^ Is that place right on the river? I think I went there once as a kid with my grandparents and my extended family, but I was never sure exactly where it was.

Yep, the building is about 30 feet from the Roanoke.

If I remember correctly we ate on a deck that ran down the side of that building. My grandparents loved that place. I'll have to check it out again the next time I head that way. It has probably been over 25 years since I've been there. I still have some fossilized shells from the driveway/parking lot.

used to put the boat in at the ramp there. tried the food once. it was ok.

if you go, just make sure that they're open. they're only there during herring season, which is january to april.

and yeah, the food is pretty average. I usually get flounder or something with my herring just because herring doesn't do much for me, and herring is the main reason to go. My dad and I usually go every year, at least once or twice.

The new El's in Morehead (in the building that was a Port City Java / Cold Stone) is really awful.

The El's that is in Cypress Bay Plaza (between Hwy 24 and 70, across 70 from the Crystal Coast Shopping Centre--Panera/Chic-Fil-A/Arbys/Michael's/Ashley's Furniture/all-that-jazz) turned into Plaza Mexico, and it's the best option now I think...

Went to Yana's in Swansboro for the first time EVER a month ago... not sure what the fuck kept me from going there before.

I saw that cypress grill pic and immediately went into the wayback machine.

Now I want a pound of cheddar from Martin Supply Co.

...I was only a little buzzed when I wrote that, no real excuse, but I meant El Zarape.

El's is still there, though I ate there the other week and it was disappointing.
