This was our second choice for dinner, but it proved to be the right choice. The food was great. The service could have been better, but the server was on her own for the first time. She was doing well, but she really needed help. The owner or manger did come in to help. The restaurant is small and our group of 6 had to split between 2 tables. We were completely fine with that. They do have a window on the outside to order walk up to eat outside or to go. I do wish they sold their shirts...I really wanted one for my husband! read more

Such a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat, we enjoyed the hotdog platter with French fries and an added side of homemade onion rings that were delicious. Everything was fresh, the daily menu included chicken pot pie and for dessert there was banana pudding. Aside from the menu, the highlight of our meal was our attentive and friendly server. We can't wait to return to this place read more

We stayed across the street from the July 4th week, their food is delicious and their staff are super friendly. They helped with a family members food allergy(gluten). Delicious! read more

After driving by and giggling at "Butts n Such" we stopped for dinner last night. It was delicious! I ordered a friend shrimp sandwich with coleslaw and onion rings. My son got the bbq plate with Mac and cheese, potato salad and hush puppies. We both had sweet tea that was perfect! Not too sweet and not too strong. Everything was made fresh, on-site and so good! The servers were a riot, we really enjoyed talking to them. We chatted with some other customers inside. It was a super fun environment. We for sure will be back. read more

Really yummy home style cooking. We absolutely loved it. Came here several times, and each time it was fantastic. I'm especially a big fan of their fries, and Mac n cheese. Service was always friendly and quick as well. Definitely check out if you are in Carolina beach/Wilmington area! read more

Bbq was fine. Moldy buns unacceptable. Cmon. Disgusting- We r out..................................................

Restaurant could use a little better cleaning practice (table was dirty with crumbs and water rings from previous drinks) and the food was less than mediocre. BBQ was the best thing and it was just okay, The sides were some of the worst I have had. I'm not sure how you can mess up fried okra but it is pretty much a standard and pretty easy to make. The service was decent with no real complaints but it was overshadowed but the low quality of the food. I would not recommend this restaurant. (and there are much better on the island) read more

Excellent chopped bbq, very friendly service with a smile and plenty of suggestions. Did take out for later that evening and hush puppies were excellent read more

Food was amazing however the portions are a little smaller than normal. Their fried Mac n cheese bites are outstanding! Their shrimp platter is delicious, however not a big portion. read more

Good Breakfast! The waitress was super attentive and kind, the vibe was super friendly and homey

The food here is quite good. I'd highly recommend the hush puppies, and then BBQ pork was also quite good. Unfortunately, the service was atrocious. My husband and I planned to eat an an outside table. We ordered at the counter and told the girl taking our order that we'd be sitting just outside the window. When she called our name to let us know the food was ready, the food was packed in a to-go bag with no plates. Not a big deal. We looked inside the bag and there was no BBQ sauce of any sort, and the pork did not have sauce on it. My husband went inside and was going to take one of the little condiment holders outside, but he was told he was not able to. He then asked if we could have some BBQ sauce and plates. The woman told him they did not have plates (yes, really, despite all of the people inside eating on plates), and then handed him several containers of BBQ sauce. This was all done with a super rude attitude by the teenage girl working behind the counter. We took the bag of food and left, and we certainly won't be returning. read more

BBQ was great. Everything else was meh!! Fried Okra- how do you mess that up Grilled cheese - it's cheese and bread - how can u mess up Fries - how do you mess that up read more

Small little spot. No complaints on the food. They serve in styrofoam and the portions are large so it can make for some awkward eating depending on what you have. The biscuits are large and soft. Eggs cooked perfectly (over medium) Bacon was crip. Coffee was hot They open at 7am, so early risers can get in before crowds. Place was packed with sitters and walk ip window orders read more

Cute newer spot that does breakfast and bbq! There's a little window for takeout/walk up orders but I will say it's not the fastest and you end up waiting outside in the sun for the order. If you don't sit inside, I'd probably do a call in order. Got the biscuits and gravy for breakfast and it was good! Didn't come w anything else like I thought, but filling anyways. Definitely want to come back for their lunch/dinner! read more

Overall a nice local bbq spot. It is very small inside, so it's hard to accommodate large groups, but I don't hold that against them. The food was out to us very quick and everything was correct and hot. The bbq was good and so were the hushpuppies and sweet potato fries. I got the bbq and 1/4 dark chicken and was disappointed to see my portion of bbq was probably 1/4 what the rest of my group received that ordered the chopped bbq. I assumed it was a combo platter since it was more expensive, not a 50/50 deal. The fried chicken was a real letdown, which is why I took off 1 star. It lacked any flavor or spices to it. It was cooked well and crispy though, just bland. Everything else was pretty good and priced decent. Also, they don't charge you a credit card fee, and they have their own parking lot. After being here a week I realize that's a special detail to mention! I hated paying for parking when a restaurant was attached to a public lot! read more

Amazing spot, service was great and the food even better! We came a couple times on our vacation and ending up trying fried chicken, flounder, and bbq. All amazing read more

Great spot to order some breakfast. You can order at the window and eat outside or they offer indoor dining. I had the veggie n cheese omelet with hash browns and toast. It was huge! My husband had the hogwash omelet. Both were good! read more

Got some local advice to order here for our family (15) vacation . Everything was better than expected, especially the friendly service, helping us order the right quantities of everything. BBQ, beans, slaw, and sauces pleased us all from ages 4 to 78. Definitely a "must do" at Carolina Beach! read more

Butts n Such - After dinner game time - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

As stated on their Facebook page, "Home-cooked food at a reasonable price" was far from what my experience was at this establishment. The one thing that I could speak nicely about is the customer service. They were fast with getting my drink, taking my order and bringing out the food, although it wasn't busy. The young lady was very kind and did her job wonderfully. As for whoever makes the food... I just want to know what their definition of home-cooked is... The Mac-n-cheese tasted just like Stouffers, which I'm convinced is exactly what they gave me. The coleslaw had no flavor and the mashed potatoes with gravy were ok but nothing to call home about. I got the ribs as my main and they were slightly dry and flavorless. For a $16 plate, I expected more since around here you can get quality food for less at a real BBQ place. DO NOT get the mozzerela sticks as an appetizer! For $6.99 you get five small sticks that probably came frozen from Foodlion and reheated in the microwave. The sauce that came with it was also not homemade, but in an aluminum sealed cup. The color was more on the brown side and, when looking for an expiration date, I couldn't find it. Did not taste right. It was extremely quiet inside and there was nothing to complement about the ambiance. I don't want to dine at a loud place, but you could drop a thumbtack and hear it crystal clear. I had higher expectations and regret not reading the reviews before going in. It was a waste of money and a laughable experience. read more

2 years later and did the ribs special again! Ribs were different, more St. Louis style but great rub and fall off the bone. Green beans, fried okra, and Cole slaw were the best sides and always enjoy hush puppies! read more

We went here because the other breakfast places had long waits and I'm glad we did! The food tasted so good. I got a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and my husband got an omelette. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The waitresses were so kind and friendly. Would definitely come back here for breakfast. read more

Was in NC for a weekend trip & wanted some Carolina BBQ. Stopped here driving around. Great little spot, great service, reasonable prices. Very nice people, would stop again if we're in the area. read more

Food is ridiculously expensive and came out cold and soggy, but the biggest issue is the blond that works the counter. Never seen someone so annoyed to have a customer. Also, Don't even think about asking for sauce to go with your bbq, or you'll an eye roll and a huff to go with it. read more

I have no idea where all these 5 star reviews are coming from. Im convinced they have been paid to leave a 5 star review because the food was extremely bland and tasteless. Probably the most tasteless and bland food I have ever laid my tastebuds on, not even an exaggeration. read more

We wanted takeout for lunch with friends while in CB... this was a perfect choice! We ordered two of the family style pork bbq meals with mashed potatoes and hush puppies. Everything tasted wonderful. And it was a great deal. Plus, the service was super fast and friendly. Thank you! read more

Cute bbq spot. Outdoor window for to go orders but also tables inside if you want to eat in. Lots of food options to choose from. Woman working the window was friendly and food came up pretty quickly. The food tho was the issue. I ordered a cheeseburger. She asked how I'd like it cooked and gave me the options of medium, medium well or well. I said medium. It always makes me laugh when they ask a temp but the burger comes out well done anyway, as it did here. It was over cooked to the point of being a bit dry. The toppings I got were ketchup, mustard, onion and coleslaw. The ketchup and mustard were not very prominent and may have not even been on there. Idk. I'm not looking for them to be oozing out of the bun but I'd like to taste them. The other toppings were very light too. The flavor of the burger was ok but with how dry it was it was hard to pay attention to anything else. I also got sweet potato fries which were very bland. They didn't put any salt or seasoning on them and they were undercooked so they didn't even have that nice crunch or natural caramelization that you can get with sweet potato fries. Instead they were limp and boring. My husband only wanted a side of macaroni and cheese. He said it was good. It looked nice and cheesy. I didn't try it tho so can't speak about it. Maybe the bbq is the way to go here and not the burgers. I'm not sure. I'd try this spot again but would try a different menu item read more

Butts n Such - This was supposed to be medium but as you can see it's cooked all the way through - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Service is great, almost too much with how often they asked me how my food was the whole time eating. Best thing here is the hush puppies. Everything is lacking seasoning. I wouldn't come again or recommend it to anyone. It's very basic and nothing seems fresh when it's directly across from the ocean. Shrimp seems like it's frozen. Just my personal opinion from what I ordered. read more

The staff and cooks at this place are amazing to say the least! Food arrived quickly and hot! Chicken was crispy and juicy but the hush puppies stole show! read more

This place hit the spot. I came with my wife and another couple during our day trip to the area. It is definitely off season and an overcast, windy day so there are not very many people around. It appears several locals came by to eat lunch here. I had their hot dogs. Great value and the taste was FANTASTIC!!! My tongue and tummy were happy. Everyone in the group loved their choices, too: flounder, burger and grilled shrimp. The new zucchini dish was fabulous; grilled or fried. Finally, the staff was engaging and fun. My only regret is that I won't be in the area longer where I can eat here again and try something else on the menu. read more

Butts n Such - a pig with flowers on its head - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

We were in CB and hungry for lunch. We'd heard good things about this spot so we decided to give it a try. Come to find out it used to be another BBQ place and has new owners and a new name. We ordered a bbq plate and a shrimp plate to share. I loved the pulled pork (w/ Carolina-style sauce), and hush puppies. I thought the shrimp was fine but nothing to write home about. The employees were super friendly & the prices were pretty fair for being a spot that I'm sure sees a lot of traffic during the peak vacation months. read more

Food is Basic/Bland! - Not flavorful @ All! Yng man at window was pleasant. Yng lady passing him added the comment that the greens were made as God intended. W/ meat fat. But they Still didn't have any taste..... Sweet Baby Rays on the side. Of any BBQ! Mac & Cheese Sauce. No cheese in Site. Pasta over cooked. Sat outside with a Breeze! Sweet tea was the best thing. read more

A&G was a south CB staple but the new version is a great member of the family. Super friendly staff, almost the same menu plus a few new items and specials. BBQ is solid though you might want to still add your own sauce depending upon your preference and BBQ history. Onion rings are still Awesome. read more

After reading the reviews, I expected much more for this place. The staff was all very friendly and sweet and accommodating to our kids. The hushpuppies were good, they come with a packaged honey butter and the kids loved them. Other sides are, in my opinion, what you'd expect and could make at home (fried okra, green beans, fries, collards) and the actual BBQ was dry and their sauce was very vinegary. The sweet tea is SWEET so if you like that, you're in the right place. This restaurant is definitely a home style cooking restaurant. It's cheap and edible but I wouldn't rave about it to anyone, personally. read more

Me and a group of friends on a trip found this place, and we are very glad we did! The place was small but we were able to fit in a table, the people at the front were very nice and welcoming and the food was a good price and was great, I will definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Carolina beach. read more

Breakfast sandwich was GREAT, honestly up there with Southerly's. Haven't tried the BBQ but hopeful.

A super cute little place with about 10 tables and some outdoor ones that has a down home flavor!!! The pork chop biscuit is a must for breakfast. Two people were super friendly attentive even at their busy times! If you like sweet tea ..... this is the place to be. Definitely going to try lunch read more

Out of this world delicious. The hospitality was some of the best we've had. They were attentive and the food was out of this world. The ranch dressing was one of the best I've had. The fried chicken- crispy, well seasoned, and super moist. It was very clean. We weren't sure what to expect as it looks like an ice cream stand. But inside there are 8-10 tables and several tables outside. Great for kids. read more

This is a great place to get a quick meal and fuel up before the beach. They had lots of great options and decent prices. They had indoor or outdoor seating.

The second season of this restaurant, which took over a beloved CB institution, is showing fatigue. While the staff is friendly, the management is oblivious to customer service. The food is mediocre at best. Pulled pork doesn't hold a candle to the previous establishment. When a family drops 50-60 bucks on lunch, one expects a bit more. The homestyle food of the previous establishment is now just canned food opened and heated. The location provides the crowds but that will not always be the case with the serviced & food quality I experienced this month. Thumbs down all around. read more
