Stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner. Had the classic Ruben sandwich with Cole slaw and an ice tea. Sandwich was incredible. I understand why this place gets such high rating! read more

The food was very simple and not having much taste. There is a lot of room for improvement. Also, the lack of taste in the food isn't compensated by pricing (don't expect Costco hotdogs). The service was fine. read more

If you want fresh, well prepared food get to the Causeway Gourmet before the crowds arrive otherwise you'll be waiting. They have daily specials and trusted regulars. The salads they prepare are hands down some of the best I've had anywhere. Plenty of protein, and lots of fresh Ingredients like: avocado, egg, cheese, bacon and lovely cherry tomatoes. They make creamy, full dressings that are so good you want to take home extra. We tried the clam chowder also and it was full of potatoes and well made. The base was delish! This is a keeper this place. read more

A nice local spot that we decided To order takeaway from. I had a turkey sandwhich with peach compote that was very good! The sweet compote paired surprisingly well with the onion, Mayo, turkey, and bread. The sandwhich has a good filling serving of meat and toppings. My daughter kids meal of spaghetti was actually rather large. It was tasty too. Definitely a good value there. Only reason for 4 stars is because they were out of my first 3 choices of sides. So I settled on potato salad which was ok.. but just kind of filler. Worth a stop if in the area! Will have to try the pie next time! read more

We've loved every meal we've had from here. My fav is the chicken Delaware. Always delish!

Food was great, service however lacks something to be desired.. Server got 3 of the 6 orders wrong, and she argued with one of those about their order, kept trying to give her the wrong sandwich.. Once we got our food, she wasn't attendant to our table, the restaurant was basically empty, had to repeatedly ask for things before finally getting them from a separate server.. read more

Everything was pretty perfect as usual; food, service, atmosphere, we are never disappointed at Causeway Gourmet. read more

The food and service was great. Have also had delivery. . N n

Poor customer service. I have no idea what the food is like. I arrived after 7 PM. There were eight people in the restaurant. I stood and waited 10+ minutes before a nice young lady said the kitchen is not able to handle any additional guests at the moment but if would have a seat, I should be accommodated in about 10 minutes. No problem. 2 additional tables(4 people total) left. I waited 25 minutes and decided dinner wasn't happening here. Kudos to the young waitress who was honest and was able to address me. Thumbs down to the non-existent manager(whoever that is)?? if the owner/manager knows that they are extremely busy during certain days/times, hire more staff and pay appropriately! read more

Food was well prepared and delicious We have been eating at Causeway gourmet for over 4 years and it never disappoints read more

One of my favorite restaurants! Sandwiches are stuffed full of filling. Sides are delicious. Salads are fresh and flavorful. And the desserts are amazingly delicious!! Service is quick . You order before you are seated. Place is casual and family friendly. read more

Food is always amazing! Everything on the menu is delicious, we make eating here at least once a priority when we come to the beach and honestly look forward to eating here as much as the beach. Can get very busy at times, just make sure you order about 40ish minutes before you want to eat at dinner rush, but the staff is so nice and it's honestly worth the wait read more

Amazing array of desserts and treats! All homemade! We had a lovely time for dinner, enjoyed their soup of the day and kids chose the psgettj (it was a hit!). Service was so great, incredibly friendly and patient with us. Ambiance felt like a neighborhood staple. Clean inside and out. read more

This mini local restaurant may be small but they made way for our huge party to have their rehearsal dinner. It got a little cramped for our size but their service was accommodating. We had place cards made so that the hosts and servers new who and what we've ordered on their menu... Their portions were big and a majority of our party ordered the steak with mash potatoes and asparagus. They cooked our steaks to a medium.. some more pink than others and they were able to make minor adjustments to ensure we were satisfied with the cooking off our steaks. The chicken marsala was another entree I really enjoyed. If I had more room for my belly I should've snuck towards the bakery and gotten some pie. We were so happy that we had great service and a great portion of food. The waitresses and waitors were attentive and had patience for our large party. read more

Second time getting takeout. First time I got the godfather sandwich with pasta salad. This time I opted for their beef enchilada lunch special. Both times food has been amazing and service fast and friendly. read more

Great food. Not the place you go for ambiance, not the place you go for a romantic dinner. This is just flat out really good food including amazing deserts. Home made dishes. Nice, casual staff. This is not a tourist destination. read more

Great takeout option. Sandwiches and desserts are all wonderful. Service is also solid

All around a great place to visit and have lunch, dinner or some of their exceptional desserts.

Food is absolutely amazing. Love eating there everytime we go to Ocean Isle. Their desserts are also delis. You have to try the peanut butter brownie pie! read more

Still my favorite lunch spot time and time again, year after year. Their food is always so yummy and fresh. They also make the best specials and the best desserts. They've got the quick southern hospitality that I enjoy and will continue coming here and telling all of my favorite people to do the same! Y'all are the best in the area! Keep it up!! read more

Oh My God(father) this place is good! Based on the reviews, we came in with high expectations and they were indeed met. We had lunch in their rather plain, but in the process of being updated and expanded, dining room. We split the Godfather sub and the pear & walnut salad. Both were superb! The Godfather sub (OMG!) was as delicious as previously reported. It was stuffed with tender, marinated, thinly sliced grilled sirloin, sautéed onion and peppers, melted mozzarella on a oven toasted hoagie with pesto mayo. The salad was chock full of toasted walnuts, pear slices and Bleu cheese. The housemade Coconut Cake at $6 was killer! At the very least, get a slice (or 4) to go. Service was friendly and attentive. And sanitation score was an impressive 98.5 but bathrooms were out of paper towels and soap dispenser was broken off wall. Overall scores... Food quality: 5 Food value: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3 Cleanliness: 4 Desserts: 5 TOTAL: 4.5 read more

My family's vacation spot has been Ocean Isle when I was growing up and for a few years after it was a yearly thing. Life has gotten in the way as I have gotten older and I was able to attend the family trip for the first time in six years. Blessings of 2020. Anyways I want to give major props for the improvements to the food on the island. I was pleasantly surprised this trip and this place tops my list. We ordered the Sunset Shrimp, Flounder, Grilled Chicken Farfalle, and the Shroom Sandwich. Everything was amazing! The Flounder comes with spaghetti with a lemon sauce that is super tasty and the chicken farfalle is super flavorful as well. The Sunset Shrimp is sort of a combination of Alfredo and tomato sauce. Everything was delicious and all of the portions were large enough for leftovers. Super thankful for this addition! Highly recommended if you haven't been! read more

I've been there a few times and love their Thai Beef Salad. They have a good variety of salads, sandwiches and pastas. I haven't tried their baked goods but they also look great. Service is efficient. read more

Causeway Gourmet is a lovely local restaurant serving up excellent eats just before the bridge to Ocean Isle Beach. It must get quite busy in the summer, but during the offseason it's a haven for locals looking for quality dining in Brunswick county. Typical of the area establishments, Causeway Gourmet has a cozy, no frills dining area and paper menus. The decor is simple and clean, with tasteful local artwork adorning the walls. There are booths and an assortment of 4-top tables, which look like they can be moved to accommodate large parties. There's no full bar, but they do offer a selection of wine and beer at reasonable prices. Sadly, on our visit, they were running low on wine, with none available by the bottle and the only white was a Sauvignon Blanc. We opted for a glass of the Josh Pinot Noir to accompany our meal. In addition to the amazing food, you can expect stellar service from the moment you enter. The restaurant was happy to accommodate my gluten allergy, even offering to make me a special version of their shrimp and grits so I could enjoy our local, sweet, succulent beauties. (The regular version uses a tomato cream sauce with a roux, so that's off-limits for Celiacs.) In addition, many of their entrees are gluten free, like the salmon and the lemon chicken, and they can do most of the sandwiches in a lettuce wrap as well. read more

Bottom line: Causeway Gourmet delivered a great meal to make the first night in the rented beach house easy as well as tasty. Well prepared entrees and sandwiches that beat the hum-drum of usual beach delivery options. If you want a nice meal upon your OIB arrival but don't feel like going out again or making it yourself then Causeway Gourmet is the way to go. The Deets: On the first night of settling in to our rented beach house for the week, we decided not to worry about making something to eat and to go for delivery...but make it a nice meal. We started looking at the offering for local Causeway Gourmet and since they had delivery, decided this place was the way to go. They had a variety of selections that appealed to the varied tastes of the house from the "Godfather" sandwich, chicken Cobb sandwich, a grilled mushrooms and pasta dish with spinach, Chicken Marsala (which I went for personally), and other items. We were not disappointed, in our selections or the reasonable amount of time (quoted an hour to hour and half considering it's the first day everyone around the island gets in for the week, and it really didn't take as long as we thought). My Chicken Marsala was beyond good, it was excellent for a delivery type of option...perfectly flavored, definitely not boring or bland but not over seasoned as well. Those that got the grilled mushrooms, spinach and chicken with pasta raved about it and I had to have a taste...they were right, another winner. Others enjoyed their sandwich options as well. I am going to say I wish I had tried Causeway Gourmet during trips in years past, this delivery meal made our first night in the beach house an easy one as well as a very delicious one. I am sure visiting their restaurant location would be a treat as well, would love to do so in the future! Two thumbs up! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this food, this business, or the awesome people that make it all happen (Maggie, we love you!), and mr delivery guy, you deserve a medal. Always hot food and you are always friendly. The Godfather is the best sandwich I have ever had. The shrimp and grits are divine, and the pan fried Chicken Delaware is phenomenal What sets it apart though is the Key Lime Pie. We order the whole pie every time. It's simply put, the best pie we've ever had. Order this good dang food today! read more

BEST PLACE EVER!!!! I order from here at-least twice a week. Never gotten anything I didn't love!! Ordering on the earlier side is the key to avoid super long wait times, but other than the occasional hour or two wait everything here is perfect!!! read more

Delicious food! But do takeout. This place is really noisy! Hard to have a conversation across the table. Get dessert. So good.

We love this place! Really great food and quick service. Perfect after a day at the beach! Side note, not great gluten free/vegetarian options besides salad. read more

Fresh and delicious food. Constantly good and service is excellent. Crispy salads and main dishes that are traditional with a flare. Desserts offered are the perfect ending for your meal. Highly recommend. read more

This local lunch hot spot is a must if you live here or plan on visiting the area. They have a lot of options and change their soup schedule daily so always call ahead to find out what they have. My favorites are the blackened salmon on top of salad with their goddess dressing, chicken salad and many of the homemade soups. They tend to stay busy so you can order to go or stay in their extended dining room. read more

Delicious food and had food delivered to house, food was delivered quickly. The Godfather sandwich is delicious and we got turtle cheesecake and coconut cream pie. The desserts were excellent. Friendly staff and delivery person. read more

Attentive staff. Great food. I could imagine that this place gets very busy during the summer season. It's nice that they also have a selection of beers. I had the turkey reuben with potato salad. My wife had the roast beef (Andys?) and a bag of chips. Yummy read more

100% hands down the best dessert on the island. Great selections. You will not be disappointed.

Isn't fancy but their food is great! I have only had sandwiches twice and everything tasted fresh. I will be back to try their delicious looking salads and desserts. read more

Really enjoyed our dinner from Causeway Gourmet. Thank you for the yelp reviews & the recommendation from Terry's friend, Dave. We got three sandwiches and shared them. The Salmon BLT, Ham & Cheese Croissant, and The Godfather. Also tried the Cape Fear Dip based on yelp recommendations. Everything was excellent and we could not pick a favorite from the sandwiches, they were all so good! Do not miss this treasure!!! read more

Friendly and attentive staff. Food is high quality and portions are generous. They have a great selection deserts!

Ordered salad with my meal, on third bite gagged on a long hair. Asked to speak to manager, who was extremly rude, barely offered an apology and took the $4 off the meal. Should have taken a picture of it. Must be a common occurrence. Stay away if you value cleanliness. read more
