I even walked over a mile to get there... so if this burger was bad, I was going to have a very long, disappointing walk back. Thankfully, that wasn't a problem. I ordered the double cheeseburger Carolina-style with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. A Carolina-style burger... in Carolina Beach. It just felt right. First of all, this thing was HUGE. The beef was incredibly well seasoned with those crisp, lacy edges. The chili had just enough sweetness, the mustard brought the perfect tang, and the onions added that fresh crunch. Then there's the toasted potato bun--still the undisputed champion of burger buns--and the perfectly melted cheese holding this glorious mess together. What makes this place even cooler is that it started in a gas station back in 2017. Now it's one of the most talked-about burger spots around. It's considered by many to be the third best burger in North Carolina and after one bite, I completely understand why. Sometimes the best food comes from the places you'd least expect. Despite being busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, and the staff kept things moving without missing a beat. Final score: 9.8/10. This officially takes the #1 spot on the Ev's Eats Best Burger List... for now. Every burger from here on out has a new standard to chase. #CarolinaBeach #IslandBurgersAndBites #NorthCarolinaEats #NCEats NCFood

Like I said before my dogs have been inside your store for many years so you recently decided to follow a law that that is almost never implemented. Your employee even said they were about to post a sign outside. I did not write this review to make a DIG as you stated.

Not a big deal... there are Numerous stores and restaurants here in the island that welcome our dogs.

We arrived around 4:30 and beat the dinner rush, which gave us a beautiful evening outside. From the moment we sat down, it felt less like going to a restaurant and more like coming home after a long day at the beach. Our servers, Abigail and Allie, were both wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Service like that is getting harder to find these days, and they deserve a lot of credit. We started with the fried okra, and there were barely any left by the time I thought to take a picture. Crisp, hot, and some of the best we've had. The Black and Red wings were excellent too--full of flavor with just the right amount of kick. The fries were seasoned and cooked just right. The outside seating has a great atmosphere, and even the little details stood out. The place was clean, including the restroom, and seeing their 97.5 sanitation score posted proudly gave us even more confidence. They even had a Venus flytrap outside--only in Carolina Beach can a restaurant have its own bug patrol on duty. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

They were also generous with the avocado, which was a nice surprise since a lot of places barely give you any. The only downside was the wait. We stood in line for about 15 minutes, and it took almost another 20 minutes for our food to come out. That said, everything was made fresh, so it was worth the wait. The price was fair for the amount of food you get, and I'd definitely come back whenever I'm craving a good bagel.

We had driven from morning all the way to Kure to enjoy the beach first thing. We did not want a burger or anything greasy we wanted healthy food - but the universe had different plans for us and after walking within the blocks checking each restaurant in each corner the only one opened was them and no wonder it was so busy and popular.. it was the only thing available. But surprisingly it was delicious. The double burger with cheese wasn't greasy and not too salty so definitely a good order! My mother had fried and it was not bad at all. If you want a quick bite for cheap this is the stop. Such a very local beach vibe little stand - a burger stand to fill up your stomach and you can enjoy the beach all day long!
