Casual with amazing food and drinks. We ordered the Shrimp Nachos. OMG, the platter was piled high with crunchy homemade tortilla chips layered with actual real cheese (not cheap "cheese sauce") lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, banana peppers, avocado, and a generous amount of shrimp. If you see a chip with a bubble-those were my favorite. So delicious and could have been a meal for both of us to split. We also got The Gaff and it was absolutely delicious. The French fries are house cut and they were fantastic. Our drinks were great. Our server was attentive despite it being really busy. We will go back again this week while we're here.

There is a lot of seating available outside on picnic tables with umbrellas for shade (there are also tables inside). I got the vegetarian wrap, but in order to make the vegan I did ask for it without the pesto cream cheese, which meant it was rather bland. Unfortunately, the only other potentially vegan option was their beyond burger. However, they didn't carry any vegan cheese or vegan sauces (aside from ketchup), which was disappointing. In the future I think I would get the beyond burger anyway, as it would at the very least have some protein. Everyone else in my party seemed quite happy with their meals, so likely their non-vegan food is great. Their coffee was also pretty good (and they had oat milk & almond milk available as cows milk alternatives). I will say, the marinated cucumbers were fantastic, and again, the prices were great. Just wish that they had at least one menu item which was fully vegan without modifications. Maybe a hummus wrap?

So glad I did because the restaurant itself is a whole vibe tucked away from the busy street in Cape Carteret. We had the most amazing time here. Everyone was wonderful, helpful with how to order and there is plenty of space inside and outside for the warmer weather. My husband and I chose a table right next to an elderly couple who was trying Coastal Haze for the first time (they live out of town and visit this area once a year) and they were lovely to have a conversation with. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my husband got the wings - both were really good and filling! The tacos had plenty of shrimp, were flavorful and came with these steak fries that were thin, crispy and so good! My husband is sort of a snob when it comes to wings and he was pleasantly surprised. I already can't wait to come back to try more items on the menu!

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR OIL I could taste what you cooked 10 years ago. Idk if your supposed to use the same grease for seafood AND fried chicken, but, apparently, that's what's happening. I would suggest one dedicated fryer for seafood. You may be able to get by with frying the hushpuppies in the seafood fryer, and use a dedicated fryer for chicken and fries and onion rings. I'm not that hard to please, but, the first thing I bit into buy lbit into was a hushpuppy that tasted weird, then I decided it test like fries chicken. So did the oysters andcthe shrimp. I couldn't even eat the onion rings, the taste was too awful. I'm SORRY to write this. I hate that I had to. I drove from almost Greenville NC, and was salivating all the way.
