Today the slow moving system responsible for bringing all this rain to the Crystal Coast and Carteret County will continue its slow drift away from the North Carolina coast. It’s a good thing too if you ask me. Last week we were teased with really nice spring weather that reminded us summer is not far away. Then this week it turned fairly chilly some nights and rained almost everyday it seemed for almost a week.
For this Crystal Coast restaurant review, I went to Cedar Point to get some breakfast. Many visitors to our area probably remember the Cedar Point Grill as the spot for good, fast, and reasonably priced food. Well there are new owners now and to be honest, I was worried they would turn the place into something none of us would enjoy. But to my delight, the food seems even better, and the prices are still about the same.

Wednesday April 9th, Morehead City police descended upon a detached building at O’Malley’s Pub and Grill on Arendell St. Five men were in the middle of a poker game when the authorities arrived. The police confiscated a poker table, chips and cards, as well as ledgers indicating gambling was involved.
The weather was absolutely perfect yesterday along the Crystal Coast. Plus when I checked the tide I was right at 3 hours before low tide. Areas around Emerald Isle have been holding redfish all winter long. Fishing for them is fantastic fun. Even the smaller size fish put up a bullish fight. Personally I’m glad I can now fish in shorts and flip flops. All winter we’ve been fishing with winter coats and gloves. Not anymore though!
For this Crystal Coast restaurant review we ventured out to Ribeyes Steakhouse in Cape Carteret. When I pulled in the parking lot was nearly empty, usually a bad sign right? Well lucky for me it was just a slow night there. The restaurant is decorated very nicely and makes you feel right at home.
