5 Best Bars near Holden Beach

“We are not local to this area and we had a friend reccomended this establishment for lunch. The restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms. There was plenty of seating inside and out which was nice because it was a beautiful day and we sat outside at a picnic table, but there is a nice covered seating area upstairs which was a little too shady for us since it was a little cool the day we were there. The food options were plentiful without being overwhelming. I got the pulled pork sandwich with crispy fries and my friend got the flounder sandwich with coleslaw. The flounder was well cooked with a nice thin breading with shredded lettuce and a tomato slice along with homemade coleslaw which was very good. My pulled pork sandwich was very nice with the same homemade coleslaw. The pork was very tasty and had a nice little heat kick to it which was very pleasant. I am sensitive to spicy foods but this was a nice bit of spice. The crispy fries were delicious, they were exceptionally crispy but maybe a tad bit too salty, but it didn't stop me from munching down every last one!! The portions aren't huge but very satisfying and didn't leave me feeling stuffed and bloated. Overall a great little place. I wouldn't hesitate to come back or reccomended.Parking: Seemed to be ample parking on a Monday around 4:00 in March-so off season.“

“We had a blast today at Hot Buffalo! It was our first time there and it was great! Had appetizers and then wings at half time. They were great! Super service. Great crowd! Clean as a whistle! Sound system accentuated the fun of the game! Go Buffalo!“

“Loved the food, the beer selection, and the views! We went at an odd time, but the place was still busy. My husband appreciated the way the shrimp was prepped and cooked. The salad was a great portion and very filling. The Old Bay chips and the hush puppies were really good appetizers. We will be back!“

“I've been eating at this restaurant for several years when I'm visiting the beach, and find the food to be consistently delicious, and the service to be mostly really good. My favorite dishes are the Chicken Casa Bella, the burgers, the salads, and triggerfish (if it's available - offered as a special for the evening. I also really like the brownie a la mode dessert.This is a popular place to eat, so I find that at the height of the vacation season, it's best to get there early and avoid a wait. I also find that the service is best before they get super-busy. The staff works hard, but can get overloaded when big groups come in.“

“I usually stop in here at lunchtime. Although always busy I never have trouble getting a table fairly quickly. Food is always delicious - especially the housemade chips. Seevice is always attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: All one floor.“
