We ordered the brisket, the Brisket Burger and the “Not Shrimp and Grits” which I HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!! The restaurant is very clean and the waitress was great! Service was fast also! If you’re in this area I definitely recommend you trying this restaurant. Not sure why it has the low ⭐️’s because I rate it as ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“I tell you what, that was the BEST breakfast I have had in a long time 😊. The environment was laid back and friendly. Most of all I want to thank my dear friend and waitress this morning for being on top of everything 😉. Love ya Jennifer Simmons and I hope you have a great day..“

“Staff is great Food is always great I highly recommend Chilli's!“

“If I could give a 10 rating 10 times I would! I ordered a 20-person package of bbq & chicken with slaw & potato salad. It was delicious & included iced tea, cups, paper plates, napkins, utensils, bbq sauce, hush puppies, & even salt & pepper…….plus ice. I couldn’t have asked for better food & service…….it was ready at pick-up time & rolled out on a cart with help to load into my car. I would definitely recommend this for a crowd & will definitely do this again!! Thank you, Smithfield’s in Shallotte!!!!“

First time eating here but I will definitely be back.
The food is great, the people are wonderful and the place is clean as a whistle.

The fries were perfect, the burger was bigger than i could eat but was delicious.“

“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!“

“I really enjoy visiting Sea Trail. I visit at least 4 times a year. The course renovations are a good start, wish you could finish though. You cut down so many trees, but left all the roots! And you buried cart paths, tar and all. How much more cost would it have been to remove tree roots and cart paths? And where is the driving range??? With 3 courses, you need a range!!!!!“

“Whoa. Friday - fried flounder and fresh cut french fries. Slaw. The very best fried flounder I’ve ever eaten. We vacation in Oak Island. Fridsy lunch at Sea Biscuit.“

“Food is great, service is great.“

“Very consistent place great staff and food!“

“I must first state I am a extreamly picky person. This was the best food I have had in a long long time. I am a local and feel that not only was our serivce exceptional but the food was on par with several mislin star places in New york that I have eaten. even food i usally dont like like squash i loved here. I will be 100 percent going back and look forward to it being my new spot.“

“The resturant to enjoy a sit down excellent meal in Sunset Beach NC. I had the grouper special and a spicy Bloody Mary, it was a delicious experience, I was surprised and thrilled to eat this meal, the sweet potato fries were excellent. when the next couple sat and asked what’s good, I couldn’t stop myself for yelling out the groupper is fresh and to die for. The service was excellent and they will be opening the down stair with live music for the summer. This is going to a daily spot to visit daily. Thank you to the cook and Christy.“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere and great service at Lockwood Folly Marketplace in Supply, NC! 🥪✨ Lee was so welcoming and made the visit extra special. A true local gem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Beaches Burgers cheeseburger reminds me of Burgers from the 70s...delicious till the last bite. Add a side of beer battered onion rings and a Cheerwine soda to wash it all down! Yes! It's a Southern thing! Try it! See y'all there!“

“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.“

“What an amazing experience! It was a quit place to have a cocktail. We had plenty of games to play! We started with darts then played the famous Keno. We had some luck, however, more luck to come. Thank you to Pam for her hard work and dedication at making our first time one amazing timepiece!!“

“I only gave a 4 on service because they were down a waitress and it took quite a while to get waited on. The food was very good and came out quickly after our order was finally taken. I do want to point out that Robbie, the young man that waited on us, was so nice. He didn't normally wait tables but he did an awesome job. I'm sure he doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. I would recommend this restaurant for a reasonably priced meal“

“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.“

“The staff this morning was on it. Smith and Sue Ellen are great!“

“Great place for cold beer and good food. Live music by Low Tide Revival was playing who put on a great show. Great prices on drinks and excellent sandwiches. I'll definitely be back :)“

“How they keep return customers, I don't know. We keep trying to have a good experience but have been disappointed almost every time. Parking lot looks like an area trash point, service is slow, food is mediocre (which is OK for a beach bar, if it is consistently good, warm and tasty). We need good restaurants in Sunset Beach, this one has a looong way to go. The food trucks in the park across the street offer a better dining experience, which is sad.“

“great food, great atmosphere, super friendly staff!“
