The Sandspur

"Great environment, feels like Cheers! Everyone is friendly, definitely a locals hot spot! Food is devine and the chef gets an A+. Fresh seafood and wonderful daily specials. Had the crudo wahoo nachos and the seared wahoo bowl. Delicious flavors dancing all around, so good, right off the boat. They don't take reservations, but if you have to wait it's worth it (they have amazing cocktails and local brews too). We ate last night at the bar and it was fun! And be sure not to miss the beer garden out back, they often have bands and DJs spinning. Lots of tables, lawn chairs and an outdoor bar."

"The food here is well crafted. The chips and salsa will make you think you found a nice taqueria. The pepperjack burger will make your mouth water. You’ll be glad you tried the fries, because they are s-tier. But if fries aren’t your thing, the grilled green beans with roasted tomato is the perfect alternative (or addition)! The service is super friendly! Thoughtful specials make this a place to come back to for every visit to pleasure island… The only disappointment is no free parking."

"Honestly I loved everything about this place. The tartar nachos were great and the atmosphere was a good mix of nostalgic and homey with the beach. We also enjoyed one of the specials which was the blue crab burger- personally a big fan that you cant substitute anything when you order from the specials too."

"Right next to the boardwalk at Carolina beach. Cute outdoor patio space and there's indoor seating as well. We ordered the grain bowls (they have tofu as a protein option), fries basket, and a couple of drinks from their bar. Loved the flavors and portion sizes."

"We are so excited The Sandspur has come to the Island! What a great spot. The menu is carefully curated with delicious and healthy options—all full of flavor. They offer locally caught seafood options that change with the season and availability. The portion sizing is just right except that those tacos were so delicious, we wished there were more! The ambiance is casual and fun (indoor and outdoor seating available), and everyone on staff seems to be excited about what they’re building at The Sandspur, which is infectious. Louis (Louie?), in particular, brought such an awesome vibe to our experience with his stellar recommendations, apt attention to service and overall happy energy. Would highly recommend!"
