    spicy garlic parm traditional wings
    Danielle M.

    I have been vacationing in Holden Beach since I was a kid, so when I recently went I had to try this restaurant. These are the BEST wings I have ever had. You can get them regular, crispy, or extra crispy. We got ours crispy and it had the perfect crunch to them! The sauces were amazing. The spicy garlic parm was my favorite, it even had Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. We got a side of the kickin' Carolina BBQ. To me, the sauces were not spicy at all. We got a heaping portion of fries as our side. We went around lunch time and got a table. When we left, they were PACKED and there were only two servers. We chose to sit inside since it was a little hot outside on the day we went. I will definitely be back next summer!

    Met Joe, the owner this afternoon. Tried and true Buffalo guy. Wonderful spot. Absolutely spot on wings. Felt incredibly taken care of and had a great conversation with Joe and Lauren. 1000% if you're looking for wings. Plus cauliflower wings and some other sides for anyone who can't partake in the wing party. Thank you Joe!

    We usually get the spicy garlic parm chicken wings. The margaritas are excellent. We also enjoy the music out on the patio on Wednesday nights. Services always friendly and fast. Yes we are regulars and plan to keep it that way.

    So it's really sad. I went there earlier today and had an amazing experience with the bartender…read moreAmanda. So my buddy and I came back tonight with the bartender name Marhria we were there for several hours. We met amazing people we met their puppy that was there and their cat. Was there name, Frankie. We hung out there for an hour and we met amazing people while we played pool. We The bartender pretended to be our friend when I left my bill was 328 fucking dollars. So let's get to Straight. I bought a few rounds for some people a few beers for some people but my friend and I only drank Coors light bye-bye and I had a few bullet bourbons. Can you fucking believe that their bullet bourbons were $30 apiece? The bartender totally ripped us off because we were not locals. Let me ask you a question. When have you ever been to a fucking dive bar with a charge $30 for a double bullet bourbon? My wife and I travel all over the country and we've even been to California and just never been more than $18 for a double of bourbon. This fucking place ripped us off and she laughed about it as we left . My bill was $328 for two guys to drink. There's no food included in that. Keep in mind we were there twice earlier during the day and the bartender Amanda did not rip us off. This other bartender fucked us so bad. I can't even imagine all the places I've been to with my wife even in California our bill was never $328. So when I confronted her, she laughed and she had her boyfriend a mix Hispanic black guy behind the bar who said well that's our price. Like are you fucking kidding me. Do not go there. I'm actually calling my attorney because I'm bringing them up on charges for ripping me the fuck off I don't mind paying for my drinks, I expected a $220 bill. I did not expect a $338 fucking bill. So needless to say if she was a human being and treat us good I would've given her the $90 tip but she wanted to stick it to us and play scumbag games. She got a $20 tip on $338. And we are not like that. Do not go to this bar I repeat do not go there. I can't say enough do not come here go to pelicans 2 miles down the road and they treat you so much better

    Get the Buddha! I'm sad that I didn't realize the front patio was the happening place. I came in…read morethe back and just hung out on the back patio the entire night. Good vibes and cheap beer!
