“Cape Fear Boil Company was absolutely AMAZING for our wedding reception! 🦐💜 The food was incredible, our guests loved it, and it was the perfect fit for our laid-back beach wedding. And a huge shoutout to Jayme! He was fantastic from start to finish—so friendly, helpful, professional, and made everything so easy for us. He helped make our reception one of the most memorable parts of our wedding weekend. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re considering Cape Fear Boil Company for an event, DO IT! You won’t regret it! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best salads and burgers!💕“

“It was my first time eating there for lunch and there Ruben was the best I have eaten around NC. It's a must try.“

“This place was close to our hotel, and the service was great. The food tasted good overall, but we ordered the Hook’s Way dogs with chili, slaw, mustard, and onions, and they were cold when we bit into them. It seemed like they had been sitting in a steamer or prepared ahead of time. I had never had red hot dogs before, so that was a little different for me, but the flavor was good.
I would definitely give this place another try because it might have just been an off day for us. The food has potential, but hopefully next time our hot dogs will actually be served hot!“

“My hubby and myself been to SeaWitch a couple times and I’ll say the experience was great and both times Amber was our bartender and she’s absolutely amazing! Definitely suggest this bar to everyone! And again thank you Amber for the great service!!!!“

“Our group of three ate here on a spring vacation. We liked it very much, we ate here twice! The place was small, yet not crowded. No wait for a table! One time there I had bacon and eggs , yummy! Another time there I had the BLT . Delicious! My parents and I enjoyed watching the people walking around the streets outside of our booth window and the restaurant noise level was not too loud. This made it easy for us to talk about our trip plans. The best part was our service was spot on… staff did awesome job on taking orders and getting them not only correct yet also out quick . Thank you KP House for giving us a nice trip memory!“

“Oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls and cold beer! All delicious and wait staff friendly! Enjoyed ourselves!“

“My husband and I visited Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar Wednesday night for the first time. We sat over the water and WOW the view was incredible! We shared an appetizer of calamari that was cooked to perfection! Ava was our bartender, she was very kind and shared the history of the pier with us. Overall a wonderful experience. Will definitely be returning for dinner soon!“

“Every vacation to CB we take we always stop at Michael’s! My son had his first crab cakes here and it’s been a tradition ever since. We make sure to come by everytime we visit!! A staple for sure. It’s always a wonderful time and the staff are always amazing.“

“Always delivers great food and service. Reasonable prices and looks out for all of the locals year around. Our #1 choice for chilling with good folk!“

“Had the pleasure of dining at the Sandspur while we were visiting last week!!! Made sure to check them out again & again could not get enough of the delicious food, they have bands that play on their outdoor area on Friday nights which was really fun, we enjoyed our visit and will plan on visiting again soon!“

“Jasmine was very kind and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the meal. Good food and atmosphere.“

“Today was my first day trying out the donuts. The strawberry cream cheese wasn’t my favorite. The service was great! The guy that helped me actually recommended the strawberry cream cheese. So that makes me wonder if they were just trying to get rid of them. Either way the chocolate Boston Cream was amazing.“
