22 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ocean Isle Beach

“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!“

“I've never met an owner and staff so nice and generous my whole life. Genuinely nice. I came from Charlotte (found out the owner is from Charlotte too) and I came in 20 mins before closing (I didnt know they closed at 3) and they still didn't rush me out. They are reasonably priced and I always come here when I go to Ocean Isle. Please come to Castaway Grille.“

“Roberto's is a preferred dining destination for us. Their steak, chicken, and fish entrees are exceptional. My husband's top choices are the Salmon Rockefeller and the Sweet Chili Thai Salmon. I highly recommend the Crab Dip appetizer, and the Cheese Ravioli with Vodka sauce entree is outstanding. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Roberto's is an excellent choice for a night out with family and friends. I suggest making a reservation, as it is a busy time of year. Enjoy your dining experience at Roberto's and your summer vacation.“

“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.“

“Very consistent place great staff and food!“

“We have had issues finding places we like (a lot of the places around her have been bland). We came from an area where we were pretty spoiled with great restaurants and Wing & Fish has been the only place so far that is comparable. We have been here three times so far and they have been very consistent each time. The food is great, and the staff are friendly and attentive.“

“We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer. I ordered the house salad and Asiago pasta with Shrimp. He had the Seafood platter with flounder, scallops and oysters with coleslaw. Then we finished with the Tiramisu for dessert. The presentation of the food was wonderful. The service was great. There was no real wait time. The food was amazing! You have to try it!“

Great bacon wrapped scallops, Mahi Mahi sandwich was done right and wifes shrimp salad was excellent. Had Tracy as our server and she was awesome! Looking forward to next trip up from MB
Made trip up from MB. Friendly atmosphere, great views to go with very good food. Hannah was our server and she was very helpful for us first timers. Will be back!“

“We love Jeromes's. We go 3-4 times a week. Suggestions to make it better: 1. Real Butter instead of the Spread; 2. Be more consistent with the $10 specials. We are never sure if there is going to be a special, or what the special is going to be. We also enjoy the ribs, senior seafood plate, and beef tips. The salad bar is great. Excellent local restaurant without driving a long way.“
