The Pub's bar
Jon Paul W.

My wife favorite local eatery! I had the Apple salad with Salmon & she, the steak with Sweet potato fries. I enjoyed mine, the wife couldn't finish hers so we took it home but not before dessert- lava cake a la mode and she had a brownie a la mode!

Old World Dip

Stopped for lunch on the way to Myrtle beach. Average food. Our server Sam was no top of all our needs. Bbq sandwich and old world dip were good. Gravy for dipping had way too much Rosemary and stole any taste of beef. It comes on the side so use it sparingly.

Ate at Mad Boar Restaurant 6/20/26. Fall off the bone Ribs tough as leather. Reordered tenders and of course overcooked!!

Food was terrible! Fall off the bone Ribs were as tough as leather. Reordered chicken tenders and they were overcooked. The picture is what I left after eating one. Don't waste your money!!

Excellent service and really good food. The Big Chief was outstanding; melt in your mouth pork and a perfect baked potato. The apple pecan salad was wonderful. We had the pretzel bites for an appetizer, and they were perfect! The establishment is really gorgeous, and since it's December, it was decorated for the holiday, and Santa even came by our table to deliver after dinner mints. What a joyous evening. We will definitely return to the Mad Boar.

We stopped near by to charge so my boyfriend and I decided to try a bite for this restaurant. He ordered The Boar Burger and I ordered The Brisket Mac-n-Cheese...spectacular choices from the menu! Boyfriend said, "This burger is bussin bussin. Wow this is one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time!". Nonetheless, the staff members were very polite and attending. The building and the interior have a unique layout, you must see this place yourself!

Salad was fresh and delicious

This place is nice. If you're hosting a lunch or dinner with the fam or coworkers is is a solid spot. Date night, special occasion def visit this place. The appetizers were good, bang bang shrimp is a HIT sauce was more like thousand island then Thai but it works, i mean gooooddddd. The pretzels are a solid choice too, the queso is superb, i could drink it lol. I got a chef salad with chicken and it really was delicious, i just wish they used different salad parts lol there was over half of the salad was the thick hard center part but the ranch is a mush have. The ham on it was cubed not sliced and the cheese was shredded walmart cheese. Son got the BBQ plate and he said its a must have. I WILL be going back. The only reason this is a 3 for me is because the food (delicious) was very basic, like you make it at home, it wasn't anything special looks wise.... the service was bad. I don't know if i just didn't look like the part or i did something that upset our waitress but it was very negative, I could say more but its ok if people have bad days, were all human. This is an absolute must try, I normally wont go back to places with bad service but I, hands down, will be giving this another shot. Ill post a new review when I do!!!

Molly Pitcher's American Grill - This was the cake. Does it look like a box mix Bundt cake?  It definitely tasted like it. Very dry and thin frosting.

It was our first time here today and we loved it! They have a great place here…read more Service was great! Food was delicious! We had a reuban sandwich and the desparado sandwich with a cup of Manhattan clam chowder. It was really really good and the ambiance was very pleasing. Very nice inside with an old time feel and so much history. 5 Stars!

We arrived on a very busy Monday night. There were two people ahead of us that only wanted to sit…read moreat the bar, and the hostess suggested the outside bar area, since there was no room. We were next and got the last table for two. The place was completely full. After reading the menu, the daily special was 1/2 price burgers. They also gave first responders 20% off on Mondays. They have specials every night, so it is worth it to check that out before coming in. We started with a basket of hush puppies and corn muffins with yummy molasses butter. If you get in between 3:30 and 5pm, appetizers are 1/2 price Monday through Friday. I can see why this place is so busy! So I decided on a burger, who can pass up half price day? And we also got the knuckle sandwich, which was 20% off for first responders, so my hubs got that. Off to a good start. Also tried fresh squeezed lemonade, really delicious and fair priced. The burger and the sandwich were huge, we both had to take half to go. You get one side for $1.50, but added sides are $4 each. Still ok since the prices are good. There were charges for the added bacon and cheese on my burger but still at half price, it is a great deal. The restaurant is very rustic, pub atmosphere and very relaxed. The bar was completely full, so that must be the highlight of the restaurant. Looked lively and busy. Service is very good, the servers come back to check on you often. Chloe was very sweet and attentive. The only disappointment was dessert. We chose the cake of the day. It was chocolate Bundt cake with cinnamon frosting. To be completely honest, it tasted like boxed cake mix and canned frosting. It was very small, so I knew it was probably cake mix. There was nothing special about this; it was also pretty dry. Even if they purchased their desserts from a local bakery, it would have been better than what we got. I won't say avoid all their desserts, but I wanted to point out the cake specifically. So overall: The prices were excellent, food and service is really great, and the pub atmosphere was nice and comfortable. The plus was that on a busy night, we didn't wait for a table. They do not do reservations so prepare to wait, or just go earlier. I would definitely come back here, and enjoy some more of the large menu. 5 stars

We've lived in the area for about 6 years. Eat out fairly often. This restaurant by far has been…read morethe most consistent in the quality of the food, which is the best of all the restaurants in the topsail area. It is not fine dining and has the sports bar vibe. It is a relatively small place and I recommend going on non peak hours in season. If you are into oysters, they have a great selection of both local and regional on the half shell. If you prefer cooked, chargrilled or steamed is a good choice. While the menu has a great selection of seafood, the chalkboard specials features extremely fresh local catches which change daily. While there are several restaurants in and around the topsail area this is the only one where I have never been disappointed. If you go at peak hours during the vacation season expect to wait but it is worth it. You can't miss with any of the steamed shellfish offerings and if you prefer fried there batter is light and not overpowering. As a sports bar, they have a large selection of tap and bottled beers and a good mixology of liquor options which is only outdone in my opinion by Rick's in Sneads Ferry

Great place for oysters. You can buy them individually which is great if you eat more than a dozen…read more I normally get 15-18 oysters when I go. They are delicious and the service is top notch. It' is a little hot in there, so dress cool. I go weekly to this restaurant and highly recommend.

He had a great recommendation of the Malbec (Zuccardi) wine, which we were given a huge glass of. Would go back just for that wine. Best bite of the night was truly the Rockefeller Oysters, which come with a fresh biscuit but Kyle made sure I had the saltines I really love with them. Those were *eyes roll back in your head* REALLY good, especially for the quality of the cheese. Second best was the Blue crab pasta, which used local crab, but I think average flavor overall. Great portion and loved the capers but, didn't get the depth I expected from shallot and white wine sauce. I wouldn't get the salmon gyros again, even as creative that combo sounds the salmon was overwhelmingly not fresh and there wasn't enough tzatziki to cover it up. We loved the toasted naan and fries. Kyle told us the staff loves to get the salmon gyro but with fried chicken instead, I may try that next time. Overall a fabulously efficient and positive vibe from every staff member I interacted with, could certainly come back and eat another dozen oysters.

I think the poppy and sesame seeds threw off the flavor a bit. My wife says the tuna steak at Ribeyes in Swansboro is better, and I'm staying out of that argument. The crab dip was also good, though it didn't change our lives. Our server was great, and the food came out so quickly I barely had time to pretend I was still reading the menu. We'd heard about the view, but the swimming pool takes up most of it. You can see the ocean in the distance if you know where to look. For the view, we'd pick Mac Daddy's. Overall: 4/5. Good food and great service. We might come back once more to see if the tuna and the view make a stronger second impression.

We made the mistake of going to the wrong tower and were made to feel like we were committing a horrible sin by asking for directions. We came here about 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon. It was quite understandably empty....just us three and Dawn the bartender. Everything was pirate themed (shocking! lol)...the drink names, the menu items, they even had Pirates of the Caribbean playing on the TVs. (This is the entire reason I wanted to come here so I was tickled by all of this!) I had the One Eyed Willy (they were out of whipped cream!) and the coconut key lime martini. Both were pretty sweet but the menu included the ingredients so I knew what I was getting into. My friend really like her Calypso's Revenge and my husband drank beer. (They were all canned, nothing on draft.) I really wanted to try some of the funnier name drinks like the filthy pirate pecker wrecker but even though we were day drinking, I didn't think I was ready for that, HA! My friend and I got the grouper bites which were good but not worth the $18 we paid for them. There were maybe 6 small pieces of fish and the rest were heavy hushpuppies. The pirate sauce was a good though. Overall this was a fun bar and Dawn was an excellent and entertaining bartender!
