After hearing recommendation after recommendation, I made my first stop at Island Burgers & Bites…read morein Carolina Beach. I even walked over a mile to get there... so if this burger was bad, I was going to have a very long, disappointing walk back. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem. I ordered the double cheeseburger Carolina-style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. A Carolina-style burger... in Carolina Beach. It just felt right. First of all, this thing was HUGE. The beef was incredibly well seasoned with those crisp, lacy edges. The chili had just enough sweetness, the mustard brought the perfect tang, and the onions added that fresh crunch. Then there's the toasted potato bun--still the undisputed champion of burger buns--and the perfectly melted cheese holding this glorious mess together. What makes this place even cooler is that it started in a gas station back in 2017. Now it's one of the most talked-about burger spots around. It's considered by many to be the third best burger in North Carolina and after one bite, I completely understand why. Sometimes the best food comes from the places you'd least expect. Despite being busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept things moving without missing a beat. Final score: 9.8/10. This officially takes the #1 spot on the Ev's Eats Best Burger List... for now. Every burger from here on out has a new standard to chase. #CarolinaBeach #IslandBurgersAndBites #NorthCarolinaEats #NCEats NCFood

I looked at his website and you can tell the sub looks nothing like the picture. For $12 it was a very large but dry sub. The cheese was melted on the bottom of the bread, there was no juice from the meat, no onions (which I thought always came with a css) and there were a lot of bell peppers. I had to go buy a coke to get the sandwich down. I could not find this business on Yelp. I guess because it is a food truck and there is no physical store.

The wait around 6 on a Sunday night really wasn't too bad, I think about 30 minutes, for 3 pizzas and 2 orders of wings. We got (3) large (18") pizzas, one cheese, one meat lovers and one peperoni, and then (2) orders of their buffalo wings. The food was ready when we got there, and overall, was pretty good. The crust was a bit doughy, and and real flavorful on it's own, but as far as toppings, they loaded it up, and with the sauce, toppings and cheese, it was decent pizza for the price. The wings were also decent, a fair split of drums and flats, and a good flavor to the buffalo sauce. There was more than enough food for 7 adults, and even some left over to snack on for the remaining days. Pricing was fair, staff friendly on the phone and when we picked up. I'd go back.

It has a very nice pizza parlor, atmosphere and ambience and you would have an enjoyable time hanging out with friends, eating quality food.

But when we arrived at the house, one of the rental workers was still there, and I asked him which pizza place he would recommend, without sharing my list.

I ordered a lot of pizza, and even though we didn't finish it on Friday night, the rest disappeared on Saturday for lunch. It's good Pizza, and I thought it was reasonably priced. The restaurant itself didn't seem like anything fancy, but it's perfect for carry-out. Would definitely do it again on future trips to Emerald Isle.
