Stopped in for lunch on our way to the beach and found Mj's to be a great little seafood place.
Ordered the First Mate's Platter and the Mj's Crab Pretzel, which is touted as one of their signature appetizers.
The plater was excellent! We went with the oysters raw, and the clams steamed. The oysters were REALLY good. The clams were on the smaller side but super tasty. The shrimp was perfect!
The pretzel was good but a bit soggy under the crab dip. If it was crispy, it probably would have lived up to the hype. The cheesy crab dip was solid.
Our server, Joy was perfect. Attentive & friendly in the way an experienced server knows how to be.
As far as the atmosphere, it's a cute place but the decor (the super cool model boats) needs a good dusting.
Small spot, but lots of big flavor. Very extensive menu but not too overwhelming. Everything was delicious and bold. Our table had the tuna crisp, gator bites, grouper fingers, crab dip burger, and speaking as a ranch connoisseur, the ranch is FANTASTIC. Great service and atmosphere.
I was lucky to wander into this popular local spot. The place was busy, which always attracts my attention when I'm hungry.
It was just me, so I sat at the bar where they had the football game on.
The bartender was very friendly and helpful with the menu.
I ordered grouper fish and chips with bacon grits and a salad.
The salad came out in a chilled bowl with homemade ranch dressing. Yum.
I was pleasantly surprised by the grits, the texture was perfect, and they were packed with flavor. The fish was not over breaded, the filets were moist, and I enjoyed them with just lemon and both the tarter sauces he gave me to try.
A definite must try if you are in New Bern.
