18 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.“

“We LOVE Daily Grind!! It has become one of our favorite parts of coming to Topsail! It’s always our first stop when we get on the Island, and we go every day, at least once a day. The iced lattes are my favorite, there are so many flavors to choose from and they are all amazing! The breakfast sandwiches are delicious, and so are the cinnamon rolls and apple fritters! We have yet to order something that we haven’t loved. Do not miss out on this amazing spot for coffee, breakfast and more! I’m counting down the days until I get to drink a Carolina Coconut iced latte! 😆“

“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!!“

“Amazing food and even better people! Great staff and customer service. Our favorite place on the island! Go to order. Fish Taco and The Real Dilla with Shrimp!“

“Always a favorite place to have a beer then in town from Pa! Great staff, good vibes and excellent beer!“

“Such a cute shop and their ice cream and cold brews are incredible!!!!“

“Hands down the BEST oysters and staff around.“

“we just left the crab pot. we had morgan as our waitress. she was very hospitable and friendly and helpful describing the menu. excellent teamwork from the staff. i noticed everyone working so hard. the service was quick and the softshell crab sandwich hit the spot. i highly recommend and we will be returning on our next trip to surf city!!! we left with full bellies and happy hearts. 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We went to dinner tonight upon recommendation of a friend. Loved being so close to the beach as well as the amazing food and service. We ate indoors because of cold weather outside. Casual atmosphere with great food. We will be back.“

“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!“

“My daughter and family came to visit me from Alaska! We've ate at a couple of different restaurants this week! Finally we found you on Google so we went and had an excellent meal! Service was friendly even though we came in a half hour before closing! The seafood was made to perfection! I'll tell anyone I know and even ones I don't to go and have a wonderful meal...Kudos“

“Great place to eat“

“I liked the multiple TVs and our server was very attentive, but I hated the parents bringing their kids and ruining our good time.“
