What locals are saying
Beachside Burgers & Bar is a resort-captive spot inside Wild Dunes' Grand Pavilion — locals and visitors agree the oceanfront views are the main event, but the food and pricing draw consistent grumbles: burgers are decent, fries cost extra (and sometimes aren't even available), and cocktails get mixed marks. Non-resort guests have noted they need a key card to access the Grand Pavilion, making it less of a neighborhood bar and more of a resort amenity that charges accordingly.

The oceanfront setting at the end of the Grand Pavilion boardwalk does most of the heavy lifting, but the Beachside Burger earns its own praise — 'to die for' and 'one of the best views of the beach' appear in the same breath. The scallop special and blackened swordfish pull in seafood-minded diners, though the price-to-portion math (fries not included, no small check for three) trips up more than a few first-timers.
