Royal James Cafe

Nothing fancy but great cheeseburgers, beer and live music. Watch some good pool players while enjoying the food and music. Draft choices include some NC craft brews.

Excellent local dive bar. Decent beer selection. Awesome cheeseburgers! Good local music. I've been back here twice since my first review. STILL EXCELLENT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOCAL DIVE BAR WITH AWESOME BURGERS! Stopped in again twice over the last weekend. Once again this place have proved itself to be the place to hang out for beers and amazing cheeseburgers (and pool if you like playing). Live music both nights we were there.

The ultimate dive bar of all dive bars. Cash only, banging griddle, 5 pool tables, warn down floors, exposed construction.. DIVE BAR USA. Absolutely obsessed. Uncle and cousin brought us here under an extreme recommendation. Rolled in with a party of 7 coming off a day on the water. Absolutely epic, cheap eats and reasonable priced phenomenal food. O ya and it’s dog friendly! If I’m ever within an hour of here ILL BE BACK.

Two double cheeseburgers “all the way” order of fries and onion rings and two beers for $31. The service and the burgers were outstanding. This is a burger joint/pool hall with lots of local flavor.

So if you are in Beaufort NC anytime, you must do yourself a favor a grab a cheeseburger from this killer pool hall right in the heart of downtown Beaufort! They are so kind and always whipping up delicious food on the flat top! I recently took their raw patties with me on a quick trip to The Cabins at Cape Lookout National Seashore and wow can’t beat that burger and the salty air!
