We live nearby Whiskey Trail at Masonboro, so one evening we decided to walk over for dinner. We…read morewere able to grab a seat really quickly and were greeted by one of the bartenders right away. I ordered the Black & Blue Burger with sweet potato fries, and my husband ordered the Cowboy Burger with regular fries. Everything was fantastic! The burgers here are consistently delicious, and the fries are always great too. It's exactly the kind of satisfying, casual meal you want from a neighborhood spot. We absolutely love having Whiskey Trail so close to home--although honestly, that might be a little dangerous because it makes us want to walk over and eat there all the time! Definitely one of our favorite nearby places for a great burger.

There was also a large television on the patio but it was a little too chilly today. The atmosphere was also pleasant for those not interested in watching the game. Our server was friendly and took very good care of us. There were 4 of us and we sampled several menu items. All the food was served hot and exactly as we ordered. House salad very fresh. The bar is stocked well and the drinks were good. If I lived local I would be a regular, especially on game days. Wish my neighborhood had a place like this.

Menu items include burgers (beef, chicken or Beyond), tacos, sandwiches, salads, soups, flatbreads, and kid-friendly foods. You can change sandwiches to a wrap with a sun-dried tomato basil tortilla. Burgers and sandwiches usually come with kettle chips and tacos usually come with tortilla chips and fire roasted salsa, but you can pay an additional price for other sides, such as fries, onion rings, mac and cheese, slaw, side salad, chips and salsa. Desserts on the day I arrived were either chocolate cake or key lime pie. I ordered the Sweet Potato Totchos appetizer ($10), which were sweet potato tots with bite-sized pork belly, smothered in melted cheese and garnished with scallions. I ordered it to-go so the honey lime yogurt that is usually drizzled on the tots was put in a separate container. The appetizer definitely tasted a lot better with the honey lime yogurt. For the entree, I tried La's Meatloaf ($11) sandwich. The sandwich had slices of homestyle meatloaf with a sweet tomato herb sauce on grilled sourdough bread. It was good and very filling. I could only finish half of the sandwich. For the side, I changed the kettle chips to onion rings. The onion rings were your typical greasy onion rings and were fried well. Overall, the food was decent and reasonably priced.

This place is a great place to hang with friends. I've been here five times, twice on pride bar…read morecrawls. It is a cool bar that draws an eclectic crowd. They have a variety of seating options, including some group-friend booths. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer. Tony the bartender was very patient with my request for a flight of local beer with no IPAs or hoppy beers. He picked out: 2: Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush, 3. Waterline Kolsh, 4. Teaches Peaches, 1. Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst. I was familiar with the first three and loved them. I jokingly refer to Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush as creamsicle beer. It isn't too sweet, but the Orange flavor is quite strong. The Waterline Kolsh is light and very easy to drink. The Teaches Peaches is one of my favorites due to its light fruity flavor. The Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst was a wildcard in Tony's lineup. This sour was a refreshing way to mix up my beer tasting. My friend also got a flight and didn't like one of the beers he chose. Tony swapped it out for a different beer as soon as I told him and the new one was well-received. My favorite part of this visit was that Tony decided to bring me a sample of the 8. Firestone Walker Mind Haze, because it was a non-hoppy IPA and he thought I might like it. It wasn't my fave, but I really appreciated the opportunity to try something new. I snacked on free popcorn all during my visit. The popcorn machine is in the back. Also in the back are single-stall restrooms. Tavern Law has an A+ in my book because they have great local beer on tap and they are gay friendly.

Parking is limited right at the building, but there's ample street parking and nearby businesses that surely share spaces. Will definitely be back for their 1 year anniversary on Halloween!!

"Seafood and sports bar on main road in Carolina Beach"…read more Stopped here with a group of 5 on a Friday night in summer, drawn in by the signs about all-you-can-eat crab legs. We arrived at 6pm, and waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. When asked if we wanted indoor or outdoor, we said either was fine as long as not full-sun (some tables were full-sun). Sadly, we were placed at one of the full-sun tables initially. Luckily, when we fussed a bit, they got us a table inside. The restaurant is quite large, with a truly indoor area as well as mostly covered outdoor ones-- we were fortunate to get a truly indoor one, since it was quite hot. The menu was a bit eclectic-- seafood dishes, sandwiches, chicken, and burgers, and lots of drinks. I opted for the fish tacos, since that was reasonably priced-- something like $12-15. The AYCE crab legs were $59-- no thanks! I added a side-salad and also got a fried pickle appetizer for the table. It was a Friday night and busy, but I will say service was SLOW and frankly not great. Took us maybe 15 minutes to get asked what we'd like to order. The fried pickles came almost 30 minutes later. And the meal maybe another 15-20 minutes after that. Our server also seemed almost "put off" whenever we asked for anything, too... like basic flatware after our food arrived. He wasn't great with questions either. Though he did check on us a couple of times. Food was pretty good. The fish tacos were tasty, though one person noted that they were rather minimally seasoned and could have been really great with more. The fried dishes were "fine". One thing to note is the portions are HUGE for many dishes-- one of us got the captain's basket or something, and he's a big eater, but this was way more than he could finish. Similarly, one of us who got the chicken tender platter noted it was really, really big. On the one hand, that's good, but on the other, you're also paying the extra price since the prices were also proportionately higher. The fish tacos were a good compromise-- basically the right amount of food for one person and a decent price. The bathroom was not especially clean-- the soap dispenser was broken and on the side, and it looked like the space hadn't been serviced. The doors to the restrooms were also sticky such that they'd sometimes be left propped open. Overall, I'd say this place was OK but definitely could have been better. I liked my food fine, but the service was definitely underwhelming. One exception-- the lady working the bar was very helpful. There are a lot of GREAT restaurants in Carolina Beach, so this one doesn't do great by comparison.

One Star - Apparently, We Interrupted a Bad Day…read more We walked into the Lazy Pirate, said hello, and asked our bartender how she was doing. Her response? "Um, you don't want to ask me that today. What do you want to drink?" Well, excuse us for being friendly! I ordered a Miami Vice, which was apparently a tremendous inconvenience. After a dramatic sigh, she informed me it might still be too watery but that she would check. Spoiler alert: It was watery. Very watery. Apparently, the frozen part of a frozen cocktail was optional. My husband ordered a beer, which arrived warm. So, between my melted Miami Vice and his warm beer, we really hit the beverage jackpot! We paid, left, and won't be returning. We understand everyone has a bad day, but when your customers are friendlier than your bartender, something is wrong. One star for the drinks. Zero stars for the attitude. ‍

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.
