“Never disappoints! Free parking and only 2 bucks for a 24 hour pier pass. Such a wonderful friendly atmosphere. Enjoy a scoop of ice cream outside while watching and listening to the crashing waves. Always enjoy visiting here. We will keep returning and recommending to all our friends and family.“

“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.“

“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”“

“Go almost every Saturday for breakfast. Jeff had his staff are the best and the friendliest people. The food is always yummy! Also, try the WINGS on Thursday evening!! They are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST in town!! You will not be disappointed!“

“My husband and son and I went Saturday for dinner and as always, it was delicious. The crab dip always spot on and the best around. A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“

“Without a doubt the best burger to be had in the county. Great service + quality food + decent prices = repeated visits! If it weren't for the fact we are in Ohio I would be your own Norm from Cheers! Highly recommended.“

“This place is the best ! They have such a great selection of food and drinks and the outside seating is perfect on a nice day ❤️“

“We ate at Rick's on Saturday evening 8/16 and Sunday evening 8/17! Our steaks on Saturday came out perfectly cooked!! Our steaks on Sunday evening came out very well done! Not even edible! The fish specials that we ordered was also very overcooked and dry! The two of us who ordered the fish didn't feel well the rest of Sunday evening 😕 The atmosphere was nice but it was very loud and it seemed like the air conditioner was not working as it was very warm in there. Our server NICOLE was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! She was very attentive and seemed to really enjoy her job!!“

“Most of the time my experience has been awesome! The wait staff, bartenders and kitchen, but today it was no good! It was very obvious that boyfriend, family and friend took priority over any local customer! Took a while to get our drinks, they were good, our food was no where what we have become accustomed to here, our order was very late with less than a total of 10 people in the whole restaurant! Our order was NOT correct, and when I said something about it the reply from the bartender was “ but it’s okay!, no it wasn’t! Took over 7 minutes ( sitting at the bar) to get our bill. Strike one!“

“Stopped in for a sweet treat. The ice cream selection is amazing, you get big scoops too. The employees were friendly and professional. Will definitely stop back in on our next visit to the Island.“

“The best meal of the week. Seasoned perfectly and great portions. We even have leftovers for our last night at the beach. Treat yo’self and get a Topsail Steamer bucket!“

“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!“

“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“

“Some of the best brisket we’ve ever had!! Love the food, love the owners and staff! A Surf City staple!“

“Talk about working UNDER PRESSURE! These girls did such a good job on a high stress rush with SO many people. They all made sure to greet every customer, and wish them a good day when completing the order. We love coming here and Sunrise Bagel next door every vacation, typically we come much earlier in the morning so this is the first time we’ve come during a rush. Always remember to be patient and kind, they’re doing all they can to give you the best results! 🍩💗“

“The burgers and sides we ordered were amazing!“

“The most wonderful spot in SneadsFerry. Good food, friends and fun. Locals love it! Tourist never forget it.“

“Our group was seated in the bar area around back. It was a nice little area that over looked the sound. But there were a few patrons at the bar that had too much to drink that was being so obnoxious to the other seated guests. Other than that the service and food was good!“

“Every dennys we went to has been awful except this one in sneads ferry nc. The food has been delicious. Breakfast lunch and dinner. The wait staff very friendly and makes sure everything is good for us. We are from pa. and thought we'd try it. Glad we did.Aas you can see we've been there 3 times so far and even called in an order.“

“I get the breakfast sandwich, eggs over easy, cheese and a sausage patty. I’ve ordered this before at other restaurants and NYCD is the only place that gets over easy right. Gooey and runny, just the way a perfect breakfast should be! Of all the places on and off island, this is the one to go to. Highly recommended! 💕“

“the hamburgers are the best! The servers are awesome! I will be back!“
