This place never disappoints if you're looking for a good juicy burger the onion rings are frozen, but delicious. The breading on them is so thin and nice not like those crumbly ones the bologna sandwich my husband loved. We will return again!!

I had my first of many visits this weekend to the Ocean Isle Beach Pier for breakfast. Until this…read morepast weekend, I had no idea what I was missing out on! We enjoyed breakfast twice over our visit to the coast and both times, it was so good! Firstly, it seems like one of those places where the locals all go and hope that the tourists don't find out about it. The sweetest ladies work there and we spent a lot of the time chatting with them too. The first morning I ordered a veggie omelet with hash browns and toast. The omelet was huge and full of veggies and cheese. It was cooked perfectly and it was delicious. The next morning, I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and it was amazingly good! I love chewy bacon and it was cooked just the way I love it! The prices are some of the best on the Island for breakfast and the food is cooked quickly and done right. It is a perfect gem!

It was a rainy day so we chose an indoor table. The menu offers about a dozen appetizers, a dozen handhelds, ten salads and ten entrees. I opted for the fried fish sandwich with sweet potato fries.

My fellow diners had the big mac salad, the chicken wings, the blackened fish sandwich with hush puppies, and a mermaid water drink. We all enjoyed our meals. Service was fairly quick. The music was good.

I've visited Amelia's every trip for 6 years and have always had great service and wonderful food…read more Sad to say yesterday was the exception. We got there not long after opening and my partner ordered shrimp & grits. The grits were cold! Like not even room temperature. The server brought them back to the kitchen and they were returned very quickly in a very hot bowl that had obviously been microwave, shrimp and all. Fearing there was no way to remedy that dish he ordered something completely different. Their eggs Benedict. This was brought out with a side of potatoes that had obviously met the same fate as the shrimp. Microwaved to the point of a rubbery unpalatable mess. The eggs, were not fully cooked! The whites were nothing short of runny. That being said, we gave 3 stars because of service. Our server was kind and extremely apologetic for the kitchen's failings. Promised to let management know when they came in. I truly hope this was an anomaly and not where things have gone.

The rooftop was full but we were able to get an indoor table after a twenty minute wait. The menu offers about ten appetizers, ten handhelds and ten entrees. One of our guests had the shrimp and grits, a delicious generous portion. I had the low country boil, which included a delicious generous portion of shrimp, clams, sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. Another one of us had the crab cake stack with rice and asparagus. Our fourth diner had the Mahi shipwreck. It was also a generous portion of Mahi, shrimp and broccoli. The frozen dreamsicle and Pina colada drinks also looked and tasted great. Service was fairly quick considering how busy the restaurant was. The views were also spectacular.

While past visits had more of a 3 star quality, the recent visit this time came across great showing that they have definitely upped their game this season. I am a fan! The Deets: In recent years past, I have stopped by the tiki bar at the The Isles resort near the west end of Ocean Isle Beach to enjoy a drink or two and some snacks to enjoy passing the time. It is right on the beach and also overlooking the resort club pool (pool for members only) so it was a pretty cool place to hang out with plenty of parking to boot. I would have to say for drinks and food (mostly bar food fare in the past), it struck me as a 3 star type of experience...pretty A-OK. However, in going there to the tiki bar this most recent trip to OIB, I noticed now the tiki bar itself has now a name/identity of The Tipsy Turtle, cute...I also found that they have definitely upped their game now since prior visits. Grabbing a seat, I notice both the food and drink menus, and like what I see...I placed pics of both on here for reference. Grabbing one of their frozen margaritas and a basket of their fried shrimp with seasoned fries, my friends and I were set on having a nice snack and drink break for the Saturday afternoon. The fried shrimp were good, definitely not just thrown together or just fried up with no prep, I thought they were pretty tasty...and this from someone that is not that wild about seafood in the first place. The fries were heavily seasoned, I could have done with a notch or two less of that but they were a good snack as well. The frozen margarita was spot on. But what stood out this time the most was the 5+ stars service during this visit...our server Jake went above and beyond to not only make sure we had what we needed, checked on us to make sure we were OK frequently, but was all around a great part of the experience in his positive and happy demeanor along with superior "can-do" service attitude. If you head out to the The Isles tiki bar/The Tipsy Turtle this summer, be sure to sit in Jake's section if you can...he's great! With the past visits more along a 3 star experience then having the 5 star service experience this trip, I can go with a 4 star overall final score for this tiki bar. I am looking forward to more visits!
