Sweet & Unsweet Tea
Tucked along US Highway 117 in the heart of Burgaw, North Carolina, Bandana's Restaurant Grill is where hearty comfort food meets warm Southern hospitality. Whether you're a road-tripper passing through or a local looking for a reliable bite, Bandana's delivers a consistently satisfying experience. Their focus is on bold flavors, large portions, and a casual, family-friendly environment that keeps people coming back for more.
From the first bite of their famous onion rings—hailed as “the best in three counties”—to the sizzling slap-ya-momma shrimp appetizer, every meal starts strong. The menu offers classic American favorites that feel both familiar and indulgent: think loaded club sandwiches, cheesy Philly cheesesteaks wrapped in soft hoagie rolls, juicy Certified Angus Beef burgers, and rib-sticking ribs that fall right off the bone. For steak lovers, their 21 oz ribeye priced at $21.99 offers unbeatable value, paired with sides like hushpuppies, mac & cheese, or hand-cut fries. Add in seafood platters, pizzas, and a thoughtful kids menu, and you’ve got a dining spot that caters to everyone in the family.
Beyond the food, Bandana’s shines through its atmosphere. The service is fast, upbeat, and genuinely friendly—hallmarks of a staff that clearly cares. Tables are clean, outdoor seating is available, and the soft twang of country music adds to the charm. Local pride runs deep here. The restaurant is supported by—and in turn supports—the Pender County community, regularly giving back to schools and events, which helps reinforce its standing as more than just a dining destination.
In a world of chains and overhyped trends, Bandana’s offers something refreshingly authentic. It’s the kind of place where comfort food actually comforts, service comes with a smile, and even a quick stop feels like home. Next time you find yourself in Burgaw, let Bandana’s remind you what real American dining tastes like.
