Bandanas American Grill

We ordered the Philly cheesesteak, Caesar salad with grilled chicken, and chicken tenders with fries—everything was delicious. The Philly cheesesteak was hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Caesar salad was fresh, and the grilled chicken was cooked perfectly. The chicken tenders were crispy and juicy, and the fries were spot on. Great food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Bandana’s is definitely a solid choice in Burgaw and a place we’ll be coming back to.

Love this place, my husband and I’s go to for a nice dinner in Burgaw! He ALWAYS gets the deviled crab and they always hit just right! I always change it up as their menu is so large and delish! Service tonight was a 10/10 (always is great) and thought they deserved an extra little thank you for always being so good to us! Keep up the great work yall!

The food is absolutely out of this world ! Better than than even the Calabash restaurants...definitely a hidden gem right there in Burgaw. And dare I say, the chicken tenders are even better than Smithfield Chicken and BBQ...🤯

If you want a change from tacos .....This is the place to be . Clean , good service and good food . Great variety on the menu .

By far the best cooking I've ever ate. Great atmosphere that's laid back with a hint of excitement tucked away in the Historic town of Burgaw NC. This quiet little town with a history of standing up for what's right predates this great nation and serves amazing cuisine that's recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. I highly suggest anyone local or just passing through to stop in for a beer ,try an appetizer, or be amazed by their specialty dinners and just about anything else you can think of in American dining.

Great dining experience! Right off the road from Hwy 53 & 117. Never knew it was here. Cheeseburger was great. Very clean and restrooms clean as well. **2024 **update to my last review. Stopped here to grab a quick lunch. The food was great, restaurant was super clean and the waitress was outstanding. They have really good sandwiches here. I am going to come back and try the seafood. They serve local caught seafood. This place is worth the stop in Burgaw.

Bandanas for the win! Finally, bonfire weather and wanted to have friends over to celebrate without doing any work. Ordered 100 wings from Bandanas (in advance) and a few pizzas for a Friday 7pm pickup time. I arrived with everything ready and they had a young man carry it to my car. Everyone loved the wings and pizza. Will definitely be doing it again and again....

Me my sister and niece went there after seeing it on Google!! The staff was friendly, clean and the food was really good! We all got pork chops and they were hot and good! Look forward to returning soon

This is our hometown go to! Owner and wait staff are so friendly! They put care and quality into every dish. I've enjoyed every meal there.

Nice hidden little gem in Burgaw. The food has been hit or miss in my experiences, but the staff is very friendly and service is fast.

Went there a couple times and did not have the best experiences. Well my wife and I have given them a few more chances and the meals we have tried are very tasty. We have since moved from the burgaw area but we return from time to time ... we will likely go back now and then.

We brought our 4 kids in before a soccer game and we were served very quickly. The kids liked their cheeseburgers and Mac & Cheese. I had the club sandwich , which was huge and my wife had the salmon.

Service was prompt and cheerful. Best onion rings in 3 counties! Good rueben cooked as asked; nice small side salad. REALLY good french fries. And...they have PEPSI!

The been here several times. absolutely love the food. I would give the fried pickles a 10. But unfortunately too salty, I'll give it a 7 or 8. Other than that, other than that Everything else I've eaten here have been absolutely wonderful. In the picture, consider fried oak covering that side of the plate. Sorry I ate half of the okra. It's just so delicious. Fffffff day Hailey HD yukxdugdsyjhxfuhh

Great menu with emphasis on steaks and seafood. Great service. What I don't get is the prices for their appetizers and soups. A bowl of claw chowder was $11.99. I don't even pay that much in Boston for the real thing. Finally, they have a B health rating.

Went for a late lunch with a friend. I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich...and they had the Slap Ya Momma Shrimp appetizer. Both were very good and tasty. Food was hot and fresh. Service was good. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean. Definitely looking forward to going back again.

Absolutely love this family! They are ALWAYS supporting the schools and the teachers. You often find them in the community helping others. The food is delicious and the place is always clean!

Excellent friendly service. The catfish and flounder were very good. Delicious fried okra and hushpuppies.

The people who work there are incredibly friendly and make you feel like family. My only complaint or the food prices which are really high compared to other seafood places. When they were in their old location, it was the same issue, which was the cost of the food. I will, however, say that they absolutely know how to cook seafood very well.

The food was great and the service was excellent. Our server did a fantastic job taking care of us and making sure we had a great dinner. I had the 1/2 rack of ribs special and they were the best ribs I had in a long time. If we ever get back in the area we will make sure we eat there again.

I can't imagine very many people stumble into Burgaw NC by accident. We came for the free internet at the Public Library, since the nearby site where we are volunteers has no service, and our phones only get 1-2 bar signals. We almost passed Bandanas by since it's at the far end of a grocery store strip mall which has seen better days... that would have been a Big Mistake. The decor is small town worn but homey, the staff warm & friendly, the fairly loud but tasty country music tolerable. The Menu has surprising range and depth, and although we didn't challenge the kitchen much this trip, we will be back next time we need to back up our phones!

Was here for lunch and really enjoyed the grilled pork loin with collards aNd green beans. Service was good too. I want to go back at dinner and check it out. It's a pretty cool looking place and looks as if it may be fun for dinner.

These folks not only have terrific food, but their service is top notch! Really friendly! Their prices are really good and they have the absolute best shrimp around.

I have been trying to think of the right words for this review. My mom dines here a lot so I need to be as gentle as possible. The town this restaurant is in does not have more than 5 restaurants other than fast food. Maybe even less than that. So, for this restaurant to be busy is understandable. The location it used to be was so cute and a place that was inviting. This location is in the middle of a run down Food Lion shopping center. No big deal as I have found some of the best hidden gems are found in places like that. The restaurant itself is mainly set up like a large diner. There are two separate huge rooms. It looks like it used to be some kind of theater or dance club or maybe an American Legion? The decor makes no sense and they still use handwritten tickets and you pay at the counter. It was definitely not very clean or neat and tidy. Not dirty where I wouldn't eat there, but ripped chairs and boxes in the halls. Still, none of this would have mattered. This restaurant definitely caters to fattening, hearty, soul food. I eat very healthy so it was hard for me me to find anything on the menu that I wanted. I chose the catch which was rainbow trout (never had it.) To be honest, I was afraid to try their salmon and tuna due to my high standards. The rainbow trout was not something I would order again but it was cooked well. The salad with it was a large size. My mom loved it while I found it just OK. She ordered chicken tenders and I could tell that they were homemade. I took a bite and they were delicious. I also took a bite of the macaroni and cheese and it was barely warm but had a decent flavor. The seafood platters and sandwiches people were getting looked really good. Like I said, you don't go here to eat healthy. My son had the pork chops here before and he loves them. My biggest concern was the lack of friendliness from our server (who was the owner.) No personality at all and I understand that she was busy but she acted as if I was annoying her by asking questions. I was thrown off by that. Maybe she was just having a bad day??? Anyways, come here for reasonable fattening food and don't expect a fancy, clean space. Don't expect great customer service but it's better than the fast food in town.

My family and I just moved to Burgaw a couple of months ago. Bandana's has become our spot about once a week. Everything we've ever ordered has hit the spot. From the Pudgie Pie Pizza to the shrimp plate, fish, Mac n cheese, and today we tried the home made Catalina Salad dressing! Boom! Great stuff and friendly staff!!! Our cups never went dry. Ever. That's a rarety these days. Even when you do have good wait staff. Sherry always takes care of us!

My wife and I were recently given a generous gift certificate for Bandanas. We decided to cash in on it today and were very happy with the outcome. My wife had a beautiful piece of fillet of flounder. The color of the breading was golden and appetizing and it was not greasy at all. At 3/8" thick, it was a quality fish purchase. The plate also included, slaw, hushpuppies, baked potato. I decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and added jalapenos sauteed. Thick with meat, cheese holding everything together with a fresh bun, not soggy. It was close to being the best I have every eaten. French fries were my side. Perfectly deep fried and everything hot. The decor is simple but clean, the waitress was attentive and we even spoke with ownership on two occasions. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because no one or no thing is ever perfect. Bandanas keep shooting for that fifth star.

We weren't very impressed. This was our second time here and it was just meh. Now I understand that prices are going up, but almost $17 for a Reuben?! I ordered a side salad and there was hardly anything on it. The Reuben was soggy and that ruined it for me. There was too much sauerkraut and it wasn't drained. You would think for that price they could get it right. The waitress was surly. We will never go back.

Came to Burgaw for a meeting and I am glad I found this place. The food was great and had big portions. I would recommend the jalapeño poppers as they were amazing. The staff was also friendly which made me feel like I was home. I will definitely come back here if I am in town.

I like this little out of the way place. The food was good and the service was great. The prices were a bit high for Burgaw but over all a great place to eat. They also have a nice little bar in the back

The food was okay but it wasn't the best for the price and the service was horrible!! We had to ask for more drink!

Wife had fried seafood combo, said it was excellent, Son had a child pepperoni pizza, thought he was gonna eat the plate! I had cod, fish and chips, very disappointed. Used to use different cod and it was best I ever had. This was some kind of cod roll, pre breaded. Way too much bread and mushy on inside. Asked if it was the fresh cod and was told it was but that was incorrect. Last 2 visits the fish and chips did not come close to what it used to be. That's a shame because I know how good it could be. Will have to think twice about going back. With the prices everything should be the best quality available. 4.99 add on for 4 scallops is kinda pricey as well. But they were excellent. I hope they get their quality back where it used to be.
