Our party of 12 was comfortably seated by the accommodating and efficient staff, who managed to get all our orders right. The kids' menu was basic, but the fries were so good they stole the show! My shrimp roll sandwich and my wife's crab cake sandwich were both absolutely delicious and served wonderfully hot. I only wish I'd remembered to capture a good shot of that amazing shrimp roll before it was gone!

We had the best overall experience for our first time having dinner here. Our waiter was amazing and fun. We loved sitting on the terrace/patio there was a wonderful breeze. We had chicken wings and a wedge salad. Beer was ice cold, even though it was slam packed we had great service. We will be back.

The ideal spot in Carolina Beach for food and drinks! The venue boasts fantastic outdoor seating with a superb bar right on the beach. Ample parking is available, complimentary for 2 hours for patrons—simply obtain a code from the host. I opted for the PEEL + EAT SHRIMP and was delighted by the generous portion size—truly some of the best shrimp I’ve had! They also offer a selection of excellent cocktails. Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior from the parking area; once inside, you’re treated to a stunning sea view. Highly recommended!

Sitting on the pier is a great experience - even in the cold for awhile, the fresh air and wind is great. Had a small plate for lunch. This was from December 2022 - New Year’s Eve trip. Hope this is open next time I get to the beach.

*******UPDATE******* we went for drinks last night. Bartenders were on top of everything. If you like banana, coconut, and rum, get the Coconut Monk. The first time going, we ate a late dinner here. The service was really good, just crazy disorganized. We walked in, and the hostesses were not very descriptive about how everything worked, so we went out to the tiki bar. There were 3 bartenders, and it took a couple of minutes for one of them to notice us. We ordered drinks, and we're served and thought we ordered our dinner. After about 10 minutes, we realized that was not the case when one of the bartenders asked for a card to close out. We then asked about our food, and apparently, there was a miscommunication somewhere, and the food order had not been sent in. After that everything went great. Our food came out in 5 minutes, and we sat on the pier eating by moonlight. Without asking, due to the mixup, they comped our meals by half. I have the calabash shrimp and fries (really good), and he had the fish tacos (fresh and light). Great later night dinner.

First time coming here and must say it wasn't too bad. The food is kind of pricey for bar type food. But just like most of the island it's overpriced. But the burger was good. I would say it's right behind hang 10 as far as the quality of burger. Obviously, they have great beer choices. I would definitely recommend for a spot for friends or coworkers.
