    Pogue sandwich with a subbed side salad
    Jonathan Z.

    Food was pretty good. Check-in process can be tough for a large party with kids since they can be a bit unpredictable and since they have a very strict policy on seating: -Entire party must be present to be seated (like literally IN the building-they wouldn't even seat the half of our party that was present while the other half put their strollers away in the car since there's no elevator to the second floor) -2 hour time limit -No adding to the party once seated They did have a bar area upstairs and a nice view upstairs. We enjoyed their Pogue sandwich, which was grilled chicken breast, bacon, onion rings, Bro sauce on a bun, and subbed my fries for a side salad with balsamic. My bf got the fish and chips and it had an extra thin, extra crunchy batter with a meaty fish interior. Def one of the better ones we've had out here. Service was pretty friendly and they do hustle here. This place fills up, even right after opening so def plan accordingly. They have patio seating but it's been so humid and hot that that was def a no-go for us. Great little Tex-Mex Tequila cocktail (spicy pineapple marg) that's worth a try.

    The food was EXCELLENT!!!! We had a party of 12. They sat us within 20 mins of arriving. THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THAT THEY DO NOT LET YOU RESERVE AHEAD TO AVOID A WAIT. But we got lucky that the wait wasn't that long. The coconut shrimp is amazing. I loved my mahi mahi sandwich. The cheesesteak sub was also a 10 out of 10. The fish and chips comes with these unique salt and vinegar waffle fries Oh and the butter rum coconut shrimp is insanely good- try it

    We visited here in the off season and I have to say it was "just ok". Most of the staff didn't not seem to have much personality. The artichoke dip and chips was good- the Italian sub was good but the chop with chicken was not great. It had waaaaayyyy too many conflicting flavors- from pico de gallo that tasted like it was ready to be thrown out to a green salsa, lots of lime flavor and something (not sure if it was the black beans or rice) but it tasted like dirt. I rarely can't find something positive in a dish but this one was not great. Reading the menu- all the ingredients sounded great together but this bowl just didn't work for me.

    We really enjoyed our experience here . Friendly service and Nice drink selection. We sat outside on the second floor. It was comfortable and they had TV's outside . We ordered a few appetizers- tuna , spinach artichoke and loaded cheesy chips . They were all delicious. The parking area was busy but we were able to find a spot. They required our entire party to be present in order to be seated.

    Food is delicous - worth checking out. They have later dining hours than some nearby resturants. Lots of space - multi levels of dining areas and mutliple bar areas. There seemed to be a little bit of a wait, bar had space.

    The drinks and service were pretty good but please, for the love of god, grill your tortillas. It is criminal to serve raw tortillas

    Bernie's Brother is great- we've gone every year we've visted Corolla and are never disappointed. Their cocktails are great and food is excellent. Service from bartenders and servers always is average but isn't bad by any means. :)

    Pub style fish and chips

    I'd give Bernie's Brother a solid 4 stars. We arrived here at 5pm on a Saturday & I had 10 people in my group & they quickly got a table for us. So lucky we ate at this time 'cause after 7pm it was getting packed! I got the Pub Style Fish & Chips: (7/10). The fish was good, the beer batter was nice & crispy as well as their waffle fries. I'd pass on the cole slaw as it lacked flavor. My partner ordered the Margarita Shrimp Angel Hair Pasta & he said it was delicious (9/10). He said it was full of flavor, filling, & had tons of shrimp! I took a bite of my friend's Cuban Style Steak (cooked medium rare) & oh man, that steak was so tender & juicy! I don't know what they put in the marinade for the steak, but it was so delicious & the chimichurri sauced on top was the bomb! Some of my friends got a few of their cocktails & margaritas, & they said it was just decent since there wasn't much alcohol in all of the drinks. Overall, Bernie's Brother is a great restaurant. Our server was attentive & the ambiance was inviting. Just be mindful of the wait time since they get very busy!

    Fish tacos, substitute rice/beans for fries.

    We were recommended to eat at this location, for their good food. We arrived, and the wait was 90 minutes. We were fine with waiting, and gave them our phone number and told to expect a text when our table was ready. We decided to take a walk across the street and do some shopping, until our table was ready. Overall, it took around 60 min, and got our text and got seated. The inside of the restaurant wasn't huge, yet they also have outside seating too, a downstairs and upstairs. We ordered some drinks, and loaded cheese chips. The drinks and cheese chips came out quickly, and hot. The kids really enjoyed the cheesey chips as an appetizer. We ordered multiple taco dinners, chicken fingers and fish and chips. All the food tasted great, the tacos were three tacos and actually loaded with more meat than we anticipated. The reason for the 3 stars, the service simply wasn't great. Not sure if short handed, but our table and the table next to us, once our food got served, our server was non existent. We even had to wait to get our bill, she was lingering around the kitchen or walking around. I'd say if service improves, the overall experience of this restaurant is really solid!

    We arrived as a group of 3 and were told the wait was about an hour. Waited at the bar and had some drinks while tracking the wait time online. Also got a text when our table was ready. Note-it gets chilly outside in the evening! Tex mex pineapple margarita- a bit sweet and not too spicy. I'd have loved it to be spicier, but it looked good and tasted just fine. The chicken health stack meal was very flavorful and enjoyable. Food and appetizer took awhile to arrive but the setting was relaxing. There are 2 couches with a cute fire feature but given how windy it was, we couldn't use it. Very nice staff and a lovely place for a meal.

This tiki bar, which opened its doors in June of 2024, has quickly become a hotspot in the area. During the weekends, the bar is buzzing with excitement and is always packed with people eagerly waiting to check in. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, creating the perfect setting for a fun night out. I had the pleasure of trying their margaritas, and I must say, they were truly exceptional. The bartender at Duck Dive Bar really knows their craft and made some of the best margaritas I've ever had. They were perfectly balanced and simply delicious. One unique aspect of Duck Dive Bar is their Friday morning yoga sessions. For just $20, you can participate in a yoga class that includes a drink afterwards. It's a great way to start your day and unwind in a beautiful setting. I also appreciated that they had mocktails available for kids, making it a family-friendly establishment. The kids seemed to enjoy their drinks just as much as the adults enjoyed their cocktails. Overall, my experience at Duck Dive Bar was fantastic. From the lively atmosphere to the delicious drinks and friendly staff, it's a must-visit spot in Duck, NC. I highly recommend stopping by Duck Dive Bar for a great time with friends and family. Free parking lot.

We waited 30 minutes to get in an order and lines were chaos with many people butting in line. If you're going to be that successful of a place, as you obviously are, you need to have a bartending staff that can cope with the volume or just turn people away. We will come back but hoping to find it a bit more organized. Good luck! We like you!
