Everything was beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the experience. Such a lovely spot to relax and treat yourself. Highly recommend supporting this place--you won't be disappointed.

Just wanted to share my experience at Scallywag's Bar & Grill at Badin Lake Marina badin lake nc…read morethis past weekend Saturday may 16th ..... This past Saturday, my cousin and I went to Scallywags bar and Grill to get an appetizer and a few drinks.... We walked in, sat down at the bar. No one was behind the bar when we walked in so we sat down and waited patiently... after about five or six minutes of sitting at the bar, Tasha a server at the Resturant came behind the bar and started making drinks for the bartender Christy because Christy was nowhere to be found and there were customers at the bar needing drinks such as myself and about 4-5 older gentlemen that were already there when we came in ....Tasha came behind the bar and began refilling the gentleman's drinks. She then turned to us and asked us what we would like to drink. I asked for a house vodka Red Bull, and my cousin was unsure of what she wanted. I asked for a beverage menu for my cousin to look at. And I also asked for food menus as well..... Tasha began making my drink while my cousin was overlooking the beverage menu. After we had been there for approximately 15-20 minutes finally, Christy the bartender appears out of nowhere.... after Christy, the bartender had been back behind the bar for a few minutes she still had not addressed me or my cousin so I asked her if we could please have some food menus, (my second time asking) and that my cousin knew what she wanted to drink.... She checked my Cousin's ID and after checking her ID walked away as if she was going to begin making the drink. She then turned around and walked to the kitchen and was in there for another 5-6 minutes .... She came back from the kitchen and she looks at me and states that she is not going to be serving me any food when I asked why she was not serving me and what I had done wrong she made a complete LIE and falsly accused me of coming into the restaurant a month prior, and making a scene about a to go order and that , that is why she was not serving me .... I immediately called Christy out on her lie in front of everyone at the bar and told her that we both know that was not what happened and I told her to pull up the cameras and show me where I supposedly made a scene she stormed out from behind the bar, walked away to the kitchen and yelled the name, ""Denise"" that was very funny because Denise never came over to me or my cousin and said a single word to us ...... me, and my cousin immediately left the bar, and I went outside on the patio and found the owner. Connie pulled her to the side and explained to her everything that had just happened. She stated to me that she had not heard anything about someone making a scene over a Togo order and I told her that was because IT NEVER HAPPEND!!! the story that Christy made up about me coming into the restaurant and making a scene about that to go order was complete LIE. She did not want to serve me and so she made up a reason on why she wasn't going to.... I hope that Gerald and Connie pull up the footage from that day review it and see that Christy's claim for not wanting to serve me was completely false and made up. They truly need to fire her, she is driving all the business away from Scallywags's . She is a sorry excuse of a bartender whenever she is working customers at the bar and the servers at the restaurant wait long periods of time for their drinks and for there order to be taken because she often disappears from behind the bar!!!! She sucks at her job and she should have been fired a long time ago!! This is the type of people that Scallywags employees to work at their restaurant people who drive the business away and drive their money away!

The shrimp wrap, however, was disappointing.

What really stands out with Burtons at Birkdale is the service! I have only eaten at a table once, I tend to eat at the bar. Like previous bartenders, today was no different. I had a great conversation with Sam this evening; who made the Pappardelle Bolognese recommendation. Great job Sam! She really made my dining experience pleasant with her conversation; without neglecting the other customers at the bar. As for the ambiance, it is always a nice place to dine. I am grateful to live walking distance from Burtons Management, keep up the good work. The staff seems to enjoy working at Burton.

Came here with a last minute reservation with my dear hubs the other night as he requested we go…read moresomewhere healthy. I was seated immediately while waiting for him to arrive. My server was amazing as we (Im)patiently waited for him. I ordered the roasted beet tower to start. Finely diced marinated beets with a thin slice of goat cheese topped with mixed greens and a vinaigrette. This dish tasted so fresh! My husband's only complaint was chasing the tiny beets around the plate (first world problems) I chose to have a cup of their creamy chicken soup. No rice, no potato filler - cream based, fresh chicken mushrooms and carrots danced around my mouth. Topped with Gruyère (I think) each bite was like a rich warm hug from grandma Our entrees arrived in a timely manner - him having the ahi tuna poke bowl. He chose to substitute the rice for mixed greens. He devoured the entree and noted the tuna being sweet for the longer sear - his fault, he forgot to ask for it to be cooked extremely rare or done raw, poke style as it was to be a poke bowl which is typically served raw. I chose the harvest bowl. A base of rice and quinoa topped with Brussel sprouts, beets, greens, goat cheese, and butternut squash. I chose to add grilled shrimp. Holy cow. I felt like all of the vegetables were home grown from the chef's garden. Perfectly roasted and seasoned. An impressive rice/quinoa topped vegetable ratio exceeded all expectations!!!
