Food is really good. Menu is pretty simple, but it’s well done. Tuna and Mahi burgers and tacos are excellent. Sweet potato fries are likewise worth a try. Make sure to get the dipping sauce made of magic. I think it’s marshmallow fluff and cream cheese. Regardless, it’s amazing.

Best burger and fried flounder in NC, hands down! My kids would also argue best hot dog and sweet potatoes fries around. If you aren't eating here your life is severely lacking! It's not just the food, the people and atmosphere are 10 stars.
