Restaurants near Topsail Beach

“My son doesn’t like traditional birthday cake but could eat a gallon of icecream in one sitting. So we reached out to request an icecream cake for his 15th birthday. It was absolutely delicious! Probably the best icecream cake we have eaten yet. And we get one yearly!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

“First time at Larry’s and they definitely did NOT disappoint…from the appetizers to deserts. So many outstanding choices on the menu that there is something for everyone. If you can’t find something you like… you need to not go out to eat. The atmosphere is relaxed family oriented. The servers were fantastic and friendly. We tried many of the menu items and they were all fantastic. Make sure you leave room for dessert. We will most definitely be back again and again.”

“Great place with great food. The bread on the sandwich was cooked golden brown and wasn't hard like a hockey puck like other sandwich joints. Definitly going to tell everyone about this place.”

“My husband and I have been here multiple times over the last 5 years and tonight was so disappointing. The steak was the dryest piece of meat you could have imagined and the remaining entrees our table ordered were extremely underwhelming for the price. The "rack" of elk was two extremely small pieces for an astronomical price. A $400 meal that was overwhelmingly disappointing and was not a culinary experience as we've had in the past. Save your money and go elsewhere.”

“Great food! Amazing view. So awesome to see the local charter fishing boats bring in there catch! Awesome place to stay, dine, go on a tour with tucks water shuttle and fishing with Topsail Fishin Charters!!”

“This place is God sent!! Everything about this place proclaims the love of God. The food is amazing and authentic, but above all the people are beautiful!!! ”

“This is our new go to spot on the island! Polite staff and excellent handmade ice cream. Great Friday night outing ?Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level without a curb.”

“Amazing breakfast sandwiches and delicious hot coffee!! We bought a bag of Island blend for our stay- has a hint of coconut which is just enough. We're going back to get more to take back to Maryland with us!”

“Love this place ! As a coffee shop buisness owner I love to try new places when I travel . My first time here and it was beautiful, most amazing staff and my coffee was amazing . New favorite coffee shop in surf city .”

“I really liked the place. Something for everyone. It was crazy busy at 2 PM, so I'm not the only one! Stop by and see for yourself. Short walk to the beach.”

“A quaint little place with a real hometown welcome feeling. Everyone seemed to leave with a smile, and I soon joined them. The biscuits n gravy were hot n delicious, the bacon crispy, and the service friendly. Can't ask for much more.”

“As you can see from the other reviews the food and drinks are incredible here. But make sure to say hi to the owner. She is living the American dream and is a joy to speak with! We enjoyed our smoothies and breakfast burrito before leaving topsail, make sure to visit before you leave. You won't regret it!”

“On vacation. Just wanted some beer for the beach and found this gem. Amazing selection and the owner is super knowledgeable and awesome! If you love craft beer you’ll be like a kid in a candy shop.”

“Not a big fan of the chicken or the steak, both are too dry for me. The ground beef, pork and shrimp are great. Sunday brunch burritos are also great. Outside eating area is fantastic. Downsides are that it always takes a long time for the food to be delivered and it’s relatively expensive for what it is. I will keep going back, but if I don’t have 45 mins to spare, it’s not an option.”

“Breakfast and lunch- wonderful!!! And reasonably priced. Our family stops on our way out of Toosail Beqch every time and my favorite is the iced tiramisu latte- half sweet. Delish!”

“I love our regular visits to this coffee shop. It’s a cozy atmosphere with a variety of seating for either group or individual needs. The service is friendly with a tasty menu. It’s a joyful place that captivates all you’re looking for in a local coffee shop.”

“Had a crab boil for out first meal in Surf City. The instructions were easy to follow. The service at the location was excellent. They walked me through how to cook everything. I steamed it in beer and added boiled eggs to my steamer. It was a feast!”

“Second best pizza in surf city. Peaks on topsail is by far the best pizza. Oval & Ale overall is a great restaurant. Will always come back. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday. They have a nice little parking lot with free parking. The inside is quaint and cute. A decent amount of seating! The menu has lots of different sushi rolls and some other entrees. We ordered an appetizer of Rangoons that were very crispy! We then ordered two specialty rolls! They were pretty yummy. The food came out very quickly and the workers were all very nice. Prices were average ~$16 for each specialty roll. Overall a nice meal!”

“From Surf City, to a U-Haul and almost 1000 miles to Missouri. This beer is a must try. Will be sad not to get anymore of their IPA’s for a while. But 10/10 recommend Surf City Sunrise”

“I have visited Boombalatti's twice. An awesome experience each time. I was helped by the same lady and she remembered me. Lots of different flavors to choose from..”

“Great local seafood tex/mex walk up food stand essentially.Food is great, haven't had a bad thing on the menu and I've tried it all. The menu is pretty small but that keeps the service time with quick turn around. Highly recommend the the coconut rice in whatever you get.Prices are fair considering you are in central Surf City in the middle of everything touristy.Atmosphere, the seating is all outdoor covered and uncovered picnic, rail counter or small table seating. I don't know I'd say it's good for large parties and it's not a formal eating place.Highly recommend Shaka Taco, just wish the location was easier to get in and out of sometimes.Parking: There are 2 small lots for parking next to the building but they are hard to navigate if you have a large vehicle.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a handicap accessible ramp to the ordering window and they will bring your food to your table after ordering.”

“As always, it's a pleasure to be able to pull through the drive-thru and today after being waited on by an exceptionally attentive gentleman, I inquired as to what his name was... I was told that it was Savon, the owner. I didn't recognize him but he's just as kind and humble as ever. He's kept this bakery top-notch for years now and there he is hanging out the window. I asked if he wanted me to drive around as I hadn't called in my order and he replied that they'd already taken the orders of the 2 cars behind me. The Everything bagel was perfect and the bacon, egg, and cheese on the Everything was as well. You can tell that everyone is digging their job and tasks because of their smiles! Just a sweet morning at The Bagel Bakery!”

“We have been coming to Topsoil for years and this is the one of two reliably good places to eat on the island, in my opinion. We've never been disappointed and always leave full.Ironically, never had their oysters, but their shrimp is delicious and we always, *always*, get the fries for the app.Dietary restrictions: Great with allergens to ensure no cross contamination on the menu. We've never requested modifications, though.Parking: Parking can be difficult during on season, but never any problems off season. Be careful where you park, because some spaces are reserved for specific businesses.”

“Great barbecue at the beach! The staff is super friendly and attentive! I got the barbecue & chicken combo plate and it was fantastic! It had been a long day and I didn't feel like cooking that night so I let them do it for me and was not disappointed!Kid-friendliness: It's just a nice, family friendly restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: There are plenty of parking spaces with wheelchair access. There are tables for someone in a wheelchair chair to sit at.”

“I love Unwined! I make it a point to visit every time I'm in the area. Great place to chill with a glass (or bottle) of wine while listening to live music on the large deck. If you're not in the mood for wine, they have beer, coffee, ice cream and other delicious items. Highly recommended!”

“We just moved here and my husband and I were looking for a bar near our house. The venue was awesome. Live music,...Sublime covers..so good though! Food truck was awesome and crowd was. 30s 40s. Drinks discounted for ems and fire fighters. But affordable even without the discount. People were friendly and welcoming. Come here.... seriously. It was fun!”

“Long overdo review! It has always been a pleasure coming here. Their service is wonderful and of course the great coffee! Ordering ahead is also a plus when I am on a rush and there’s never been a delay.”

“Amazingly sweet family who cares deeply about the land, sea, and product. We ordered 3 dozen and she threw in 6 extra! Great way to support a local business and the environment!”

“Always good food and serviceVegetarian options: You can pick what you want like Chipotle or an Hispanic subway. So just don't get meat...Parking: Parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Roll on in!”
