45 Best Seafood Restaurants near Belville

“Great food and amazing service.“

“This evening we were excited to bring friends who had never been to Seabird, and it was my wife’s birthday! The food did not disappoint. Our friends loved it. It was good to see a restaurant with a sense of humor when they brought out a “no calorie” birthday cake! (A lit candle stuck to a dessert plate)“

“We were on vacation and came across Rx when searching for clean, natural food, and I’m so glad I found them! We never go out and always cook at home, but we had peace of mind eating there. We had fried shrimp, potato salad, slaw, fries, salad and a cheeseburger and it’s the best we’ve had in a restaurant! Definitely the best food if you’re looking for clean ingredients, and our server was awesome! We will be back again!“

“It was PERFECT ! even the wine paired perfectly with the flavors of the meals. I just visited this place yesterday and I can’t wait to go Back!“

“Visited 8/16/25, Greenville, NC. The food was excellent.. hot, fresh, and flavorful. Our waitress, Ramsie K, was excellent. Speed of service was excellent. We will definitely visit again.“

“I can’t say enough about how amazing On Thyme Restaurant is! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is packed with delicious options that cater to all tastes, but the is an absolute must-try! Have you tried the PHILLY EGG ROLLS?? The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s clear that the team of chefs put their heart and soul into every dish. The staff is attentive, and eager to ensure you have the best dining experience. I selected On Thyme for my work Christmas Party and the staff fell in LOVE with everything. On Thyme delivers every time!! If you haven’t been yet, stop by and check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Incredible food, very flavorful and perfect. oysters on half shell the best I had ever eaten. 10 out of 10 on service and experience. It was worth it!!!“

“Today was the first time visiting Poki. I have never been to an establishment with these protein options. Highly recommend this place. The food and service was excellent.“

“Owner is one of the kindest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Food is amazing, the lobster rolls are the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had. 100% recommend. Amazing food and service.“

“I really like going to Molly Pitchers. The food is good. The atmosphere is good. However don’t go if you have a large group! You will wait over an hour for your food and I have to say our waitress had the personality of a doorknob 😞! Might think about going somewhere else next time.“

“Maybe the best lunch I’ve ever experienced. The flavors of the BLT Arepas Tapas were really unforgettable. I’ll be back with guest!“

“Dinner tonight at Fish Bites was fantastic! Grouper, risotto, green beans! We had one of their amazing desserts, lemon blueberry cake! Very, very busy, service was great and so friendly!!“

“I just might be addicted. I had the Brussels side salad and mahi-mahi with garlic potatoes. I honestly didn’t need anything after the Brussels and bread. That salad is perfection. I’ll be placing to-gos of just that in the future. The fish and potatoes were perfection. Leave the chimichurro (green) sauce alone. Lemon butter with capers, for the easy win. Matt, our server, was attentive and so helpful. We walked right in and got seated. I’m so happy I took my dad here for Father’s Day!“

“Unmatched uniquely gorgeous Riverside view & charm together with extremely delicious fresh chef seafood & other entrées after a cup of she-crab soup! This is one of my most favorite restaurants Ever- considering the entire dining experience of the atmosphere, the food and the wait staff! Don’t allow a few negative reviews influences too quickly you when you read the next many hundreds of glowing reviews (many accompanied by photos of obviously extremely delicious chef inspired seafood dishes, and other non-seafood entrées! I lived at nearby Wrightsville Beach & had my office at the State Port in Wilmington for two years. Although there are many other great seafood & other type restaurants in the Wilmington Wrightsville beach area that I love, the ‘Pilot House’ Restaurant was, & still is, at the very top of my list favorite restaurant list in the U.S.! The unbeatable atmosphere of sitting out in the Cape fear River together with the fresh and delicious ‘She-Crab soup’, unique selection of other very fresh fish entrées really made my day! Also every client that I entertain there loved the unbeatable, unique atmosphere and foods that described! I love both lunch, with occasional ships passing by and dinner, particularly with the lights on the river at night!“

“I have eaten Sushi all over the US as well as Asia and (not to mention) Japan. This place is very authentic and the sushi is just amazing. I only order sushi but my husband always gets a cooked dinner and he says they are amazing as well! The staff is attentive and the sushi chef (I believe owner) is fantastic. I sometimes get supermarket sushi as Genki is not real close to me. I used to appreciate it was “just supermarket sushi” but after Genki (10-12 times) it’s real hard to get a quick supermarket fix. Actually right now I’m salivating!“

“Food was fantastic. Service was prompt and friendly. This place gives local family owned vibes. Family friendly. GLUTEN FREE MENU was fantastic! I ordered the fried flounder and enjoyed every bite! The fried seafood sampler was fin-tastic! lol! 10/10 would highly recommend for any seafood lover!“

“We were there June 13-25. Absolutely enjoyed every bite of my meal last night!!!! Server Lila was excellent!! Plan to visit again !!!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious and portions were quite large. Its a cozy little place and the owners and staff are very kind and gracious. We will be back for sure.“

“This is literally my new favorite place. The food was so fresh and delicious, Im assuming the owners, were so kind and this restaurant felt so homey I will definitely be returning. 10/10 recommend checking them out and supporting a local restaurant“

“10/10 recommend! We had the best Valentine’s Day dinner here. The space is beautiful and airy, and the food was incredible. The Oysters Millionaire (that salmon mousse!!) and the Seacuterie board were the perfect start. I treated myself to the Surf N’ Turf with lobster thermidor and it was so decadent and delicious. It was exactly the high-end but laid-back night out I needed. Can’t wait for brunch!“

“I just ate the best crab cake sandwich I have ever had, my own included. Tons of lump crab meat, no shell, with a crisp coating. Highly recommend and totally worth the price.“

“Such a great affordable selection of fresh seafood! The staff is always great and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome fresh fish, crabs, shrimp..... They have it all!“

“First time my husband and I had ever eaten here and it was delicious and the prices were good. The staff were amazing especially when we accidentally dropped our leftover spaghetti and meatballs. They gave us a brand new one on the house even though they didn't have too and we didn't ask. We will definitely be going back and I recommend this place to anyone.“

“my husband and I are setup at the riverfront holiday market and just had the wings and I had the fried porkchop sandwich at the Riverfront holiday market and they both are wonderful. my husband said the wings are seasoned so well and cooked perfectly he didnt need dipping sauce. the porkchop sandwich is fried perfectly and is large. next time you see them somewhere, you should stop in and get you some of their great food“

“The pasta was excellent, and the atmosphere was too! My partner and I went here for dinner on a recent trip to Wilmington from Western NC and it did not disappoint. The meat mixture in the bolognaise was perfectly tender, and the sauce was a great balance of parmesan and fresh tomato flavors. The richly colored, intimate interior of the restaurant was a nice touch that made our meal special. I'd definitely recommend a stop in for a meal while visiting (and would be there often if I was a local)!“

“I’ve decided to come out & try a Different Mexican Restaurant. I’ve eaten here on Saturday, 4/4 for Lunch. I was skeptical about coming here because of the Lower Google Rating here. But, I ended up trying this Place out for myself. I’ve sat at the Outdoor Dining Area, which I absolutely enjoyed. The Customer Service was good, & the Restaurant has a good bit of space. I’ve felt so relaxed while sitting in their Outdoor Dining Area. I really loved sitting outside. Also, the Food was excellent! My Tacos were great, & the Meats were flavorful & not overcooked. The Rice & Beans were great! Also, their Agua Frescas were excellent, & I definitely loved their Cucumber-Lime Agua Fresca, which is rare to find around most Mexican Restaurants. Mi Rey definitely didn’t disappoint, & I’ve had a great experience. I will definitely return. I think that I’ve found me a New Mexican Spot here in Wilmington. I’d highly recommend this Restaurant. 👍🇲🇽💯“

“I worked for this place 5 months. The roaches in the back are overwhelming. They leave the door open letting any little creatures inside. The owners tried stealing my pay stubs so I wouldn't see them funneling my leftover money. Everyone that works in the back is great, but they're slaves. They have to work constantly and immigrated illegally. 2 of the servers are also Asian immigrants. So the Asian owner can spy on the American servers. The owner doesn't like Black people so she would try to give the white tables to the Asian servers because apparently " black people don't tip" ...verbatim what they say on the low. My girlfriend is black so since day 1 I've been resentful of the racist undertone. The crabhouse was also stealing money from my leftover paystubs. They thought i wouldnt ask for them and quickly scrambled the paystubs together after 48 hours. They wrote me a check for my stolen/missing money. The seafood is all frozen from Ecuador and they most likely eat their own feces or human feces in a farmed environment. It's a scam at best, for employees, patrons, or even takeout orders. This is garbage carcinogenic fake seafood that just sits for God knows how long in a freezer. The ranch is garbage and spoiled, the owners are cannibalistic slum lords and they confiscate our phones as soon as we walk in the door so the employees cannot show the roaches on the back end. If you enjoy food that destroys your body, and intestinal health by all means indulge. Also if you send the food back they will wash the food in the sink then re boil it to make it look fresh. I had to send an order back and Lena [ the chinese manager, that uses a fake name " Carmen"] will wash it in the sink and re-serve it to you personally. The lady stormed out and said I was disrespectful for serving half eaten food they put back in the sink n boiler pot. I was livid..because she was absolutely valid to feel this way. The harsh truth is this place is garbage food being served like top shelf caviar, brought to you by racist folk who only care about $$$ and your hopeless addiction go their toxic food. The assistant manager is also a drama queen. Her personal life is way too involved in the restaurant. I feel she has a complexity disorder. Always bringing their kids in to work and talking about guests behind their backs. It's completely unprofessional. Everyone deserves respect and dignity. Very sad way to live.. I wish you the best...“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great service and food!“

“Best Chinese takeout in Wilmington! Always delicious and great service ☺️ my favorite is the garlic chicken (extra spicy!), the crab Rangoon, and the DELICIOUS egg rolls!!!!“

“This was a very hospitable restaurant and with a great atmosphere. Came here during the Azalea festival. They were busy, but set up an extra table in the shade just for my party. Live music was on point and the food delicious. Definitely recommend the Shrimp Po-Boy“
