Chicken salad sandwich
Julie P.

I would get their chicken salad every day! It's a no frills old school grill, but honestly everything was delicious. It's a walk up counter with tables, and then there's also a gift shop, pier access and a little arcade. The arcade is quaint, perfect for going to after you order food (the claw machines are terrible though - weak grabbers). They serve coke products (yay) and also have beer and wine slushies! This is a good breakfast and lunch spot!

Everything was great except the bugs spray off before you go. Food and staff were awesome.

We love going to OIB pier. Grab a couple of beers and sit on the back patio and listen to the waves. Everyone is so nice and their food is wonderful and very inexpensive. One of our new favorite places to go

We had so much fun! I've been to several beaches in North Carolina, this one was much cleaner and family friendly. Parking was very easy to find and it was not hard to get everything on the beach. People were socially distant. Several food options nearby and friendly folks in the area. One of my tops for sure!

Fishing

Great place to visit, really nice arcade, restaurant, and gift shop. My husband and I come to fish off this pier almost every year. Everyone's always so friendly! They have rod rentals that include you fishing license while on the pier and unlimited tackle.

The service and ambiance were great but the food was not. The food was mostly packaged food and not fresh and lacked texture and taste.

The food in the grill was great! Served fast and hot! It was fun getting to walk from our hotel down the beach to grab a quick breakfast.

Ocean Isle beach is great if you want to get away without a lot of strip malls surrounding you.

This is the cheapest meal we had on vacation. Good bacon, well salted grits, and my kids ate all their pancakes. I can't ask for much more!

I was not expecting that much of pelican's perch bar and Grill, considering the overall rating was…read morea 3 However, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, and I was very disappointed in the service. I had the Shrimp Tacos that were flavorful. The service however was not very good. We sat down and were eventually told it was tiki bar style where we had to go to the tiki bar to get food. Once we were told this, we also asked for an umbrella to shade the sun at our table. When we did we were told that umbrellas weren't supposed to be open because of the wind. At the same exact time we were told this, all the tables umbrellas were up and there were two umbrellas unused behind the bar. It seems that the staff just didn't want to help us.

This review is for the off season menu: I appreciate places…read moreoffering cheaper options during off season, to make it more affordable for the locals and giving the restaurant continued business. However, it would be best to just discount your regular menu slightly, but keep the quality of food the same. We can go anywhere during the tourist on-season and get a truly delicious $15 burger + fries around Ocean Isle (& even cheaper at Beaches). So when we saw the $10 off-season menu burger for Pelicans Perch we assumed the quality would still be good but that it was discounted as a way to keep busy during the off season. But it was reminiscent of a school lunch burger or a fast food burger (but even worse). The chili was ok, and that was why I did give it 2 stars. After that experience, I could not bother to go back to try the regular menu or recommend this place. So their regular menu may be wonderful. But serving an extremely low quality burger for $10 as a type of special for locals was disappointing.

Bottom line: The Isles Restaurant & Tiki Bar (The Tipsy Turtle) is a good place to relax with a…read moredrink and some snacks while on OIB. 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!

It only a wedding venue most of the time. No food or any availability except in the summer.read more
