Restaurants in Emerald Isle

“We ordered “The Clamshell” with the clams and mussels mix and followed the instructions as printed. Everything was absolutely perfectly prepared and over the top delicious. We used the entire seasoning cup provided and steamed it in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale and it came out great. The potatoes sopped up the broth and it was yummy. We didn’t need the supplied cocktail sauce or butter. Everything was so flavorful. We highly recommend!!”

“Soft shell crab sandwich, seared tuna sandwich, cheese curds, fries and yummy drinks! The hype is real! So good!”

“I love coming into Bar 1957! Great drinks, the best bartenders and love the decor and atmosphere!”

“These are without a doubt the BEST bagels. They’re soft, fresh, and the cream cheese is incredibly fluffy. The staff is also so sweet, hardworking, and quick! The cheddar bagel is out of this world.”

“Great local ice cream spot! Love it during the offseason but nothing beats summer night ice cream cones!”

“I miss coming here from when I used to live on Emerald Ilse. Great place to cool down and get out of the sun. Great slushy's also. It been almost 13 years since I've been back. But I can still remember this place.”

“I had the best experience at this location Mr and my boys were here for spring break and decided to stop in for some of our favorite flavors. The cashier was so polite! And the cones were super fresh! We definitely will be back this summer!!!”

“Sweetest people work here. Loved the shop. Loved the mini claw machine. Loved the surprised lattes they made me. I don’t recommend coming home after vacation lol.”

“I moved years ago and I still can't find a place that has the honey WHOLE wings like this place! I miss it! I've only gotten the honey wings, ragoons and white rice. I can't speak for any of the other items.”

“Croissants are so good! Very busy restaurant, there was a wait. Ok location, have to park in shared lot with other businesses & walk a ways. Food was good, nothing special. Would eat there again. Waitress was nice.”

“We ate at The Trading Post last night. The food was great and the staff was friendly. What stood out the most was how well the staff worked together. They were helping each other, filling glasses and delivering food for each other, the hostess never stopped moving…constantly checking to see if wait staff needed assistance. A great overall experience.”

“The best hunger I've had in a long time. Waitress was super sweet”

“Hostess was a jerk..jersey... don't want any part of that”

“These people make the best pizza on the island. And they are one of the few place on the island that won't serve you with a fake smile. It was amazing working with you Shane.”

“I have been several times when it first opened . Returned back last night and was disappointed . Server was sweet but food took way too long. The boneless wings were cold and tough, chicken sandwich was dry. Chicken wraps were good . Spent $110 on 4 plates & 2 beers. Wasn’t our best experience. 🥴”

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.”

“Everything on the menu is great. Great service too.”
