MacDaddy's was such a good time ! If you know me, I love karaoke, arcades and entertainment centers. I'm a 80's baby and 90's kid to the core. Cape Carteret is an adorable beach town 30 minutes from Jacksonville. A smooth drive on 24. The staff was excellent and this place has a little bit of something for everyone. I visited with my daughter who is 11 and my mom whose almost 70. My daughter and I enjoyed the arcade games and go karts, my mother and I really loved karaoke night. We arrived around 730 and stayed until 9:45. All the arcade games were new and worked. We always enjoy kung fu panda and basketball. My daughter took home some goodies as prizes. The staff at the Go Karts were patient, kind and respectful. We stayed late and had the whole go kart course to ourselves. My daughter is new to go karts so this was great. We had a blast. My mom and I spent time at the Sports Grill enjoying Tuesday's karaoke night and a few beers. Always ask for what the specials of the day are. Karaoke happens every Tuesday 6-9 pm with Taco Tuesday and $4 Modelo beer. There was a lot of talent in the building and a wide range of age groups and nationalities. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. My daughter enjoyed the sports grill eats. She ordered a shrimp burger, onions rings and my mom and I had the $4 model bottle special. Service was excellent and the quality of the food was good for the price. This place features bowling, arcade, billiards, go karts and an obstacle course. So much here for all ages to enjoy. I can't wait to return to the Mac :: 90's song reference;)

Arcade Game

I love Mac Daddy's. The arcade has so many games to choose from you'll never get bored. My favorite arcade game of all time is the Jurassic Park game. I'm so happy that Mac Daddy's has it! Mini golf is fun too! The course feels pretty long but in a good way! I felt like we definitely got our moneys worth! I love that there is a place that has so many fun, family friendly options in one location! Can't wait to come bowling sometime soon!

Barbecue ribs, french fries, and macaroni and cheese

We went and spent the day lots of games and things for family and children to do you can ride the race cars .bowl , a wonderful restaurant. The waitress was very nice taking our order. I give the food a B- but overall I give the place An A arcades and buy your car does cost you a dollar is refillable and you can play as long as you want, and we will be back stop by the restaurant

We had an amazing time here. My band was playing their labor day show. But we got food and drinks, and they were delicious. The atmosphere there was also really laid back. It is like a Dave and busters with go-carts, a driving range and some musicians coming through. Their food is solid and reasonably priced...and the staff is very nice...Check it out!!

We are on Emerald Isle for the Thanksgiving holiday week, holiday food (Turkey, ham, etc.) we sorry to go out for bowling and burgers. A high energy with video games for the kids, and a bar and restaurant (beer and wine) for the adults. The building we enjoyed the burgers,fried chicken platters-fried chicken tenders platter,bbq ribs and Texas BLT , The dishes are pretty good. Good service. Hello it's cold beer and wine.. we enjoyed our evening and had a great time

No sauce means no sauce. Not just a little.

Asked for my sandwich with no sauce. The manager at the bar was rude about it and said it's not buffalo sauce and would not make it right. Poor service. Rude manager.

Oookay they've got a bowling alley, they've got arcades and games, pool tables, they've got batting cage, a putt putt course, a obstacle course in the back and go karts. There is also a snack bar, a bar where they serve beer and a little restaurant with food other than pizza. I think I've named them all. It's a really fun place to bring family and friends. There are party rooms here too so you can host birthdays and such. If you don't mind crowds (it gets a little crowded where all the games are) then you will enjoy the place.

See all

Ask the Community - Mac Daddy's

Can you bring outside food? For example, a small birthday cake without having to make an actual birthday reservation?

Hi Jordan, Food consumed in Mac Daddy's needs to be purchased at Mac Daddy's. However, we do allow birthday cakes! :) All we ask is that enjoy your cake at one of our tables and not at the lanes. Thank you! Hope to see you soon. :)

Heard about this place and been trying to get here. Finally, found some friends to join me. We sat…read moreoutside because the weather was perfect and they had a live two piece band. Waitress was very sweet and running her tush off. We got there about 6pm on a Friday night and before we left it was hopping. The food was very good. I had Southwestern Eggrolls and will not have to drive to Jville anymore when I get that craving. The only difference was it came with a chipotle ranch instead of an avocado ranch. My friend had a salad (good size) along with the the Dirty Chicken. She felt like it had a "kick" to it but I tried a bit and didn't think so. She could not eat it all. Nice size serving. She also shared the mozzarella sticks. I didn't try them but she said they were good. They looked like the frozen kind out of the box, so not for me. My other friend had the smash burger that we thought were sliders, but are not. It is a hamburger with two 3oz patties with the fixins. My friend enjoyed it and I believe it came with fries. She also tried the Zucchini fries and ate them all. I personally was not crazy about them but to each his own. A two piece band was playing and they were very good. Oh, I found out just before we left that they carry Bud Zero. Nice surprise. Sitting outdoors was perfect. They put a little fly spinner on your table and no bugs. The bathroom was very clean. Since this appears to be the first post for them I will have to post pictures later. Sept. 20, 2024

Food and environment is amazing! Service is fast and very polite! I would highly recommend going!read more

We were greeted upon entering the restaurant and seated at a small table in the bar that was by the…read morewindows. The bartender was busy working and singing in between taking orders as she prepared drinks for customers. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered the specials before we placed our order. We love to sample the menu when we travel and the vast menu of tapas gave us the perfect opportunity to try just about everything. They had a smaller wine selection, but there was something for just about everyone. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions on what to try if we were torn between several menu options. The Spanish lamb meatballs, truffle honey pork belly and rosemary beef were the tapas that stood out as the most flavorful and making us each want just one more bite. The Spanish meatballs were glazed with sriracha which caused me to pause before ordering. However, I'm so happy that we gave them a try. They had a bold flavor, but the whipped feta and cilantro were enough to balance the heat. The truffle honey pork belly was sliced differently. We have only had this cut into cubes at other restaurants in the past. The way that they slice the pork belly is so much better. The pork belly was served with cheese grits. We don't even like cheese grits, but could not get enough of these smoked Gouda grits. The rosemary beef with asparagus and mashed potatoes was perfect. The beef was tender, the asparagus cooked to perfection and who doesn't love mashed potatoes. We visit the crystal coast about twice a year and always try a couple of new places. We look forward to coming back to Circa 81 each time that we visit!

Circa 81 is such a hidden gem. It doesn't feel overly fancy or stuffy, just really thoughtful food…read morein a relaxed, cool space. We ordered the Half Chef's Tour, which is their charcuterie, and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of the night. Great variety, really well balanced, and perfect for sharing. It set the tone for the whole meal. The scallop nightly special was perfectly cooked with that golden sear and super tender inside. The rosemary steak had so much flavor and was cooked exactly right. The Brussels were crispy and savory, and even the potstickers were a standout. Nothing felt like an afterthought. Service was perfect for the tapas setting too. Not rushed, we didn't feel over bothered, but not neglected either. Overall, it felt elevated but still comfortable. A great experience without feeling over the top. We'll definitely be back.
