We came in for an early dinner and we were seated right away in one of the front rooms. We have…read morebeen seated in all different place here, but this section is nice and quiet. No through traffic of wait staff or customers. We ordered drinks and started off with small house salads. Salads are a good portion for smalls. However, we were just barely finishing salads, bread had just come out, then entrees. I guess we thought putting in orders together, food wouldn't come out so fast. Server took our salad plates and handed us our entrees. We both ordered shrimp scampi. So delicious but I took half to go. When food comes out too fast, I just can't finish. I will think to wait on ordering entrees. I really don't like food coming out one after the other. I understand the kitchen makes the food as it comes in, but the timing could have been better. Food and service is always good here. Wouldn't mind waiting a few extra minutes for meals so we don't feel rushed out.

Ok First time trying the location at Monkey Junction. Nice…read morelittle restaurant. Good size bar. They say is in another room each looks like they use for private dinners or overflow. Wish we were in the main room. Anyway, good size menu. Everything you need from chowder, fried platters, broiled dishes and non dish items too. We went with the basic fried platters. The flounder was good, hot and crispy. The fries basic. Cole slaw tasty. The hushpuppies were not good. Small, over cooked and dry. The food came out fast. The service was great. They had good dinner specials and bar specials too. I will be back. It's a good neighborhood restaurant. 3.5 stars. But sure it will be a four next visit.

But if you're looking for great food, local charm, and the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem, this may just be the best dive bar in Carolina Beach. We'll definitely be back!

A great place to eat!…read more Me and my parents came here for lunch as we heard it was highly rated. Getting there was a little tricky but that was the GPS' fault. It has a nice big parking lot and we were shocked that on a Thursday afternoon, it was packed. When we walked in, we were greeted nicely and seated at a booth. The booth was nice and spacious. The table was clean, silverware was mostly clean, and there was salt, pepper, and I believe paprika shakers already on the table. One thing that impressed me heavily, is that there was a napkin dispenser already on the table. I can't tell you how frustrating it is when you have to ask for more napkins at other restaurants, and your server is nowhere to be found, or when they bring you some, but it's not enough. This is huge for a food critic like myself and this should be the standard at all restaurants. Our server was nice. She was knowledgeable about the menu and honest about what was good and what wasn't as popular. The food was good! I got the swordfish tacos with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of baked mac and cheese. The baked mac and cheese was excellent (it's quite big! You may want to make that your only side or share it with someone). The garlic mashed was good too. The swordfish tacos were good, but would've liked a little more meat in there. Still, flavor was great. My parents both got lobster rolls which they liked and my dad got the crab chowder and he said it was fantastic. Their chowder's is what they are famous for; will try that when I go back. Server was attentive, brought us refills and did an overall great job. Food is reasonable priced too and it looked like the store manager checked up on us a few times which was nice as well. Overall a great seafood restaurant to eat at. I recommend going if you are in the area; would like to go back in the future!

I really wanted to enjoy this meal, but it was a mixed experience. Let's just say I've never had…read moreseafood chowder leave grit in my teeth before. The crab cake was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The crab dip was also very good. Unfortunately, the sweet tea tasted old, the corn wasn't fully cooked (though it had good flavor), and the mashed potatoes were so bland that I couldn't eat them. The biggest bright spot was the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and our server, Paige, was especially attentive, pleasant, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Her hospitality made the experience much better than the food alone would have. This version is candid without sounding harsh, and it gives meaningful credit to the staff, especially Paige.

It happened to be our server's first day on the job, and she could not have been more friendly or attentive. We tried several of the recommended dishes, and the crab dip was the best I've ever had! I also really enjoyed the gluten-free pasta. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciated how many gluten-free options they were able to accommodate. Everything we had was delicious, and we look forward to coming back again.
