“We had a lovely time at Drift. The potatoes were excellent & the roasted pepper sauce was better than I expected. The mushrooms were too heavily flavored but everything else was great! The decor is cozy & relaxing. There’s a nice outdoor seating area also.”
“The shrimps and grits phenomenal.. Seafood platter was awesome.. The drinks were outstanding.. But to be honest , my husband's stake was awful.. The smorest dessert was a hit with”
“Just wow! Everything was awesome. Service was quick and friendly, food came out really fast and...holy cow...I have never seen so much food. My burger was cooked just right. Atmosphere was exactly what it should have been. 10 out of 10!”
“Adorable atmosphere with great beach views but it's almost always crowded and hard to find a seat. Also at the beach so if it's a nice day, good luck finding parking. The drinks are a little over priced but the views and atmosphere make up for it”
“I had the scallops and they were absolutely perfect. The only reason I gave a four star an atmosphere is it's just a little bit louder than I wanted for a seafood restaurant.”
“As much as I LOVE getting a Topsail Steamer when I'm in Topsail, NC, your new "ship anywhere in the country", through GoldBelly, did not work out for my Christmas present to my son and his family in Washington state. Delivery was delayed a day for reasons unknown. Everything had to be thrown away except the steam pot, the spices and the instructions. On the positive side, they went out and bought ingredients to replicate it themselves. On the negative side, that was not $249.00 well spent by me. I won't try shipping again.”
“The smash burger was good, although my fries were cold. The bone marrow oysters were good too. It was relatively quiet for a Saturday after noon. Nice place and I'll be going back to try the hot honey oysters. The rosemary lemon drop was delicious. If you get the crab dip, get extra pitas, they are so good.”
“Super friendly staff. I should have gotten their names. Great pizza. I asked the tall guy to put on golf stuff since it was just me, he did cuz he plays too. I wanted to see the shots of the peoples open. Great place.”
“Excellent seafood and drinks across the board. We would go back for the tuna poke and tacos. The oysters were shucked well, clean, and tasty. Smashed avocado aka guacamole and salsa were Telmex worthy. You pay a little more for but the experience is worth it. I agree below that the tenders are fine but not at the price ”
“Food was amazing . Had a the Botanist cocktail . Very good and refreshing. Beautiful atmosphere and views. And our server Carter was awesome. Very friendly, prompt and attentive.”
“Great little hot dog restaurant near the beach. About a dozen or so options on menu, but you can also choose your own toppings too. Cost less than $10 for two good quality dogs, fabulous!”
“Very good meal! Great view. Bread service was amazing!!!, she crab soup and oysters were great. Shrimp tacos were okay. My date enjoyed the scallops meal. Drinks were good. Would ”
“Husband and I had dinner on our way to our hotel. The atmosphere was good, but it was packed. Servers were friendly and professional but their outfits don’t leave much to the imagination. Food was delicious. The Ellote dip(Mexican street corn) was my favorite!Wheelchair accessibility: No very wheelchair accessible”
“Ignore the decor! It's old, shabby, dingy. Ignore the atmosphere. It's not packed like a frat house bar. Come for the food and the service. Best in the area. We had pork cheek and shrimp martini for starters - both amazing, pork cheeks are to die for! Then main of stuffed quail and scallops, both fresh and succulent. To finish off, blood orange ice cream and salted caramel ice cream - locally made, simply awesome finish. Staff go out of their way to attend to you. All in, a great experience! And whatever you do, get the pork cheeks if they have them ... Should win awards for it it was sooooo good”
“Cute place. Customer service was great. Everything tasted fresh. A little pricey but I don’t mind paying extra to support a local business that offers healthy foods.”
