This is our favorite place by a wide margin. The food is always delicious, the egg rolls and quesadillas are our go to, but many people give high marks on the fish dishes (and shepherds pie). Where Fibber's stands apart are the people who make your drinks, serve, cook and care about the overall experience. You step in the door a customer and leave a friend. The bartenders are creative and will suggest (or make) a drink based on vibe, weather or whimsy. We have a few favorites, Steve, Liz, Holly and have had great experiences with the new faces too. Big fans, we always stop by at least 3x a week when we are in town. read more

Have been here a couple times. For the club, nachos and today the lamb gyro. The gyro was fantastic, tzatziki sauce was perfect in flavor and consistency. Served w chips or slaw I opted for slaw which was more vinegar based; it was pretty good ! Added a side of fries bc I can't have a gyro without fries and they were good; thicker fries. Service was good, I did takeout but the guy was friendly and fast. Ambiance was typical darker bar inside but the outside area is very pretty ! read more

I was in the area, so I popped in for lunch. The place was full but I got the last 2-topper table inside. There were lots of people sitting outside. I wanted to sit outside, but some of the tables were not in any shade. Too hot in the sun today. The bar was full (10 seats, I think). Once again Scuba Steve was my waiter. I ordered the fish and chips. I was told I could order regular fries, sweet potatoes, or onion rings. Well, one must have the correct chips! Watch out when you take your first bite. Both the fish and chips were pipping hot - right out of the fryer. The haddock was very tender while the batter was so crispy. Loved it and the chips too. Both were not greasy at all. Cooked perfectly It also came with a small cup of coleslaw, which was tasty and not overly heavy with mayo. I do think the pricing is a little on the high side for some items but the portions and quality of the food outweighs it. I plan to return and will bring my husband. He loves a good fish and chips. read more

Updated review. This place is great. We went yesterday for drinks and to celebrate st Patrick's day with friends of ours. It was extremely crowded but the vibe was friendly and upbeat. It was freezing cold but they had a band outside. I got rum punch and it was delicious . Forgot to take a pic lol. The food is pretty good here I have eaten there before and friendly service. I would definitely recommend you try this place. The seafood is fresh and delicious and the traditional Irish favorites are great. Definitely 5 stars read more

The food is fantastic and especially the corned beef egg rolls and onion soup! Always clean and the staff is very friendly. Food comes out hot and quickly, even when they're busy. read more

This is the second time I've tried food from Fibber Mcgees and I really enjoyed it. We ordered takeout to take to the beach and our food was ready on time when they said it would be and everything was still somewhat warm by the time we got there and ate it. We tried the pimento cheese with crackers and slices of cucumber app and it was delicious. Also, the Reuben eggrolls were fabulous. What a unique idea they had making this appetizer. One person in my group had a shrimp burger that said it was the best shrimp burger they've ever eaten, and I tried the cheeseburger and it was good with the coleslaw. They have a great app selection and lots of good options to choose from and it's easy to get to. I definitely recommend stopping here to try their food. read more

No highchairs created a bit of an uncomfortable evening but the service was good. Had the grouper bites - very meaty. Grilled grouper and ribs- enjoyable. Sat outside - was busy - road noise with no music. Plenty of parking. read more

Food and service is always good. Sitting inside is hard. The "local" patrons scream so loud you can hardly carry on a conversation with your lunch partner. read more

We love this place and the freakin' Grouper Bites are so good we always come back when in the area. Discovered this joint in 2021 and revisited now in 2024. It's always busy, so you'll need to be patient. Definitely worth the wait tho. Inside and outside seating. 98.5-A sanitation grade as of 2024. Service is great, place is clean. The ONLY reason for giving a 4 star instead of 5 would be there is NO kids menu and the Grouper Bites (my favorite) is just too small amount for the price! I love them!!! But four nuggs for $15 is steep. I paid it bc it's a vacay treat, but come on!! Give me some more for my bang!! I do love this Sunset Beach restaurant tho. Definitely a staple and treat. read more

After trying to go to some other restaurants that all seemed to be closed on a Tuesday, we tried Fibber McGees for the first time. The parking lot was crowded so we knew it was a good choice. We sat outside. The decor outside was beautiful with nice tables, flowers, heaters and outdoor string lights. Our server came over immediately and took our drink orders. She was very friendly. We each ordered a cup of she crab soup (the soup of the day). The soup was good. I would give it a 4/5. For dinner I just had the appetizer chicken fingers. They were quite tasty, and came out hot which I love. I know it's not hard to make chicken fingers but I've had some bad ones. My husband had the shrimp burger on a recommendation from our server and it didn't disappoint. That burger was legit. After having a bite myself I wish I had gotten it as well. Totally solid meal. Would definitely come back! read more

Food: I haven't gotten a dish I didn't thoroughly enjoy yet! I'm a grilled fish girl, it's my go to. BUT the shrimp burgers are amazing. Fish Tacos, yes please!! Service: Remember "Cheers" from the 80's, yeah, that vibe is real. When I walk in , my name is called out like I'm a member of the family. I'm always welcome. Ambiance: kinda depends on the time of day! Day drinkers, come on in! Evening dinner with friends, pleasant and full of fun. This was the first place I visited when I moved to the area and I have been making it a weekly routine since. Looking for a place the locals go, this is it. Delicious food and absolutely wonderful staff. You are in good hands at Fibber's in Sunset Beach read more

Been coming here for years. New owners, same menu, but quite a jump in pricing. Scallop dinner & Mahi Tacos (2) were good. I was shocked when I received my bill and was charged $18 for a dirty martini (grey goose). I order this drink often - and this by far exceeded what I've ever paid for a drink at any establishment. Was pretty disappointed. read more

Food is terrific.... We got take out, but we are coming back to enjoy the ambience with friends!

Drinks are heavy on alcohol but food is amazing. Recommend it and ask for Mary Jane as your server.

This has been a favorite place of ours to eat ever since we moved here almost 5 years ago. The food is amazing. There's nothing on this menu that I have eaten that I would not eat again I highly recommend everything on the menu. The service is impeccable. They really care and go out of their way to make you feel special, I love the ambience of this place. I love being able to eat outside with my family even if it's a little chilly they have heaters that keep you nice and warm. The lights outside are beautiful. Everything about this establishment is wonderful. We love this place and it is definitely a favor of ours. read more

We stopped by with friends after a round of golf and had lunch. We sat out on the patio outside and were seated immediately. The host was great offering options on where to sit as it was breezy and a bit chilly as a result. The inside is very small with few seating options and was full. We were glad to sit outside since it was sunny. The waitress was pleasant and we were served quickly. They offer a bread bowl for a limited time so we all chose the she crab soup in a bread bowl. The soup was good but not nearly the best as there is much competition in this area for the best she crab soup. The bread was excellent and made up for the average soup. Prices were moderate and we enjoyed out time. We would certainly go back to try something else on the menu. read more

We were in town for a quick visit, decided to try Fibber Mcgees and we were glad we did....Cozy small seating behind a very nice bar area. Service was great, food was great!! ....Owner came by to greet us and was very friendly. We will be back next time we are in the area!!! Thanks for a fun evening! read more

My husband and I love the shrimp burger. It's the best! Better yet is the service...ask for Holly! She is our favorite server. And for those that love Irish pubs you will like this place. Noisy, but aren't all pubs noisy. It's a fine atmosphere here! read more

Had to sit outside bc of the bar only seating inside, but didn't take away a thing! Outside decor is adorable, and tables are placed just right. Had the wrap with roast beef, and my daughter had the shrimp tacos. Both were 10/10, and the service as well. Server was very sweet and attentive. read more

Nice place to stop in for a bite to eat. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. We sat outside and enjoyed our lunch with good food and good service. Our waitress was nice and friendly. I had the fish tacos and they were very delicious. I highly recommend checking out this place. It was non stop busy while we were there. That is the sign of a good place. Stop in! read more

Visited as a local recommendation and understand how this could turn into a regular spot. Tried grouper (appetizer) for the first time and it's a great introduction to seafood for a cautious steak-eater. The french dip sandwich was absolutely spot on (surprisingly so) and the Guinness battered onion rings were amongst the best we've had in years! Friendly staff, very outgoing and enthusiastic and made us feel welcome. read more

Got to the restaurant at 1045 am to get a table on st Patrick's Day for all the live music. Was going to stay for all the bands eating and drinking. Planned on having lunch and dinner there. Table of over 8 people and spent $400 in 3.5 hours and was told we need to pay our bill because there were other people waiting for tables. We were ordering drinks the whole time and just finished eating and were planning to stay for the next two bands and have dinner. How does it make sense for a restaurant to tell you to pay your bill and leave the table. As a local I will never be back and support a place we use to enjoy going to. read more

I reviewed this restaurant a while back and wasn't thrilled with the food and service. I decided to try it again. We sat at the bar and had a great experience this time around. The service was excellent - bartended recommended the she crab soup bowl and it did not disappoint. Delicious. read more

We love going here in Friday nights when we come in for the weekend. The guy is A+ and is always on top of everything. The grouper bites are my go-to. But you can never go wrong with the Seafood Pot Pie when they have it. read more

Where do I even begin? Everything was amazing from the start! I walked up and asked how long the wait would be and was told about 15 minutes. Within 5-10 minutes there was a table for my family and I (5 of us total). The service was incredible, the food was absolutely delicious, and not a moment went by that our server didn't make sure we were taken care of and he was incredibly busy. This is such a cute and quaint restaurant and you can tell that everyone loves working here based off of how every guest is treated. I will definitely be making this a go to restaurant whenever I visit sunset beach again! read more

Fibbers is one of my "go to" options in Sunset/OIB. Excellent food, shrimp burger, service and bar. Love it! Can't go wrong

to start off, the drink taste metallic, like iron, the burgers taste so bad like if it came from a school cafeteria with fake meat. shit is so overpriced I rather spend my $20 at a McDonalds and get myself 10 double cheeseburgers instead. the only thing that was good out of this god forsaken restaurant was the nachos .the server was nice too, I feel bad she works in a place like this. read more

Nice local bar with outside and indoor seating. Surprisingly good bourbon selection. Service was quick and friendly. Had the fish & chips and my wife had the Rueben with onion rings. Good was very good. Highly recommend. read more

You absolutely MUST try their shrimp burger. There is nothing like it anywhere. Specifically how they make it is a big secret. It's peeled shrimp pieces pressed together with herbs in a patty and grilled, placed on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce tomato and remoulade sauce. Their slaw is very good but put a little remoulade sauce in your slaw to step it up a notch. It is SO good, you want to tell everyone you know. But hey, let's keep this a secret between you and I because sometimes there is a wait to be seated and if we tell everyone how great it is the wait might be longer. read more

Holy flies..and bees! Lordy! Sat inside by the bar and had to personally relocate a bee as well as dodge flies the whole time! Not impressed AGAIN! I keep trying and just not vibing with the place! read more

Holly is the best server. Food is always very consistently good, beers are good, but they're not cheap.

We had a sandwich and a beer at this Irish Pub. Service was fast. Guinness was always good as usual. Limited seating. Sometimes tough to get a seat according to some customers we smoke with. I had a roast beef wrap and my wife had quesadillas. Limited amount of parking but it is adequate. I am certain they will be busy on St. Patty's Day which is tomorrow. We paid with a credit card. I would recommend this pub. Pricing was normal as we paid $34 for two for our meal and a beer. read more

Excellent service and great food! We had the grouper sandwich and the fish and chips, they were wonderful! We will certainly be back!

This is one of our favorite Sunset beach restaurants. We are never disappointed great staff, food and atmosphere. Nothing has ever just been mediocre here! read more

Fibber Mcgees - Another perfect night at Fibber McGee's - New American Near Me - Sunset Beach, North Carolina

We eat here at least once every time we are in town. The shrimp burger is absolutely wonderful and the atmosphere is lovely.

We dined here around 7:30 on a Wednesday and were seated right away. Our server was prompt and friendly. We overheard him recommend the wings to the table next to ours so we ordered and they were definitely some of the best wings I've ever had, period. My dad ordered the fish and chips and they were phenomenal. My husband ordered the French dip and said it was good (he doesn't share), and I got the salmon BLT wrap and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend! Great food and great vibes, but would love to see some magners on tap when we come back (I love magners!) read more

Food is very good. Some great appetizers to choose from. Bar service is great and delicious specialty drinks. Everyone on the staff is friendly and very capable. Nice place to have lunch or dinner in the outside seating. read more

The place was a little difficult to find but no fault of the biz. GPS sometimes has a mind of it's own. The were a bit busy yet every attentive from the moment they put your name down to cashing you out. Whether sitting inside or outside everything was well organized and inviting. Food was very good and fresh...........starting with the Burrata down to our main meals - Fish-n-Chips and Chicken Wrap. This has been added to the list to return to when we are back in town. read more

Nice place. We didn't go inside but outside seating was very nice. Service was very good and staff was very friendly. Cheesesteak sandwich was fantastic.. didn't really care for coleslaw, but that's just me, my wife enjoyed it. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Bottom line: Fibber McGees is a good Irish pub stop. They have tasty apps along with good entrees and sandwiches, with satisfying drink choices. A diverse menu that pleases, and good service as well. The Deets: This recent trip to OIB, I got to make another stop to Fibber McGees Irish pub located midway between Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach, near the Ingram Planetarium. They have plentiful outside seating available as well as a nice inside seating area that is very pub like in atmosphere however a bit small, not very spacious. Our server quickly got us taken care of with drinks and any starters we were wanting to try...I went with the Reuben Spring Rolls. This Reuben sandwich/spring roll hybrid was very good, better than expected actually and the mustard dipping sauce went with the snack pretty well, a good choice for an app/starter if you are undecided. I went with the Fish and Chips entree since we were in a pub setting and it was a spot-on choice...perfectly done and tasty. My companions got the Green Fried Tomatoes BLT type sandwich as well as their Reuben sandwich and they were very happy with their choices also. My drink choices of Shock Top draft beer and Maschio Prosecco Extra Dry were good as well. Our server did a great job in taking care of us, good service with a smile. In all, a nice lunch stop here at Fibber McGees and I would visit them again for a satisfying pub like atmosphere and delicious pub menu eats as well. I am a fan! read more
