Restaurants near Holden Beach

“Fantasy Isle is fabulous! I have been coming to Holden Beach for many years and always visit here for ice cream at least a couple of times during our stay. I love their ice cream and have enjoyed several rounds of putt putt golf here. I love that they are trying to encourage you to visit their neighboring business even though that business doesn't seem to have the same communal attitude. Thanks for trying to be the "bigger person" Fantasy Isle!”

“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.”

“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!!”
