“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!!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“The buffet is EXCELLENT! Food was hot, flavored well, and staff was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend these vittles!“

“Great ladies night at Beauchaines! Food and service were both excellent and best Dirty Martini in town. Thanks for keeping the Filet Fondue. My favorite!“

“Sushi was great! Came out fast and with awesome customer service!“

“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+++.“

“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!!!“

“This is a hidden Gem. We had the oyster sandwich and flounder sandwich. Both were loaded and delicious. The owner came by to see how we liked our food and told me he has plans for a raw bar and sushi next summer. He also said he planned to open the outside and have bands. If you are looking at this give them a try. A+“

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

“Pleasantly surprised! Friendly team, clean, fun decor, and our food was very good. Cannot say enough about their tasty cheese curds. The Cobb Salad with chicken, Flounder sandwich, and Mac & Cheese skillet were excellent! Very tasty dressing/dips as well. Great sized portions. We were stuffed and passed on dessert but will be back very soon for round 2. Cowfin Bar & Grill is now a keeper on our TI rotating restaurant list. Highly recommend everything about them!“

“Great food if you're looking for something quick to eat with a fantastic view. We were here many, many years ago and haven't been back due to having children. They are older now, so we stopped in on our arrival to the beach after driving all night. The views were amazing!“

“Great food and even better service. We loved the vibe so we didnt mind that the AC was broken inside but felt bad for the poor staff who were drenched in sweat but still managed to take such great care of us esp our bartender Frannie as sweat literally dropped off her. We loved it and highly recommend but to the owner do better, fix your AC to take care of your staff!!“
