History

The Moratoc Restaurant opened in 2007. The site originally housed Cobb’s Corner Restaurant from 1991 to 2007. Two dining rooms in the restaurant have been completely remodeled giving the restaurant a fresh new look. Moratoc is an old Indian name referring to a fast flowing river that is close by to the restaurant. The restaurant holds on to old traditions and recipes, and has added some new ones including the popular taco salad shell bowls.

    hit and miss

    Food is always good, waitresses are good at taking "by the menu" orders. For good service don't make changes, and some items come differently the menu says. And if you don't want sides (light eaters like me) pick something for the dog cause ala carteisn't an option on most items especially with breakfast.

    I love this place. The food is always great. I never have to send it back. They keep smiles on their faces when serving or making conversation. If you havent checked this place out YOU SHOULD. The menu alone is hard to put down:-D

    Our Favorite Restaurant

    After a hard week of work, my husband and I try to catch up by going out to dinner. Most places are noisy and you can barely hear each other talk making conversation impossible. We had heard about the delicious food served at the Moratoc and decided to give it a try. We liked it so much we went back the following week and have decided this is our favorite restaurant. The food, the staff and the environment couldn't be better.
