We started with an appetizer we have not had before and we really enjoyed it. Get the Crab dip. You get a hot, bubbly dish of the dip with some fried pita chips. Get some bread at the table too, so you can enjoy the dip if you run out of chips. My husband loved it so much he ate it plain. We got some excellent entrees this time. We had the Figure 8 stuffed flounder. Instead of the green beans and risotto, he got risotto cakes and sautéed spinach. Risotto cakes are really good. Nice and crispy and so tasty. We also had the lemon pepper scallops with risotto cakes and asparagus. We really enjoyed everything and our server was so nice. I didn't take a pic but I also had the handcrafted lemonade which is delicious. Unfortunately no room for dessert, but they have some yummy selections to try. We have enjoyed coming here repeatedly and do enjoy this place. We have had very few minor issues that were not deal breakers for coming in. As with any restaurant, they will have some minor flaws. Overall it is consistently good.

They just have a miserable kitchen staff or lack of leadership at management level. It will be a very long time before we return, but Dan and Jason at the bar were amazing! It is a sad situation that the "seafood" meals are hosed up! 2 stars as my chicken sandwich was decent. So disappointing! Such a cute place

We had a little trouble with the cooking, it simmered but didn't boil so took longer than expected. We also used too much of the spice so it was way too salty. That wasn't Topsails fault though! The seafood was delicious and a really fun way to have a meal. I think the cornbread should have been included though. Next time we will make our own corn and cornbread to go with it.

I have been trying to catch up to them and finally saw them by happen-chance. The staff were very friendly. I got the Grand Pooh bah Tray. Crab Clusters and shrimp and Sausage, which they were out of. They were about to close. She asked if I wasted something inits place extra broccoli or corn, I said corn, got Broccoli. It comes with 1 pooh-bah sauce, I ordered 2 extra but just got butter instead. The crab was very good. The shrimp just ok. The corn (1) was good. Potato's were ok. My friend liked the broccoli. The eggs were just ok. Slightly over cooked for me. A little rubbery, like I stated they were about to close, that could possibly account for this. For $75 this is a one and done for me.

Someone from our group drove 40 minutes to their Greensboro, NC setup and was met with kindness, prompt service, and a smooth pickup experience right at 12 PM. The trays traveled well and stayed in the fridge until 8 PM. Once we reheated everything--WOW. We were blown away. We ordered the Cold Poobah Combo, Cold Royal, and Cold Everything, and it was a ton of food: crab clusters, large shrimp, chicken skewers, fajita steak, sausage, potatoes, broccoli, corn, and delicious sauces for each tray. Everything was seasoned perfectly and incredibly flavorful. Here's the shocker: I don't usually like seafood, and this still ranks as one of the best meals I've ever had. They've taken a common seafood concept and made it 1000x better. The quality did not drop one bit despite it being a cold tray. This setup allows them to serve more towns without sacrificing flavor--genius! The Palm Punch was fantastic too--we even used it as a champagne mixer the next morning. Minor feedback: * It would be helpful to include reheating instructions via email or website * Had some issues adding extras on the webform--might be a server load issue * Only got 3 corn cobs--would've loved a few more over potatoes (next time!) Thank you for bringing this amazing experience to Greensboro. We'll absolutely be back--and we're already planning a trip to your brick-and-mortar location. Don't sleep on the cold trays--they are SO worth it!

Can't recommend enough. Great service and food…read more We tried the Maine lobster rolls with butter and mayo. The lobster is so meaty and tastes fresh. Perfect amount of food for lunch. While we were there, they gave us samples of the lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, and chocolate and raspberry whoopie pies. We loved everything. We were especially impressed that the lobster bisque was so flavorful without being heavy. Highly recommend, definitely one of the top places to eat here.

WAIT TIME/LINES We got there 1.5 hour till closing (7:30PM) and there was a decent line. We waited in line for about 25 minutes until we got to the registrar to order. Apparently, the staff member informed us the line was wrapped around the shack earlier in the day so I'd say we got lucky with our timing. SERVICE Customer service was excellent. There was a staff member consistently handing out samples of the Clam Chowder and Lobster Bisque while we waited in line. During our dining experience, the staff member came around with various samples of Whoopie Pies. DINING AREA There are a decent amount of picnic style dining tables around the back of the shack. All outdoor seating. I wish there was more shade as the sun was setting and it gets pretty hot with the humidity. FOOD - Maine LobSTAH Roll:I ordered this along with a few others in my party. It comes with your choice of Plugra melted butter, mayo, or both! The mayo was a packet, in case you were wondering. I thought it was a house-made mayo with herbs infused, which would be a great idea for them to add some freshness to the dish. The lobster was the star of the show -- fresh, large chunks, and a plentiful portion. The bun was toasted. It came with a lemon wedge, half a pickle spear, cole slaw, and a bag of Cape Cod potato chips. The cole slaw was tasty -- I appreciate the chopped approach. - Maine Lobstah Bowl: A few family members ordered this. It mainly consisted of lobster, slaw, and lettuce. Delicious. Overall, cute Main LobSTAH Shack with good Maine lobSTAH!

This was my first trip to "Carolina Girls", and while I had read what I could find about the food,…read moreservice and ambiance, I hope to improve upon reporting so others will have an easier time. First, I will say that the food was good! I have to admit that it was not what I expected, but here is what I found. I ordered a combination of shrimp and flounder, with fries and green beans as sides. See the photo of shrimp and flounder, with fries and green beans! Shrimp were small, about 50ct I estimate. They were lightly battered and very tasty. I expected larger shrimp, but given the light batter and excellent taste, I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp. The flounder was also lightly battered, and perfectly cooked. It was excellent. Fries are fries, and these were OK. But the real big surprise were the green beans! They were likely the best I've ever had. That leaves hush puppies, and their spread. The hush puppies could have been very good, but were served at just above room temperature. The spread was a butter substitute that was indeed sad. Here is my Professional Tip: Prepare and proudly present your own hush puppy spread. Make it by simply blending real butter and real honey and serve it in reusable stainless steel 2-oz containers. It would be unique, cost minimal, and set the pace for ambiance enhancement. Service was good, but they allowed kitchen staff to sit in the serving area and converse with customers. A little too "homey" for me. Lastly, in regard to ambiance they seem to be finding their "sea legs", as decorations did enhance the feeling of a seafood restaurant. Small improvements could be in changing ceiling light bulbs to a warmer 2700 Kelvin color range, and adding disposable place mats with three utensils, better napkins, and new condiment bottles. I know some may think of these suggestions as nit-picky, but please trust that I want this place to excel.
