Have been wanting to try Kai-Joe's since the first time I saw it. The atmosphere is the perfect beach setting, walk up window, cheerful smiling staff, and the smell... oof it get's your mouth watering. We had a large order as we were getting takeout for a large family. My husband forgot to get his dad's tacos on corn tortillas (Gluten Sensitive), the owner very nicely made them again on corn tortillas, and then even gave us the extra tacos, so generous. The portions were more than generous as well. I had the Firecracker Shrimp Nachos, they were not overly spicy, they were dripping in queso and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. We ate at a different place on Oak Island every evening we were there and Kai-Joes definitely takes the cake for the best spot on Oak Island. I wish I would've grabbed some pictures of my food before I gobbled it up, but it was just too good!

Staff was kind and accommodating as they could be.There isn't anything gluten free on the menu which is disappointing considering corn tortillas are safe. Unfortunately the food my guests had was pretty basic and looked nothing like the photos. The three different tacos they ordered were seasoned with the same store bought taco seasoning despite having different descriptions and proteins.
