Yes there is a sign post that you can not see from the entrance not to park where I parked unless you get out of your car but you can not see it! Due to the hostility of the individual, I got in my car and drove to Seaview to get my fish. I am a local and try to support local businesses. Well, you have lost my custom! Bye, bye Blackburns. Too well off to let me nip in to buy fish after 5pm today. In comparison I got a warm welcome and smile at Seaview! They got my business!

This was our second year in a row ordering from Cape Fear Boil Company, and just like last time, it…read morewas a fantastic experience. While they don't offer dine-in, their carry-out steamer pots are the perfect way to enjoy a coastal boil from the comfort of your home or vacation rental. We ordered The Traditional pot, along with cornbread muffins, which were absolutely delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the seafood was well-seasoned, and the portions were generous and filling. Liam helped us during pickup and was great, he walked us through the cooking process, answered any questions, and made sure we had the instructions. His attention to detail and friendliness added to the overall great experience. It's a fun, easy, and consistently satisfying meal that you prepare in the comfort of your own space without any fuss. Cape Fear Boil Company has quickly become a tradition for us, and one we look forward to every year. Highly recommended!

I selected white wines I was not familiar with - both were good. It was near our beachfront hotel and a pleasant ambience. Service was helpful there and tried finding me the free crackers that come with the soup. There was none available yet I used a substitute for crackers in my snack cache. We came here after moving to our second hotel in Wilmington to spend some time on the beach and be closer to our family. It turned out that the grocery store was closer to our beach hotel than the one in downtown Wilmington. Will mark this as the grocery store to come to when we stay at Wilmington again.

Not to mention they were fully staffed, several employees were stocking and organizing, and there was still cashiers at every sinlge checkout and additional employee at self checkout. I could not find the itemI came for. I asked an employee that was busy stocking shelves where the item was and he happily without hesitation told me what isle and walked me directly to the isle and down the isle all the way to the end where the item i was looking for was. I hate that I didnt ask for his name, but he went above and beyond.

The…read morecharming and welcoming atmosphere provides everything from organic produce and freshly baked goods to craft beers, wines, and gourmet items. The Veggie Wagon focuses on supporting local farmers and artisans, making it a go-to spot for fresh fruits, vegetables, jams, and handmade snacks. They also feature prepared foods, like sandwiches, salads, and grab-and-go meals. My personal favorite go-to is grabbing a cup of coffee and one of their freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies. The shop is a staple in Carolina Beach and often holds music and wine events on the weekend. They have a beautiful new patio with a lot of seating making it the perfect spot to have a glass of wine while listening to live music. Make sure to check out their social media for what's happening while you visit.

If you're even thinking about seafood, do yourself a favor and go to The Shuckin' Shack Oyster Bar…read more Everything we had was absolutely on point. The raw oysters were incredibly fresh, the steamed oysters were packed with flavor, and the mahi fingers were perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside and tender inside. The crab dip? Easily one of the best I've had--rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor. To top it all off, we washed it down with their in-house made sangria, which was the perfect refreshing finish. You can tell they really care about quality here. Great food, great vibes, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. Dena and Stephanie are the best so perfect place to eat.

A great place to eat!…read more Me and my parents came here for lunch as we heard it was highly rated. Getting there was a little tricky but that was the GPS' fault. It has a nice big parking lot and we were shocked that on a Thursday afternoon, it was packed. When we walked in, we were greeted nicely and seated at a booth. The booth was nice and spacious. The table was clean, silverware was mostly clean, and there was salt, pepper, and I believe paprika shakers already on the table. One thing that impressed me heavily, is that there was a napkin dispenser already on the table. I can't tell you how frustrating it is when you have to ask for more napkins at other restaurants, and your server is nowhere to be found, or when they bring you some, but it's not enough. This is huge for a food critic like myself and this should be the standard at all restaurants. Our server was nice. She was knowledgeable about the menu and honest about what was good and what wasn't as popular. The food was good! I got the swordfish tacos with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of baked mac and cheese. The baked mac and cheese was excellent (it's quite big! You may want to make that your only side or share it with someone). The garlic mashed was good too. The swordfish tacos were good, but would've liked a little more meat in there. Still, flavor was great. My parents both got lobster rolls which they liked and my dad got the crab chowder and he said it was fantastic. Their chowder's is what they are famous for; will try that when I go back. Server was attentive, brought us refills and did an overall great job. Food is reasonable priced too and it looked like the store manager checked up on us a few times which was nice as well. Overall a great seafood restaurant to eat at. I recommend going if you are in the area; would like to go back in the future!

The atmosphere might be nice but set your expectations low when it comes to the mixed drinks…read more I'm convinced the restaurants policy stating no refunds on mixed drinks is because they are that bad. We ordered painkillers and it was missing a key ingredient, the coconut puree. When asking the manager about it and expressing our concerns about the drink not being made correctly, he reiterated the restaurants policy of no refunds on alcohol. When told him the drinks were missing a key ingredient, he brought out shot glasses of coconut puree syrup instead of having the bartender fix them. Not a good service experience.

I enjoyed my grilled catfish sandwich seasoned with citrus. You can also change the seasoning to Old Bay or Cajun. The catfish was tender and had great flavor. The thick cut fries were crispy. The sandwich could have been a little more filling. After eating the sandwich and all the fries, I felt satisfied. My partner thought the buffalo sandwich was good, except it had too much blue cheese for his preference. He liked the bloody Mary's. Unfortunately, no dessert options at this time. But there are plenty of dessert options at the boardwalk. The meals were a bit pricey, $14 each. Granted, it is on the boardwalk. There is also an extra charge for using credit card. For our bill with two bloody Mary's, it was an extra $1.72. Our waitress was great, friendly. Karaoke is every Saturday night.
