Restaurants in Ocean Isle Beach

“Great place! Friendly atmosphere and o love the fave they support our community!”

“Local beach spot with great hamburgers and hotdogs. Small dining area inside but there is outside seating as well. The tator tots and onion rings are pretty great as well.”

““We listen and we don’t judge.” Omg their garlic sauce with their mussels and clams. I drank it with a straw. Key lime pie martini is fresh, bright, and filled with flavor. Their oyster shot is awesome especially if you are just dying for an oyster. The hubs pretzel and a Holden tea? (I think that is what it was). The pretzel was soft and buttery and the cheese sauce was perfect to dunk the cheese. His tea…. Ooooo you can find trouble with that tea!!!! Back to that sauce though. Extra, EXTRA bread is a must. Service is amazing and attentive. Definitely a place you want to go during the beginning of your vacation so you can go BACK TO IT! I’ll be back tomorrow!”

“And Sunday morning musician is nice too”

“Came down to Coastal Wine & Tap for spring break. Must I say it was a delightful experience with amazing people & good personality’s. I felt like I was at home and everyone in there had the same experience! I will continue to recommend Coastal Wine & Tap to everyone who needs a bar recommendation!! Will be back soon!!”

“Nice place to enjoy wine and pasta! Their Italian wine selection is impressive!🍷”

“Best smashed burger I’ve ever had!! I asked them to add an egg and they said absolutely! It was soooo delicious! Then I had to get chocolate croissants and apple fritters to go because they looked amazing! The service was fast and everyone was so nice. I will come back here every time I visit!”

“Large event room with waterfall makes it the perfect event venue. The patio is perfect for wine tasting.”

“Our family had the best meal all week during our vacation at Feast OIB! The owner/chef greeted us at the door and seated us. The wedge salad was delicious with homemade blue cheese dressing. The lobster risotto was wonderful and beautifully presented. The crab legs were super meaty and tender. There are great options for kids too! Amazing, friendly service with a smile. As we were leaving, the owner/chef was cleaning tables and making sure things were running smoothly. We were very impressed! I also love that the menu was clearly labeled with MANY gluten free options.”

“Fast and friendly service, fresh and tasty ingredients in a busy but clean store. Built my sandwiches perfectly to order. Staff did me a very great kindness as well.”

“Love this place. Always our first dinner out when we go to OIB!”

“We arrived early evening on a Tuesday and the place was absolutely slammed. We put her name in for a table and went upstairs for a Tiki drink or two. Drinks were excellent. After we were seated our server, Riley took out drink order and reappeared quickly with water and our drinks. I have the captain’s platter and chose shrimp and clams and Anne ordered the shrimp and grits. Riley had warned us that it’s a large portion, but who knows what that really can be. Well, the food arrived promptly and the shrimp and grits truly was an enormous portion. Enough for two. Was creamy, cheesy, slammed full of shrimp, andouille and mushrooms. My shrimp and clams were lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Frankly, as busy as it was, I was surprised with the speed of service and the quality of the food. Absolutely recommend this place!”

“our first visit here.. we moved here in april 2024 , we finally decided to get out and try a new place. we got a Double decker with fries and it was absolutely delicious we will definitely be back.”

“I had my April 2024 wedding here and the experience is almost indescribable. I had this venue booked for more than a year, and as you can imagine, I had a lot of questions. I communicated with the manager, Marnie, more than 100 times via email and I ALWAYS received a quick response with my questions answered even with my events months down the line. The food and staff at this venue are amazing. My wedding went off without a hitch and all the compliments were on the food, friendly staff, and beautiful panoramic views of the beach. The food was great! We served the pecan chicken and a pasta station. The guests raved about the chicken and waffle slider appetizer as well. As soon as the dances were over and we sat at our sweetheart table we were immediately greeted with food from Marnie and a staff member. This goes to show their level of professionalism and attentiveness. The kids' food was also served first and that impressed parents. I was told this was the first wedding that occurred and they were thrilled. I only have wonderful things to say. You will not be let down with any event you host at the Isles. Thanks Marnie!! You guys are amazing. I need to find another event to throw just so I can come back!”

“l did a online order for a small all meat pizza. This was our first time eating from there. The food was ready when they said it would be! The pizza was good & will definitely eat from there again when I am back at OIB!”

“Honestly, a wonderful hub of activity for the local community. I often see many gather and hang out in the morning. And as I wait for my food I see that they often recognize their regulars and their typical orders. They are welcoming to all, and they have great coffee, pastries and not to mention their delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also carry local brands, such as Raw Salsa. It really feels like shopping Small and supporting our community. Looking forward to a pizza night sometime.”

“Best food and service around 💜”

“The BEST banana splits!! We make it a point to stop in at least once if not twice each year we are visiting the beach.”

“Everyone who comes into our little surf shop and gets her pastries, baked goods and cakes absolutely loves them! Darcy take great care of her customers!”

“Looks like new management. Place looks much cleaner and the food is very good. We will eat there again.”

“We had a very nice meal here tonight. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. Just an FYI, they charge $0.50 per container of cocktail and tartar sauce. I do not recall reading this on the menu, and I have never paid for an itemized condiment list on my bill EVER (and I am almost 50).”

“Good ice cream! First time in a long time that I couldn’t get the one “huge” ice cream scoop under control before finishing it due to the weather! It was a good struggle but fun. Make sure you grab extra napkins! They don’t have a bathroom to wash your hands!”

“A very welcome addition to the island! I hated driving off island to find a good cup of coffee! (Years ago) Every year I hope Drift is still here. It is and the business is stronger than ever! *if you go around 10am-get the app and pre-order. The line is really long around 10am!”
