    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Lucas D.

    Chefs kiss. Genuinely the best chicken sandwich my tastebuds have ever touched. the boom boom sauce really made it go boom. 10/10 would definitely try again. I will say the wait was a pretty long time but worth it for the quality and taste of the food.

    Great breakfast spot. Small menu which I think is great so they can focus on doing things well. Counter service so be prepared for that. I recommend the breakfast bowl and do get a side of grits. You will not be disappointed! Place was clean and friendly!

    chicken caesar wrap and onion rings

    Went to the bite yesterday, and have always loved their food. however, yesterday I ordered a chicken caesar wrap (which i used to love) with onion rings, and it was actually the worst meal i have ever had. The wrap was absolutely disgusting. It looked and tasted like dog food and the lettuce wash mush. The chicken in it was also mush. The onion rings looked like they would be delicious, but the onion in every single onion ring was shriveled up and dry to the point you can barely chew it. I had to throw it away it literally wasn't edible. I don't know if staffing or ownership change happened, but that was the biggest waste of $20 i have ever spent in my life.

    The best biscuit I've had in a very, very long time! We had breakfast here twice during our 4 day trip to Atlantic Beach. Both times I order the hoop biscuit with sausage. The biscuit is huge (it looks like a muffin) but very soft and very flavorful. I am a big fan of overly cheesy things so this was perfect for me. The staff was always super helpful and the rooftop looks like a great place to have some drinks and appetizers on a nice day.

    We were looking for a last minute place to have dinner after coming out from Raleigh for a family vacation -- this place was open and looked like a fast and easy dine in! The first and second floor views were both gorgeous as it's a small seafront fast casual diner; there was even a cute little bar on the second floor. The tater tots were crispy and tasted great! My bacon chicken ranch wrap was also very good (boyfriend approved). The shrimp wrap was also great -- shrimps were big and not breaded too much. The burgers were good but we're just your typical burger, nothing crazy. One of our orders was wrong -- chips came out with a burger instead of tater tots, but staff was especially kind enough to give us tater tots for free plus some ranch cups when asked. My only qualm about the place was that you have to pay almost $2 for a side of either fries, tots, or one other option instead of just a small bag of chips with your entree. Granted, the prices weren't bad for the seafood, especially by the seafront. Overall, this place was really nice to spend time with family, enjoy the sea breeze, and have a yummy bite on the go!

    I had hoped that the flounder sandwich would have been made with local fish, but unfortunately it wasn't. Instead it came out of a bag, loaded with other identical fish pieces. The generic white bread hamburger bun was dressed with a tablespoon of tartar sauce, and a couple of pieces of iceberg lettuce. The service was good.

    It's a nice breakfast spot. I would return. They have specials and short menu that makes choosing easy. The lady taking our order was kind and very honest. I appreciated her honesty, and it helped me make my choice, which was the bowl. It could have fed three people!

    Perfectly fried treats, from the onion rings to the shoestring french fries. Loved the Reuben and my "bright red" North Carolina hotdog!

    Simply awesome food with a killer view from the rooftop bar. Hat tip to the fry cook who knows how to expertly fry everything from the onion rings to the Honey Shrimp - there's nothing more disappointing than over-fried food and this place has their team dialed in! The Reuben on the daily special was not to be missed and I really enjoyed my classic North Carolina "bright red" hot dog!

    breakfast with a view

    I cannot say enough good things about the service and the food!!! Just simply amazing!!! 10 out of 10, and let me not forget to mention the amazing view

    A burnt chicken tender.

    Food was mediocre-nothing was seasoned. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our food. Coffee was constantly empty. Out of some items-frustrating as their menu is already small. Chicken tenders were burnt. The space is very small which makes it loud and crowded. Would not come back.

    I ordered ahead. It was done by the time I got there.. it took me maybe 12 minutes to get there. I ordered a cheese biscuit and added a sausage patty. It was absolutely delicious. My French toast was pretty good. The staff was friendly and I got a view of the ocean. What more could you ask for?

    Reuben with onion rings

    Service was excellent- My Reuben was delicious! My husbands Crabcake sandwich was also spot on! Onion rings were fresh out of the fryer perfectly done. Fries were batter coated and perfect. Highly recommend.

But we were able to get drinks, and take them out to enjoy by the water while we waited for our table. Because of the heat, they even had a cooler by the front door with free bottled water for guests to enjoy while waiting. Once seated, the waitress was very attentive, checking on us regularly, keeping the drinks coming and getting out order entered, and out to us pretty quickly. Not being a big seafood eater, I decided to give their meatloaf a try. It was fantastic, as were the mash potatoes and green beans it was served with. For desert, we got smores, which they brought out a flames, along with graham crackers, Hershey bars, and marshmallows to make them at your table. Overall, a fun experience, tasty food, and great atmosphere. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I'd say that's expected for a quality restaurant in a beach town. It's not tourist trap pricey, but you get what you pay for, which in this case is good quality food, decent portions! I'd go back on another visit, and would recommend to others.

It's a fun little spot with indoor and outdoor seating right off the beach if that's the atmosphere you're looking for. The place itself has a great laid-back beach-bar vibe however the attitude behind the bar just didn't quite match it. The 3 star rating is primarily based on that fact. We took a weekday trip to the beach at the end of July and were pleasantly surprised to find Tacklebox Tavern open late on a Sunday night and it was karaoke night too! The bar was fairly busy for a Sunday, with a fun mix of locals and travelers and an age range that seemed to go from early 20s all the way into the 60s. The crowd was friendly, the drinks were cheap, and the atmosphere was exactly what we needed for a fun Sunday night at the beach! My biggest complaint was the service. The bartenders consistently seemed annoyed and irritated, and at times it felt like simply ordering a drink was an inconvenience to them. I completely understand that working behind a busy bar can be hectic, but the attitude was noticeable enough that it took away from an otherwise really enjoyable experience and was mentioned by multiple patrons. A little more friendliness behind the bar would have made this place a home run for us.

In my…read moreexperience, finding good seafood restaurants in and around Atlantic Beach (even including Morehead City - where there are a dwindling few) can be surprisingly difficult, especially compared to the pelagic bounty of most coastal Carolina towns. Bahia has probably the best food I've had from any of the current crop of Atlantic Beach places. Every dish I've tried so far has been excellent. One in particular needs to be highlighted. The crab dip is possibly the best I've ever eaten, anywhere. You need to try it. Pro tip: Be prepared for the generous amount of butter and oil in and on the food -- it adds to the richness and is definitely a good thing, but you'll want to be careful if you're planning on performing microsurgery or wiping your eyeglasses. There is unobtrusive but good quality live music, which is always a plus (and seems more well-considered than the solo guitar dudes repeatedly playing "Free Fallin" at the neighboring restaurants and bars). The air conditioning indoors does a heroic job of keeping the restaurant a relatively nice temperature, as well.
