8 Best American Restaurants near Surf City

“The food was great and the staff were very nice. I have a gluten allergy and they were very accommodating as well as safe. Chairs could be more comfortable and nose level a bit less but I definitely recommend and will go back again!Dietary restrictions: They have a designated kitchen for gluten free and vegan.“

“Everything is good !! I've never had a bad meal here. Had breakfast today and it was worth the detour off the parkway. Omlet and i got a sandwich with over easy eggs sausage american cheese and French toast as the bread with maple syrup & “

“A dreamy iced coffee that I can't wait to come back and enjoy again. They have small and large sizes, a variety of flavorings, and you add your own milk choices (regular, 1/2&1/2, almond, other). Just a lovely place, great atmosphere and perfect for stopping in or staying to work.“

“Excellent place to eat. I've been here 8 or more times over the years on a date night and with three grown boys. Never did anyone order something they did not like. Always good service, fun and creative food for the family. Prices are very fair. My wife loves the fish/shrimp taco and I always get the pulled pork on a pretzel roll. Their catchup is great, not you standard out of the bottle kind. They leave wipes and a roll of paper towels on your table, so you can get messy and not worry. A great casual place to go out and not break the back.“

“The couple who owns this are the absolute sweetest and went above and beyond in making sure we had what we need. We are also dairy free so to not only be able to order vegan ice cream but to have SEVENTEEN homemade choices was fantastic. It was also the best vegan ice cream I’ve ever had. So glad we stumbled upon this gem and can’t wait to come back. After all, I have sixteen more flavors to try. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“As someone with Celiac disease, we often "miss out". It's so nice to have a place that "gets" gluten free and offers great options. I had the chicken cheese steak with fries. Both were delicious! The gluten free roll was soft, not dry & crumbly. The fries were some of the best I've ever had - fresh, crisp. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended giving them a try.“

“Excellent experience, the lovely hostess, Fatima (sorry if I misspelled your name, sweetheart) was absolutely amazing. She gave my wife fantastic recommendations for local attractions. She made sure our allergy and dietary requirements were known to our server and that it was my wife's birthday. She also made a point to stop by our table and make sure everything was going well after seating a nearby table while we were waiting on our food to arrive. What a beautiful smile, she has. I will forever carry cash in the future for the off chance that I encounter another Fatima, employees like her deserve tips as much as the servers. I hope you guys are taking good care of her!! Total gem. I wish she lived nearby our family restaurant. I'd try to poach her in a heartbeat. We will defintely be back on our next visit to Surf City!!“

“The food was very well prepared and tasty. Way over priced . $60 for an average size piece of halibut over a bit of spinach. Duck was enjoyed by others I was with and at a better price point (still high $48) Menu is always the same. Nothing particularly special, but all good. Service was good. I would suggest this place if the price doesn't matter or it's a very special occasion and you need a more upscale place. Otherwise, save your money. Eat with regular folks (e.g. not the Love Ladies crowd) and save your money for a really special meal that matches the price.“
