25 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Carolina Beach

“I’ve loved Saltfish on CB for years, but the new owners have really kicked it up to a whole new level. I hate to make it more difficult to get a reservation in this cute little tiki bar, but I gotta sing their praises. The service and food have gone from ‘really good’ to ‘omg I’m gonna dream about this meal forever’. I’m currently obsessed with their scallops- they’re served with a stunning curry sauce, fragrant rice, fresh citrus slaw, and Maduros. It’s a beautiful meal and perfectly executed every time. Last night we got the coconut shrimp app, the scallops and their chicken katsu, and then finished it off with their homemade rum cake with candied pineapple and fresh whipped cream. Everything was just incredible. They’re staffed better than they used to be- service is quick and friendly. Expansive menu of tiki drinks. Definitely recommend reservations even in the off season- it’s a tiny spot with limited seating. 10000/10 definitely recommend this little gem.“

“We had an excellent breakfast at Kate's Pancake House on May 4, 25. The two of us had eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, toast, and 1/2 of a Belgian waffle, 2 teas, and coffee. + tip=$54“

“Excellent service and very good food. Great location in walking distance from amusement park. Second time and plan to go again!“

“This place really fits the need for a good, simple, and affordable breakfast spot. Our service was phenomenal and the food was perfect and quite good for the price. It definitely feels like a small family place, and there were some spots that just felt a little worse for wear, but nothing that majorly distracted from the experience but enough to hesitate for 5 stars. Definitely would go back and quite good coffee for a small place!“

“A big THANK YOU to Sam from Cape Fear Boil Company for helping make our family beach trip spectacular! The shrimp, mussels and oysters were divine and not having to cook or clean up was a super treat. Do yourself a favor and let Cape Fear Boil cater your seafood boil meal. Thank you, Sam - we truly appreciate your professionalism and kindness! Everything was yumdilly! 🍤 🦪“

“Went for a 10K run right before stopping by on my way out of town - 10/10. Staff was welcoming and acknowledged me immediately upon entering.

Their selections are great and they even have the menu of what is “off top” surrounding the ceiling. A+“

“Love the people and the place. All good things!“

“Yummy food !!!! Was here visiting and will definitely be back !“

“Wonderful vibe to the place , friendly , quick service, great menu“

“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!“

“Awesome food served hot and fresh!!! Great prices too!“

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

“The food was delicious. The best I had all week during our trip. And the price was really great too. Not overpriced like a couple restaurants in the area. The only issue we had was that there was no waiting area that was comfortable. They have benches out front but the sun made it too hot to sit there and there is no waiting area inside the restaurant.“

“Food is great, multiple menu options, & reasonably priced. #eatlocal“

“My boys and I had dinner here on Saturday after the music festival. There was a short 15-minute wait to get a table, but it was well worth the wait. Our server was wonderful, and on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything, and refills were on the table before we were out. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the raspberry margaritas are the best I've ever had. Definitely going back on my next trip! Best meal we had on the Island this weekend!“

“Great service! Great food! Great atmosphere! Put this on your ‘must do’ list for Carolina Beach!“

“This is one of my favorite spots to grab a bite on the Island. The menu is awesome. I highly recommend that you stop in and try the new Wild Ranch Wing Sauce. In my opinion, it is the best around. The staff is very friendly and always makes it a top notch experience. Keep up the good work Pop’s!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Hurricane Alley!!! Great drinks and great food. Our bartender Nikki was so sweet and gave great service. The manager Joe set up heaters for us since we were so cold. Overall great place who cares about their customers.“

“Spent an hour or two longer here than we expected because the bartender Ashley was so friendly she recommended great food (Mahi Tacos) and made excellent drinks. Glad we came at the beginning of our week vacation so we can go back a few more times. Highly recommend“

“Definitely recommend! Asiago egg and cheese was excellent!“

“Such a great little spot! We love hanging out in the off season while it’s not so busy or hot. Great view, food and friendly staff. Wish prices were a little less, but it doesn’t deter us from coming to hang!
