We had the opportunity to eat at Bear Walrus in person and it was the best bbq I'd ever had. I always try the turkey at every bbq place as sort of a litmus test. If the turkey is tender & juicy, it usually means they know what they're doing. That first time I wished I had more hands to give more thumbs up. Fast forward to last month. We ordered food to go. I got the turkey again and it was inedible. In the trash it went.The sides were still delicious. The greens and the Mac n cheese were so good. I figured maybe they had a bad night. This evening, once again, ordered the turkey and wow, it was wayyyyy over-peppered, completely dry, basically it was cardboard. Horrible. So decided to write this review in hopes they will reverse course.

That's a good sign to say the least. I ordered a chicken tender combo meal to try this place out since everything's good ! I got it hot with fries and a drink. The chicken was great with the homemade ranch dressing. It had just enough heat and yet still great flavor. I took my last chicken finer to my son and it was at the peak of his heat tolerance but he still really enjoyed it. Next time I want to try the seafood. Only downside is the deep fryer smell that lingered in my clothes after being in the restaurant. I think next time I will call ahead and limit my time on the restaurant. With that said, everyone was very friendly from the staff to the customers. Helen's know how to fry up some goodness. O

The beer on tap was all good, local brews, and just happened to be $5 per draft on Thursdays! I got the original burger, because it was national burger day.

This was not mentioned on the menu or anywhere else. Had I known, I would have requested them to come without it.

Since moving to the Carolina's from up North I wasn't sure what to expect. I've have both dined in as well as carry out and the experience is always pleasant. I've had a few things from the menu but my favorite is the oxtail roti; It's a bit costly but well worth it as the meat is super tender, flavorful and the roti is pack full of meat. I also love the rice/ peas with the brown gravy and drinks are always phenomenal I've learned depending on the time of day you may be waiting for a bit but it's well worth it as everything is fresh, hot and made to order. The service/staff very friendly and helpful when it comes to ordering. The ambiance is upbeat, very clean and vibrant I wish I got a picture of my meal but somehow never makes it because it's that delicious

The cashier was sweet and personable. She was multitasking, but still managed to be fully engaged in the service she provided to us. She kindly let us know what items were sold out for the day and also gave us time to look over the menu and decide on our order without making us feel rushed. While we waited for our food to arrive, we noticed a steady flow of customers all the way until closing time! It's clear Island Grill & Pub is a local favorite. The food is packaged up to go, but there are plenty of tables to dine-in once you have your food...and a big screen with movies and Jamaican music playing in the background to keep you entertained. The wait for the food is a bit long...but EVERYTHING came out very fresh, very authentic, and worth the wait. The portions were plentiful, the food was flavorful and seasoned well, and the items were priced well for the value. What we ordered: - Small Jerk Chicken plate with rice & peas and cabbage - Jerk Chicken pasta - Side order of Macaroni and cheese We wish we lived closer, so we could visit Island Grill & Pub regularly, but it's definitely on our list any time we travel to the Rock Hill area!

They have planes now that can deliver super fresh seafood. Just sayin. City island was famous fir their seafood restaurants and fried fish shacks. I had a craving for some fried shrimp. I found Pier 51 and saw that the had something I hadn't seen since I moved here......Sea Scallops. I ordered a combo of fried jumbo shrimp and fried sea scallops. All I can say is YUM! Reminded me of home. Perfectly fried scallops are hard to find. This restaurant just gets it and the scallops were sheer perfection. The tarter sauce was fresh and tasty and the baked potato (which I ordered fully loaded but just got a plain one) hit the spot. I think the portions are huge for the price and I have been back two more times since my first visit. They don't have a bar where you can have a cocktail whilst waiting for your food but who cares because you call ahead and pick up at the drive thru. Highly recommend.

You order at the counter and either take it with you, or eat in their nautical-themed dark dining room that looks like it hasn't been touched since 1981. I had my dog in the car, so I got my order to go. The chicken really is good. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The fries are excellent. The coleslaw was fine. Obviously a purchased item ... they certainly didn't make it. Reminded me of KFC's coleslaw. I got a 2 piece combo (one breast & one leg for about $9.60) The service was great. The ladies at the counter were very friendly. I also got a chocolate chip cookie. It was nothing special... but it was only 75 cents so ... I'd definitely try this place again.
