My girlfriend and I stayed in Carolina Beach for a week and we stopped here once, it was a Saturday…read moreso it was very busy, we had a 35 minute wait, but it was very well worth it. The food came out surprisingly quick for just how busy they were, both parking lots were jam packed. Our server was very kind as well. I ordered the Asada Tacos with their house made Guacamole, my girlfriend had the Burrito Supreme. We both were taken aback at how amazingly everything tasted. The steak in my tacos had the perfect level of charring to them, they were not rubbery like most restaurants. And their Guac was enough to make us go back a second time on our trip. Overall, if I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would. If you plan on staying in Carolina Beach for an extended period of time, make room for 2 trips to this restaurant.

Nollie's Taco Joint is a hidden gem in Carolina Beach with great food and even better vibes…read more The setup is a small, skater-style shack, but don't let that fool you, the tacos are creative and genuinely tasty. If you order the queso, it comes with a huge basket of heavily seasoned chips, which was a great surprise and perfect for sharing. We came with a group of six and sat outside enjoying the spring weather, and the whole experience just felt easy and fun. Everyone found something they liked, and the food came out fresh and flavorful across the board (tacos, burrito, and tortilla bowls). They also have beers on draft and a cool skate shop vibe with merch, which adds to the uniqueness of the place. Nothing exceptional about the service but the food and vibe did the heavy lifting. Great atmosphere, solid food, and a spot that feels local in the best way. Definitely worth checking out if you're in CB.

"Delicious dive on Lake Park Blvd in Carolina Beach"…read more Came here for lunch on a Sunday at right around noon. The place is dark and kind-of makes you feel like you're in the bowels of a wooden ship. There's a large bar in the center, and a few tables around it, as well as a few tables outside in the back. We were seated right away. I ordered the hot honey shrimp wrap as well as the pickled veggies appetizer. My dining partner got the quinoa grain and greens bowl with blackened tuna. Our food came out in around 10 minutes. The hot honey shrimp wrap came with french fries, to my surprise (didn't see that mentioned on the menu), which were fine. The wrap itself was DELICIOUS. MAN, that hot honey was SO tasty, and the greens and corn batter on the shrimp really complemented it well. It is a very, very messy dish to eat with your hands, so be prepared, but it's well worth the sacrifice. The pickled veggies were local and very tasty-- also a very good value for $5. My dining partner really liked her bowl and the tuna in it as well. The staff were quite attentive, regularly checking in, filling drinks, and clearing dirty plates. Only caution is that a lot of the batters are corn-based, so be careful if you have that allergy. Overall, would very happily come back-- great in all respects. I recommend highly!

Cheese dip was good. Taco salad wasn't great (steak meat was chewy). Camarones Ala diablo was a solid 3 stars, but it was hot as hell. I love spicy food, but it is hard to enjoy when your eyes are tearing up and snot is coming out of your nose. Drinks were okay. The bartender put too much spice around the rim. The condensation was causing it to drip down the glass, making a hell of a mess. Service was terrible. Were were the first people there for lunch. One table that came in 10 minutes after us, changed twice while we were there. The waitress was MIA multiple times. There is another Mexican restaurant in Carolina Beach that is just a few blocks away, which is much better. I doubt I'll be back.

I went in all because earlier in the day, I saw they had Elote in a cup... and I've never had it in…read morea cup before, always on the cob. The chips and salsa was delicious. Salsa wasn't spicy, which is how I prefer it. There was an awkward wait being seated, as I was greeted by the bartender, then she disappeared, then greeted me again and finally told me I could sit anywhere I like. I grabbed a menu and had a seat and a different employee came to get my order. She was very nice and attentive. The inside was bright and lively with music playing. They also have outdoor seating available, but it was pretty windy outside with a storm coming in, so it was empty. The only downside to this restaurant is that there is only about 3 spots for cars to park near the entrance, as their parking lot to the left is completely blocked off with concrete barriers and the parking lot to the right is solely for the restaurant to the right of this one. I ended up having to park across the street in the pay-per-hour parking. That's a bummer.

Immediately greeted by a super friendly bartender who was also waiting tables. From the hostess to the food runner to the waitstaff... all super friendly and very attentive. Ordered raspberry lemon drop martini that was good (super sweet) and a spicy margarita of some sort - so so good. Highly recommend. Also ordered some type of tea drink that was okay. Ordered calamari that was yummy with a delicious Thai sauce. Got the Cobb salad with grilled chicken and the scallops (subbed fries for the rice) that came with a corn/edamame succotash that was great. The food was terrific. Very nice spot! Would come again.

Awesome spot for some great seafood. This is chain, but don't feel like it at all. When we were…read moretold it was a chain, we were shocked. Doesn't give that feel at all. It's a small place with a long bar and some high tops. It was very busy the entire time we were there with people even posting outside for a table. We sat at the bar. The service here is fantastic. Super friendly and constantly checking in on you. They work as a team. They add to the vibe for sure. Ordered the Michaelada and a margarita. These were both delicious. The beer based drink comes with an oyster. Added hot sauce to it to make it extra spicy. The margarita was tasty. We didn't order apps as we opted for a boil bucket - don't remember the name. It came with oysters, clams, streamed shrimp, corn, and crab legs. It was $75 and was plenty for two people. There was an additional $2 or $3 charge for steaming the oysters. Didn't get a pic as we tore into the bucket. All was delicious. Would come again!!!

It's like they have known you forever. They constantly check in to make sure all is good. We ordered a skinny marg (delicious and no marg mix - fresh squeezed juice), a cucumber/jalapeño tequila w/club, and a screwdriver that was in special. Check the specials as they have lots going on. Drinks were terrific. Ordered the wings and onion rings (wings and rings - not in menu but should be - just made it up as typing). Onion rings were good. Just basic frozen ones. But these wings - yes!!! You can tell why they won awards. Absolutely delicious. We ordered 12 and were able to get two sauce flavors. We got the garlic buffalo (get this) and the hot honey mustard (get these too). Seriously, delicious. Don't skip this place! It's pretty wonderful.

I've eaten at this restaurant many times during the summer months last year, and the food was…read moreexceptional. I was so happy to have such a good restaurant at Blakslee Air Force Recreation Center. When I recently read several negative reviews, I was honestly surprised because that hadn't been my experience. Last month, however, my family and I ate here and ordered two seafood platters and a shrimp dinner. Unfortunately, the food was nothing like it had been the previous year. Everything was over-fried, and for the price we paid, it was very disappointing. I chose not to leave a review because the restaurant was extremely busy, the staff seemed overwhelmed, and I assumed they were simply having an off night. I stay here for one week every month during the spring and summer. This trip, my family wasn't with me, and I was looking forward to enjoying dinner here again. I ordered the shrimp dinner, which came with only 10 small shrimp, French fries that had clearly been refried, and a cucumber salad that had no flavor. I don't normally order fries, but I remembered how fresh they used to be, so I made an exception. Sadly, they were not fresh and tasted like they had been cooked twice. It disappoints me to write this because I genuinely enjoyed this restaurant in the past and wanted to see it succeed. Unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly compared to last year. Based on my recent experiences, I won't be dining here again for the rest of the season. I truly hope they can return to the quality they once had.
