Carolina Fish Fry Co. - Burlington

This place looks like a deserted island every time I come to Burlington. Especially for it to be a weekend. I can never tell if it's open because there are never any cars in the parking lot. When it first open a year ago food might have been good, but the hype has died down!

We've never had an excellent experience there but the last time, our Shrimp Cocktails were putrid. Slimy and smelled of ammonia, it was impossible not to notice so whoever prepped it just didn't care. My baked potato was old, cold and hard too. We decided we were done with that place then.

The staff was so nice and the food was GREAT. Not a fancy atmosphere, you order at the counter and they bring your food to the table.

I stop by there today and ordered the catfish platter to go. I ordered the Mac n cheese which was a up charge. When I got home that Mac n cheese was disgusting!! It wasn't worth a up charge it was worth going in the trash. This shouldn't even be on the menu as gross as it was.

Loved the Alaskan fish. Food all well prepared and tasty. Staff very polite and attentive. Biggest gripe is food served in styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. OK for take out but not for dine in. Not to mention the environmental impact of so much throw away trash. Don't think prices reflect any savings of not having a dishwasher.
