30 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kure Beach

“Had a great first experience here with 5 adults and 2 kids. Fast service, great sized serving of perfectly seasoned red snapper, the friendliest staff, and a good espresso martini. Jill was our server and she was phenomenal! We enjoyed chatting with her and she was super helpful for us navigating the menu. Definitely would be back!!“

“Jenny did a wonderful service for my family. The food here is really good and plentiful. Come hungry take a nap on the way home.“

“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.“

“We found this restaurant via Google search. We showed up without a reservation(sorry). We were welcomed and offered two seats at the bar. What a fantastic experience. Miranda was our server and there was nothing she could have done to make our dining experience more special. We spoke with the owners, the chef, and several servers, and everyone there made sure our dining experience was perfect. The drinks, the wine, the apps, the food(tuna nachos, crab fritters and shrimp Seoul bowls), everything was spectacular. We are already planning our next visit!“

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

“Rebecca was our server and she was fantastic. The prime rib, oysters 3x3, wine and salad were all scrumptious. The only downside was the noise level in our space (we were in room without bar) was so high it hurt our ears. Mind you the 'noise
makers' were having a great time, but really dampened our enjoyment couldn't indicate 4.5 stars on review.“

“Service was very good.
Atmosphere is nice. Waterfront views. Go right before sunset, it’s beautiful.
The food was good. The hush puppies appetizer was very good as well as the crab dip. The fish & chips (fish) was greasy.“

“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 .“

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

“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!!“

“Every vacation to CB we take we always stop at Michael’s! My son had his first crab cakes here and it’s been a tradition ever since. We make sure to come by everytime we visit!! A staple for sure. It’s always a wonderful time and the staff are always amazing.“

“Great atmosphere and service!“

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

“My sister and I ate here in late March. There were some locals at the bar, but not very busy for a Friday night. We ordered onion rings that were the best I’ve ever had. The sauce on the side made me want to lick the plate. We both ordered the catfish, which was lightly breaded and exceptional. The slaw was good and it came with yummy hush puppies and fries, as well. Took half of it home in a box. The server was so friendly and quick with everything even though she covered the bar and the dining room. I’m glad we gave this place a try.“

“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. 😊“

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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“
