Had a fantastic lunch at the Seaside Shanty! The decor is charming, the view is beautiful, and the food is absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly. I enjoyed the best cheesecake I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely be back next time I’m near Oak Island.
We stopped in specifically for the ceviche, which was listed on the website, but unfortunately the in-restaurant menu had been changed to a new season before our visit. Despite this intial disappointment, everything we tried was delicious. There are several gluten free options, however they were not marked on the menu.
The service was a bit disappointing though. Only one waiter was serving the entire restaurant so naturally, we had quite a long wait.

Sit on the patio if you can! The place was absolutely slammed when we were there (5:30ish on a Saturday) and there was only one poor server working. Turns out it was only her fourth shift (!) but she handled everything beautifully. Bit of a wait, but totally understandable considering how many tables she was juggling. Food was fantastic, view was lovely. Highly recommend making a stop here!
