“My first time to the new Salty Dog Bark and Bar in Holden Beach. Great food and a very cool bar! I will definitely be back!”

“Went to mermaids with some
Friends after a nice beach weekend. Most of the group eats seafood but about two of us do not. We got the Paradise Sunset drink and it is delicious! Has a nice coconut flavor and not too strong. I got the gyro and it was AMAZING!!!! 🤩 one of the better gyros I have ever had. I was nervous given they mostly serve seafood but it was worth it! The hush puppies are a MUST! They are a small one but the serving size of everything we had was moreeeeee than enough. I recommend eating here, especially if you have a mixed group that eat seafood and those that don’t.”

“Wow! I have been coming to this area on vacation for 4 years. I had heard of Themis bakery but, I didn’t expect it to live up to the hype. I was WRONG! This is a real bakery! Cinnamon rolls are delicious and served hot! We tried a large sampling of everything (2 types of cinnamon rolls, crumb cake, apple fritter, key lime pie, and a brownie) and we loved it all. We are planning to stop again on our way out of town.”

“This was our first time here but I can assure you that it won’t be our last. The food was delicious, made to order and the service was excellent. We all had cheeseburgers (hand patted) which was the best I’ve ever eaten, believe the reviews. Fries and onion rings were also great. We also were given a couple of hotdogs to try which were equally as delicious. The prices were very reasonable.”

“Great pizza and wings. Awesome owner and staff. You feel like you are part of an extended family while enjoying delicious food.”

“Excellent pizza almost as good as Ct's Pepe's which is where I learned about great pizza. 2 areas of improvement needed. 1) spread sauce and toppings farther out on the crust. 2) Cook the crust longer to get it brown or more cooked instead of soft. Needs crunch.”

“I haven't played there after the greens were punched a few weeks ago. I made the tee time with Andrew at the pro shop on the phone. A very nice young man, Andrew. He then called me right back after my initial call to inform me that he neglected to inform me about the greens being punched. Out here, you're lucky to be informed about any concerns on the course condition. Excellent Customer Service. Thank you, Andrew, for your concern about the fact I was aware, so I might have an enjoyable round. I'll let you know tomorrow about the course, which is always in pristine condition as well as challenging. It's one of my favorites.”

“Food is great, service is great.”

“Whoa. Friday - fried flounder and fresh cut french fries. Slaw. The very best fried flounder I’ve ever eaten. We vacation in Oak Island. Fridsy lunch at Sea Biscuit.”

“Went to The Scoop Sunday morning and ordered a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich just as I have numerous times through the years. I was told that they no longer served it on toast, so I would have to choose a bagel. I asked why I couldn't get it on toast and I was told... "They were selling to many of them on toast, and not enough on bagels, so they quit offering it on toast. That way they would have enough bread to make a kids' grilled cheese". I am still shaking my head!!”

“Best food and service around 💜”

“Ate there twice in one week. It would be nice if the staff greeted or acknowledged you when you enter and acted like they appreciate your business. No smiling faces here. But breakfast buffet is decent.”
