Our restaurant features local products, but infuses dishes we have experienced as we traveled around the world during our careers in baseball and surfing, and from working on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico. We've taken dishes from other areas, infused it with local seafood, and created a menu that has a Caribbean-Central American feel with a Carteret County flare.

Our atmosphere is a little more modern, more contemporary than you would typically find on the Morehead City waterfront. In our opinion, we have the best location and the best ambiance of any building in Morehead, and that's for a building that's been here since the 1920s! We invite you to join us for dinner, Sunday brunch, or one of our live music events.

The food is mediocre. Not bad, but not the best. The host stand is super disorganized and a chaotic mess. The drinks are watered down cause the bartender doesn’t know how to measure out the liquor. But our waitress was wonderful and she made the experience much better than it could have been if she hadn’t been there.

I never write bad reviews but the food was so awful. For being so close the the ocean their calamari and mahi mahi tasted like it was frozen and cooked in the microwave. Their burger and teriyaki chicken sandwich were both so gross.keep in mind my husband and I are not picky people. It was So over priced and very unorganized wait staff. Will not be going back.

Looked up restaurants to go to and saw Off The Hook. It lives up to its name. The food was very good and the waitress Savanah (Savanduh) was amazing. Beautiful smile and very pleasant. She kept our glasses full and kept a smile the entire time. I will be returning. If Ever in the Morehead area give it a try!! Shrimp and grits was very good. Going back to try the seafood nachos!!!!

This place is good if you like mediocre food ( at best ) with prices that are extremely too high for quality of food. The everyday Jo can cook as good as the guy in the kitchen. Mostly over cooked seafood and poorly executed sides. No culinary talent or real flavors to be experienced here.

Had a small office Christmas party at Off the Hook. The staff was very friendly and accommodating for the 35 of us. The appetizers and small finger foods were very good. Will definitely head back to try something off of the main menu next time.

Awesome brunch! Laid back atmosphere with great food, we have not been disappointed there yet. Their seafood nachos are amazing as well as their burgers and the crab Benedict

This place is appropriately named. Cause their food was for sure off the hook. Great friendly staff, fun environment and good tv's at bar. Nice outdoor patio also and even has a cozy dining room area. 3 environments in one!!!!

My husband and I ate here for the first time today. It is Sea Food Festival weekend and they were slammed! Even though they were being pulled in all directions the staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! We had the Buffalo shrimp (they had the perfect amount of spice, not too hot) and the Grouper bites, in a Thai chili sauce. We will definitely be back!

Came down from Northern Virginia for a dive weekend and stumbled on OTH. WOW! So glad we did! Pressley was our server and as sweet as she could be. I’m on a limited menu and she was able to get the chef (and owner, Charlie) to make me something FABULOUS! The atmosphere was so comfortable. It was a little slow so Charlie was able to talk with us for a bit and we shared some stories. It was such a great experience, we went back 2 nights later, sat at the same table and asked for Pressley. Can’t wait to come back and eat their delicious food! Next time I’ll definitely have some cocktails!!
