“This is a hidden Gem. We had the oyster sandwich and flounder sandwich. Both were loaded and delicious. The owner came by to see how we liked our food and told me he has plans for a raw bar and sushi next summer. He also said he planned to open the outside and have bands. If you are looking at this give them a try. A+”

“Such great food and atmosphere right on the beach every year I visit topsail I will make sure to visit Buddy’s Crab House #buddyscrabhouseandoysterbar @buddyscrabhouse&oysterbarinsuefcity @buddys_surf_city #buzzybooth”

“How did we ever survive in on Topsail Island without Maine Lobstah Shack!!! Having spent years in the New England region, I know good from great when it comes to Lobster! The lobster rolls are to die for and the lobster bisk is the best I've ever had. On top of that, it is a wonderful family owned and family run business. At the end of the day, it is the quality of the food that keeps us coming back! Treat yourself!!! Definately a five star experience!!”

“We ♥️ Sundial! We have been visiting Topsail for years and it’s always a treat to stop into Sundial while we are there. Some of our favorite drinks are the bulletproof, The Sundial, and the Vanilla Rose cold brew… My kids always enjoy a cake pop or two! The fun sugar cookies are always a nice addition! I recently had a raspberry peach muffin that was absolutely divine! The staff is always friendly and efficient. The space is always bright, clean, and welcoming. 10/10! Can’t wait to visit again in a few months!”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Scoops is by far the best place for ice cream on the island - or even the state! I always end up taking some all the way back home to Charlotte in our cooler - that’s how good it is! I am dairy free and this is the one place I don’t feel neglected when my family goes out for ice cream. There are lots of regular & several dairy free flavors to choose from daily… all amazing. The DF is made with coconut milk & coconut cream, which is the ONLY way to make DF ice cream, IMO. U literally can’t even tell it’s DF... & I have a husband & two teens to vouch for that! Scoops is also the sweetest family business - everyone who works there is always super friendly & smiling as they prepare your treats.💗 This place is a gem.💎”

“Seriously the cutest and coziest place to have coffee, a treat, and playtime! Came here with my 5 year old daughter and 1.5 year old niece and they both had so much fun. The coffee is fantastic, the cheese danish was amazing, and the staff is so sweet. I will make the 40 minute drive from Hubert any day for such a wonderful place. So glad we gave it a try”

This gave my family a last hoorah with Grandma, Uncle and Aunt! Phenomenal food to fit everyone’s appetite, excellent service and efficiency! Outdoor dining was completely covered and peaceful!”

“My wife and I stopped by to grab a bite and had a wonderful experience. The food was really good, the service quick and the atmosphere was our favorite part. We will definitely be back”

“Great food, even better people and atmosphere. As locals, we are weekly visitors. (well maybe more like three times a week on occasion.) We have NEVER not been satisfied. Ask my husband- it’s hard for ME to be satisfied. lol. But truthfully this is a gem of a spot, and consider yourself lucky if they get to know you and your order. Because this is “that kinda place””
