Oh my! This burger will have you coming back again and again (highly suggest you try it with swiss cheese). The fries and ranch are delicious as well as guacamole and chips. Great views, service and food! We cant wait to come back soon.

Super fun atmosphere, unique, our waitress was super sweet and attentive, and the food was great. I had awesome crab cakes AND we ordered cheese curds. Ok, I'm from the midwest, and these are the best cheese curds I've ever had. Go figure. We sat at a table right next to the water. The water views are great!! Highly recommend!

This place was a great way to end our day trip. I had the tropical chicken with the Carolina corn salad, and the other dishes are the crab cake rubens and the Yo Ho Po' boy! We all enjoyed our food. It is right on the water, and you can see boats go by along with planes preparing to land overhead depending on the day. It is a very fun atmosphere. Lots to do around the area as well. The service was good as well. If you are in the area, give this place a try!

I had no idea this place existed until yesterday. We had an event at the Cotton Exchange, and came to eat afterwards. We were a party of four and were sat at a table immediately, despite them being pretty busy. Jay, our server, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and made drink recommendations, so I had the mango sunrise (delicious frozen drink). We started off with the parmesan Caesar wings, which are seriously some of the best wings I've ever had, if not THE best. The size, the sauce, they weren't dry, overcooked or greasy. Perfection. For entree, I had the special - catfish po' boy. Another amazing dish, and the portion size blew me away. I had to take half home! My only little tidbit is the fruit side is prepackaged cup, not fresh like I'd thought, but I just took that home. No big deal. Absolutely love the atmosphere and the weather was perfect for eating outdoors, although every now and then I'd forget it was on the water until the horizon moved I will definitely be back!

Your typical American bar and grill on the river with more personality, great location and friendly service. I ordered and thoroughly enjoyed the Tropical Chicken Sandwich, each bite rewarding. I’m usually not a huge crinkle cut French fry girl, but these fries were thinner than the traditional crinkle cut and incredible. My partner ordered the pulled pork and while it tasted good, it was more on the fatty side and a little mushy for our preference. But otherwise a good little spot on the riverfront.

Such a fun spot! Floating right on the river with gorgeous views of the battleship and all the boats. Drinks were tasty, food was absolutely delicious and refreshing. All the servers were super friendly and made you feel right at home.

Summer was our waiter, she was kind, checked in on us, gave us recommendationsand an overall delight. We sat facing the Cape fear river which was wonderful, there was a nice breeze. We had the fried pickles, the fish and chips and white cheddar mac and cheese. The fish was seasoned perfectly, light and crispy. The chips, fried pickles and Mac and cheese were delicious. 10/10
