14 Best Seafood Restaurants in Carolina Beach

“We found this restaurant via Google search. We showed up without a reservation(sorry). We were welcomed and offered two seats at the bar. What a fantastic experience. Miranda was our server and there was nothing she could have done to make our dining experience more special. We spoke with the owners, the chef, and several servers, and everyone there made sure our dining experience was perfect. The drinks, the wine, the apps, the food(tuna nachos, crab fritters and shrimp Seoul bowls), everything was spectacular. We are already planning our next visit!“

“😍Just lovin' on a coastal boil, NC style.“

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

“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.“

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

“My sister and I ate here in late March. There were some locals at the bar, but not very busy for a Friday night. We ordered onion rings that were the best I’ve ever had. The sauce on the side made me want to lick the plate. We both ordered the catfish, which was lightly breaded and exceptional. The slaw was good and it came with yummy hush puppies and fries, as well. Took half of it home in a box. The server was so friendly and quick with everything even though she covered the bar and the dining room. I’m glad we gave this place a try.“

“Great service, stylish decor, awesome food & stellar martinis. Try the surf board appetizer & the key lime pie martini“

“The best salads and burgers!💕“

“Ive eaten around the world, worked decades in the restaurant industry, and was raised in Americas beef country. Lake Park is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The menu, the service, the drinks; simply incredible. Do not sleep on going here. You will thank me later.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hosted our wedding after-party at the Silver Dollar Rooftop in mid October and it was absolutely perfect! Mitchell, the manager, was incredibly easy to coordinate with—he checked in on our drink preferences the week of and even offered to help coordinate food. We ended up bringing in our own food, and the Silver Dollar team worked seamlessly with the pizza place to make sure everything was set up and ready before our guests arrived.

We had the entire rooftop deck to ourselves, which was amazing and provided tons of space for our ~100 guests after the wedding. Downstairs was still lively with karaoke, but they went above and beyond by letting the bridal party jump the karaoke line, which made the night feel extra special.

The service was fantastic, the vibes were spot-on, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They truly made it as personal and stress-free as possible. We really appreciated how easy they made everything from start to finish.

This is already one of our favorite bars in Carolina Beach—you truly can’t beat the karaoke vibes—and we would recommend the Silver Dollar Rooftop 100 times over. Thank you for helping make our wedding night unforgettable!“
