    We had a great experience at the George. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the Cape Fear River. We started with 2 delicious appetizers (crab dip and tuna)- our party of 5 each ordered a different entree and we were all very pleased with our meals. The desserts were great as well. The service was perfect. Our waitress was timely, nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to others.

    The grouper, Cajun Alfredo linguine with shrimp and scallops, and mahi-mahi all were plentiful and delicious. The she-crab soup and raw oysters also hit the spot. I myself enjoyed the tequila drink (Jack Frost), tasty and refreshing. Our server Jessica was a delight. We shall return!

    FAB-U-LOUS!!!! This restaurant never disappoints and I feel so fortunate to live nearby. Our server Luwanda (sp?) was a delight. She’s attentive and knowledgeable about the menu offerings and made certain our drinks were never empty. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food and said it was “perfect”. I particularly enjoyed my pulled pork sliders. It was a mouth full of flavors. The dishes I’ve had in the past have been flavorful too. The Oyster Rock is definitely a restaurant destination.
