So if you are in Beaufort NC anytime, you must do yourself a favor a grab a cheeseburger from this killer pool hall right in the heart of downtown Beaufort! They are so kind and always whipping up delicious food on the flat top!
I recently took their raw patties with me on a quick trip to The Cabins at Cape Lookout National Seashore and wow can’t beat that burger and the salty air!

The kitchen was closed when we arrived. The atmosphere was not enough to stay.

It’s a dive bar slash pool hall, so set your expectations for “atmosphere” properly. The barkeep doubles as the grill cook, and he was great. Friendly, outgoing, competent on the grill. Food is burgers and fries, and they are terrific. Get the double cheeseburger for 6 bucks, as the patties are small. Plenty of choices for toppings; their “all the way” only had chili sauce, onions, and mustard. Next time I’ll add coleslaw for the proper North Carolina version. Fries came from a bag, they were thin and cooked properly, then served piping hot. Decent draft selection but they were out of several local beers. Had the Red Oak, an NC Vienna lager, and one of our favorites.

I’d eat here every week if I could.

Love the place and the food.
However the guy there was more outside than inside. The Service sucked. This was at 6pm. We were there for lunch too, and there was a different guy with the personality of a wet rag.

This place has the best philly cheese steak and the best burger that I have ever had. It may not be the prettiest, but you can't beat the food. I always come here when I'm in Beaufort. With a location right on the coast, it's a wonder this place hasn't been in magazines.
