“We have been to Topsail Beach many times, but this trip was our first to the Breezeway Restaurant. We came on a Thursday evening; it was very busy. The food was wonderful! We enjoyed it so much we came back again the next night, our last evening on Topsail. We had shrimp, flounder, deviled crab, oysters, and the world's best hush puppies and slaw. This is now our favorite seafood restaurant anywhere. The view of the sunset was spectacular. The service was top notch, with a shout-out to Caitlin and Lucy. We hope to return again next year.”

“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!!”

“We ♥️ Sundial! We have been visiting Topsail for years and it’s always a treat to stop into Sundial while we are there. Some of our favorite drinks are the bulletproof, The Sundial, and the Vanilla Rose cold brew… My kids always enjoy a cake pop or two! The fun sugar cookies are always a nice addition! I recently had a raspberry peach muffin that was absolutely divine! The staff is always friendly and efficient. The space is always bright, clean, and welcoming. 10/10! Can’t wait to visit again in a few months!”

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

“What a local gem! This amazing coffee shop in Hampstead can be easy to miss due to its location off 17. It’s in the back of the little strip plaza across from CVS, past the gym. Eric is amazing, their seasonal coffee menu was diverse and so tasty. These aren’t Starbucks grade beans, these are the real deal. They also have a nice array of gifts to shop from and a very private conference room for meetings, when you need more privacy.

Let’s patronize our locally owned, small businesses instead of the commercial giants whenever possible. My business will remain here, hope others enjoy as much as we do.”

“The atmosphere is great and beers are cold.”

“Visited this morning on the way back home after getting subpar coffee somewhere else (which was dumped out). So glad we did! Great coffee and friendly staff and cute shop!”

“Great food, even better people and atmosphere. As locals, we are weekly visitors. (well maybe more like three times a week on occasion.) We have NEVER not been satisfied. Ask my husband- it’s hard for ME to be satisfied. lol. But truthfully this is a gem of a spot, and consider yourself lucky if they get to know you and your order. Because this is “that kinda place””

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

“We dined at Shuckin’ Shack with a group of 10, and a puppy in tow. The waiter was absolutely phenomenal and the attentiveness to the puppy by bringing out a water bowl was top tier. This gave my family a last hoorah with Grandma, Uncle and Aunt! Phenomenal food to fit everyone’s appetite, excellent service and efficiency! Outdoor dining was completely covered and peaceful!”

“Super cute shop,we were excited to browse and purchase, while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. unfortunately, at 4:40 pm on a Friday, the barista was not making drinks for the rest of the evening. Understandable they close at at 5 pm, but why shutting down 20 minutes before? #disappointed”

“My wife and I stopped by to grab a bite and had a wonderful experience. The food was really good, the service quick and the atmosphere was our favorite part. We will definitely be back”

What a treat to have the very freshest local oysters anytime of year! We LOVE this place and the terrific employees!! A+++.”
