“I got the platter with BBQ and shrimp. I asked for hush puppies instead of fries. Bbq and slaw were delicious. Shrimp were pretty good. Hush puppies were like eating grease balls. I was so sad- I don’t know if they need to drain them more or what. We will come back - I will get the BBQ again.“

“We went for the first time last night and it was very good! We had the Captain's Platter and everything was cooked to perfection. Our server was great, we will be back.“

“They have two gentlemen on their dock to help you tie up. When we finished lunch my power steering hose leaked. Nick the dock worker helped me get back on the water big shout out to Nick at Provisions. The food was great it our go to place from the water.“

“We arrived early evening on a Tuesday and the place was absolutely slammed. We put her name in for a table and went upstairs for a Tiki drink or two. Drinks were excellent. After we were seated our server, Riley took out drink order and reappeared quickly with water and our drinks. I have the captain’s platter and chose shrimp and clams and Anne ordered the shrimp and grits. Riley had warned us that it’s a large portion, but who knows what that really can be. Well, the food arrived promptly and the shrimp and grits truly was an enormous portion. Enough for two. Was creamy, cheesy, slammed full of shrimp, andouille and mushrooms. My shrimp and clams were lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Frankly, as busy as it was, I was surprised with the speed of service and the quality of the food. Absolutely recommend this place!“

“This particular restaurant warmly welcomed my wife and I to the Holden Beach community nearly three years ago. During this period they have consistently and very welcomingly provided us with the absolute best fresh, hot, and tasty seafood dinners, served with a variety of sides, and hands down, the very best homemade banana pudding I have ever tasted!“

“Inlet View Bar & Grill — Caroline Was the Reel Southern Catch
We cruised in by rented pontoon, docked like we actually knew what we were doing, and headed up to the patio overlooking the inlet. The view was gorgeous, but Caroline was the real show‑stopper. She’s the sweetest little Southern belle — warm, charming, and the kind of server who sprinkles “hun,” “darlin’,” and sunshine into every interaction. If hospitality had a heartbeat, it’d sound like Caroline greeting a table.

Two of us ordered the fried fish & shrimp combo with sweet potato fries, and both plates were a total shore thing — crispy, flavorful, and gone before anyone could say “pass me a napkin.” Everyone left full, happy, and already plotting our next pontoon‑powered arrival.

Between the waterfront breeze, the great food, and Caroline’s sweet‑as‑tea service, this place hit the spot. She didn’t just serve the meal — she anchored the whole experience.“

“We have had issues finding places we like (a lot of the places around her have been bland). We came from an area where we were pretty spoiled with great restaurants and Wing & Fish has been the only place so far that is comparable. We have been here three times so far and they have been very consistent each time. The food is great, and the staff are friendly and attentive.“

“Exceptional food and service!! Can’t beat the view either! Definitely will be coming back soon.“

“Love Sharky’s Waterfront Bar & Grill!“

“We love Jeromes's. We go 3-4 times a week. Suggestions to make it better: 1. Real Butter instead of the Spread; 2. Be more consistent with the $10 specials. We are never sure if there is going to be a special, or what the special is going to be. We also enjoy the ribs, senior seafood plate, and beef tips. The salad bar is great. Excellent local restaurant without driving a long way.“
