About Kai-Joe's

Kai-Joe's is a local gem known for its amazing tacos and burritos. The Big Mamma steak burrito is highlighted as amazing, while the fish tacos have been called the favorite in NC. The beef tacos remain a good size, and the curry shrimp nachos are a favorite among families. Although the food is delicious, service can be slow if customers order in person; calling ahead for a pick-up order is recommended for faster service. The outdoor picnic table seating adds to the charm of the place. The staff is friendly, and the food is fantastic, with many customers stating that the tacos and quesadillas are to die for. While the food can be very good, some have noted inconsistencies, such as unshredded chicken in the quesadillas. Overall, this is a perfect beach day lunch spot that locals enjoy returning to for a tasty meal.

Disappointed and Won’t Be Returning

I used to love Kai Joe’s. I discovered it three years ago and it quickly became a must-visit spot every time I came to Oak Island (which is often, since I have family nearby). Sadly, that’s no longer the case.

Over the past few visits, the quality has dropped significantly. The last two times I’ve eaten there, the food has been incredibly disappointing. The meat is watery, soggy, and has the texture and taste of something...read full review

Pros: Great customer service, nice personality, food pretty good, corn ribs amazing!
Cons: took about an hour to wait in line and receive food. Online ordering down, didn’t answer their phones. I think I had 2 little shrimp in my shrimp taco – portions pretty small. Didn’t give us the burrito we ordered.
Might try again next year for lunch.

Amazing food and price Highly recommend
