The true delight is dessert! The rum Cake is a must have - warm, light, complex. The vinho verde and sparkling rose were delicious. I will come Back just to have wine and dessert.

“Great service, atmosphere, and food. Our waitress was lovely and gave us excellent drink recommendations—we went with the Fishy Margarita and the Blueberry Hill Martini, and both were fantastic. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Beyond the superb food and service, the atmosphere truly stood out. We had an amazing view of the marina and the sunset, which made the experience even more special. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

The people were so kind and one worker gave my friends baby a hat 💚 All in all great welcoming environment and yes you get served by a Granny at Granny's. That cute little lady was too sweet🥰

Lastly we got 2 full breakfasts with additional corn beef hash as a side, biscuit n gravy as a side and cheese grits as another side. We also had coffee and I had hot chocolate. The bill was less than $40 very affordable.“

“My boys and I had dinner here on Saturday after the music festival. There was a short 15-minute wait to get a table, but it was well worth the wait. Our server was wonderful, and on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything, and refills were on the table before we were out. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the raspberry margaritas are the best I've ever had. Definitely going back on my next trip! Best meal we had on the Island this weekend!“

“It's been a rough few weeks for small business owners in Southport since the storm and local road issues haven't helped. The other day instead of waiting in traffic I stopped in to check on a friend & fellow restaurant owner at Southport Gourmet and Sushi Bar. Like me at The Saucy Southerner their daily business has been greatly affected and I had an idea I offered the owners. I decided to put together a night with friends and let the restaurant show off a little! Let me tell you!! They showed off big time and made us the most amazing meal!! Our group ate until we couldn't eat any more, and then we ate more!! Everything was fresh, great service and the food was delicious!!! From the sensational appetizers to kick things off, to the second course of some delightful fresh sushi boats and then finished it off with some of their favorite items!! All around we all had a wonderful time and we're grateful to be able to support a local small business during these challenging times. The best part was we beat all the traffic issues, had quality time with friends and made the night a little better for everyone involved! Get out there and support local small businesses and slow down a little. Live life and have fun!!“

“Michaelangelo’s is a fan favorite at our house when it comes to pizza.🍕 The dough tastes amazing and is coupled with their fresh ingredients. Friendly staff make the experience wonderful whether you’re eating a slice at the restaurant or grabbing pizza to go home.“

“I think their food is good, however everytime we go when we're on vacation they screw up our order. Doesn't matter what location.“

“The pulled pork is literally the best. With a close second being the freshly fried fish. Add some pineapple salsa and Jalapeño bbq sauce and *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻. You can't go wrong“

“Great, Friendly“

“Great burgers with a friendly staff“

“This was about a 10 minute walk from our Carolina Beach condo rental at Sands V. Very easy to get to if you're staying anywhere on the oceanfront.

We had a full moon the night we ate here so the atmosphere was perfect. I didn't care for my lemonade or mahi sandwich, but my wife's fish tacos were great. And the fries were perfect. Also liked my son's chicken tenders -- really easy to share.

The best views will be from the Tiki Bar. But anywhere on the deck is perfect.“

“This gem of a taco place happened to be right down the road from our Airbnb. Everything we ordered came super fast. Everything was fresh and delicious. Had a large list of restaurants to try while in Carolina beach for 5 days but had to make a second stop at Nollie’s. Spicy margs and the mahi mahi tacos were so good! My wife loved the “Full Monty” with different queso and salsa/pico dips and chips. Loved everything about this place!“

“Great food we got lobster roll and tacos fries food was fantastic our waiter was great bit hot inside but that was no biggy“

“Their food has always been good, soups are good. Convenient and affordable. Eat in but take out for home is recommended. Inside eating area could / should be updated.“

“I went with my Mom to meet the Beau Rivage women for lunch. I give it 10 stars ! I will be bringing my group here to eat.“

“First time here. I had a take out, and I ordered the spaghetti. Its very basic, and the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle, no favor, and the noobles needed salt. I only eat what I could, and threw out the rest in the garbage. As for the restaurant itself, it needs be renovated. Looks like an old pizza hut from the 80's.“

“Awesome entertainment, views, and food!“

“Everything was perfect! Service, food, drink. I lived in Japan and it was just like being back....only they spoke English! It was PERFECT!“

“We had a great Watch Party today at BDubs Carolina Beach. Anthony was great helped so much. This was a first time for the group. We will be back.“

“Great food, large portions at a very reasonable price. Staff, although very busy on a Sunday evening, was friendly and helpful. Order was ready for pickup when promised. The dining area and signage is outdated, but don’t let that discourage you…the food is excellent!“

“We ate here last night. The Tuscan chicken was fantastic! The sauce, meatballs, calamari & cheesecake was delicious. Andre our server is professional, personable, attentive & one of the best servers I have had & we eat out a lot. Kudos!!“
