19 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Surf City

“How did we ever survive in on Topsail Island without Maine Lobstah Shack!!! Having spent years in the New England region, I know good from great when it comes to Lobster! The lobster rolls are to die for and the lobster bisk is the best I've ever had. On top of that, it is a wonderful family owned and family run business. At the end of the day, it is the quality of the food that keeps us coming back! Treat yourself!!! Definately a five star experience!!“

“Love the teas and coffees and food treats. The relaxing environment is a plus.“

“I simply love this place! My first stop upon arrival to the island for my double fudge mocha frozen with 2 shots and the yummy homemade whip! This past week I witnessed Miss Pat give 2 younger people free coffees. The only thing she asked in return is that they pay her generosity forward. I love supporting her business while on the island. Until next year!!“

“Great food!! We make it a point to eat there when in Surf City!“

“The man that helped us was very knowledgeable on all the fish, and was very helpful. We ate our choices that night and all were absolutely delicious“

“A great place to hang out and relax. The owners build a great sense of community!“

“The new manager, Brandi, is excited about new changes being made! I ordered the Land Lover's Pizza and added tomatoes. The ingredients were so fresh that the flavors really popped!!! I would have preferred the sausage thinner sliced, but who can please everyone ??. This was my first time there, and it won't be my last! Really can't wait to try the new dessert pies they are creating. Sorry I didn't catch the young man's name who made the pie! Great job!!! By the way, I'm not a pizza fan at heart, but I might change my mind.“

“We were in walking distance of pelicans and went almost every night. We really enjoyed the wide variety of flavors. The order gentleman could be more personable, but the other staff was wonderful. We tended to look in the windows to prepare our selves for him. My children were always excited try a new flavor. We cannot wait to come back next year!“

“My husband and son and I went Saturday for dinner and as always, it was delicious. The crab dip always spot on and the best around. A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“

“I get the breakfast sandwich, eggs over easy, cheese and a sausage patty. I’ve ordered this before at other restaurants and NYCD is the only place that gets over easy right. Gooey and runny, just the way a perfect breakfast should be! Of all the places on and off island, this is the one to go to. Highly recommended! 💕“

“Super fun location near the beach! Lots of good flavors of ice cream and fun souvenirs. Prices are very reasonable. Also there's a huge screen projecting a kids movie. My daughter loved watching it and eating her ice cream. We also bought some taffy and ate it the whole way home!

Kid-friendliness: A must for kids! They will Love it!“

“Great experience! Food was excellent and wait staff were very friendly! They were very patient with us - we had a baby with us and they were great with her!
I had seated yellowfin tuna with fried green tomatoes! Perfectly seated! Will be back here!“

“Excellent NY-style Pizza! My extended family and I ordered 2 large "classic" style pizzas to-go recently (1 cheese, 1 pepperoni). It was the best NY-style pizza that I have had in NC. The foldable crust was crisp with great chew. The sauce was flavorful and NOT sweet. There was a good amount of cheese. We were born and raised in Manhattan (NYC) and really enjoyed the pizzas from Michaelangelo's - highly recommend! Also, the workers were very nice and friendly.“

“Great place to eat“

“Great food and even better service. We loved the vibe so we didnt mind that the AC was broken inside but felt bad for the poor staff who were drenched in sweat but still managed to take such great care of us esp our bartender Frannie as sweat literally dropped off her. We loved it and highly recommend but to the owner do better, fix your AC to take care of your staff!!“
