14 Best Seafood Restaurants near Topsail Beach

“We make sure to stop by the seafood shack at Lewis Seafood Market every time we visit Topsail! They have the best, freshest seafood on the island! We always enjoy checking out the market for fresh fish and fixins as well! Went by today and got the best snapper sandwich. Took a friend who got the seafood stew and converted him to a fan too!“

“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.“

“Our go-to every year! Never disappoints!“

“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!!“

“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+++.“

“Sushi was great! Came out fast and with awesome customer service!“

“Buddy's became our favorite place to stop in. We visited each day while we were there staying close by. So relaxing on the outside decks, enjoying the ocean breeze and sunshine. Walking down the steps to the oceanfront to take a stroll. We had snacks in the afternoon, dinner one night, and breakfast on the weekend. All were good and reasonably priced. We weren't rushed to get out after eating, so we kicked back to enjoy the awesome ocean view. The staff were professional and friendly each visit. We will definitely be back our next vacation!“

“Authentic Mexican, reminds me of CA. So glad we have this restaurant in our backyard.“

“We went for the first time during Christmas 2025 while it was decorated. It looked like a small Angus Barn. Every inch was decorated for Christmas. Wonderful atmosphere to sit in and enjoy the holidays. The food was excellent and the service was great! Highly recommend!“
