“My wife and I recently stopped by Seaview Pier Restaurant, and we had a great experience.

The staff was welcoming, friendly, and provided good service from the moment we arrived.

I ordered the deviled crab with battered okra and coleslaw, while my wife had the BLT.

The deviled crab was excellent, and the battered okra was crispy and flavorful. The coleslaw was a great complement to the meal, and the hushpuppies were sweet, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

One unique touch was the assortment of 3D-printed items they had for sale around the restaurant, which made the visit even more interesting.

Overall, this was a great meal with friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere. We'd definitely stop by again the next time we're in Topsail.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

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!!!“

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.
