“I’ve been dying to try this local hotdog stand ever since I’ve first came to Wrightsville Beach! The atmosphere definitely reminded me of a great Chicago hotdog stand… Even if the Vienna beef is nowhere to be had, I enjoyed the recommendations from Jackson. I have both the Polish and the traditional trolley dog. Both hit the spot along with the fountain Coke. It didn’t hurt that. It was a beautiful day to have the dogs out on the beach and parking is free in November. Service from Jackson was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.”

My husband chose to get the protein wrap and I chose the meatball sandwich, which was in a wheat tortilla. If you are not familiar with potbelly you should give it a try. Because the food is amazing. We ordered the english toffee shakes, which were also very amazing. This is a place that we do fully intend on going back too. The staff were amazing. We think that it's a really nice place. If you're wanting a great bite to eat and plenty of variety and good choices.”

“The food at COOK OUT is fast to the window, but still maintains the flavor and freshness of a local restaurant. My chicken quesadillas were hot and stuffed with fresh, tender, chicken and dressed with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and melted cheese. I also received some red salsa for dipping and sour cream. As good as any quesadillas I’ve had plus my pineapple- banana shake was so thick I needed the spoon they provided. It tasted homemade with real bits of fruit in every bite. Gotta treat yoself every once in a while.😋”

The food is good, the service is good, and the good ol's were present and accounted for. If fast food is your mood, this location will likely meet and exceed your expectations in the best ways possible. Thanks, Hardee's.”

We discussed the differences in specific menu items at different restaurants etc etc. I’m only leaving this review so someone can recognize Tameka’s service! People like Tameka are rare and the service she provides is even more rare. I appreciate your professionalism and the “small talk” Tameka! Thank you ma’am!”

“I know this place is usually backed up with people and there is almost always a wait for the food but I've never experienced bad service at this burger king like I have with the others in town. It could be because I just always assume they are short staffed and don't expect it in a hurry. I laugh with the staff and will not go to the other BKs in town. Sorry your so short handed most of the time but I appreciate you guys!”
