We often get to-go from here. Quality burritos, they have a serve yourself sauce too so if you pick up make sure to grab some! The order online prices are inflated from ordering the store. You can save a few bucks by going in and ordering at the counter to take to go. read more

I've been a fan of Flaming Amy's for over 20 years, ever since my first tour to Wilmington. I was looking for a California style big burrrito and I found what would soon become one of my favorite restaurants. I love the vibe. It's the perfect mix of punk rock and hippie. I love that the teas are labeled with pictures of the rapper Ice T. and I love the food. read more

I love Flaming Amy's! I ate here years ago while in Wilmington so I knew that I had to go back on my recent trip. The food and atmosphere is amazing! I choose the seasonal turkey and gravy flavored chimichanga. It was amazing! You must try it before it's gone. It paired perfectly well with a delicious beer. read more

Don't order delivery. Won't even show up, but they'll show it delivered. Unacceptable and very disappointed. Was really looking forward to this after a day on the beach. Uses a service called Chownow. Requested a full refund and they say it takes 48 hours to review. $66 tied up. Update, went and picked it up myself today. Food is very good. Go get it yourself. read more

Never been to Carolina Beach? Just drove in from somewhere 500 miles away or near the Canadian border, and perhaps suspicious of tiki decorations and "best burgers on the beach" signs next to a giant fake shark? Perhaps you spot the mural-clad building on the side of the road heading out of town and can't make a u-turn fast enough. Flamin' Amy's has a reputation from the sister restaurant further inland and dishes up standard Americanized Mex fare; known best for their forearm sized burritos one can also select soft tacos or quesadillas. This location appears to be converted from an older fast-food joint with booths from an old Hardees and island decor (save the Elvis themed private dining nook). F.A. On our midafternoon Saturday visit was generally clean with a slightly antiseptic smell. The employees, not visible. But after a few short minutes the pleasant staffer took our order next to the "cash preferred" sign. Orders come with complementary chips (in baskets) and salsa (multiple flavors including some non traditional such as avocado and cucumber) self served from a free standing bar station. Food was served promptly on grande dinner plates. Tacos were thin flour, damp and overstuffed with lettuce, falling apart after first bites. Shrimp were thawed and unseasoned; fajita steak was super fatty, chorizo and ground beef were dry. Forgettable. Sides of black beans and brown rice were plentiful but unseasoned. The philly cheesesteak and chinese "wok" burritos were overstuffed but hot and enjoyed by our party. Nutshell - stick to the burritos if you're starving for Mexican and can't leave the beach. They are decent and not overpriced. If you're looking for better fare, head inland to Capricho. read more

So glad this is where we chose to stop for a late lunch. Order your burrito at the register, grab a basket of complimentary chips from the counter, choose from a variety of salsas from the salsa trolley (missed opportunity for a photo) and find a seat. Oh boy! That's one mighty burrito!!! I got the Wok on the Beach and was NOT disappointed. I am so full I need a nap and not to move for a few hours. The fountain soda was perfectly carbonated and I was definitely greedy with the free refills. The decor is spunky and I loved it! Offering artwork from locals to view and buy. And now I'm fat and happy!! read more

Kick-ass burritos! Great local ambiance! Relatively cheap eats for CB and the island area! Kids welcome

Ordered the Big Jerk Burrito. Jerk seasoning was above average, burrito was huge. Pineapple Jalapeño salsa from the trolley complimented it well. Complimentary chips and salsa for the table! read more

We visited Flaming Amy's for a casual dinner one weekday evening while vacationing in Carolina Beach. Their concept is simple - you order at the front counter, get your own chips and salsa, and find a table. We started with the black bean queso. It was one of my favorite dishes of the night! For our entrees, I had a basic shrimp quesadilla, and my husband had a double ground beef burrito. The quesadilla used smaller shrimp, but had a lot of them. The filling was just shrimp and cheese, although I could have easily jazzed it up with any of their number of available fillings. This would be a great meal for kids or picky eaters, as you can customize everything. The quesadilla had a lot of cheese, and I especially loved dipping pieces of my quesadilla into the black bean queso. I also enjoyed the included sour cream. My dish came with rice and beans (I chose pinto), and both were good, although the rice was a bit on the crunchy side. My husband loved his burrito. It was fat and well-filled! Enough said. The salsa bar had a lot of options, and we enjoyed the variety. The atmosphere was spacious and comfortable. And the prices couldn't be beat. Flaming Amy's is a step above Chipotle, Moe's, or similar concepts. We'd likely return if we revisit Carolina Beach. read more

Eat at Flaming Amy's! All of the servers were so nice and friendly! I got a half serving of the nachos, and it was a HUGE serving. Their guacamole was great and their queso was amazing as well. My husband got the Churkeychanga which was amazing!! Their chips were fresh and they had lots of salsas to choose from. Whenever I come back this way, I will eat here again! read more

I was in need of a burrito and this place did not disappoint. It has a cool vibe and great service.

We decided to stop here on the way out of town. It was super easy to understand how to order. We brought our dogs onto the patio... definitely dog friendly! We ordered the seafood burritos can't remember the names of them. But we loved them. They wrote so tasty in comparison to the previous taco place we had tried. It's similar to a Chipotle but better. There was a salsa bar and we tried all that they offered. Everything was just so good and seasoned to perfection. If we ever end up in Carolina beach again we plan on going here! Can't miss it!! read more

This is the best spot at CB. Flaming Amy's is so amazing (RIP bowl :"( you are missed). They have an extensive menu across many cuisines. Since it is a burrito spot, you have plenty of Mexican-ish options. There is also some Asian options and some other American-esque options. We called it in while on the beach and it was ready within 10 minutes. The prices are cheap and the ingredients are really good quality. The burritos are massive and can honestly make two meals. They come with chips so be sure to grab some salsas: the ginger peach is amazing. There are tons of vegan options and it is so easy to customize exactly what you're in the mood for. I love the Wok on the beach with tofu, but you seriously cannot go wrong! read more

It's November so that means Churkeychanga time! First of November until right before turkey day is the only time it's available. And it's worth a try, we get at least 1 every year but it's hard not to get a regular menu item too and hit up the salsa bar! Almost always a manageable line, but that is the sign they are doing things right. read more

Good service, okay Tacos and good local beer. Nothing out of the ordinary. But a good place to grab something quick to eat. Easy parking which is a win in Carolina Beach. The chips were grease and a little bit stale. The tacos needed more flavor. Good combinations but the flavors were not there. The restaurant was a little dirty. There were dead flies on the window frame as well. This not a place I would go back. read more

I honestly have to say I went here out of desperation on a lunch break one afternoon -- I've wanted to return ever since. The prices were high when I was staring at the menu and the vibe inside wasn't blowing me away. I figured that they probably made respectable burritos because I'd seen the stickers literally everywhere, but I didn't have the world of expectations... I was delightfully wrong when I opened up the takeout bag and realized that it was a very sizeable burrito inside and it was packed with some amazing flavors. I also give credit to the staff for being incredibly helpful inside and patient with me throughout my order. read more

My first experience at Flaming Amy's was years ago and it was amazing! I don't think I could find anything wrong! My food has always been good! The service and atmosphere is vibing and hip! My go to has been the Thai Mee Up oh my goodness it's so good it's an Asian burrito filled with Roasted red peppers, red onions, shredded carrots, rice, beans, cheese, Thai Peanut sauce, and your choice of Grilled Filling. I always add extra Thai peanut sauce! It's a bit hot and I love it! A nice cold one or a soda and I'm set! If you've not experienced Flaming Amy's I highly recommend stop, go in and this staple in the area! Everything is served hot and fresh and the salsa bar is awesome! I love the pineapple salsa just so good! Visitors and vacationers make a stop here as one of your places to eat. The prices are so reasonable and for the amount of food you get, you'll be astonished! read more

The best food, service, and a clean relaxed atmosphere! we eat there often and they are consistently excellent!

Great food and great service! The salsa bar and unlimited chips are great. Two of us got burritos, which were very filling and delicious. Another member of our party got a burrito bowl and that was enjoyed as well. Cool place. read more

One of my favorite places to eat at CB. Little pricy but portions are huge and you will leave full. Loved the salsa bar too, so nice to try different sauces. I had the nachos but the burritos looked great too. Everyone I was with loved what they got. We will be visiting this place again! read more

Loved "Thai me up" burrito with jerk tofu and black beans, was hearty enough to keep me filled up till dinner. The complimentary tortilla chips were ok. And the basic tomato salsa flavorless! Otherwise, kids were ok with their food. Service was quick and courteous. read more

We grabbed two jerk chicken burritos on our way to the beach and these were delish! They were super big and full and left us very satisfied. My only criticism is that I wish the chicken was cut up a little smaller and that there was a ton more jerk seasoning or flavor punch. Usually jerk chicken is very seasoned, almost blackened. I was missing that. But if it was just a chicken burrito, sure, it was fantastic! Also it wasn't super fast. The chips were great. I appreciate all of the different sauces. The Flaming Amy's sauce was the fan favorite. Also the sweet tea was awesome! The owner was super pleasant and staff was friendly! read more

The place has great vibes and delicious food. The service is amazing. Staff cares for the custom orders (especially vegetarians). A must go place at Kure Beach read more

When I first came to Wilmington the first place that was recommended was Flaming Amy's. I can't count the number of times that I have eaten at the location on Oleander and the FA Bowl on Shipyard. This was the first time I have eaten this location in Carolina Beach. Today I had the best, best, best burrito I have eaten ! I had the Notorious P.I.G. Cuban pork, Chorizo, bacon and cheese with a Sriracha slaw. As always the variety of salsas were fresh and very tasty ! I have driven from Fayetteville to Wilmington many times just to get FAB fix. read more

My kid goes - "my stomach hurts - but I don't regret it - because it was that good". That says it all. It even went to the level that - "why don't they have a flaming Amy in Raleigh - where we are from". Awesome place - good food, good ambiance. Not commercial feel at all. Nicely done.

I can't wait to go back and try more options. I had the Greek burrito and it was juicy and delicious. Basically a giant Greek salad wrapped up. There is a salsa bar so you can try all different ones with your free chips. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because we had to ask multiple times for the beers we ordered with our food read more

I first experienced Flaming Amy's in Wilmington, at their flagship location. And it was about ... hrm... 10 years or more ago! But I always thought if I was back in Wilmington, I'd want to eat there again. Imagine my family's surprise to learn they opened a second location in Carolina Beach! We stayed at the Ft. Fisher Air Force Rec Area nearby (see my review of that) and just knew we had to visit this Flaming Amy's restaurant. My one and only caveat (hence the four stars instead of five) is ... waiting on line to order. I absolutely hate this part, and nothing will ever make me happy about it. But on to the food. Yum and YUM again!! Serve-yourself baskets of chips that are really tasty (Funny moment: a server dropped a whole tub of those in the kitchen, in full view of everyone on our side of the restaurant. She had the grace to laugh at herself as she swept them up. Thumbs-up!) They have a great salsa bar, where you can choose from about six types of salsas, also serve yourself. I don't actually recall prices because I was treated by family, but I believe they are on the reasonable side for how much food you get. Everyone in the family got something they liked, from quesadillas for the kids to combo plates for the grownups. My daughter's taco salad looked amazing! All of us took a little bit with us, because they give you so much. All in all, I'd say Flaming Amy's 2 is just as good as the original. Go! Eat! Enjoy! read more

It was pretty good, we went later in the night and it was summertime. The service could have been a bit better but overall good. I would do this as more of a lunch or to go place. read more

Decent food, but not a comfortable restaurant. Friendly staff. If it's your first time there it's unclear about getting your own salsa for your chips and such. My husband and I shared a plate of nachos (nothing outstanding) and a Jamaican salad with jerk chicken (was good). Did enjoy the tea dispensers. read more

Great spot at Carolina Beach. Huge portions. Family of 6 left stuffed. Will definitely go back next year!!

Great selections! If you can't find a burrito you like here? Then you do not like burritos! Mine had portabella as my grilled 'meat', carrots, black beans and rice with a peanut sauce. Totally perfect for a vegetarian option! They had multiple salsas to choose from for the free chips. My husband enjoyed his as well. I don't remember what he got but he ate the whole thing they are perfect portions and you leave full and happy. Their staff was friendly welcoming and helpful. Yay! Great experience! read more
