    What a surprise on our way to the beach (OIB) - saw the restaurant on our way down and just had to stop on the way home. Really surprised to find TX style brisket and sausage as well as the NC favorites - pulled pork, pork ribs and a TX twist for pork belly burnt ends! Some smoked turkey on the menu as well. We grabbed two of their specials of the day - smoked burgers with cheese inside, served with some tasty bbq sauce made in house. We also grabbed some TX trinity to enjoy at home - brisket, pork ribs, and jalapeño popper sausage! Upon entering we were welcomed by the staff and offered menus and suggestions. Owner and chef/pit master was friendly as well and thanked us for stopping by. They've only been open since August so get out and support them if you are local and or in the area!! We want a great bbq spot to stop and to and from the beach!!

    Bottom line: In visiting the newest location of Sunset Slush on Ocean Isle Beach, I say still good…read morestuff! My original review at their first location still stands, and the icy treats are still as good as ever. Friendly and quick service as well. The Deets: On this recent trip to OIB, I found that Sunset Slush at yet another new location on the island area of OIB, this time on Causeway Drive on the way into the main part of the island (replacing the one they had at the OIB Fishing Pier, apparently). And as I have said before in other location reviews, it still is a good frozen treat no matter which location you choose. Still liking my mainstay flavors of lemon, lemon-lime, and tangerine Italian ice as well as the Sonic flavored slush/Italian ice (lemon-lime and cherry together), I love them just as much as when I had my first one here many years ago. You can still get the small, medium, or "coozie" sizes as like all other locations and the cart that goes up/down on the beach sand itself. It definitely remains a "gotta have" when at OIB. This location appears to be shared with a dessert shop as well called Sandcastles Sweets and Treats that has ice cream and other sweet delights but I have only sampled my favorite Italian ice/slush treats here. Service each time on this trip has been friendly and quick to fill each order. Still two thumbs up for this chilly treat!

    So many delicious options to choose from! Sunset Slush serves a variety of fun Italian ice flavors…read moreas well as ice cream and a small assortment of candy , including salt water taffy. The staff is super friendly--one of the kids in our party has some food allergies and they were very accommodating. Ample parking and reasonably priced. Check them out!

    My family lives on the island so I've been coming to Drift for years. It's a bit pricey, but you…read morecan tell they use high quality ingredients and whoever curated the menu put a lot of time into it. The avocado toast, the veggie breakfast burrito, the coffee cake, the smoothies, and the iced black amber are my go to's and they never miss. The service is quick, even though I know they get crazy busy during the summer. As someone who understands service/cafe biz, I will always give leniency to workers who are busting it during high volume seasons. The people who don't understand that a wait will be expected when you have one good coffee shop on an island that hosts thousands of people every summer are dense. Be kinder to your service workers, people. The most recent time I visited Drift, I was excited to try the Acai bowl. After I ordered, I was told that unfortunately they were out of Acai. They refunded my money and I ordered a smoothie instead. I was ready to pay for my smoothie when the employee told me the smoothie was on the house since they were out of Acai. Great customer service. I've been visiting Ocean Isle since there were rinky-dink water slides in operation across from what is now Drift. It's been wonderful to see a successful, quality coffee shop on the island.

    We chose Drift based on Yelp reviews and the menu choices available…read more It's a little coffe shop with a limited, but thoughtful, menu. The coffee was a good, bold brew. Mr. And I both ordered the market bowl. Quinoa, sweet potatoes, avocado, tomato, and a spring mix w a fried egg on top. It was beautiful! Then we bit into it. The sweet potato was barely on the brink of being frozen. The Quinoa was also cold...not just room temperature, but ice-cold! Avocado was way too cold as well. So, you can imagine what this did to the beautifully cooked egg... yep - turned it cold in a heartbeat. Really off-putting to bit into. Mr. went back inside and asked if they had a microwave to heat it up and the 'workers' just said that was they way it was supposed to be. Mr. tossed the entire thing in the trash and simply said "well, it's disgusting". You would think there would be a simple offer to heat it up, or some kind of remedy for the situation. They didn't give a crap. I'm pretty sure they flipped us the bird on the way out. Nice.
