Absolutely love this restaurant! My parents moved to Oriental a few years ago, and every time I visit we always go to M&M’s. This past weekend they just happen to have a lobstah roll on the special’s menu …naked with drizzled butter. I should have ordered two! Visiting from DC, I come to Oriental for a little peace….M&M’s never disappoints with a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Add eating at M&M’s on your must-do list!

We had a great meal with excellent service. Sat on the porch. Fish and chips was great and the penne pasta with shrimp and scallops was also delicious. The servings were very generous. The local brew…Gaelic Ale was really good. Prices were reasonable and service was great.

We had a fantastic on a beautiful Saturday evening. The weather was perfect for sitting outside in the screened in porch. We were seated immediately despite arriving at peak dinner hour (7pm) and drink orders were taken within 5 minutes of arrival. We (bride and I) ordered a bowl of crab/corn chowder to split for a starter and she had a large Greek salad and I had the Lambchop special. The HUGE bowl soup arrived piping hot and the corn and crab played well off eachother and delivered a sweet, velvety taste of the sea! My wife’s salad was.a large bowl of greens, feta, kalamata olives, cucumbers, pepperoncini, onions and ripe tomatoes. She was VERY pleased with the homemade Greek dressing she ordered on the side. My lambchops (3) were large and meaty and cooked exactly to order (med rare)! They were seasoned perfectly and the two sides I ordered (brussel sprouts and spinach) were both perfectly on point! I have to admit, after reading several disparaging (recent) reviews we were a little suspect, but do not worry, this place knows their stuff (both front on the house and kitchen) and they take great pride in delivering a great experience! 5-Stars here folks…and great prices to boot!

We dine here every few years when we are in the area and M& M never disappoints. The seafood is always fresh as expected and the service was spot on. Will definitely recommend to anyone traveling thru or visiting Oriental NC. ?

Abhorrent customer service. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before two more groups had arrived. After about 5 minutes a waitress came and took their orders, but we had still not been introduced to our waitress. After another waitress came by we asked if anyone knew we had not been waited on and she asked who our server was. We told her we didn’t know and she said she would figure out. No one had asked us for a drink order or anything at this point in time. Twice we saw two waitress poke their heads out the door and look at us. After another 5 minutes a waitress had took a groups food behind us and we finally were told she’d be back with us in a minute. After another 5-10 minutes we decided to leave. Very disappointing because we had been looking forward to eating here again after we first tried it two years ago.

Lunch with a friend in Oriental. M&M's had a nice variety and price range. Enjoyed lunch and our waitress was friendly and accommodating.

@barrescue really needs to get ahold of this place. By far the worst experience we have ever encountered at a restaurant. We were on a mini vacation in Araphoe, NC. After waiting for drinks near 15mins, food for over an hour, we finally decided to leave after taking two bites of a terrible appetizer that had been reheated in the microwave before serving it to us. We were seated outside of the kitchen and could see them reheating multiple dishes during our time there. The staff we encountered were rude and very unprofessional! I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Service was upstanding, My shrimp were way overcooked and like rubber. I did mention to waitress and was told the better cook wasn't there that night and never offered to make it good.

Many people have never heard of Oriental, NC much less one of the best restaurants there - M&M’s. It’s been around a long time now and the locals know what visitors soon find out, it is a great place for good food and socializing. Whether you are a thirsty sailor, hungry farmer or passing tourist (likely dropping off your kids at one of the camps in the area) there is something for everyone.I’ve been away from Oriental for a couple of years. There’s been a lot of changes but thankfully M&M’s is not one of them. It is still a great place for good food complemented by great service.My most recent stop was to try the soft shell crab sandwich. Good stuff! A lightly fried soft shell crab perched on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato and some remoulade sauce was just what I needed. Do yourself a favor and give it a try.

Delicious, affordable (compared to the city) food in a small-town vibe. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits or soft shell crab.

Definitely a must do if you're in oriental NC. I had the shrimp and scallops penne and it didn't dissapoint. Huge portions without sacrificing the taste. They didn't skimp on the seafood either.Update: Monday is sushi night.

The food was delicious, and the staff checked on us frequently, and refilled our drinks before we even asked. We had lamb chops, baby back ribs, sautéed spinach, and homemade carrot cake and key lime pie. We ate indoors, but they have outdoor screened in seating as well. We'll be back!
