This is the food option at Carolina Golf Club in Grandy, NC…read more I had a 730a tee time and asked the Starter if they would be serving food by the time we made the turn. He said yes, they will be open and lots of food options. Sure enough, when we made the turn at 930a, they were open. The staff was very friendly and said their hot dogs are pre-wrapped and hot. Get it to go and make the turn to maintain your pace of play. They had all the condiments right there, plus fresh cole slaw, chili and pickle relish. It was better than most other hot dogs I've had at much nicer golf courses.

We had a Sunday lunch at BJ's Carolina Cafe while vacationing in the area. Only a few tables were…read moreoccupied when we arrived at 11:30, but the after-church crowd arrived shortly thereafter and by the time we left, there was a short line waiting for a table. The food was an OK. My pulled pork had a smoky taste but was definitely dry. In a state known for pork BBQ, this was average at best. The slaw, however, tasted very fresh and was not mayonnaisey ; I liked it. The hand-cut fries were OK, but would have been excellent if they had been hot. My dining companion's burger was cooked as requested and she thought it was very good. Service was OK, but definitely not overly attentive. Compared to prices down the road in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, the restaurant is a good value. Based on our experience, BJ's Carolina Cafe mainly caters to a local crowd. All in all, it's fine, especially if it's nearby or on your way to/from Outer Banks.

The Chicago Bear presence there with some of the Ditka, etc memorabilia was pretty nice. The location was a hidden gem and the outdoor area on the water is very nice. The live music really set the beach atmosphere. It's definitely has the beach bar feel. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced and good. I definitely recommend it.

Great hidden spot along the main road toward OBX! (Turn at the Hardee's/Royal Farms and keep on…read moregoin' to the end of the road.) It's definitely a local divey hideaway, with tons of cool and eclectic rural backwoods decor. GREAT FOOD. The boom boom shrimp sauce was really good, and the mushrooms had an unusual-looking, yet fantastic, coating and fry! Huge portion of those huge shrooms, as the photo shows. The 1 lb. portion of Steamed Shrimp was also huge! I guess I didn't realize how large the shrimp would be, and there are 15-20 in that bucket. They DO go very heavy on the Old Bay! I turned over the top shrimp so it wouldn't be so visible in the photo. Our awesome server Karen told us it would be that way, and next time I'll ask for light-to-no seasoning, because it really was very heavy (and therefore, salty). But still excellent! I never leave seafood on the plate, but there was just too much for me to finish. Google before you visit, because I understand the hours can vary. But worth the trip if you're looking for downhome rural waterside! Hubby and stepson have already been back several times on their Harleys, both for lunch and dinner. They love the hometown "Cheers" feel of the bar.

I don't necessarily blame the restaurant for that since people are constantly coming and going through both the front door and patio, but it did affect the experience. We didn't try the beer wall this time. We came primarily for the food, and I'm glad we did. We both ordered the Angry Chicken sandwich, and it was fantastic. It had great flavor, a good level of spice, and was absolutely massive. For $19, though, it better be big! Honestly, I almost wish they offered a smaller version with just one chicken patty at a lower price. The sandwich has so many great elements, but it's almost too much food. I'd happily order a smaller version. Our server was friendly, but he was clearly spread pretty thin. It took a while to get drink refills and our check. Overall, there were a few things that could have been better, but I'd definitely come back for that chicken sandwich.

The menu definitely lets you know that the chef is thoughtful about each component to every dish…read more There are sweet elements tied to savory elements and enough heat or acidity to address the different proteins. I really enjoyed each of the dish and all the beers that are on a tap is the highlight of the restaurant. There are two long tables in the middle for larger groups. The seats are surrounded by TVs and a great spot for the family. The second shift breakfast burger is delicious! The Pork belly BLT is also more refined and will please finer palates. The crispy apple jack chicken has all the ingredients for a delicious sandwich. But I would replace the 3 chicken tenders for a large chunk of chicken breast. That would make the sandwich perfect. If you're looking for a great restaurant for the family during your vacation... take a ride and check it out!

I was so full from the first patty, I can't believe I asked hubby to help me eat off some of the second patty (I'm territorial with my crab cakes)! The fingerling potatoes are cooked in the juices of the crab cakes oil so it got a ton of flavors too and I'm so happy with the generous amount of asparagus served with it. The calamari fries app are your typical ones. The fried shrimp was fresh, juicy and tasty, went well with our toddler's macncheese. The grouper that made up the fish taco was fresh, however, as a dish the fish tacos was underwhelming. $13 specialty cocktails is a good price. Overall I'm happy with this place.
