“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.“

“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.“

“Stopped by here tonight on the way back to SC. We tried the corn ribs as an appetizer and they were AMAZING! 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love Sharky’s Waterfront Bar & Grill!“

“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..“

“The environment was very welcoming and the atmosphere brought back so many memories from my childhood times on a farm in my grandmas kitchen! I ordered the Cape Fear and wasn’t disappointed! It was perfect! Awesome service and food!“

“Great wings! Great service! Love this place!“

“We love the food!! The drinks are delicious too! The service is always great!!“

“My mom and I ate here a few months ago and let me just say, I’m very particular about my burgers. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET A BURGER! The tots were good, the experience all around was so good! I would definitely recommend this little spot to everyone!“

“We love Sunset Slush so much our daughter (we live in Iowa) wanted some of her Senior pictures there! Thanks to Kristen @ Reflections of Moments Photography for making that a reality! And thanks to you and your staff for our nightly slush run that happens for the best two weeks every summer!“

“We went to Mermaids for an early snack and drinks. The service we received was top notch. They even recommended a local seafood spot (Holden Beach Seafood). The fries were incredible and went well with the firecracker shrimp. It was great for an afternoon spot, even with kids. Star was so kind to us.“

“Oh my goodness do not just drive by this place- stop and EAT!! Bread great, homemade ranch amazing, calamari divine, seafood frutti di mare wonderful. My husband got the chicken parm and he couldn’t get enough. Finished with tiramisu cake and I could not praise the quality, preparation, and service enough!! Our server was so attentive and the chef came out to ask how everything was. Will be loyal customers here.“

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

“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!!“

“My wife and I just had a fabulous lunch at the Castaway Grill in Ocean Isle, NC. The hamburger lunch plate was great and the house salad with homemade ranch dressing was very tasty. The smash burger was also a hit. Great service, great food and honest pricing. Will definitely dine there again.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Inlet View is a hidden treasure. With expansive views of where the Shallotte River meets in Intracoastal Waterway, its beauty is matched only by the quality of its food. The seafood is excellent, whether fried or broiled, and I hear the steaks and pasta are also excellent. Recommended!“

“We have worked along side of Art Catering for years as a floral designer and planner, and can assure you that the food is of highest quality and very delicious! Super friendly and professional staff! They come highly recommended!“

“Food was hot and service was great. Ask for J.J. he is Dynamite!!!“

“SIMPLY AMAZING! Coming from an actual chef I can’t recommend this place enough! Food was PERFECT and the service *chefs kiss* (specifically our girl Sarah)! Come here you won’t be disappointed!“

“If you’re in Holden Beach and looking for a fun place to eat, hang out, hear live music, and enjoy the local beach atmosphere, Salty Dogs Cafe and Bark Bar is a must-visit. Great food, cold drinks, friendly service, and a laid-back coastal vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. It’s one of our favorite spots for lunch, and the nightlife is the best!. A great place to bring friends and family when they’re in town. Definitely one of the most unique restaurants and bars near Holden Beach. Highly recommend checking out Salty Dogs if you want good food, good people, and a fun local experience.“

“I love Jinks Creek, excellent food, super friendly staff, and some of the best live music around! Cant wait to 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!“
