"Cape Fear Boil Company was incredible! We ordered the Masonboro boil, and it was a breeze to prepare. In less than 30 minutes, my fiancé and I enjoyed a fantastic meal. On a rainy day at Carolina Beach, this was the perfect activity for us. The customer service during our order pickup was outstanding. The cashier was attentive and polite, even offering assistance if we had any issues with our boil, saying we could call her for guidance. The cooking process was simple, and the food was absolutely delicious—the clams and crab were particularly fantastic. I would highly recommend giving Cape Fear a try! 10/10!"

"Ate lunch here during our stay at Carolina Beach. I had Collard rolls, potato salad and fried okra. That was a special they had the day we were there. It was good. The Collard rolls were like cabbage rolls. My husband had the Cheeseburger basket. The burger flavor was great. Served on a buttered grilled bun(yummmo). The servers were polite and attentive. They did forget the onion and bacon that my husband requested, but the food was good. The diner is small, but we did get to eat in. I would eat here again. The tea is good too."

"We've been visiting Carolina Beach for a decade, but somehow we never discovered this hidden gem. Without a doubt, it's the best meal we've ever had on the island. The menu features a single page of carefully curated dishes, and I'm convinced that we could have closed our eyes, pointed at anything, and it would have been incredible (we tried the marinated steak and the Maui special - absolute perfection!). The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating to our kids. We had the first reservation of the night, and they even made some fries for the little ones, which were unlike any fries we've ever tasted – simply amazing! If you do nothing else, make sure to visit SALT FISH!"

"Here’s what we tried: **Nauti Dog**: This was your typical hot dog with some toppings. The cheese and bacon were tasty, and the pretzel bun was excellent. Overall, it was decent but nothing extraordinary; if you’re just craving a good hot dog, this one would likely suffice. **Chili Dog**: We had this without mustard since my middle son doesn't like it. Like the Nauti Dog, it was a solid hot dog. It didn’t wow us, but it was a good chili dog, and the fried onion straws added a nice touch. **Cali Dog**: This one was quite different, and we really enjoyed it, especially my wife. The combination of cucumbers, tomatoes, and raw red onions created a lovely texture. The onions added a nice kick, balanced by the guacamole. With so much flavor from the toppings, we barely noticed the turkey dog underneath. We would definitely order this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing hot dog option—almost like a salad on a bun! **Gouda Dog**: This was my personal favorite. The mustard, pimento cheese, and onion straws gave it a strong cheesy flavor while still maintaining the essence of a hot dog. It was heavily topped, so we even used it to dip our chips. If you’re a cheese lover, this hot dog is for you. I’d also recommend it for anyone willing to try something a little different. **Pretzel and Beer Cheese Appetizer**: My wife really wanted this to satisfy her pretzel craving, and she was pleased. The beer cheese was standard fare, but since we ordered carryout, it was more of a thick paste than a pourable sauce. It still tasted good, though the texture was a bit off. The pretzel was decent but nothing to get too excited about. **House-Made Chips**: Each hot dog came with a side of their house-made chips. Two of my three kids didn't enjoy them at all. To be honest, they had a slightly burnt, overly fried taste that might be an acquired taste. Personally, I thought they were fine, and they improved when dipped in the ranch dressing we got. We might opt for a different side next time. Overall, we had a good meal that served its purpose. While we probably wouldn’t make a special trip back to Nauti Dog, if we found ourselves in the area again, we’d likely stop by to try some of their other unique hot dog offerings."

"We had a party of 7. Exceptional service. No lagging in drink refills or mistakes in anyone's orders. The food was exquisite! We experienced appetizers stuffed mushrooms, calamari, and cheese sticks. ALL delicious. Martini menu was large, and we enjoyed several different ones. ALL delicious and made strong. Salad before meal was superb, fresh greens, picked beets, garbanzo beans, fresh cherry tomatoes, red cabbage, cauliflower, so many different texture mixed with the house dressing which is a one of a kind experience. Everyone envied not having the recipe. Our main courses were all highly anticipated by this time and certainly did not disappoint. Apple walnut pork chops, chicken parm, Ribeye James style, chicken Alfredo, chicken marsala, and all enormous portions. Pasta was handmade, and sauces were rich and flavorful. Steak and porkchops were juicy and cooked to perfect temperature. Everyone could not be more delighted in their choice of main course. It was difficult to, however, to make the decision to box up the remainder of our delicious plates before us to leave room for dessert. We all agreed that we must have the FULL experience of this wonderful place. We ordered terimisu, cheese cake, canoli, peanut butter chocolate cake, and lemon cello cake with, of course, black coffee. There were no regrets at that moment as the desserts melted in our mouths. And we were validated in our previous decision. The coffee was rich and the best brew I've received in a restaurant in a very long time. There were absolutely no issues that could be considered negative in this beautiful experience. One of our meals was delayed coming out, but it was comped on our ticket. Our waiter, who is originally from Jersey, was friendly and prompt. He conversated and offered suggestions on the menu and desserts that were not on the menu. (Big Score). I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great adult family dinner or date night. Notes: Parking is limited during tourist season, so go early to find parking. Reservations are a must. The restaurant is small, and seating is limited."
