The restaurant was very clean, the food came out hot, and the drinks were nice and cold. I had the boneless tenders with the Texas Pete honey drizzle, and they were excellent. The fried shrimp and mozzarella sticks were really good too. Portions were a little small for me, but the quality and flavor made up for it. Loved the laid-back beach vibe and family-friendly atmosphere. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by!

"Delightful seafood, entertainment, and more in Carolina Beach"…read more Stopped by here on a holiday Saturday night at just after 6pm, party of 2. Amazingly, we were able to get a table right away. The place is mostly "open air" with two covered areas and a few spots in the sun. A few folks had dogs there, too. They also have little spinny things on the table to keep flies away (apparently called "fly fans"). Note, enter on the beach-side, not the other side, to meet the host. There's also a stage inside for entertainment (which started later than we were there, but the band was setting up). We ordered the ahi tuna nachos, and I got a crabcake sandwich. My partner got black pearl salad. Food came out in under 20 minutes, which was impressive given the place was HOPPING. The ahi tuna nachos were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. They had bits of mango, a delicious sauce, really good nachos (made from wonton wrappers), and the tuna was amazing (served rare). It was about $20, but a very large helping. This would make a great meal for one person eating that alone. The crabcake was fine-- nothing unusual but tasty. I may not order that again, but it was good. My dining partner said the black pearl salad was really good and liked the blackberries, feta, and walnuts in it as well as the vinaigrette. Our drinks got refilled, and plates were taken away quickly when we finished any part of the meal. Our server was really nice, too. Overall, I would happily go back, and DEFINITELY want that ahi tuna nachos dish again. I recommend-- very good.

We waited 10 minutes to be greeted once we sat down but that's because the hostess didn't let the waitress know we were there. There was no wait to be seated because we called ahead and got out on the list. Our waitress was so nice and checked on us regularly and the food was great! I got the all you can eat crab legs and they were cooked perfectly and there was no delay with more. Just wish they had those tiny forks to help get the crab meat out. Women's bathroom was clean. Live band was playing which gave it an extra beachy feel. There was something questionable on the tv (not appropriate for kids), but I'm not sure if that's the restaurants fault really. Overall good experience and hope to return!

Kids and teenagers were going back and forth with ease, so very convenient for large families or groups if your kids are old enough to venture off on their own. The food itself was mostly bland and overcooked. My burger was very well done, almost rubbery even though I asked for a medium temp. My wife's fried fish tacos were also over cooked. Fries were a bit soggy, but still tasty. There's a variety of options so it can feed a large family with different tastes. Best thing on the menu for me personally was the Tropical Lightning IPA on tap. One of my favorite NC IPAs, and I've never seen it on tap anywhere else. With so many options in the area, we're probably one and done here.

We were quick to notice that mimosas were on special for just three dollars. They were basically goblets of mimosa and they had four flavors to choose from. I went with the strawberry and also got to try the pineapple. Absolutely delicious! The all-American breakfast was nice. I liked the great big pancake. The potatoes were kind of simple, but we're cooked all the way. Also, I asked for my bacon to be crispy and they definitely delivered on that. Service was friendly, but not super attentive. We were only checked on at the beginning for drinks, when they brought out our food, and then we ended up waiting a bit to get the check. We would've ordered more mimosas, but I think they may have been slightly understaffed. There are definitely better brunch options in Wilmington, but this place had no wait on a busy weekend and I was happy with the food. If you are a brunch person, this place delivers in terms of being really big with lots of seating and having a lot of brunch menu items.
