“Had dinner March 2nd with my wife. Views are amazing and our waitress was very nice and did her job well. Please call ahead as they have a very limited menu for the off-season. My wife enjoyed her salad with grilled chicken and my burger was very good. Had they not had the salad we would have had to get up and leave since the menu had nothing else available for my wife to pick from.“
“Besides the exceptional lobster Mac and cheese and lobster grilled cheese, the service was exceptional starting with the owner. First he started by taking our order at the cash register and then he found the time to wonder the tables checking in on the customers. What really stood out for me though was the owners appreciation of his staff. I heard him on a couple occasions thank the waitresses and tell them they were doing a great job. While obviously I want good food, this is what makes the place special!!“
“We are on vacation and this was a dinner we had on our must try list. We ordered online and it was ready when we arrived. The staff member was very kind and informative, letting us know each step to get this good stuff steamed up. They also provide printed instructions. I’m not sure which bucket we ordered, but it had shrimp, clams, crab, potatoes, sausage, kielbasa, onions, and scallops. It was more than we could finish at one sitting, but we look forward to finishing off the leftover shrimp and potatoes! I love that we get to keep the bucket and we plan on ordering for home delivery in a couple of months. It was so good! And fun!“
“This was our first time here and it won’t be our last! Everything we had was phenomenal...flounder, clams, scallops, oysters, fried zucchini…and the hush puppies were amazing!! We took a piece of coconut pie to go and it was delicious! Morgan was the best too!“
“This is a friendly, welcoming place where you feel like a local. We ate here two nights in a row. Trivia Night is on Tuesdays and a lot of fun. The salmon was incredible anyway we had it and the homemade potato chips with ranch and crab dip with bread were super starters. When you read the restaurant’s backstory you will agree the friends who opened it realized their dream.Vegetarian options: There are your standard salads and I think I spotted a veg or bean burger.Parking: RobustKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Ramp“
“We have been coming to Topsoil for years and this is the one of two reliably good places to eat on the island, in my opinion. We've never been disappointed and always leave full.Ironically, never had their oysters, but their shrimp is delicious and we always, *always*, get the fries for the app.Dietary restrictions: Great with allergens to ensure no cross contamination on the menu. We've never requested modifications, though.Parking: Parking can be difficult during on season, but never any problems off season. Be careful where you park, because some spaces are reserved for specific businesses.“
“Love the food and service. The sushi is great, lots of hot items to choose from as well. Service is courteous and fast. We go every time we're on the island. To go orders have always been spot on. It just looks a little run down and intimidating from the exterior. If you can get past that, it's well worth the trip.“
“Easily my new favorite place in NC, or maybe anywhere. They grow and harvest all of their oysters. And wow are they magnificent. On top of that, they serve good wine + beer and chef driven food like tuna tataki, crudo, a fantastic shrimp roll, and a bougie hot dog with caviar!!I can't wait to come back next week. This a gem of this area!“
“Highly recommend. Went with a group of 10 including 5 children. Nothing bad to say (well, maybe paid parking but oh well). Great food, attentive and caring servers, great ocean view. It’s a popular place as we had a short wait…the sign of a solid restaurant.Parking: There are maybe 4-5 free parking spots but it’s a busy place so expect to pay for parking in nearby lots unless you go after 6pm (then parking is free).“
“We had dinner last night, March 30th, 2024. We were told the table wait was over an hour+ so we sat at the bar and ordered the Tuna nachos for an app. They were amazing!. Our name got called and we were seated in like 40 mins or so which was perfect! Our waitress introduced herself, and even wrote her name down in crayon at the table as Lovey! She was awesome! Ask for her if you get a chance! We then ordered the soup, Bang bang shrimp tacos, and the chicken sandwich. We ordered way too much food! Bottom line, the staff, the food and even the extra dessert they included, because it was my birthday and I signed up on their VIP site, was just great! Second time eating here, and this time was better than the first! Highly recommend if you need a great NTB place to eat at!“
