Restaurants in Atlantic Beach

“Went there for anniversary dinner-1st time visit. Superior in every respect, Will be back and will spread the word. What a delightful experience!”

“My wife and I were here last night for our anniversary dinner, second time dining here to celebrate. I cannot say enough how impressed we were. From the warm greeting we received the second we walked in to the speedy seating, to the cozy atmosphere . The wait staff was wonderful, informative, and friendly. The food? Incredible! Lobster and crab dip very tasty ....the Scallops were truly amazing and fresh cooked to absolutel PERFECTION. Tuna, amazing . Veggies, perfect. Everything was hot and served very quickly. To top it off the owner took the time to speak with us at the end of our dinner. He was incredibly nice and educated us on seafood. One of the things that really speaks volumes about this restaurant was him and the fact that the waitress told us later it's a wonderful place to work and the staff is treated well! That's rare to hear. Great job by all and we will be back”

“Great place excellent service. The food was very good and the waitress was awesome. Even during a busy time we were seated pretty quickly would highly recommend!”

“On a beach trip from Raleigh, my friends and I will never miss a YUMMY trip to SUB TROPICS. And there are many! It is conveniently located at the beach on the main road, Ford Macon Road en route to the Circle and other Atlantic Beach public shorelines. Beachgoers can shop local and stop in for something refreshing and will love colorful Sub Tropics - a sandwich, wrap and smoothie spot that's located in the heart of Atlantic Beach, just off the Atlantic Beach Causeway. I love what one review on google said, "cheerful customization from the chief, Charles." I also added a pic of some dolphins we saw. Be kind to the animals tho and be sure pick up all of your trash while at the beach. Stop in to SUB TROPICS for a treat on your next beach vacay.”

“Pretty darn good food.”

“Nick, Sabrina and the crowd are the absolute best. I love Roma Pizza!!!”

“Got a very good breakfast sandwich with country ham. Honestly could be shared if you're not ravenous. The service was very fast and they handled being busy well”

“My favorite place in NC since the first time I walked in the door. Such nice folks, fantastic beer selection, dog friendly, and friendly clientele. Home away from home.”

“The fabulous bartender Ty at the Barnacle freshly grates nutmeg in Painkillers ifkyk”

“100%, love going to “the TURTLE “”

“Stopped by Bella Pizza and Subs while we were in the area and grabbed their 2 slices and a can of soda deal for $5.99. And when they say slices, they mean SLICES — these things are LARGE! 😂🍕 Honestly, you can’t beat that deal, especially this close to the beach.

We ordered ours to go, and the service was quick and easy. It’s your typical little hole-in-the-wall pizzeria near the coast — nothing overly fancy, just a laid-back spot to grab some good pizza without spending an arm and a leg.

One thing to know before you go: they are cash only, but they do have an ATM inside if you don’t have any on you.

Large slices, fast service, and a heck of a deal for $5.99. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re nearby and looking for a quick, affordable bite! 🍕”

“Our large group of 9 ladies had a wonderful dinner! The food was great and the drinks were tasty waitress was friendly!”

“The cinnamon rolls are HUGE, and they are so good. Great customer service, very nice people and great vibes throughout the shop. The coffee was phenomenal, great rich coffee flavor with the perfect amount of cream and syrup.”

“Good ice cream and always supporting local causes! Highly recommend!”

“Walt was a great bartender! He was so personable and knowledgeable. The beers were great! This is now my go to when I hit Atlantic Beach!”

“Prolly the best Mexican food I've ever had. Amazing! My son is over 9 so they charged $2 more for a kids meal which shouldn't be allowed.. But food was amazing!”

“Delicious and generous portions (saved half before photos) after a long day at the beach. Highly recommend and well suited for takeout or pickup. Dumplings are extremely good.”

“Great local bar. I’m continuously amazed at how affordable it is. You can get two glasses of wine for like $8. You aren’t going to find prices like that anywhere else. Great staff and atmosphere. Perfect location. Cash only”

“Mango tea with popping lychee is A+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very clean establishment! They even sell boba plushies!”

“One of our favorite spots to grab a beer and a bite to eat when we come to Atlantic Beach. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“The staff was awesome!!!!!”

“Just had our first breakfast at Earlybirds Breakfast SP. The staff is so nice and the service was super fast! Food was yummy! Can’t wait to go back and try the biscuit and gravy 😁”

“Great ice cream 🍦 🍨 & Excellent service!!! Highly recommend the Lemon 🍋 Cheesecake Bar ice cream”

“This is an addition to a previous review from a year or so ago. I now live in the area, and have found that the service and food is just as good as when I was in AB as a visitor. It is winter-time yet the food is still top notch and the service outstanding. My mother loves the Three-C chowder which is chunky, creamy, and chock full of seafood (I had to get in my 3-Cs!). The shrimp dinner has an ample portion of shrimp and the sides are a nice addition. Burgers are cooked as you ask, and tater tots make it an awesome meal. The wait staff in here are incredibly friendly, efficient, and personable. I still highly recommend On the Rocks as the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and the service is impecable. These ladies are awesome! For a great place to eat during the winter as well as the busy season, I will continue to go to On the Rocks.”

“Staff is super friendly and very courteous. Crab Dip was awesome!! ❤️”

“This was our first lunch on our family beach trip & it did not disappoint! Food was delicious & fresh and sitting right on the ocean was great. The hush puppies were fantastic! The service was very good. Definitely a winner!”

“Top notch New York style pizza which is hard to find in North Carolina. Went in with low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. Big pies and perfectly folding slices baked just to the right crispness.”

“Always a great place, an authentic Mexican restaurant. Love the blend of flavors and the freshness of the food. Recommended it highly!!!”
