“Great experience. 5 stars for the food and hospitality.“

“We arrived early evening on a Tuesday and the place was absolutely slammed. We put her name in for a table and went upstairs for a Tiki drink or two. Drinks were excellent. After we were seated our server, Riley took out drink order and reappeared quickly with water and our drinks. I have the captain’s platter and chose shrimp and clams and Anne ordered the shrimp and grits. Riley had warned us that it’s a large portion, but who knows what that really can be. Well, the food arrived promptly and the shrimp and grits truly was an enormous portion. Enough for two. Was creamy, cheesy, slammed full of shrimp, andouille and mushrooms. My shrimp and clams were lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Frankly, as busy as it was, I was surprised with the speed of service and the quality of the food. Absolutely recommend this place!“

“We both had the 1/2 pound hamburgers. Cooked almost to perfection.“

“Odd items to choose from! The dragon roll was excellent, as was the Mac n cheese, along with the crab burger... had a special name we have forgotten.
The 5 flowers strawberry was the best THC drink I've tried over several states!“

“We’ve eaten here year after year. Ate here tonight and it was as great as always. I had the grilled seafood platter and everything was perfect. Each fish tasted fresh and not dry. Has salmon, oyster Rockefeller, sea scallops, shrimp, a crab cake with green beans. Both filing and done right. Others in our group had lamb, duck, grouper, chicken and all enjoyed it. Definitely made with fresh ingredients every day. I also think anything less the a 10 rating is not appropriate.“

“Billy kids/Maxwell‘s is one of the most family, friendly oriented restaurant that you could ever experience with amazing fix it yourself salad bar along with some amazing fresh made seafood, and steak sitting outside of that he has a bar as well with the most friendliest bartenders and regulars, along with the most magnificent owner you will ever come by the biggest heart and will give the shirts off his back to anyone needed. Please do not miss out and come visit Billy the kids/Maxwell bar“

“My family and I are vacationing in N. Myrtle Beach and we truly enjoyed everything we got while eating at Adela’s. Plus the robot was just fun!“

“We stopped here after our dolphin watching cruise because it was close by and we were starving! Oh my goodness! I’m so glad we stopped. I had the BEST crab cake I have ever had. That’s saying a lot because I’m from Delaware and grew up on seafood. I’m very picky about crab cakes and don’t usually order them. But the description said Maryland style crab cakes so I took a chance. Best choice ever! They were amazing! My husband had the clam strips that was the special of the day and they were also amazing. So many he couldn’t eat them all. We shared a bowl of seafood bisque that was also delicious. Our waitress even split it into 2 bowls for us when we told her we were going to share. Food was served quickly and the staff was super friendly. I highly recommend stopping here!“

“Oh my goodness do not just drive by this place- stop and EAT!! Bread great, homemade ranch amazing, calamari divine, seafood frutti di mare wonderful. My husband got the chicken parm and he couldn’t get enough. Finished with tiramisu cake and I could not praise the quality, preparation, and service enough!! Our server was so attentive and the chef came out to ask how everything was. Will be loyal customers here.“

“My wife and I just had a fabulous lunch at the Castaway Grill in Ocean Isle, NC. The hamburger lunch plate was great and the house salad with homemade ranch dressing was very tasty. The smash burger was also a hit. Great service, great food and honest pricing. Will definitely dine there again.“

“Our family had the best meal all week during our vacation at Feast OIB! The owner/chef greeted us at the door and seated us. The wedge salad was delicious with homemade blue cheese dressing. The lobster risotto was wonderful and beautifully presented. The crab legs were super meaty and tender. There are great options for kids too! Amazing, friendly service with a smile. As we were leaving, the owner/chef was cleaning tables and making sure things were running smoothly. We were very impressed! I also love that the menu was clearly labeled with MANY gluten free options.“

“Ate here last night with a party of 6. Dropped $450 + tip. Food was very good but the server was unenthused and clueless; e.g. didn't know what items were GF for one in our party, didn't know where the fresh oysters were from, didn't know what a single malt scotch was and didn't know if the restaurant carried one (which they don't-really!!), couldn't articulate what was in the buerre blanc sauce, etc. It's a shame because she was a weak link in an otherwise good experience. As a former restauranteur it's a shame she was allowed on the floor without menu knowledge.“

“Great food and great music!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast burrito this morning, and my hubby an excellent corned beef eggs benedict! Ashley was awesome & a great source for all things Little River! When they get the boardwalk extended, this will be a great place to hang out!“

“Love Sharky’s Waterfront Bar & Grill!“

“I Have been trying to get to this place for a few months since we moved here and I’ll tell you It did not disappoint! The drinks the atmosphere and the service was phenomenal. I had a lemon drop martini and it was the best from that bar can’t wait to return Thanks for a great night ( pic of the salted caramel martini included which was also amazing !)“

“Great food and good views of the water“

“We went for Happy Hour yesterday and had a great experience! Cold beer and the apps were really good! Service was great! Prices are good too! We will definitely be back!“

“Decided to stop in at Harold’s for a quick refreshment after walking around up and down main street. Harold’s usually has a great crowd at night but this was early afternoon and only a few people were there at this time of day. The bartender was also the cook and handled things very nicely and was very kind and respectful. It was too late for lunch too early for dinner so we had a few cold drinks and moved on. It looks like a great weekend place or night time dance club. We’re not shaggers but we love the night time excitement. We will be returning. This place has been around for a long time and the locals love it. Give them a try. You’ll love it too.“
