Ours don't look like the picture as the chilli looked burnt or something but it didn't look fresh. I tried a few and they were just okay. Philly was just okay too. Probably wouldn't stop here again. Reasonably priced thought IMO. Online ordering tacks on some fee too. 4 stars is being a bit generous but it's NYE!

After hearing recommendation after recommendation, I made my first stop at Island Burgers & Bites…read morein Carolina Beach. I even walked over a mile to get there... so if this burger was bad, I was going to have a very long, disappointing walk back. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem. I ordered the double cheeseburger Carolina-style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. A Carolina-style burger... in Carolina Beach. It just felt right. First of all, this thing was HUGE. The beef was incredibly well seasoned with those crisp, lacy edges. The chili had just enough sweetness, the mustard brought the perfect tang, and the onions added that fresh crunch. Then there's the toasted potato bun--still the undisputed champion of burger buns--and the perfectly melted cheese holding this glorious mess together. What makes this place even cooler is that it started in a gas station back in 2017. Now it's one of the most talked-about burger spots around. It's considered by many to be the third best burger in North Carolina and after one bite, I completely understand why. Sometimes the best food comes from the places you'd least expect. Despite being busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept things moving without missing a beat. Final score: 9.8/10. This officially takes the #1 spot on the Ev's Eats Best Burger List... for now. Every burger from here on out has a new standard to chase. #CarolinaBeach #IslandBurgersAndBites #NorthCarolinaEats #NCEats NCFood

We were confused because their website said they were open until 9 p.m. We called the restaurant and a recording picked up and said they closed at 8. One, change your website, a 6 yr could do that. Two, obviously Covid has not affected your business to the point where you decide you want to turn customers away. If you want to close at 7:50 p.m., advertise that, don't be rude and close up because you don't want to serve customers that close to your perceived time to end the day. Third, I can see that you are trying to get negative reviews removed from Yelp. Maybe if you ran your business better, you wouldn't have to nix your bad reviews. Just a thought.

Upon entering there was one couple in an otherwise large empty restaurant. A few to go orders came in/out. I Ordering Just 1Steak&cheese Bendito $16.50(8inch only size) & my wife a classic Steak &cheese.$14.50. After 30 minutes, (which i let them know) I had to walk up to the counter and inquire. Just a few minutes. Upon arrival I remarked, you know that was a long time. She quipped back it takes 15-20 minutes to cook instead of apologizing. I said there is no one here. I would hate to see it busy here. I responded I would not come back. No apologies. Also I am against tipping at a counter that is just like Burger King's. they walk it out only They start a suggested tip ratio starting at 18% My wife gave 10%. The tip had to be given upon ordering, too bad, but it is a glorified walk up Burger King that wants 18% tip on $31.00 for two 8 inch steak a cheese's.
