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!

I chose wine for my meal and was pleasantly surprised to see a Vino Verde. Definitely recommend this place for your next vacation.

This was the perfect place to eat when we didn't want seafood AGAIN and we were ready for lunch…read more We parked the car with the intention of eating at a different place, but we looked across the street and hubby and I must have been on the same wavelength because we both suggested a change in plans at the same time and said, "how about Mexican?" It was a good decision. Service was excellent. The chips were perfect - hot, crispy, thin and fresh. Their salsa is exactly how I like it - savory, just a little spicy, tomatoey-fresh, and with just the right texture. We were off to a rip roaringly good start. In a completely out of character move, I skipped my preference for authentic Mexican food like carnitas and instead ordered the taquito combo. Hubby opted for the 1/2 chimichanga and the kids split a kids meal of enchilada and cheese quesadilla. My taquitos were surprisingly crispy and not at all greasy. The shredded lettuce with pico de gallo and guacamole was fresh and tasty. The rice was rice - and my kids couldn't get enough of it. Hubby's chimichanga was voted "really good" by the hubby. His refried beans were tasty, too. My only disappointment was with the kid's meal. It was a bland quesadilla and a small enchelada. There were no sides - I would have liked them to also get a little beans or rice or salad or something. For a drink I ordered their homemade horchata. It was very good and only cost about $2 for a large glass. You could even see the little bits of cinnamon in the bottom of the glass. They also have a homemade jamaica (hibiscus) drink that I assume would be just a good. We liked the place enough that we stopped back on Tuesday night for $2.99 margaritas and to buy the kids a fried ice cream. My daughter was amazed that the ice cream had actually been fried without melting. For about $4 the dessert was HUGE with a fried flour tortilla, a very large ball of fried ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. It was enough for all four of us to share. Our margaritas were also good. Much more potent than I expected for the special price. Only drawback is that it had to be on the rocks and I like a frozen Margarita. But at $3 for 16 ounces who's to complain. :)

Ordered calamari that was yummy with a delicious Thai sauce.

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!!!

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.
