7 Best Cafes near Holden Beach

“where's ruby !“

“Everything was great except the coleslaw. I've not had coleslaw that tasted like pickle slaw before. Not my favorite. And the portions were a little small. Otherwise, great little café with reasonable prices and tasty burgers. Would definitely return.

Kid-friendliness: Foods that most kids enjoy.“

“On family vacation and checked out this place. Flounder was great and the fried shrimp was very good. My daughter, after much debate, decided on a cheeseburger (there’s a story here and the staff was more than accommodating after she changed her mind from the chicken tenders). While I didn’t have the cheeseburger, it looked great and there was no complaints from the one who did.

For a store front restaurant, this one is hard to beat. The prices are reasonable for what you get. I will say, the slaw was different. Not my thing and I know slaw is a gamble whenever you go out but it was definitely different.“

“A very welcome addition to the island! I hated driving off island to find a good cup of coffee! (Years ago) Every year I hope Drift is still here. It is and the business is stronger than ever! *if you go around 10am-get the app and pre-order. The line is really long around 10am!“

“My wife & I ate breakfast there 5/10/24….I didn’t get the waitress’s name. Service was good. The food was delicious, my wife got blueberry French toast & I got a bacon,egg & provolone cheese croissant along with a side bowl of milk gravy both meals were delicious !! We would highly recommend !! Thank you Purple Onion for a great experience !! Yes, we even took home some baked goods !! Yummy !! May God bless y’all !! ❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Words can’t express how impressed I am with Art Catering and their staff. They catered our St Patrick’s Day party at our church. The food was delicious and there was so much people had the opportunity for seconds. The staff were so professional and helpful the day of the event. They were on time and were in NO hurry to leave when the event was over. They went above and beyond what was expected of them. Rosemary was so wonderful and patient with me leading up to the event. We even changed something 5 days before the event and she made it happen without a hesitation. I would rate them 10 stars out of 5 if I could. I would recommend them to anyone and I will use them for any event we need a caterer. -Ryan K Southport“
