I've eaten here more than 7 times now. The salads are huge. The portions are amazing. The food is always hot and delicious. Amber has been our waitress most times and is a gem. I'll be a regular here for sure!!! read more

I've been coming to Jebby's since I was a kid. Back when they first opened I feel like the food was great. It could be that my taste was different back then, but they have gone very downhill. Every time I order steak or a burger they always undercook it. So don't bother asking for it to be cooked another way. Lots of the items are very bland 0000 flavor especially the wings. I think Jebbys has lost its shine. read more

We had been to Jebby's in July and we were welcomed with a party of 11 which included 3 children. We didn't receive as warm a welcome on Sunday 9/6/20 when we requested to bring a party of 13 to this restaurant/bar. 10 Adults and 3 children....My wife was told "No Way" I can't do that by a person assumed to be a manager. Hardly a response any business should give to that much business. Just an FYI, Big Al's on Highway 17 was more than happy to serve us!!! This was Jebby's at Dinner Time. Oh.....we were told that we could wait for 30 minutes with no guarantee that we would be served. Great little place, food is good.......don't expect anything if you have a larger party. We didn't request to be sat together either. read more

Always delicious foods and professional staff even when under pressure! Always a must stop when I travel soup. Check hours!

Love the food here. It's the best casual food in town. The atmosphere is a bit nerve wracking, but the wonderful wait staff and fantastic food make up for it. We always bring out of towers here to eat. Better call first to get operating times and any restrictions that might apply. read more

We have been there 3 times and never disappointed. There seafood is very good and I had a Rueben and it was the best I've ever had. The fried oysters were very fresh and tasty! They are always busy and the waitress are so friendly. read more

I'm just saying, the reviews are the only reason i stopped in. Prices are excellent, service was great, got the fried green beans, a burger, salad and Cajun fried catfish. No complaints. It was pretty quick and an awesome little bar/grill read more

My family and I drove from Figure Eight Island to Jebby's for dinner tonight. We arrived at 7:50 and were rudely told that the restaurant was closed in spite of there being plenty of patrons inside. I called to speak to a manager to inquire further, and the manager was dismissive and told us that they have been trying to get the website taken down for sometime. The website was up to date with Covid updates featuring to go order possibilities but did not state they close at 7:45. She was unapologetic, curt, and we will not be back. Beware- terrible customer service!!! By the way, I worked in the restaurant industry often throughout college and graduate school and have never written a negative review. read more

I had heard that this was the spot, and am so glad we found it! There was something for everyone here. Burgers, Chicken sandwiches with special toppings and fixings, salads, fun sides - some southern favorites and even something for the Vegan in me! We loved the french fries, the breaded green beans, p'bella mushroom burger and burgers. Everything was served with a smile and the whole place just had a nice, relaxing vibe. Definitely a place you can go for a solid lunch! read more

Was hoping this place would be great since it's so close to home. However, both the service and the quality of the food left a lot to be desired while we were there. Might give it another try, but we haven't found the desire to go again yet. read more

Tried to call in order for pickup. Left on hold for 3 minutes while staff laughed in the background. Came back and would not take order without credit card info before pickup. I could understand for delivery but for pickup forget it. Last experience at Jebbys wasnt much better. Wont be going back. read more

Great service, great food, bartender is real cool and will let you bring in your team flag to hang up. Go Duke!

We were in town visiting family and were delighted to find such a great place for take out! Hubby picked it up and said it was a great little place that we need to go back to. We ordered a burger, Cheesesteak and fried green beans as a starter. We loved it all! Their fries with skins on are impossible to resist as were the fried green beans. We will definitely be back! read more

Ate there once and it was ok. Tried two other times and they told us they were closing 2 hours early due to covid.

I can't wait to come back And try more menu items! The service was amazing and I love that it's a straw free restaurant. I had the crab dip and wings and they were outstanding! And the triple chocolate dessert was to die for ! Can't believe I haven't been here sooner! read more

Don't miss this great little find! Worth the short drive from Surf City! My family of five tried a good variety and everything was top notch. Fried catfish, BBQ pork loin, crab cake, a variety of appetizers and then the brownie and peach cobbler. Waitress was awesome. Love this place! read more

Just moved to the area and thought we would swing in and check it out. Very low key, local vibe. Great place to go have a drink and some amazing food. I'll admit the food way surpassed our expectations upon first walking in. Highly recommend! read more

When coming into the restaurant we ask for the high top table in the corner as we have a large family. The server says go ahead, does not get menus or greet us with any respect. Instead rolls his eyes. When he finally comes to the table, I believe his name is "Chris" and he is the owner, we ask for the remote to put on the basketball game (noted it's Duke playing and we are at a NC sports bar) he says he doesn't have time. When he comes back, I say "we understand you don't have the time, may we please get the remote when you get a second" he says "no you can watch the other TV (across the bar, with 2 people's heads in the opposite direction)." and was the most disrespectful server I have ever encountered and was a server myself for 4 years. As one of the few establishments in Hampstead this was an insane experience. It's a shame to have someone running a place with such low-class and hatred for his job. read more

I have eaten here once before and it was good. Diverse menu but it's really small for seating. A lot of people order take out. In the last two days prior to us coming back recently we stopped twice with people just standing in the door way. No one to greet or be told anything. We left both times and went elsewhere. It's more of a bar set up with a few tables. We came on a Sunday evening. It was busy again but we were able to snag two bar seats right by the kitchen. The ladies were not in a good mood working. They were stressed and slamming glasses down right by me. Undermining and yelling at each other. It was pretty unprofessional. The gal that was the meanest was originally our waitress the first time we came and she was so nice and cheerful. This was the polar opposite. You could tell other customers were uncomfortable and notified all the negativity. My husband had the loaded nachos and he liked them. Grand finale....I love fish and chips. I ordered fish and chips. I got through almost my first fish and noticed a worm on the fillet. A pinkish white coiled up worm......Yes a parasite. Needless to say I am done with fish and chips and Jebby's. They comped my meal and our 2 beers but not my husbands meal. I got to dry heave out in the parking lot. Good times. Never again....Fish prep is very important. Our visit was just bad from start to finish. We won't be back and we live very close by. read more

Do not recommend. Service was terrible angry slow waitress. Food almost inedible. Oysters on the half shell almost spoiled; jambalaya cold and didn't taste like much; seafood platter contained too many fries and a minuscule portion of what was supposed to be catfish. Terrible read more

I have eaten at Jebby's many times and have always been a very satisfied customer. The food is freshly made and the service, while a bit slow due to everything being made to order, is always friendly and helpful. But my experience this afternoon was a game changer. I was going to order the BBQ pork sliders but when I found out the slaw had mayo in it (I'm allergic). I asked if I could have the braised cabbage (one of their side dishes) on it instead and was told I could. But then the Nachos (another of the daily specials) caught my eye: at $10, the menu said they were topped with either BBQ pork or chicken and came with all the fixings on the side. Having just returned from a 2-hour yoga class, I had to order this! When the dish arrived, I saw that the "cheese" had a milky appearance and looked a lot like Velveeta, and I do not eat that processed stuff. I called the waitress over and asked about it and she said it was Queso. I told her it was far too creamy and gelatinous to be cheese so she took my dish back to the kitchen. About 10 minutes passed before she came back to me to explain that the topping was Queso cheese mixed with cream. I told her that, given the detailed explanation on the menu, they should have mentioned this odd yet crucial twist to the dish. Meanwhile, my friend was about halfway done with her Pot Roast special (which tasted delicious--she let me have a few forkfuls). When the waitress returned, she told me the manager said I'd have to pay for half of my Nachos. I pointed out that I had not even eaten a crumb of it and she rolled her eyes and said that's what her manager said. Please not that over 15 minutes had passed and I had not been asked what I wanted to order instead. I then asked if I could order some food and told her I'd try the BBQ pork sliders but to please substitute the braised cabbage for the mayonnaisey slaw. I figured this would be a fast dish to prepare so that I wouldn't have to eat alone while my friend waited for me to finish. She came back a few minutes later to tell me the cook would make me the sliders but refused to substitute the slaw. I told her that was fine as I was now ravenous. The sliders came (three of them) and while the meat was plentiful, they were almost sickeningly sweet from the liberal dose of barberque sauce. Nevertheless, I ate them up, even if it meant popping a Tums when I got home. The fact that the manager never came over to me was truly unforgivable, especially considering that she was sitting at the bar for awhile and then in and out of the kitchen. I have eaten at many different dining establishments and have never been told I'd have to pay for something I didn't even touch. What a shame that Jebby's poor management has driven this customer away for good! read more

A sports bar with a twist: the Chef develops gourmet dishes every day on a rotating basis in addition to the traditional sports bar fare. What sports bar has an open face pot roast sandwich with mashed potatoes? Which one has sauteed green beans? How about gourmet shrimp? Jebby's on 17 does! They also have the Jebby's burger, worthy in and of itself, and fries to die for each day. Heck, the breaded shrimp is out of this world. They also do the traditional sports bar fare to perfection. Check out the menu, give them a try when in the area and you will be surprised and never disappointed with Jebby's on 17! read more

Love this place. I've been twice and both times everyone loved everything. So nice to finally find good food after finding nothing but mediocrity in Topsail. The chicken pot pie is chock full of goodness and the peach cobbler is to die for. Loved the fried green tomatoes too. We'll be back, so worth the drive from the island. read more

Great home town place with home town food. Can't go wrong here. Love the healthier options of the mushroom burger. Delish!

"Like kissing baby Jesus"...the thought that hit me as I had my first bite of the very authentic low-country style cooking. After a significant wait for our food, I was ready to give Jebby's three stars...the food changed my mind. My wife and I stopped in on our way home from Wilmington, we hit them right during the Sunday lunch rush, so the long wait we had and the small, noisy, crowded dining room can be forgiven. To start off, the Bloody Mary the bartender made had the right amount of spice to it as well as a good amount of old-bay, which I like. I was very disappointed the Clams Casino was sold out, but that feeling quickly faded when the fried green tomatoes, low-country shrimp rolls, and she crab chowder showed up. The she crab chowder was thick and loaded with crab meat, not runny and watery like some places. The shrimp rolls were amazing and their fried green tomatoes were some of the best I have had. The place has a very coastal Carolina feel to it and having had these dishes in the heart of the low-country in South Carolina, this place gets it right. Great value for the price, some of the best cooking in the area, I definitely recommend Jebby's. Just try to avoid the middle of the lunch rush on Sunday. I know we will be back. read more

Very pleasantly surprised! They are making some really tasty food here. This place is really a sports bar, and only about 50 places to sit, so if you go here for the food, you should avoid game days, especially weekends around 1pm. We showed up at noon on Saturday, and had a great experience. Our waitress recommended the best stuff on the menu, so if in doubt, just ask. We had a burger, Reuben (wife named it the best in Wilmington), hand cut fries, and squash risotto. read more

I was told this place had great hot dogs! I'm always in search of great hot dogs! Well there is not a dog in sight at this joint. However the menu is great! The bar is on point. I ended up trying their she-crab soup. So velvety creamy and loaded with the perfect amount of crab. The crustiest piece of French bread served on the side. So good! Then I followed it up with one of their daily specials. The pulled chicken slider. Soaked in buffalo sauce and served with a slice of dill, a bite of coleslaw and a splash of blue cheese! The chicken wasn't as tender as I expected, the flavors were there all day long! read more

Hello, unfortunately I went in and stood waiting to be seating for about 5 min no one greeted me. Or said a thing....Then two other patrons walk in and get seated right away..... just one more place I won't be patronizing. read more

We ate here on Tuesday for lunch, after reading other Yelp reviews. Wednesday was the 4th of July, so Jebby's was closed, and we had to wait until Thursday to go back. Seriously, it's that good. Everything we had was delicious, from their onion rings, fries, and fried okra to burgers and po boys. More people need to check this restaurant out, though; it was empty both days we went at lunch. Hopefully they're busier at night. There are daily specials for lunch and dinner to keep you interested, and the waitstaff is friendly and attentive. Do yourself a favor and go to Jebby's! So-update... We drove by on a Friday night, and the place was PACKED!! Looks like lunch is the time to go! read more

For some reason, Jebby's reminded me quite a bit of Merlotte's in "True Blood". Maybe it was the fact that we were in the "South" or that the waitresses were dressed in t-shirts and jean shorts. Whatever it was, I definitely got a supernatural vibe. Luckily, however, there were not any encounters with either vampires, werewolves, were-panthers, or fairies! What we did get was friendly service and tasty, reasonably priced food. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small, and was also packed the evening that the fam and I decided to visit. Thus, we were very kindly told that there was a 20 minute wait and that we could wait either outside or inside at the bar. We opted for the more scenic option (outdoors), and thus all grabbed a seat on two smallish (but adequate) white benches outside of the restaurant. After only 10 minutes, the hostess/waitress came outside and informed us that our table was ready. The inside of the restaurant is largely no frills with standard wooden tables, paper napkins and silverware, a decent sized bar, and a very diverse mix of diners. Interestingly, the seating capacity of the restaurant (as listed on the back wall) is 54 people whereas there are no less than 9 flat screen televisions in the joint. Thus, there is at least a 6:1 ratio of peeps to telly here. Not too shabby, and this probably explains why the place gets so packed on game days as mentioned in other reviews. As for food, I opted for the she crab soup as a starter and it was amazing! Fresh, flavorful, and served with a buttered piece of toasted herb bread, it was definitely some of the best soup that I have ever tasted. For my main course, I opted for the fried shrimp po' boy (being a huge po' boy fan), and I was satisfied if not overwhelmed by the dish. The po' boy was definitely much more than merely edible, but it seemingly was lacking somewhat in the spice/flavor department. Given that the collards had just run out, I opted for steamed broccoli as a side which was clearly more for the health conscious tilt than the flavor. Regardless, the broccoli served well as a po' boy side. On a semi-related note, the sides here warrant a shout-out as there is quite a variety including broccoli, collards, spicy grits, spinach, french fries, onion rings, string beans, and many others that I cannot remember. A varied sides selection always equates to points in my book (I'm just saying). With respect to other dishes had/shared in my party, the spicy grits were indeed spicy but in a way that enhanced the dish's flavor, the crab cakes were thought to be stellar all around (three people in the party chose this dish which came with a wonderful side medley of potatoes and veggies), and the dessert options that were indulged in (peach/blueberry cobbler and a brownie with ice cream) left many unbuckling their belts. All in all, Jebby's on 17 is very much worth visiting for some true low-country cuisine and friendly service should you ever be in the Hampstead/Topsail Island area! read more

Jebby's on 17 - Fried shrimp po' boy! - Sports Bars Near Me - Hampstead, North Carolina

Mostly fried food. It's OK at best. It would be nice if they offered more healthy choices. Also very small and loud. We will probably go back only because Hampstead has so few choices. read more

Best local spot in Hampstead! Usually a bit of a wait, but well worth it! Friendly staff, excellent food! Always check out the daily menus also! We are regulars! Love it! read more

Doesn't matter what we order, we always lick the plate clean. Usually we have the angle hair pasta special and the cheese steak sandwich. Tonight we tried the meatloaf and a side of grits for the first time.... Licked the plate clean as usual!!! Dressings are homemade, hard to find these days. Love you Jebbys. read more

Food is good, service is good, atmosphere is fun and nice. Place was bright...at least during thr afternoon when we were there. I understand the other reviews I read about the noise. This place doesn't have high ceilings or anything that should make it unreasonably loud, it's just some loud locals having a good time at the bar. Seem like nice guys just having a good time and not bothering anyone, but ya definitely loud. read more

See all

Very good food and kid friendly. We in for lunch with my wife and toddler. We got the Pepper Jack and Tomato Crab dip, which was very good! My wife got the fish and chips and I got the lunch special, which was a BBQ chicken sandwich. Everything was excellent and the service was friendly and quick. Oh and we found out that they rotate their taps to various craft brews but Guinness is a mainstay read more
