"It is incredibly hard to find a restaurant with the quality and service you will find at Butts-n-such. I cannot remember the last time I've had hard breaded from scratch fried okra.
The bbq sandwich was super lean and cooked to perfection with a warmed bun.
And the hush puppies alone are worth a stop.
6 stars!"

"Carolina Beach has amazing places to eat but this place is NOT it! The prices are cheaper compared to other restaurants because they barely give you any food! The food has no flavor whatsoever and the Mac and cheese looks like it came from a box! 🤢 Save your money and go somewhere else. Oh and the people are not friendly they don't even greet you when you come in!"

"Definitely not smoked bbq! Was very disappointed when it tasted like vinegar water, also the hushpuppies well i do not recommend them. But hey the mac n cheese was good. And a island restaurant with pre-packaged tarter sauce that was 🤮"
