It's a small place with a long bar and some high tops. It was very busy the entire time we were there with people even posting outside for a table. We sat at the bar. The service here is fantastic. Super friendly and constantly checking in on you. They work as a team. They add to the vibe for sure. Ordered the Michaelada and a margarita. These were both delicious. The beer based drink comes with an oyster. Added hot sauce to it to make it extra spicy. The margarita was tasty. We didn't order apps as we opted for a boil bucket - don't remember the name. It came with oysters, clams, streamed shrimp, corn, and crab legs. It was $75 and was plenty for two people. There was an additional $2 or $3 charge for steaming the oysters. Didn't get a pic as we tore into the bucket. All was delicious. Would come again!!!

It's like they have known you forever. They constantly check in to make sure all is good. We ordered a skinny marg (delicious and no marg mix - fresh squeezed juice), a cucumber/jalapeño tequila w/club, and a screwdriver that was in special. Check the specials as they have lots going on. Drinks were terrific. Ordered the wings and onion rings (wings and rings - not in menu but should be - just made it up as typing). Onion rings were good. Just basic frozen ones. But these wings - yes!!! You can tell why they won awards. Absolutely delicious. We ordered 12 and were able to get two sauce flavors. We got the garlic buffalo (get this) and the hot honey mustard (get these too). Seriously, delicious. Don't skip this place! It's pretty wonderful.

And because I like produce I also got a side of steamed broccoli. Both were delicious! The nachos were huge- I only ate like half before getting full! The broccoli was also delicious and I'm so glad I incorporated it. My husband enjoyed his fish and fries too! The service was good, and I would definitely visit the new location once they're open!

"Seafood and sports bar on main road in Carolina Beach"…read more Stopped here with a group of 5 on a Friday night in summer, drawn in by the signs about all-you-can-eat crab legs. We arrived at 6pm, and waited maybe 20 minutes for a table. When asked if we wanted indoor or outdoor, we said either was fine as long as not full-sun (some tables were full-sun). Sadly, we were placed at one of the full-sun tables initially. Luckily, when we fussed a bit, they got us a table inside. The restaurant is quite large, with a truly indoor area as well as mostly covered outdoor ones-- we were fortunate to get a truly indoor one, since it was quite hot. The menu was a bit eclectic-- seafood dishes, sandwiches, chicken, and burgers, and lots of drinks. I opted for the fish tacos, since that was reasonably priced-- something like $12-15. The AYCE crab legs were $59-- no thanks! I added a side-salad and also got a fried pickle appetizer for the table. It was a Friday night and busy, but I will say service was SLOW and frankly not great. Took us maybe 15 minutes to get asked what we'd like to order. The fried pickles came almost 30 minutes later. And the meal maybe another 15-20 minutes after that. Our server also seemed almost "put off" whenever we asked for anything, too... like basic flatware after our food arrived. He wasn't great with questions either. Though he did check on us a couple of times. Food was pretty good. The fish tacos were tasty, though one person noted that they were rather minimally seasoned and could have been really great with more. The fried dishes were "fine". One thing to note is the portions are HUGE for many dishes-- one of us got the captain's basket or something, and he's a big eater, but this was way more than he could finish. Similarly, one of us who got the chicken tender platter noted it was really, really big. On the one hand, that's good, but on the other, you're also paying the extra price since the prices were also proportionately higher. The fish tacos were a good compromise-- basically the right amount of food for one person and a decent price. The bathroom was not especially clean-- the soap dispenser was broken and on the side, and it looked like the space hadn't been serviced. The doors to the restrooms were also sticky such that they'd sometimes be left propped open. Overall, I'd say this place was OK but definitely could have been better. I liked my food fine, but the service was definitely underwhelming. One exception-- the lady working the bar was very helpful. There are a lot of GREAT restaurants in Carolina Beach, so this one doesn't do great by comparison.

One Star - Apparently, We Interrupted a Bad Day…read more We walked into the Lazy Pirate, said hello, and asked our bartender how she was doing. Her response? "Um, you don't want to ask me that today. What do you want to drink?" Well, excuse us for being friendly! I ordered a Miami Vice, which was apparently a tremendous inconvenience. After a dramatic sigh, she informed me it might still be too watery but that she would check. Spoiler alert: It was watery. Very watery. Apparently, the frozen part of a frozen cocktail was optional. My husband ordered a beer, which arrived warm. So, between my melted Miami Vice and his warm beer, we really hit the beverage jackpot! We paid, left, and won't be returning. We understand everyone has a bad day, but when your customers are friendlier than your bartender, something is wrong. One star for the drinks. Zero stars for the attitude. ‍

Kids and teenagers were going back and forth with ease, so very convenient for large families or groups if your kids are old enough to venture off on their own. The food itself was mostly bland and overcooked. My burger was very well done, almost rubbery even though I asked for a medium temp. My wife's fried fish tacos were also over cooked. Fries were a bit soggy, but still tasty. There's a variety of options so it can feed a large family with different tastes. Best thing on the menu for me personally was the Tropical Lightning IPA on tap. One of my favorite NC IPAs, and I've never seen it on tap anywhere else. With so many options in the area, we're probably one and done here.

I'm not sure why they were swimming in a butter sauce and smothered in onions, but the sour cream was underneath the pierogi so could barely be tasted. I also got the Polish tacos that use a pierogi shell and is filled with kielbasa, sauerkraut and topped with horsey sauce.
