In High School, my friends and I would grab lunch at a Coney Island Hot Dog restaurant in Ionia,…read moreMichigan. The dogs came with a thick meat sauce, sweet onions, and mustard. I joined the Marine Corps and left the area, but I would always stop there when home on leave. About 15 years later, I was so disappointed when the store was no longer there. Well, I have finally found the closest thing to what I enjoyed over 50 years ago. Awesome dogs with thick meat sauce, sweet onions and mustard. They also put coleslaw on them, but I had to go with my boyhood passion, so no coleslaw for me. A friend told me that he had never had a dog with coleslaw before, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. The shake was pretty dang good too. I will be back this weekend again!

Pleasant staff and greetings. Food always fresh and delicious. Love the hot dogs and fries combo…read more Worth the trip for this food. Great place.

On more then a few occasions I've driven us out of the way to topsail to swing through Elizabethton to stop at Melvin's, but now I know better. I can save an hour of my life and get a better burger on the island. It's not just dbout the toppings, the burgers are juicy and a great size. The hotdogs are so good. No lie in a 7 day stay we ordered out 5 times from this place. Wish I was a local do I could be a regular here.

The banana pudding ice cream flavor will have me coming back every day of our vacation!…read more We stopped here our first night for an easy dinner. We immediately were enthralled by the antiques adorning the walls. Yes, things are a little dusty but an antique collector knows that you sparingly clean these treasures to avoid destroying the authenticity. We ordered standard diner fare - burgers, fries, steak & cheeses, milk shakes - topping everything off with ice cream! The teenaged staff were attentive and polite, even eager to share their favorite flavors to help us decide. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my oldest said his steak & cheese was the best he'd had though it was smaller portion than he would have liked. All in all, this is a great little spot when you're looking for a quick bite.

Very cute, little, diner by the beach! Staff was friendly and decor was fun…read more Food choices are somewhat limited but taste good.

The place is clean inside and it's a pretty loud environment but worth it. I tried one of their orange crush drinks. Not my favorite but to each their own. It was drinkable. I also got some fries and a couple chili dogs with their sauce. Needless to say, I got another one. Their chili is great and whatever that sauce is, they hit the nail on the head. I'll be back every chance I get.

I was a little reluctant to try this place, strictly because I wasn't in the mood for anything…read morehandheld, but my husband planned date night and reaaally wanted to try Coastal Haze for dinner so I gave it a chance. So glad I did because the restaurant itself is a whole vibe tucked away from the busy street in Cape Carteret. We had the most amazing time here. Everyone was wonderful, helpful with how to order and there is plenty of space inside and outside for the warmer weather. My husband and I chose a table right next to an elderly couple who was trying Coastal Haze for the first time (they live out of town and visit this area once a year) and they were lovely to have a conversation with. I ordered the shrimp tacos and my husband got the wings - both were really good and filling! The tacos had plenty of shrimp, were flavorful and came with these steak fries that were thin, crispy and so good! My husband is sort of a snob when it comes to wings and he was pleasantly surprised. I already can't wait to come back to try more items on the menu!

Laid back dining at an elite level…read more We picked up a snack a couple days ago of the Coastal Fries and were so blown away by them we went back to get more and try the wings. The fries were just as amazing as the previous order and the wings were in a word , perfect. Nice and crispy outside and juicy throughout. And HUGE!!!! 10 of these wings have more meat than 15-20 at most places. As a recommendation, try the dry rub wings and the spicy peach sauce on the side. Can't wait to get back here to start working my way through the sandwich menu.

If you're looking for THE combo, get the double cheeseburger, fries with the malt vinegar/jalapeno ranch, Diet Dr. Pepper, top that bad boy off with a float and you'll wonder where this place has been all your life. I have been dazzled and dazzled.

With the exception of Nu-Way in Georgia, I have never had a better tasting hot dog in my life!!…read moreTheir fries are crinkle cut and seasoned amazingly well. So amazingly that i only wanted to eat my fries the first time I was there. I could only eat one from my 2 dog combo so I had it in the fridge flr the next day. Hubby came home and ate it! He said the same thing, one of the best dogs ever. So, 3 days later we were running the streets taking care of business & stopped in for lunch. We both ordered the dogs again. Still the same yummy in my tummy feeling. The onion rings are perfectly crispy and the onion breaks when you bite into. That seems to be a problem for other food spots. The folks are sooooo very friendly!! I do not have one note to say about this food establishment othee than, GO! I mean, my food was so good it didn't last long enough for photos!!
