When we arrived, we noticed that there was a live band playing in the garage area and according to the schedule, this happens quite frequently, which was great to see the wine and tap room offers a wide variety of beer and wine. We tried two of the local IPAs that came from Wilmington, North Carolina. Overall, we had a great experience because we enjoyed the service, loved the atmosphere and loved the selection of beers. Definitely try this one out if you come to Ocean Isle Beach.

First experience with this restaurant was enough to make me NEVER go back. Lied to before we ever…read morewalked in the door about wait times over the phone. We left a diff restaurant with an hr+ wait bc this place supposedly only had a 20-30 min wait. We arrived, checked in and were told when one specific table leaves that we could have their table. There were other open tables but told they didn't have the staff to serve them. So we waited 30 min. and that table did leave on time. However, during that time at least 2 or 3 other parties came to the restaurant and were sat in those empty tables. We were told they had prior reservations AND that apparently they had someone already coming to fill the table we were originally promised. We could wait another 30-45 min for someone else to leave OR sit our 6 adults and 1 child separately at two high back booths with no contact. If it had been my decision I would have walked out immediately. No customer service by host or manager who came to hear it out. The rest of my party was too hungry to wait or go somewhere else so they sat separate and ate. I refused to give them my business and never will. VERY POORLY MANAGED and it obviously starts at the front of the house. My wife had the apricot salmon ($28) its was extremely bland. My 5 yr old son had shrimp and fries ($14!!) which were extremely mediocre at best. I've had better at Culver's. Restaurant looks poorly organized. Needs a renovation, and OBVIOUSLY some new staff who know how to provide customer service in a service industry. Ambiance was like a dive bar trying to serve food to survive. They won't be around long.

For my husband's birthday, I offered him 3 choices from great restaurants in our area all of which we have visited and enjoyed for special occasions but not for some time. His choice was Maya. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our server "Adi" (?-we're hard-of-hearing). My "many words" could describe her attributes as a professional filling just about any position. Yet, as our server she was courteous, poised, respectful, warm, non-intrusive, sensitive to timing (re: approaching tables), clear and knowledgeable re: our questions about entreés,most their ingredients & receptivity of such a choice enjoyed (or not) by previous patrons. Without being rushed, we savored one last forkful of our meals. (Mine was Lambchops, plantains, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and rice covered with a delicious semi-spicy red sauce. The "birthday boy" chose the Salmon dish (Mahi Cozumel?). Adi can help you but for double excellent service, call to make sure she's there (i.e. on the "night shift").

Went this past weekend as a group for our work retreat, we had a group of 20. The restaurant was so…read morecute and the decorations really tied the restaurant in with the cuisine. The food was a 10/10 I got the ACP and it was delicious and plated nicely. Even though we booked days in advance with a reservation of 20 people, unfortunately the staff was not well prepared. We arrived at 5:40pm, everyone did not receive their drinks until 6:15 and had to ask someone to take our order at 6:30. By 7 we had to also ask for our appetizer as we still had not received it and we did not receive our food until 7:30. We also had to flag down our waiter/waitress throughout the dinner in order to get refills and ended up not leaving until 8:20 as we had to wait for our check as well. Even though the food is good we will not be coming back because they were definitely not prepared for a group. Additionally some of our meals came out cold and we realized after we had cut or bitten into the food, the waiters took it back and you could tell it had been microwave as the same cuts were still in the food. After waiting almost 2 hours for our food it surely should not have come out cold.

I had the Shrimp Tacos that were flavorful. The service however was not very good. We sat down and were eventually told it was tiki bar style where we had to go to the tiki bar to get food. Once we were told this, we also asked for an umbrella to shade the sun at our table. When we did we were told that umbrellas weren't supposed to be open because of the wind. At the same exact time we were told this, all the tables umbrellas were up and there were two umbrellas unused behind the bar. It seems that the staff just didn't want to help us.

This review is for the off season menu: I appreciate places…read moreoffering cheaper options during off season, to make it more affordable for the locals and giving the restaurant continued business. However, it would be best to just discount your regular menu slightly, but keep the quality of food the same. We can go anywhere during the tourist on-season and get a truly delicious $15 burger + fries around Ocean Isle (& even cheaper at Beaches). So when we saw the $10 off-season menu burger for Pelicans Perch we assumed the quality would still be good but that it was discounted as a way to keep busy during the off season. But it was reminiscent of a school lunch burger or a fast food burger (but even worse). The chili was ok, and that was why I did give it 2 stars. After that experience, I could not bother to go back to try the regular menu or recommend this place. So their regular menu may be wonderful. But serving an extremely low quality burger for $10 as a type of special for locals was disappointing.

So my buddy and I came back tonight with the bartender name Marhria we were there for several hours. We met amazing people we met their puppy that was there and their cat. Was there name, Frankie. We hung out there for an hour and we met amazing people while we played pool. We The bartender pretended to be our friend when I left my bill was 328 fucking dollars. So let's get to Straight. I bought a few rounds for some people a few beers for some people but my friend and I only drank Coors light bye-bye and I had a few bullet bourbons. Can you fucking believe that their bullet bourbons were $30 apiece? The bartender totally ripped us off because we were not locals. Let me ask you a question. When have you ever been to a fucking dive bar with a charge $30 for a double bullet bourbon? My wife and I travel all over the country and we've even been to California and just never been more than $18 for a double of bourbon. This fucking place ripped us off and she laughed about it as we left . My bill was $328 for two guys to drink. There's no food included in that. Keep in mind we were there twice earlier during the day and the bartender Amanda did not rip us off. This other bartender fucked us so bad. I can't even imagine all the places I've been to with my wife even in California our bill was never $328. So when I confronted her, she laughed and she had her boyfriend a mix Hispanic black guy behind the bar who said well that's our price. Like are you fucking kidding me. Do not go there. I'm actually calling my attorney because I'm bringing them up on charges for ripping me the fuck off I don't mind paying for my drinks, I expected a $220 bill. I did not expect a $338 fucking bill. So needless to say if she was a human being and treat us good I would've given her the $90 tip but she wanted to stick it to us and play scumbag games. She got a $20 tip on $338. And we are not like that. Do not go to this bar I repeat do not go there. I can't say enough do not come here go to pelicans 2 miles down the road and they treat you so much better
