“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.“

“We had an excellent breakfast at Kate's Pancake House on May 4, 25. The two of us had eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, toast, and 1/2 of a Belgian waffle, 2 teas, and coffee. + tip=$54“

“Absolutely phenomenal margarita pizza - easily the best I’ve ever had. Don’t skip the hummingbird cake, it is house made and to die for!“

“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!“

“Was absolutely delicious! Any restaurant in the “ruby chain” (what we call it 😅) is AMAZING! Loved the Katrina tacos and Hendrix sandwich. Can’t wait to try more on our next trip.“

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

“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!“

“My boys and I had dinner here on Saturday after the music festival. There was a short 15-minute wait to get a table, but it was well worth the wait. Our server was wonderful, and on top of everything. We never had to ask for anything, and refills were on the table before we were out. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the raspberry margaritas are the best I've ever had. Definitely going back on my next trip! Best meal we had on the Island this weekend!“

“It's been a rough few weeks for small business owners in Southport since the storm and local road issues haven't helped. The other day instead of waiting in traffic I stopped in to check on a friend & fellow restaurant owner at Southport Gourmet and Sushi Bar. Like me at The Saucy Southerner their daily business has been greatly affected and I had an idea I offered the owners. I decided to put together a night with friends and let the restaurant show off a little! Let me tell you!! They showed off big time and made us the most amazing meal!! Our group ate until we couldn't eat any more, and then we ate more!! Everything was fresh, great service and the food was delicious!!! From the sensational appetizers to kick things off, to the second course of some delightful fresh sushi boats and then finished it off with some of their favorite items!! All around we all had a wonderful time and we're grateful to be able to support a local small business during these challenging times. The best part was we beat all the traffic issues, had quality time with friends and made the night a little better for everyone involved! Get out there and support local small businesses and slow down a little. Live life and have fun!!“

“Traveling south on ICW one of nicest and friendliest people.“

Restaurant was clean and inviting. Will be there more often.“

“The pulled pork is literally the best. With a close second being the freshly fried fish. Add some pineapple salsa and Jalapeño bbq sauce and *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻. You can't go wrong“

“i had fun when i went with my family“

“Great, Friendly“

“Their food has always been good, soups are good. Convenient and affordable. Eat in but take out for home is recommended. Inside eating area could / should be updated.“

“This is one of my favorite spots to grab a bite on the Island. The menu is awesome. I highly recommend that you stop in and try the new Wild Ranch Wing Sauce. In my opinion, it is the best around. The staff is very friendly and always makes it a top notch experience. Keep up the good work Pop’s!“

“Great burgers with a friendly staff“

“This gem of a taco place happened to be right down the road from our Airbnb. Everything we ordered came super fast. Everything was fresh and delicious. Had a large list of restaurants to try while in Carolina beach for 5 days but had to make a second stop at Nollie’s. Spicy margs and the mahi mahi tacos were so good! My wife loved the “Full Monty” with different queso and salsa/pico dips and chips. Loved everything about this place!“

“Awesome experience! Sami was wonderful, nice and prompt!“

“Food is great, multiple menu options, & reasonably priced. #eatlocal“

“Such a great little spot! We love hanging out in the off season while it’s not so busy or hot. Great view, food and friendly staff. Wish prices were a little less, but it doesn’t deter us from coming to hang!

Parking: parking behind pier

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp all the way up!“

“Decent food & friendly staff, but not enough servers (only one for the entire place).

We had fried mushrooms, tacos, and fried grouper, which were all good, just not great. For instance, the fish was a bit too salty, and the coleslaw served with both was very basic (cabbage, sauce).

Our waitress/bartender/cashier (like a one woman show) was on the ball and hustling, so if I were just rating her, she'd get 5stars+... However, since she was spread so thin, we had to wait a bit for anything we needed, etc.“

“Great food, large portions at a very reasonable price. Staff, although very busy on a Sunday evening, was friendly and helpful. Order was ready for pickup when promised. The dining area and signage is outdated, but don’t let that discourage you…the food is excellent!“

“Very entertaining and tasty food“

“First time here. I had a take out, and I ordered the spaghetti. Its very basic, and the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle, no favor, and the noobles needed salt. I only eat what I could, and threw out the rest in the garbage. As for the restaurant itself, it needs be renovated. Looks like an old pizza hut from the 80's.“
