“A quaint little place with a real hometown welcome feeling. Everyone seemed to leave with a smile, and I soon joined them. The biscuits n gravy were hot n delicious, the bacon crispy, and the service friendly. Can't ask for much more.”

“Long overdo review! It has always been a pleasure coming here. Their service is wonderful and of course the great coffee! Ordering ahead is also a plus when I am on a rush and there’s never been a delay.”

“Moved here about 7 yrs ago. Dales won my respect from the first visit. Hope is an amazing bartender and person, hang on to someone l Iike that..they bring the candor needed in a business to create loyalty just by bringing a smiling face to work no matter what they have going on. Thank you to Dales and Hope for making me feel at home everytime I pop in there for a short visit.”

“Excellent wood fired pizza!! Service was great and atmosphere was very comfortable. The entire restaurant is so clean. Can’t recommend this place enough! Will definitely be returning when we are back in Surf City.”

“Absolutely rockstar staff! I went in after a cold call to check out their operation on a busy day and they carved out time to give me a 1 on 1 tour with a smile on their faces. Very helpful and extremely informative. Also a great 40k crowd, for the Emperor.”

“Incredibly courteous and polite stataff. Pleanty of selctions to choose from. Darts, pool and karaoke available. The location is super convenient. Kudos to all the staff(s). We will definitely return again and again and again! There is plenty of spacious parking. I would still give more than 5 stars if possible.”

“Loved this restaurant, they made us feel like family and the food was always excellent! Ate there at least once a week over the past 5 months! We travel a lot so we know our food! Hope to one day cross their path again so we can enjoy another delicious meal! Definitely going to miss them. ❤️Kid-friendliness: family friendly and great kids menu.”

“Found this place on the fly! The Cuban sandwich!! "AMAZING" Also, Ambers Rice Bowl!!"Bon appetit" can you say that when eating BBQ? ? Thanks Amber Great Job!! ??By the way...Firearms Allowed ???”

“The lady working there this morning had great customer service. The breakfast food was amazing. They are one of the few taco bells that actually takes the time to make things right so you don't end up with half burnt, sloppy breakfast food.”

“One of the only bars on the beach. The corn nuggets are off the chain. Everything else is pretty good. Sit outside on a nice day and enjoy the ocean. The atmosphere is hit our miss depending upon your flavor. Get place to chill.”

“Food was prepared as advertised, Mac and cheese was delicious and the proper texture and consistency. Tenders were moist and hot. Biscuit was good and brown and buttery. Everything was freshly prepared. Went thru drive thru at 6 pm. I never been inside. The drive through line was moving quickly.”

“This place is God sent!! Everything about this place proclaims the love of God. The food is amazing and authentic, but above all the people are beautiful!!! ”

“We were welcomed in like old friends and this was our very first visit. A cosy family atmosphere and in house made frozen delights. How do you choose just one flavor? You don’t. You by 2 quarts for the freezer and a freshly made waffle cone with strawberry and coconut. The flavors are beautiful and oh so creamy! My husband and I have now compiled the perfect food ‘flight’ on Topsail Island and this is where dessert dreams are made!”

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Busy morning was appropriately staffed to provide quick, friendly and efficient service. Very clean, great beach feel, and a convenient location. Outdoor and indoor seating. They have a great selection of fun merchandise and local books as a bonus. We will definitely be back!”

“great drinks and snacks, super cute coffee themed merch, local art, and friendly, casual environment - have gone to sit with my laptop and get some work done, heard people can host events there, and have watched very happy doggos get their pup cup - would go back in a heart beat if i still lived in the ”

“My son doesn’t like traditional birthday cake but could eat a gallon of icecream in one sitting. So we reached out to request an icecream cake for his 15th birthday. It was absolutely delicious! Probably the best icecream cake we have eaten yet. And we get one yearly!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

“We are on vacation and this was a dinner we had on our must try list. We ordered online and it was ready when we arrived. The staff member was very kind and informative, letting us know each step to get this good stuff steamed up. They also provide printed instructions. I’m not sure which bucket we ordered, but it had shrimp, clams, crab, potatoes, sausage, kielbasa, onions, and scallops. It was more than we could finish at one sitting, but we look forward to finishing off the leftover shrimp and potatoes! I love that we get to keep the bucket and we plan on ordering for home delivery in a couple of months. It was so good! And fun!”

“I really liked the place. Something for everyone. It was crazy busy at 2 PM, so I'm not the only one! Stop by and see for yourself. Short walk to the beach.”

“One of my favorite things about being at the beach…is my surf city coffee on the weekends! Staff and coffee are always great, love that they support local artists and always fun to look at the artwork while getting coffee. Definitely the Best coffee shop on the island/area! The staff always makes sure the coffee is how you like it, and if you are not a coffee connoisseur like my hubby, they will help you find what you would enjoy.”

“This is a friendly, welcoming place where you feel like a local. We ate here two nights in a row. Trivia Night is on Tuesdays and a lot of fun. The salmon was incredible anyway we had it and the homemade potato chips with ranch and crab dip with bread were super starters. When you read the restaurant’s backstory you will agree the friends who opened it realized their dream.Vegetarian options: There are your standard salads and I think I spotted a veg or bean burger.Parking: RobustKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Ramp”

“On vacation. Just wanted some beer for the beach and found this gem. Amazing selection and the owner is super knowledgeable and awesome! If you love craft beer you’ll be like a kid in a candy shop.”

“Not a big fan of the chicken or the steak, both are too dry for me. The ground beef, pork and shrimp are great. Sunday brunch burritos are also great. Outside eating area is fantastic. Downsides are that it always takes a long time for the food to be delivered and it’s relatively expensive for what it is. I will keep going back, but if I don’t have 45 mins to spare, it’s not an option.”

“Breakfast and lunch- wonderful!!! And reasonably priced. Our family stops on our way out of Toosail Beqch every time and my favorite is the iced tiramisu latte- half sweet. Delish!”

“I truly love coming her for a quick lunch any time I am doing errands around town. The people are always nice, the service is fast, and the food is very good. If all you want is a simple but delicious lunch, look no further.”

“We have been coming to Topsoil for years and this is the one of two reliably good places to eat on the island, in my opinion. We've never been disappointed and always leave full.Ironically, never had their oysters, but their shrimp is delicious and we always, *always*, get the fries for the app.Dietary restrictions: Great with allergens to ensure no cross contamination on the menu. We've never requested modifications, though.Parking: Parking can be difficult during on season, but never any problems off season. Be careful where you park, because some spaces are reserved for specific businesses.”

“I have visited Boombalatti's twice. An awesome experience each time. I was helped by the same lady and she remembered me. Lots of different flavors to choose from..”

“From Surf City, to a U-Haul and almost 1000 miles to Missouri. This beer is a must try. Will be sad not to get anymore of their IPA’s for a while. But 10/10 recommend Surf City Sunrise”

“Food was good. Service was slow with us being there in the middle of the afternoon with no customers. They brought one person's plate out at a time. About 5 minutes apart for each. Never had them do that before.”

“Walked in, immediate first impression was that it’s clean, organized and welcoming. The two people working both greeted me even though they were clearly busy. The order went quickly, payment easy and staff was friendly and talkative throughout the process. Hubs got regular coffee, I had the blueberry crumble-which was amazing. IMO prices were the same as Dunkin; but I had to drive a third the distance and had a wonderful experience that I feel would be more consistent. We’ll be making it a daily trip, definitely worth trying.”
