17 Best Vegan Restaurants near Southport

“Jumpin Java is one of our many things we MUST have when we come to visit the beach no matter the time of year!! We love the service!!! Everything we have ever gotten here is always fantastic!! I would rather have this any day over Starbucks. Also extremely convenient for us because you’re in the neighborhood also. ❤️“

“Food was excellent and large portions. Our server Pat was fantastic! She went above and beyond for us.“

“Have lived down here for 5 years. This is the first time we came to Oliver's, and we were not disappointed.! The food was amazing. The server jacqueline, really hustled and bustled with a smile on her face and very, very sweet! My husband is a diabetic and also on dialysis, and has to watch his intake on certain things. And they did his French fries without salt, like we asked, and instead of frying the catfish, he baked it . If I could give jacqueline, a higher than 5 stars. I would .“

“Was absolutely delicious! Any restaurant in the “ruby chain” (what we call it 😅) is AMAZING! Loved the Katrina tacos and Hendrix sandwich. Can’t wait to try more on our next trip.“

“I’ve loved Saltfish on CB for years, but the new owners have really kicked it up to a whole new level. I hate to make it more difficult to get a reservation in this cute little tiki bar, but I gotta sing their praises. The service and food have gone from ‘really good’ to ‘omg I’m gonna dream about this meal forever’. I’m currently obsessed with their scallops- they’re served with a stunning curry sauce, fragrant rice, fresh citrus slaw, and Maduros. It’s a beautiful meal and perfectly executed every time. Last night we got the coconut shrimp app, the scallops and their chicken katsu, and then finished it off with their homemade rum cake with candied pineapple and fresh whipped cream. Everything was just incredible. They’re staffed better than they used to be- service is quick and friendly. Expansive menu of tiki drinks. Definitely recommend reservations even in the off season- it’s a tiny spot with limited seating. 10000/10 definitely recommend this little gem.“

“Excellent service and very good food. Great location in walking distance from amusement park. Second time and plan to go again!“

“We've been to the Carolina Beach Boardwalk so many times but never stopped in to try the gelato. SO glad I stopped in this time. The young lady working the counter was so friendly, she greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. The store is bright and clean, they have items/souvenirs for sale. The gelato is beautifully displayed and the flavors are clearly marked. They offer gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free options. I chose the chocolate oreo for myself and the sugar-free strawberry cream for my husband. I was taking the gelato back to our rental unit, so she offered full-size spoons or tasting-size spoons and napkins, and asked if I needed an insulated bag. The gelato was smooth, creamy and delicious. We will definitely stop back in again on our next trip to CB.“

“Great coconut shrimp and shrimp nachos with beautiful view of the ocean.“

“Had a wonderful dinner there last night 5star across the board.“

“Need an On-Line order system for take out. Getting through by phone is difficult. I guess it depends on how busy.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 18th year anniversary and we randomly picked this restaurant because it was close to the house. We were not disappointed. When we got there we had to wait a bit for our table but had so much fen meeting and chatting with the hostess and one of the waitresses. I forgot how nice the people of NC are considering we come from DC and the service was TOP NOTCH. They were out of mozzarella sticks that night but we got the bang bang shrimp and it was delicious. The Pear Martinis were delicious and refreshing. Not sure if I remembered the waitress’s name but she was fun inviting and on her A game. When we left the waitress gave us a card and when I got home and opened it was so touched by the fact that everyone had signed it. Needless to say we closed out the place that night and the following night went back because the experience was so nice. The next night they remembered us and we known as the favorite couple. Made our weekend special. The girls and staff and amazing.“

“I was in Carolina beach for a business trip and stumbled upon Malama for breakfast. All I can say is WOW! The best coffee I have ever had and I'm a coffee snob. LOL. I also had the avocado toast and it was the bomb!! Now if I can just convince them to open a store here in Charlotte NC.“

“Always delivers great food and service. Reasonable prices and looks out for all of the locals year around. Our #1 choice for chilling with good folk!“

“Food is great, multiple menu options, & reasonably priced. #eatlocal“

“Jack Mackeral's is one of our Island favorites!!!😍“

“Spent an hour or two longer here than we expected because the bartender Ashley was so friendly she recommended great food (Mahi Tacos) and made excellent drinks. Glad we came at the beginning of our week vacation so we can go back a few more times. Highly recommend“

“Great coconut shrimp & grouper.“
