“It was our first time at Salt Fish. We looked at reviews and made reservations. WOW! Salt fish exceeded our expectations!!! Every entree was really good - black beans & rice, scallops and red drum. The true delight is dessert! The rum Cake is a must have - warm, light, complex. The vinho verde and sparkling rose were delicious. I will come Back just to have wine and dessert. It’s an intimate setting and with friendly personal service. Don’t miss Salt Fish when you visit Carolina Beach.“

“Celebrated New Year's Eve with a set Dinner here. Staff was both Friendly and Professional. Top Notch Experience coupled with the quaint and charming feel of Southport. Food was extraordinary. We ordered appetizers, salads and three different main entree options and each one was cooked and flavored to perfection. When in Southport, don't miss this out on this exceptional dining experience!“

“Great service, atmosphere, and food. Our waitress was lovely and gave us excellent drink recommendations—we went with the Fishy Margarita and the Blueberry Hill Martini, and both were fantastic. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Beyond the superb food and service, the atmosphere truly stood out. We had an amazing view of the marina and the sunset, which made the experience even more special. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

“Have lived down here for 5 years. This is the first time we came to Oliver's, and we were not disappointed.! The food was amazing. The server jacqueline, really hustled and bustled with a smile on her face and very, very sweet! My husband is a diabetic and also on dialysis, and has to watch his intake on certain things. And they did his French fries without salt, like we asked, and instead of frying the catfish, he baked it . If I could give jacqueline, a higher than 5 stars. I would .“

“always good time with deaf events at Micheal seafood after the beach we been hosting 8 years in row 2nd Saturday of August. abd with my family 14 yrs Christmas eve and brunch love the owner sweet lady definitely 5 star.🧡“

“Service great, food just OK. The restaurant is small, and the bartender covers the table service as well. Everything was hot and served together. I had the teryaki chicken with pineapple, and while the chicken breast was cooked well, it really would have benefited from a marinade or dry spice rub, as it was cooked, rather than the pineapple slice and sauce just put on top... Zero depth of flavor. My wife had salmon and. said the flavor was good. While I wouldn't seek out Olde Salty as a destination restaurant, I would eat here again in a pinch.“

“Great service, stylish decor, awesome food & stellar martinis. Try the surf board appetizer & the key lime pie martini“

We come here all the time, and the staff is hands-down the friendliest and most attentive we’ve ever encountered. An all-around amazing experience every single visit!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hosted our wedding after-party at the Silver Dollar Rooftop in mid October and it was absolutely perfect! Mitchell, the manager, was incredibly easy to coordinate with—he checked in on our drink preferences the week of and even offered to help coordinate food. We ended up bringing in our own food, and the Silver Dollar team worked seamlessly with the pizza place to make sure everything was set up and ready before our guests arrived.

We had the entire rooftop deck to ourselves, which was amazing and provided tons of space for our ~100 guests after the wedding. Downstairs was still lively with karaoke, but they went above and beyond by letting the bridal party jump the karaoke line, which made the night feel extra special.

The service was fantastic, the vibes were spot-on, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They truly made it as personal and stress-free as possible. We really appreciated how easy they made everything from start to finish.

This is already one of our favorite bars in Carolina Beach—you truly can’t beat the karaoke vibes—and we would recommend the Silver Dollar Rooftop 100 times over. Thank you for helping make our wedding night unforgettable!“
