The shrimp burger is amazing and everyone was so friendly!
Undoubtedly the very best burger you will find anywhere in Carteret County!! Burgers are cooked to perfection and the meat is not the frozen patties you get from most places. If you haven’t been there and tried their burgers, do yourself a favor and go. I promise you won’t regret it!
Still the great place it’s been over the last four decades we’ve been going! And, recent menu and pricing changes (2024 to 2025) have made it an even better experience versus last year, simplified and many things with a lower price!! The best part, the food is as good as ever!!!
