First time my family has eaten here and we’ve made Kure Beach/Fort Fisher our vacation spot for the last 6 years! I can’t believe we didn’t eat here sooner!! We went around 6:00/6:30pm on a Friday night and were seated immediately. Plenty of seating for 6 at a booth. I got Jacks Ultimate Club with Old Bay chips and it was AMAZING!! No exaggeration. The chips were so flavorful and crispy and the chicken club was so tasty! My husband and my daughter’s boyfriend got the Flounder Platters and they cleaned their plates and told us many times how good it was while they were eating. My oldest daughter got the Cheshire Pork Belly and it was so tender she could tear it apart with just her fork! My youngest daughter and son got the Snow Crab Cluster and loved it!! Our waitress was the sweetest lady and kept us served up good on everything. The atmosphere has dim lighting and is so relaxing. I just can’t express enough how awesome this place is. It’ll be a go-to EVERY time we vacation at Kure. If you haven’t tried it….what are you waiting for!!?

Stopped in on a Friday night. Off season still moderately busy but sat a table right away. Food was delicious and good sized portions for the price. Will definitely make another visit!

Our server Ryan was phenomenal. Attentive and friendly. I had the snow crab legs and clams for an appetizer. These were some of the best I’ve had. Tasty and cooked just right. My sister had the pork chops that were tender and tasty. Everyone was really friendly. We had a great time. Highly recommend.

The food was alright, nothing special. The prices were appropriate for the quality of food served. The service was a bit underwhelming. They were friendly but not overly optimistic or engaging like other establishments. I think the lunch specials are worth the price, I got the Swordfish bites and homemade chips. The chips were pretty good.

We did not have the best experience. Service was pretty slow. Polite, but very slow.
The food was ok. I got the catch of the day. Mahi Mahi. Blackened. The flavor was faint and the fish was dry.
My daughter’s shrimp was fine. The seafood dip was ok. We were a bit disappointed. Looked good. But taste was meh.

Went in for dinner and got seated right away. We got the crab dip as an appetizer and it came out quick and was hot and tasty. We got the Captain’s platter to split. The food came out quickly and had nice portions. Everything was well cooked and tasty. Service was friendly. We would go back again. It was the best place we ate in town while visiting here.

Friends took us here. 1st time for us & 2nd time
this week for them.
Seafood was great & lots of locals hanging out as it is off season.
Scallops, shrimp, flounder – all very good – tastes great!
Certainly a great place to seek out next trip to Kure Beach.
Restrooms handicap accessible & parking lot small, with plenty of street parking – at the right time of the year.

Stopped in here on vacation for dinner. Our server Shelly was kind attentive and patient. She gave honest and great recommendations. My wife and father in law had the crab legs, they both seemed pleased. My kids had chicken tenders and shrimp. I invoked dad tax instantly and tried some of the tenders, some of the best kids tenders I’ve ever had! I had the salmon club. It is HUGE! Overall great experience!
