I enjoyed their drinks so much I actually went back twice in the week I was on Oak Island. The line was at the door one of those times, but moved at a good pace. They have breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and bowls to go along with your coffee. I did enjoy the turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel the most. Both of my drinks were so good...the perfect balance of sweet alongside strong coffee taste. Grab breakfast to go and then enjoy it while sitting on the pier.

We found an empty public parking space with a cone in front of it, but a woman wearing a tracksuit and green T-shirt told us we couldn't park there. When we explained that we hoped to run inside for about ten minutes, she told us she was giving everyone tickets and that we would get one, too. We couldn't tell whom she represented or what authority she had. We called Ruby's for guidance--during its advertised business hours--and nobody answered. No coffee, no snack, no assistance. Just a frustrating encounter before we could even reach the door. Ruby's, do you have dedicated customer parking? Where should customers go when the lot is full? And who is outside threatening prospective customers with tickets? You may not control the parking enforcement, but you can help visitors understand how to reach your business. We never made it inside, so I can't judge the coffee or food. I can judge the experience of trying to spend money there: aggravating enough that we gave up. We left Oak Island and took our business to Wrightsville Beach. Getting a cup of coffee shouldn't require this much effort.

This plate deserves some attention…read more I ordered the sesame-crusted ahi tuna at one of my favorite haunts, Tipsy Tuna in Oak Island, and this one did not disappoint. The tuna was seared exactly the way I want it: hot on the outside, beautifully rare in the middle, tender and full of flavor. That sesame crust added just the right amount of texture without overpowering the tuna. The seaweed salad, wasabi and soy rounded everything out perfectly. And let's talk about that tuna for a second... that color tells the story. This is the kind of dish where you take the first bite and immediately think, "Yep... I'd order that again." For a casual beach-town spot, Tipsy Tuna put together a damn good ahi tuna dish. The Island has some good eats, and this one's swimming near the top.

It was a $17 plate of bagged lettuce sprinkled with dried cranberries, a few cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese and a sweet bottled dressing on the side. Maybe some kind of nuts too- but nothing special. Certainly not a $17 salad. My husband got the seafood "platter". It was okay... again, nothing special. It had oysters, flounder and shrimp. All of it was heavily breaded and all tasted the same. My son's chicken tenders were dry and overcooked. They do give you bread while you are waiting for your food. The bread and butter/garlic spread was wonderful. Our server was prompt and attentive. He did seem like he was "in the weeds" and very busy. We sat at the bar while waiting on our table. The bartender man was the highlight of the entire experience. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He made my son a mocktail drink. It was the perfect treat for the hot summer evening.

They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.
