Bj's Carolina Cafe

I didn't take any photos because I was in such a hurry to eat the good food! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and fries, my boyfriend ordered the fried flounder with fries and cornbread, and we ordered hot wings for the table. Everything we ate was yummy but the winners were the wings and fries! Plus for the price of the food, you can't beat it! Also, if you get the chance to try their BBQ sauces, please do! I bought a bottle for the road.The service was great, everyone was friendly, coming from Virginia it was such a culture shock for us to receive good food and great service, so big kudos to this restaurant for hitting both!

Food service atmosphere cost were all perfect for a Sunday brunch . Will definitely be back!

We tried BJs on a chance, as we normally head to Mels's on our way off the island. We were pleasantly surprised. First the waitstaff were helpful and cheerful. Let me say that the prices were so reasonable that we thought the check was Incorrect. We had almost the same exact meal on island and the cost more than double the cost. I would say that this was probably the best breakfast I have had on any OBX trip that I have taken. All basics eggs scrambled or over easy. All cooked well Pancakes, grits biscuits and potatoes all very nice. We will definitely be going back.

Always fresh and homey food with genuine Southern hospitality here at BJ's.Stop on by on your way North when leaving the Outer Banks!

We've been here three times (and counting). It's a great little cafe right before the bridge to Outer Banks. We've went there for dinner and breakfast. The location is super convenient. The servers are all super nice (had three different ones).Dinner:We agree, for the style of fries they make, they are the best. Honestly, you could go here and have loaded fries for your meal and be happy. Be sure to order a beer, as their drafts are great. Fries are house-made. You can tell. On our first visit, we were surprised at how good they are. The waiter was nice enough to tell us the little story about em'. All of the sides we tried were great. Fam agreed the fried pickle spears were amazing. Fries as mentioned. Entrees are a little more lackluster. They're good just those daggon fries are too good. I had a burger first then a chicken platter with cheese. The chicken chesapeake wasn't too good. I got to try the chicken tenders; they were by far the best. Pulled pork was decent.Breakfast:We didn't think they'd nail a breakfast, but they do. My omelet was filled with thick cut bacon, akin to pork belly. Biscuits and gravy were legit. Sausage links were great. The potatoes had a wonderful crunch to them.

Food here is pretty good & the staff is super kind. This is such a convenient place along the way to the outer banks. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The chicken ceasar salads & hamburger steaks for dinner are killer. love this little spot!

Best burgers in Currituck County, outstanding service at reasonable prices. Top notch!

When you crave a satisfying meal that screams home-cooking, this is the place to go!We visited the in-laws last weekend to celebrate my MIL's birthday. There are no options in Poplar Branch, so I scoured Yelp for something within reasonable distance with a variety of menu options (read: not all fried) for all of us to enjoy. BJ's came up and looked like a great choice. We stopped in after church, around 12:30. There is plenty of parking in their unmarked lot. We were greeted immediately at the door and taken to a large table. I LOVE the seating here - a collection of Amish-built family dining tables, mixed with more conventional tables and booths. We felt right at home. At the entrance, I noticed a collection of preserves and their own cornbread mix to take home. The restaurant had a steady stream of diners coming in on this rainy day and plenty of seating to accommodate!Our server, Heather, greeted us right away and was the epitome of Southern charm. My family can be a bit terse (even ornery) sometimes and she was "sweet as pie" through our entire meal. She was even kind to our toddler who was having a hard time sitting still. She went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. Collectively we ordered a black and bleu burger with side salad, bacon cheeseburger with fries, ham & cabbage special, fried shrimp lunch platter and garden salad with grilled chicken. Hub's side salad was HUGE - falling off the plate huge. The burgers and fries looked delicious and were raved about. Shrimp platter was enjoyed (and also large portion). My salad was really good and fresh, but the amount of chicken for the price ($6 add-on, making my salad even more expensive than the shrimp platter) was a little disappointing, especially considering how large the burgers were. The ham and cabbage special also looked particularly delicious. Tasty food and great service. I wish we lived close enough to take advantage of the weekly specials which are listed on their website. We met one of the owners, Wanda, who was kind enough to sit with us for a few moments and chat. You can tell she puts a lot of love into the restaurant and the meals served here! I look forward to returning in the future.

The bang bang shrimp were cooked & seasoned perfectly. We also had the crab cake sandwich & the pork bbq sandwich. They have a bbq sauce or the most popular vinegar based sauce. It was so good because bought a thing of their award winning vinegar sauce. The staff were so polite & the food came out fast & hot... this is our new favorite secret to eat..... they do breakfast, lunch, & dinner. It's very casual w/ a full bar . The bar seats around 12-15 people..

If you're driving on Rt 158 on the way to, or from OBX, don't miss BJ's Carolina Cafe!! Their food and service are second to none. This is our 4th time dining here this week and we weren't disappointed. Today we got the Fried Chicken Special recommended by our servers Sharon and Tara (great personalities and very knowledgeable about all aspects of their menu). The chicken was perfectly cooked, the hand-cut fries were crispy and HOT, and the homemade cornbread was hot and fluffy. If they aren't offering the Fried Chicken Special, don't worry, EVERYTHING that we've had from their regular menu was delicious and worth ordering. There isn't a problem finding a parking place and you won't have the horrible volume of beach traffic either. This alone is reason to dive there!! I can almost guarantee, if you eat there once, you'll look forward to your next visit!!
