“Stephany our waitress did a great job! She was super attentive and our food came out like clock work! God bless you Stephany. Hope to see you again soon!“

“Best restaurant on the island for breakfast hands down! Love having a morning mimosas and some eggs and bacon then walking on the pier afterwards.“

“Great food…great drinks…fast and friendly service with a killer view!“

“I’ve loved Saltfish on CB for years, but the new owners have really kicked it up to a whole new level. I hate to make it more difficult to get a reservation in this cute little tiki bar, but I gotta sing their praises. The service and food have gone from ‘really good’ to ‘omg I’m gonna dream about this meal forever’. I’m currently obsessed with their scallops- they’re served with a stunning curry sauce, fragrant rice, fresh citrus slaw, and Maduros. It’s a beautiful meal and perfectly executed every time. Last night we got the coconut shrimp app, the scallops and their chicken katsu, and then finished it off with their homemade rum cake with candied pineapple and fresh whipped cream. Everything was just incredible. They’re staffed better than they used to be- service is quick and friendly. Expansive menu of tiki drinks. Definitely recommend reservations even in the off season- it’s a tiny spot with limited seating. 10000/10 definitely recommend this little gem.“

“😍Just lovin' on a coastal boil, NC style.“

“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 .“

“Back again 2 years later and this place still is next level. Drinks, Steak, Lobster, Crab, Scallops, Oysters, Clams, Fried Green Tomatoes and even the Green beans were awesome. Plan ahead cause you will likely need a reservation. Thanks to the hostesses for calling me back letting me know there was a cancellation for a reservation. That shows how customer focused they are.

My wife and I enjoyed a very tasty dinner. I had Oysters and the wife had scallops.“

“Our shrimp feast was fabulous! My favorite was the peel and eat and the coconut shrimp was a close second. Phyllis' shrimp cocktail was also awesome. Easy boat parking and friendly, fast service from Amber with lots of drink refills. Highly recommend!“

“We had the table on the water. Beautiful view!! Unfortunately my phone slipped out of my hand and went straight into the water. Being a teenager without insurance on my phone I was obviously freaking out. The whole restaurant watched me jump off the dock in search of my phone and i was unsuccessful. Then, the manager of the restaurant came in so clutch. He jumped in after explaining he’s retrieved 28/28 phones. It was high tide so the chances were 1 to 100 but he got it after like 10 minutes. It still works and I’m using it currently to write this! He also would only accept my tip for his restaurant, not himself. the customer service is fire, and so is the food!“

“Dinner tonight at Fish Bites was fantastic! Grouper, risotto, green beans! We had one of their amazing desserts, lemon blueberry cake! Very, very busy, service was great and so friendly!!“

“I feel the need to review this place since I had suspicions, but then they were false because it was actually good, and other websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor may not tell you to go there. Horizons is a great/good seafood restaurant located in the Bald Head Island Club. I love the golf carts, and good thing they had a parking space for them- which was meant to keep them from being too hot since it was covered by a roof. The elevator is very unique: you step in one one side, and you go out the other once you're there. Originally I thought it'd be like the sign on the front (that kind of restaurants judging from it), but it wasn't. It looked better than that. We sat outside with a party of 7, and our server was the myth, the (wo)man, the legend: Taylor. She was very nice and lightened the atmosphere for us. Whenever it was too sunny, she didn't mind the whole switching the entire seating of the table around kind of thing. She is very comical, too. Anyways, for appetizers, our table got the Crab Dip and a Pub Pretzel. I do not know what was in that crab dip (except crab), but HOLY SMOKES THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. It reminded me of some other dish, and I loved it. Pretzel was also good. For entrees, our table ordered 2 things of chicken tenders, buffalo wings, a caesar salad (maybe a different one), a Cape Fear burger, the shrimp or scallop risotto (i couldn't remember since I'm writing this the day after the meal), and the pan-seared Halibut. The food was good, but not amazing. For Bald Head standards, I'll give this a 5 star. For my regular standards, I'll give it a 4.
Also, I believe the seagulls raided some table at the far back. Although that happened, it was pretty funny to me.“

“Great atmosphere and service!“

“Oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls and cold beer! All delicious and wait staff friendly! Enjoyed ourselves!“

“Jasmine was very kind and made sure that we were taken care of throughout the meal. Good food and atmosphere.“

“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.“

“They came to Newland, NC and have been giving out free meals all week to the community. Everything has been wonderful. Thank you for being here and your kindness. 😊“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Brunswick County! The food is consistently spectacular, and I love how the menu is always evolving — it keeps things exciting and fresh. It’s refreshing to dine somewhere that truly values creativity. The drinks are expertly crafted, and the desserts are absolutely out of this world. 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!“

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

“The best salads and burgers!💕“

“I’ve always enjoyed eating here and always will, but the lady spilled a whole glass of tea in my girlfriends lap, which was ok, it was an accident… But they didn’t even offer to take anything off the price which was disappointing… I’ll still go eat here but I was let down from this incident“

“Everything was amazing!! Great service! The food was so flavor packed!! The cucumber salad was omg delicious!!! Thank you for the great lunch! Will be back for dinner and drinks soon!!“

“During our vacation this was our breakfast spot! Food was delicious, very clean, homey, cozy atmosphere with excellent service. The best grits! 5 stars! Will definitely be back when next visiting the beach! 🌊🏝️“

“I have been buying food here for the last couple of weeks. The food is delicious, the amount is generous and the price is reasonable. I have been ordering the food to go. So, I can't give an opinion about the atmosphere. If you live in the area, I encourage you to support local businesses like this one. They serve an important role in the local economy and the dinamic of the workforce. Keep up the good work Taste of China.“

“Great food we got lobster roll and tacos fries food was fantastic our waiter was great bit hot inside but that was no biggy“

“By far the best bar around. They have an over the top staff from the bartenders to the bouncers. Oh, and there was this wicked talented kareoke dj that hosts karaoke 7 says a week. Kareoke can be such a scary experience but with how nice she was, it made it so much easier! I think her name is Veronica? Maybe Valerie but I think I just remebr that because it was sung that night 🤷‍♂️There was another bar that also happened to be doing kareoke that night and it was an absolutely horrible experience. But we found silver dollar and instantly fell in love. If I could give this place more stars and apprasil, I would 10/10! Such an amazing evexperience especially with the roof top bar and the view over the boardwalk and fireworks! We will be back to this bar everything we visit CB again!“

“Awesome entertainment, views, and food!“

“Awesome place! Been coming here for several years!“
