“Bad visit after appetizer i left...after waiting 15 mins for waitress was upset...i emailed Splash..no reply..visiting aug 8th”

“I purchased a large quantity and shared with my community and it was a hit. Everyone including myself enjoyed the texture and taste tremendously. I highly recommend Cafe Frutta Fresca Gelato. It's first class!!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aarrr Pirate Bar & Grill was such a fun surprise. The whole place has this cool pirate vibe without feeling cheesy — dim lights, lanterns, skeletons, all the little details. It actually feels cozy in its own way. The food was seriously good. The cheesesteak was loaded and delicious, and those hushpuppy-looking bites were gone in about 30 seconds. The quesadilla was huge, super cheesy, and came with fresh salsa and toppings that actually tasted good, not like an afterthought. The staff was friendly and easygoing, and the whole place just had a laid-back, good-energy feel. If you’re in North Topsail, it’s definitely worth stopping in. Good food, fun vibe, zero complaints.”

“After driving past many times we decided to stop the day before Thanksgiving. We ordered the Thanksgiving meal and enjoyed it. The young man that waited on us was an excellent server and everything was clean. We will definitely return again!”

“Food and service was great. Autumn is best server we have had in a long time anywhere. Even knows how to upsell which is usual nowadays. Big props to here and this place.”

“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!”

“Seriously the cutest and coziest place to have coffee, a treat, and playtime! Came here with my 5 year old daughter and 1.5 year old niece and they both had so much fun. The coffee is fantastic, the cheese danish was amazing, and the staff is so sweet. I will make the 40 minute drive from Hubert any day for such a wonderful place. So glad we gave it a try”

“delicious coffee and fantastic people. Definitely recommend”

“Great food, even better people and atmosphere. As locals, we are weekly visitors. (well maybe more like three times a week on occasion.) We have NEVER not been satisfied. Ask my husband- it’s hard for ME to be satisfied. lol. But truthfully this is a gem of a spot, and consider yourself lucky if they get to know you and your order. Because this is “that kinda place””

“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”

“Great food!! We make it a point to eat there when in Surf City!”

“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!”

“SO good! We love Burrito Shak and this one is the best we have been to. Fresh healthy ingredients, large portions, reasonable prices, and delicious food!!”

“Super cute shop,we were excited to browse and purchase, while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. unfortunately, at 4:40 pm on a Friday, the barista was not making drinks for the rest of the evening. Understandable they close at at 5 pm, but why shutting down 20 minutes before? #disappointed”

“Went later at night, about 30 minutes before closing. I ordered the pork katsu curry to go. My order was ready in ten minutes and it was apparent that the pork was freshly made. I wasn't asked about a spice level for the curry so I assume what I got was standard however it was incredibly flavorful. It had a little kick but was not overly spicy. The pork was super crispy and perfectly cooked. The rice portion was also extremely generous with plenty left over. The staff was friendly and inviting. They were even kind enough to walk my order out to my car while I was waiting despite it raining outside. Anyone craving an authentic experience should give this place a try as I will definitely be back.”

“Spacious outdoor venue — picnic tables with umbrellas. Absolutely the MOST delicious farmed oysters I’ve ever had, served raw or roast your own on one of several grills. Amazing toppings for the oysters. They also serve sausages for grilling and yummy shrimp salad. Lots if other unexpected seafood options. Great beer selection. What a treat to have the very freshest local oysters anytime of year! We LOVE this place and the terrific employees!! A+++.”

“Such a cute shop and their ice cream and cold brews are incredible!!!!”

“Had lunch and ate a delicious Reuben sandwich and great service! Thank you”
