21 Best Seafood Restaurants near Topsail Beach

“Absolutely our favorite date night restaurant. The food is always superb, creative and presented beautifully. The drinks are on point and desserts are out of this world.“

“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.“

“The best!! Fresh, large variety with the most friendly knowledgeable service! Southern hospitality at its finest. We bought our haul fresh from the market and had it cooked on property at the Lewis Seafood Shack food truck.“

“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 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!“

“The best meal of the week. Seasoned perfectly and great portions. We even have leftovers for our last night at the beach. Treat yo’self and get a Topsail Steamer bucket!“

“Just found this place and absolutely loved it. Light and refreshing meal before or after the beach. Service was fast and the people were incredibly nice. The food is great and exactly what I needed after spending time in the beach. Highly recommend!! Loved the outdoor seating and chill music.“

“The garlic fries and spicy chicken sandwich (forgot the name) were to die for! However, our utmost favorite part of this experience was our waitress, Mikayla. She was very kind, attentive and beyond helpful! Seriously, the smiles in her section were endless. Great hire!!! We can't wait to come back!“

“Our group was seated in the bar area around back. It was a nice little area that over looked the sound. But there were a few patrons at the bar that had too much to drink that was being so obnoxious to the other seated guests. Other than that the service and food was good!“

“Great ladies night at Beauchaines! Food and service were both excellent and best Dirty Martini in town. Thanks for keeping the Filet Fondue. My favorite!“

“Spacious outdoor venue — picnic tables with umbrellas. Absolutely the MOST delicious farmed oysters I’ve ever had, served raw or roast your own on one of several grills. Amazing toppings for the oysters. They also serve sausages for grilling and yummy shrimp salad. Lots if other unexpected seafood options. Great beer selection. What a treat to have the very freshest local oysters anytime of year! We LOVE this place and the terrific employees!! A+++.“

“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!!!“

“This is a hidden Gem. We had the oyster sandwich and flounder sandwich. Both were loaded and delicious. The owner came by to see how we liked our food and told me he has plans for a raw bar and sushi next summer. He also said he planned to open the outside and have bands. If you are looking at this give them a try. A+“

“Without a doubt the best burger to be had in the county. Great service + quality food + decent prices = repeated visits! If it weren't for the fact we are in Ohio I would be your own Norm from Cheers! Highly recommended.“

“Good food, good wait staff and very friendly. Biscuits are fantastic. My fave is the Sawmill Benedict. Poached egg over Canadian bacon on a biscuit covered with gravy. So good and filling. Coffee is fantastic as well. Friendly staff make you feel like family. Lunch portions large and quite tasty. Service with a smile by all.“

“Last Monday Music BINGO night was our first time here. Marty the bingo host is fantastic! View is amazing! Our waitress was spot on the whole night!!!!! Our food.... husband had coconut shrimp YUM! I had the crab shrimp dip....new cook in kitchen put way too much old Bay on my pita chips ..when I mentioned it...waitress replaced them all no questions asked. Customer service was great. Peak tourist season it can be extremely busy extra patience is needed. Talking from years of food service myself and my husband.“

“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!!“
