Servers in the joint looked so tired but were nice. The hotdog itself was meh even with chili and cheese and there wasn't any tables to sit at to eat at so we went to sit at the boardwalk. Overall I personally wouldn't be back unless I needed a fast cheap option. Curve your expectations with this one.

A casual space to enjoy the great weather. Even thought its counter serve, they should ask if it's first time and explain the menu to you. The guy who took my order was patient, but an overview of the menu would have been helpful. But the main reason why I'm disappointed is because there is not near as many French fries on the corn dog as the picture shows. I get food doesn't always look like the pictures, but they are extremely overselling how many fries come on the corn dogs - almost half my dog was missing fries! Also, I asked for my sauces on the side and they come in such tiny cups which don't include near enough sauce but also the opening is entirely too small to fit the corn dog into, making it difficult to dip. I also got passion fruit boba tea which had real passion fruit pieces in it - this is not advertised and takes away from the boba. Overall, this place is gimmicky and people just go for the novelty.

It's breaded like a corndog, then coated in potatoes and then drizzled with ketchup. It's a sweet batter and the all beef hot dog really stands out. It's so rich you could easily split it between 2 people. I also ordered the elote style corn which is also amazing.

Unfortunately, someone got sick right in front of us at the picnic tables, and the area wasn't cleaned or rinsed down. I understand unexpected situations happen, and I'm not entirely sure what the proper response process is, but the smell and overall situation completely ruined my appetite. It did make me question how well the outdoor seating areas are maintained during busy times.

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
