Restaurants near North Topsail Beach

“Mr. A’s Beignets: A Powdered Sugar Revelation Mr. A’s beignets are so good, I had to sit down and reevaluate some life choices. Light, fluffy, perfectly fried, and drowning in powdered sugar—just like the ones in New Orleans… but honestly? Better. Yeah, I said it. One bite and I was spiritually transported to the French Quarter—minus the street smells and saxophones. These beignets are dangerously good. Like, “accidentally eat the whole box before pulling out of the parking lot” good. They’re golden perfection with a powdered sugar blizzard on top. Soft in the middle, crisp on the edges, and clearly made with love (and possibly sorcery). Highly recommend. Bring napkins. And self-control.”

“Great food, great service and reasonable prices!!”

“I had Bada Bing ice cream for the first time and was really impressed. The peanut butter cup is soooo good. The chocolate chips in it actually taste like chocolate. Many places use cheap, tasteless chocolate so I was immediately sold. I’ll definitely be back.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

“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”

“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””

“Freshest Chicken around & unique Surfin Sauce= extremely favorable ❤️”

“This was delicious. The owner is super nice and answered all of our questions as we are from the mountains of NC so oysters are not an everyday thing for us. Our waitress was very informed and stayed on top of our service. We are very happy with our experience and we will absolutely be back. Thank y’all so much.”

“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”

“Always a favorite place to have a beer then in town from Pa! Great staff, good vibes and excellent beer!”

“What happened to the Brew Food menu? The Beer Cheese & Bacon Fries were one of the best meals I've ever eaten. There aren't even any Corn Dog Bites. Chicken Tendies ftw, I guess. I really hope those changes are temporary, and y'all bring them back! Still love you guys, but I gotta dock you a star.”

“George is so accommodating, from the beginning my son wouldn’t eat burgers he would make him chicken nuggets and not even charge us ! Customer service has always been top notch! Thanks for always being awesome Smash😉”

“The staff was amazing, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The kids meals were very large and came on the cutest plates! Our sushi was fresh and delicious and the presentation was attractive. We will definitely be back!”

“Amazing coffee, drinks and food. We love to come in the morning for coffee and breakfast, and now we love to come in the evening for appetizers and cocktails. Staff is amazing, view is perfect, and the vibe is on point. Can’t recommend enough!”

“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+++.”
