30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Holly Ridge

“we love this place! The food and the service is outstanding! Deanna makes sure we have our meal with a big hug and smile. We always recommend this place to everyone! Thanks Deanna for being such a sweetheart“

“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.💎“

“We dined at Shuckin’ Shack with a group of 10, and a puppy in tow. The waiter was absolutely phenomenal and the attentiveness to the puppy by bringing out a water bowl was top tier. 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!“

“First time visiting today and loved that they had an option for the pups too.“

“The new manager, Brandi, is excited about new changes being made! I ordered the Land Lover's Pizza and added tomatoes. The ingredients were so fresh that the flavors really popped!!! I would have preferred the sausage thinner sliced, but who can please everyone ??. This was my first time there, and it won't be my last! Really can't wait to try the new dessert pies they are creating. Sorry I didn't catch the young man's name who made the pie! Great job!!! By the way, I'm not a pizza fan at heart, but I might change my mind.“

“We were in walking distance of pelicans and went almost every night. We really enjoyed the wide variety of flavors. The order gentleman could be more personable, but the other staff was wonderful. We tended to look in the windows to prepare our selves for him. My children were always excited try a new flavor. We cannot wait to come back next year!“

“The most wonderful spot in SneadsFerry. Good food, friends and fun. Locals love it! Tourist never forget it.“

“Have stopped here twice (once of take out) during our time in topsail, amazing service from Jordan. Great place!!!“

“Went for Sunday brunch…Staff provided excellent, attentive service and were asked multiple times if we needed anything. Good food at reasonable price!!“

“My husband and son and I went Saturday for dinner and as always, it was delicious. The crab dip always spot on and the best around. A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“

“Amazing meal and cocktails on the patio. Excellent service. The raw oysters, crab cakes, and shrimp and grits were incredible. 10/10.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere. Had the Lion King on for the kiddos. Only note I have is that there is no long list of ice cream flavors close to where we walked in. Had to walk through the line and squeeze between people to see what flavors they had. Not a huge issue at all though. Overall, great place!“

“I get the breakfast sandwich, eggs over easy, cheese and a sausage patty. I’ve ordered this before at other restaurants and NYCD is the only place that gets over easy right. Gooey and runny, just the way a perfect breakfast should be! Of all the places on and off island, this is the one to go to. Highly recommended! 💕“

“Our group was seated in the bar area around back. It was a nice little area that over looked the sound. But there were a few patrons at the bar that had too much to drink that was being so obnoxious to the other seated guests. Other than that the service and food was good!“

“Excellent NY-style Pizza! My extended family and I ordered 2 large "classic" style pizzas to-go recently (1 cheese, 1 pepperoni). It was the best NY-style pizza that I have had in NC. The foldable crust was crisp with great chew. The sauce was flavorful and NOT sweet. There was a good amount of cheese. We were born and raised in Manhattan (NYC) and really enjoyed the pizzas from Michaelangelo's - highly recommend! Also, the workers were very nice and friendly.“

“Great place to eat“

“Great food and even better service. We loved the vibe so we didnt mind that the AC was broken inside but felt bad for the poor staff who were drenched in sweat but still managed to take such great care of us esp our bartender Frannie as sweat literally dropped off her. We loved it and highly recommend but to the owner do better, fix your AC to take care of your staff!!“
