Good dogs, pile of french fries and okay atmosphere. Since it is right on the main drag, it is over priced a bit but we enjoyed the meal.

Ten of us had a very nice business dinner at Pop’s. The Atmosphere is sort of hip industrial; service was friendly and professional; wine list is reasonably priced with nice selections, and everyone enjoyed their meals. We shared the Italian meat platter, others had the calamari, and my entre was the salt egg and prosciutto flat bread which was very... More

What an awesome place!! The food was outstanding. Fresh, homemade, big portions, and some of the most unique menu items. The service was friendly and quick, but the quickness did not take away from the quality!! The new owners take pride in the food and the restaurant, its obvious. You must check out the new decor, it truly makes it... More

The choices in Carolina Beach can be limited in the off season and my husband wanted a burger so we stopped in here for a quick lunch. The burger seemed to have a hand-made pattie & the French fries were very tasty with a spicy seasoning. I had a hotdog that was good but nothing special. The atmosphere was clean... More

They are greatly priced and really yummy. The floors are filled with authentic nostalgia and the atmosphere is laid back with a family feel. Crabcake burger and beef burgers are delicious. I will definitely be back!

Hubby and I were in the mood for a burger so we decided to try Pop's and it certainly does not disappoint. The burgers were good, messy and exactly what we were hoping for. As good as they were, the show stealer was the sweet potato fries. While I've had them other places, I have to admit Pop's are very... More
