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.”

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!!”

    “Beautiful views inside and outside seating. Very welcoming upon entry. We had the grouper bites for an appetizer, and fish tacos and their signature burger. All was very good even the sides we had, hush puppies were very tasty. Only reason I rated a 4 star was for a little more effort on the table cleanliness. It was a little sticky when we sat down. Did not mention to server because it was very small issue compared to all the pros within the establishment. However the place was not busy at all and for the 3 people serving, I feel more attention to the cleanliness of their tables could be taken better care of. All in all a great place to eat. Expect a $70 bill for 2 people for lunch with no alcohol. I would definitely come back.”

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!!!”

    “Ordered a side ceaser salad with grilled chicken. Due to severe food allergies I asked if it was possible to get the chicken without any seasoning and cooked separately from all the other chicken. They so kindly cooked the chicken separately without seasoning to ensure I not only enjoyed my food but was safely able to eat it. They also were kind enough to add tomatoes upon request and provide extra dressing. The lettuce was shredded making it much easier to eat with to go (plastic) utensils. The food was delicious, the staff were very friendly and beyond accommodating. Would highly recommend. I would have snapped a picture but ate it too quickly to get a pic.”
