We enjoy going to fixins for a breakfast/brunch, have not yet tried their lunch options. We have had pancakes (fluffy with crispy edges), the breakfast platters with eggs bacon grits and biscuits and gravy! The sausage gravy is a big hit! They have several gluten free options, the GF biscuit is delish! Service for us has always been top notch with very friendly staff from the hosts, servers and the chef even comes out to speak every time and check on how you enjoyed things. A nice touch. It is small and cozy on the inside, so it can get busy and go on a wait easily. But we love it! read more

Ordered steak and eggs and when arrived I was hmmm maybe not. Let me tell you the steak was amazing and full of flavor, not your typical just cooked steak it was seasoned great and eggs over medium well were cooked to perfection. Will definately be back again maybe tomorrow and another review. read more

This place is ok. Service was ok. I ordered the chicken and dumplings and it was so watery. No flavor whatsoever. I also found a random egg shell in it. I would rather go somewhere else. read more

Met a friend for breakfast because she likes the gluten free options. I had a simple egg, ham biscuit sandwich. The egg and ham were great the biscuit was cold, dense, dry and crumbly. Waitress was excellent as was the hostess who seated us. I tried Fixins over a year ago and didn't go back because the biscuit and gravy plate was not great. I heard there was a new chef so was open to trying it again. I recommend the restaurant as long as you don't want biscuits. Every breakfast restaurant in the South should have a good biscuit recipe! read more

We ventured outside our usual breakfast spot to try Fixins one morning. They were really nice and brewed some decaf coffee for me which I appreciated. The folks working in there were great and super friendly. The food unfortunately was a little underwhelming. The gravy and the grits were SO runny and the gravy was not only watery but totally lacked flavor. Adding salt and pepper only helped some. The breakfast potatoes were just frozen potato wedges. The waffle I really enjoyed because I don't eat waffles very often. If we go back, we would steer clear of the grits and gravy. Unfortunate, because these are two staple southern breakfast items. read more

Very cute inside with a homey feel. Great service as well with the chef coming out the check on every table. Food was AMAZING, the fried chicken was perfection because it had that crisp and juiciness. The omelette was fluffy and tasty too. read more

Fixins - Fried chicken with Mac and cheese/ biscuit The Liberty Omelet with potatoe wedges/ biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Island, North Carolina

We spent our holiday at Oak Island, and on our last day, we were searching for a spot to enjoy breakfast before hitting the road. With a large group of about 15 adults and 3 children, we called Fixins to check if they could accommodate us. They let us know about a small room perfect for our group, which was such a relief. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted, and the hospitality was outstanding. Our waitress was not only kind but also helpful in recommending dishes. I ordered the chicken biscuit and loaded grits--both were delicious, though I personally prefer my biscuits a bit softer. However, the grits were exceptional and truly stood out. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, and it even passed the ultimate test, the toddlers loved it too! The customer service was absolutely top-tier. The prices were decent and not too expensive. Thank you, Fixins, for making our breakfast experience memorable! read more

All the breakfast food was just kind of bland. Nothing special. I was expecting more southern flavor. There are better breakfast places in Oak Island. read more

Great breakfast place very accommodating to a large party. Really enjoyed my breakfast burrito

Fast service and good quality food. Very accommodating and comfortable. Inexpensive as well.

Had a great brunch on a rainy week at the beach at Fixins! If you're looking for a place on Oak Island that kicks your standard breakfast up a notch, this is the place to go. They have all sorts of choices, from build your own breakfast bowls, grit bowls, and chicken n waffles platters. There definitely seems to be a focus on the fried chicken here, and I can see why! I went with the chicken and waffles breakfast personally, and it was picture perfect. Crispy breading with a nice seasoning, tender juicy chicken, all paired really nicely with the sweetness of the syrup and hearty waffles. The chef came around checking on the happiness of people with his food which is always nice to see. As the day wears on, they shift more toward lunch (though it appears you can order breakfast all day), and there are bone in chicken options and platters available. It's not a big place, so during peak season you can probably expect a wait. We happened to be there during a storm that ran a lot of people off their vacations, so we actually did not have to wait at all. This is a great place that we would return to in the future! read more

Pimento cheese is amazing!! Try the omelet, you won't believe how good it is!! And breakfast potatoes were on point!

Both food and service were great! I got the egg white omelet and it was so good!! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

Ordered the chicken salad (spinach) wrap for lunch. It's the best chicken salad I've had. The magic ingredient has to be the apricots.

Stopped in for the first time since making this area our home.. What a friendly group serving up a wonderful breakfast. The food was hot, tasty, and extremely well priced.. I can see making this a go to for tasty eats and good conversation. We'll be back!! read more

Just a quick update. They have STEVIA sugar! Their jam is real not that spread crap! Real butter too! They have bald Head island coffee (premium coffee folks!) service was spectacular! Best breakfast on the island! They have updated their decor. read more

Always a pleasure to go to Fixins! Great service, wonderful food, worth the wait if there's a line.

We discovered Fixin's last year, and it has quickly become our favorite breakfast spot on the island. During our most recent visit, we ate there three times! The ingredients are always fresh and perfectly prepared, and it's clear the owner and chef takes great pride in his work. His passion shows not only in the food but also in the way he takes time to visit tables, deliver meals when he can, and genuinely seek feedback. The servers are consistently attentive and provide top-notch service. This place is a true gem--I can't say enough good things about it!. read more

best breakfast in the area! i go there every Sunday morning to eat, early of course there will be a line if you wait until 8 or later. The chief always comes out to check on you amd the food and they even offer cooking classes read more

We ate breakfast at Fixins while spending a week at Oak Island. It was good. My breakfast burrito was solid; it was served hot with the eggs properly cooked and plenty of meat and other fillings. The accompanying breakfast potatoes, also known as frozen potato wedges, were served warm and had a starchy consistency indicating that they could have used more time in the fryer. The breakfast bowl my dining companion tried was also good. The eggs were over easy as requested. It featured fresh spinach and she thought the yellow grits were especially good. She mentioned that she would order it again. Service was fantastic. Our server was efficient, very friendly, and extremely helpful, all without being intrusive. The restaurant, which is not very big, is mostly separated into booths which provide a bit of privacy. It was clean and pleasant. Fixins is worth a try when you're visiting Oak Island for vacation. read more

The place was a quaint atmosphere I like it. Tables are a little close together so you're conversations aren't too private, but it's still a nice place. The service is good, waitresses are kind, give fair service. The waffles I had were good and tasty. Though the eggs had no salt, but we made do. It's still overall a good place, not my first option but yeah. read more

We arrived before 9 and had to wait maybe 5-10 minutes sitting on the benches outside. (I was told after 9 it's MUCH more crowded. Our server was delightful and promptly took our order. The made to order customizable Breakfast Bowl was something new to me but I enjoyed it (grits, scrambled eggs, bacon, spinach mushrooms cheese and a couple of potatoes, but you can change any of that up to suit your taste. The hubs had biscuits and gravy that he enjoyed. The gravy hit all the poins: flavor, color, consistency and amount of sausage were all on point but he DID get a side of sausage because ya never know what you're going to get. The portions were plentiful and the staff frequently checked on us and filled drinks as needed. We will definitely come back on our next trip through town. read more

Attended a cooking class this week. Enjoyed the food tremendously but also the community. Highly recommend. We divided into teams and cooked our food. We started with a panzinilla salad, chicken flaunts with cilantro cauliflower rice, chimichurri steak and bread pudding. The bread pudding needed a sauce. Everything else was spot on. Went to lunch yesterday to try their new fried chicken. It was good. Seasonings could use a little change. The Mac n cheese is perfect, and I enjoyed the sidewinder fries. The biscuit texture is just off. If you are a breakfast restaurant you have to fix that. Also, homemade jelly is needed versus the smuckers' packets. Overall, it's not a bad lunch. For dessert, my husband had the banana pudding. He really enjoyed it. I had the 1/2 waffle and berries. It needed a sauce. The waffle smells delicious. read more

Fixins - Breakfast bowl with homemade biscuit- yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oak Island, North Carolina

I had a late breakfast there with friends. Food was great and the service was top notch. We couldn't ask for anything better.

Not sure how we've missed this spot until now. We've lived in the area 3 years and this was our first visit. It's a small spot on Oak Island Dr, kind of catty-corner across from Swains. We were in Oak Island for an appointment and decided to stop in for brunch. Cute decor inside and the staff were super friendly. We were welcomed in and seated immediately. Our server brought coffee and gave us some suggestions and a few minutes to decide. They have a big selection to choose from. I ordered a scramble dish with sausage that you could choose the veggies for - I had it with sweet potato, mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomato, spinach and cheddar. My husband ordered his usual - an omelette that was loaded with meat and cheese and breakfast potatoes. The food came out pretty quickly and the chef actually came out and asked how everything was. I couldn't finish mine, so took a box home for the next day. (It was just as tasty the second day.). I'm sure this place is packed full during tourist season, so if you're local - now's your chance! Come hungry! read more

Our favorite place on the island. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The service is amazing. Comfy seating surrounded by simple, tasteful decor read more

Good prices. Decent food and portions. Unfriendly service. Waitress was grumpy from the get go. No introduction or friendly greeting. Didn't give us silverware, or straws until we asked or got them ourselves. No refills. "What do you want?" Didn't bother bringing us our food or asking if we needed anything. I NEVER tip less than 20% but tips are a reflection of the service provided. ‍ Kids liked the silly eyes hidden in the decor. read more

What a great spot! The food, the staff, the ambiance are all terrific. We went for breakfast and had (lots) bottomless coffee along with chicken egg and honey biscuit and the breakfast burrito (3eggs, cheese and 5 fillings!) with hash brown casserole. The wait staff is very attentive and the chef owner makes the rounds as well. We will definitely be back! read more

I ordered the blue plate special for myself and the grilled chicken sandwich to go for my daughter. Overall the food was good. My plate consisted 2 stuffed peppers, macaroni and cheese, and a small mixed greens salad. I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese and salad. I was not a fan of the stuffed peppers. They were bland and tasteless. In my opinion, more tomato sauce and seasonings would have helped them. Great price $12 for blue plate which included drink or dessert. Service was excellent. read more

Excellent breakfast and lunch place. Busy. Wait in line, and the servers looked ragged. They seemed to have no A/C, kept pulling their shirts to wipe faces. Sanitize hands after?? Egg whites and turkey sausage omelet was lacking in seasoning, but nothing Texas Pete couldn't remedy. Rye toast was perfect. They serve one slice for toast. Casual atmosphere, limited seating. Not a good idea for groups. read more

Food was awesome! Our waitress was even better! She was very sweet and funny! Definitely recommended for all!!!! read more

As soon as we walked in, We were immediately greeted by the host and a server. The host immediately sat our party of 5 in a booth next to the window. Our male server greeted us on his was to drop off a delicious looking berry French toast to the couple near us. He came back to our table to take our drink orders and we were able to order our children's plate at the same time. This was important to us because our children get cranky when they wait too long. Our server was extremely accommodating! In addition, he was welcoming, friendly, informative and polite. Definitely saw the southern hospitality all throughout the entire staff and we absolutely enjoyed it! We were informed that all orders are made to order which is awesome because we knew that it would be fresh! Another server came by to give my husband and I coffee, which tasted great by the way. Our drink orders came out quick and so did our children's meal (they shared). We were surprised to see that our last 3 orders came out Not too long after that! At one point, the chef came out and made his way around to each table to say hello and hoped we were having a great time and enjoying our food, which we absolutely were! The food was absolutely delicious and each plate is enough to fill you up even past lunch time! We truly enjoyed this restaurant and all of its charm. The staff were incredible and so was the food. 5 star rating for sure. read more

The service was great and the ambiance of the restaurant was excellent. When the food was brought to the table, the chicken was way over-cooked and hard. The Chef came out to explain what happened but that experience left us not wanting to do back. read more

Let's start with the restaurant building. It was evidently a house converted to a restaurant. Small rooms tight with benches and tables so that conversations are a shared item with the table next to you. Moving on, the menu is breakfast and lunch. I had a breakfast egg white omelet, with peppers spinach, onion and cheese. Also grits and pork sausage patties. Omelet was ok, the sausage was an extremely thin patty and they were dry. Grits were bland and I suspect instant. The chicken salad wrap was ok but the bacon was not done enough. Plus the wrap comes without chips or fries. All in all a really mediocre experience. On a final note the waiter spent way to much time at the table explaining the menu and what HE liked. read more

Best breakfast in Southport & Oak Island! The quality of everything far exceeds expectations. Excellent bold, hot coffee. I had the pimento cheese omelette which was served hot with the ideal ratio of ham, cheese & green onion. Breakfast potatoes were the real deal, crispy outside with tender hot inside. Dining partner had the blueberry pancakes with bacon. Good quality Bacon was cooked to perfection. The dining area was bright, cheerful and clean. No sticky table or menus! Will certainly return. read more

Ordered a wrap. It was messy but delicious. My friend got gluten free meal. Great service. Super friendly
