My wife and I went  this past Friday and loved it! Nice motorcycle ride, little over and hour. if you like you caned a goat and have a few private conversations with some chickens and the donkey.  Ride a tractor and take as many pictures around the farm as you like. You may go a little crazy in the fudge shop and come out with piping hot apple cider, fried apple pies, several different flavors of fudge and a few cream cheese puffs. At the cash register were several samples that  included apple butter, crackers, cream cheese and the best jalapeno jelly that i have ever tasted. After that we needed to take a break so we decided to eat lunch at the restaurant. We had fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, mac and cheese, fresh sweet corn, ham and biscuit and apple pie. Did I say this was all you can eat? Well it is and the waitress brings it to you so all you have to do is sit and eat. Taste? Sorry mama but it was as good as your's. I am already planning on visiting Mike's Farm again soon.

Had an awesome lunch this week at Tandoori Bites. Classic platters of mouth-watering tandoori chicken, lamb curry, goat vindaloo (cubed meat marinated in vinegar and potatoes with spicy gravy) and shrimp tikka masala.  Always a thumbs' up whether you eat the lunch buffet or order from the dinner menu.

We got there before 2 PM, seating was not a problem even though it was the beginning of fall bikers week. Our waiter was very nice and attentive to our needs. Food was delicious and served within 10 minutes of ordering. I would highly recommend this establishment for your next craving for Italian food. The meat sauce is some of the best I have eaten anywhere. Plenty of seating and quite a few locals eating there which is a good sign in a tourist area. Can't wait for my next trip to North Myrtle Beach so I can try other menu items.

Looking for a place you won’t leave hungry? Look no further. Atlantic Seafood and Steaks is just that place. Newly renovated this past winter (formerly Golden Coral) Atlantic is already a local favorite. And for good reason. Atlantic Seafood and Steaks is everything it’s name says and much more. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable and did I say it is probably the best seafood in the area. It is worth the drive from Wilmington and I will be doing it again soon.

This is our second trip to this place. Our first visit was soon after it opened and the service and food was average. We have given it plenty of time to find what works and what doesn't. Sorry to say it is worse. Probably a 3rd of what is on the menu is no longer served. What is served really isn't that good. I got the chicken tempura and would have got better tasting food at the food court at the local mall at half the price. The chicken was dry and the batter was cooked just long enough that it wasn't doughy. The vegetables were average at best. Now the rice was gummy and tasted starchy. Will I go back? Probably not. If I am pay absolutely not. If you are paying maybe.

Almost for got most item are 15 to 20 dollars, but the portions are adequate.
