Restaurant at the location. I ate breakfast and lunch there. Staff was very lovely and attentive. Sat outside and watched the ocean while eating. Nothing fancy but clean and good cooking.

If the kids are hungry and you don't feel like leaving the beach.... Do it. I got the fish and chips. The chips and the fish tasted the same. My friend tried the fries and said he thought it was all cooked in peanut oil. My friend was not dissatisfied. I was. You can do this at home for $2. The prices don't make sense for what you get. Mine came out to $38 with a 20% tip. I think the kid at the register was not of age to collect a paycheck.

Shrimp plate (fried) with slaw, fries, and hushpuppies

Really down to earth folks with excellent food and service! It is unfussy and tasty with plenty of food on your plate.

Fried scallops and flounder plate

No frills restaurant and it had rained so we didn't get to eat outside. They have the best tasting slaw! Seafood was fresh and the employees were friendly. Would recommend!

Shrimp basket by moonlight

Amazing fried shrimp!! Don't let the old look of the place keep you from entering. Large portions, shrimp platter is enough for two. Tonight I dined on the back porch, having dinner by moonlight. Last visit I watched the sunset behind me leaving a glow on the water. Had the shrimp basket as the platter is just too much. Service is fast too!!

They can do an alright breakfast omelet! It's probably the only place in the town open in the morning, anyway! If you hike there via the beach, be sure to bring a shirt and some sandals.

Quiet little restaurant right on the ocean. It was just my husband and I for breakfast this morning so our meal was brought to us within 5 minutes of sitting down outside. We were both surprised at how thick the bologna slice was for the breakfast sandwich. We only saw the breakfast menu but the prices were great! For $2 a person you can walk down to the end of the pier.

Huge onion rings, corn nuggets, fried clam, and hush puppies!

This restaurant is located upstairs from the tackle/gift shop next to the Seaview Motel. It's not fancy, but it's delicious! You order at the counter and sit at one of their booths. The food is served on paper plates that are piled up high! I had the clam strips with corn nuggets (OMG -delicious!!!), onion rings, and hush puppies. My husband had flounder, fried corn on the cob, and a baked potatoes. We were not disappointed. They have fountain drinks, bottled drinks, and a few canned beer varieties. The chocolate shake I had for dessert was the perfect ending. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Definitely check them out!

BBQ with baked potato and onion rings. Shrimp with onion rings and coleslaw.

Definitely a hole in the wall, but that's what attracted me to this place. So good. Yes, it's greasy food and low-key a blue collar type restaurant. But the best restaurants sometimes are. Workers are super friendly. Food is sooo fresh. All the seafood is crazy good. The bbq in insanely good. Apparently their breakfast is killer and I'll definitely be back for it. This is gonna be a place I visit on my yearly trip here.

So for a fast seafood pier restaurant, this place knocks it out of the park. Fresh seafood and large tasty double hamburgers at very reasonable prices fed our family for a few lunches while grandpa was fishing w the nephews. Kids loved the smothered fries as well as the burgers. We loved the flounder sandwiches and the fried shrimp. And of course some yummy ice cream shakes.

I'm all about eating local when we travel and try to avoid chains that we can eat at while home. So I wanted to try this place out. Sigh. The restaurant is on the second floor over the bait shop so lots of steps to go up to even get there. Once inside, you are barraged with signs everywhere about what you CANT do. You CANT change clothes/bathing suits in the restrooms. You CANT bring in your own cups/containers and fill up at their soda station. (I get this one but do you really need four signs that say this?). You CANT go out on the pier out the back door unless you pay $1.00 at the register. Shower curtains serve as 'doors' in the ladies restroom. Our $3.00 breakfast sandwiches were prepared/cooked just fine and since we were staying only a mile away they hit the spot but I don't think I could recommend this place otherwise.

It's not fine dining, but that's not the point. We rented a beach house for the week just steps away from the pier. With few restaurants nearby, options are limited, but if you go to the sea, you have to eat seafood. The Seaview Pier Restaurant is a tasty respite from a day in the sun. I've read other reviews that were negative, writing about greasy food and the decor, but I found it to be a charming beachfront hut serving fried but tasty fare. My husband tried the clam strips with fried corn (yes, fried corn) and onion rings. He enjoyed everything but the fried corn just got oily and starchy. The hush puppies that came with it were tasty too. I ordered shrimp with fried okra and onion rings. It also came with hush puppies. Everything was perfectly crisp and while it was all fried, I didn't find it to be greasy. The tartar sauce that came with it was sweet, and I prefer more of a dill flavor, but that's minor. They serve beer too, so we each ordered one--a Corona and Budweiser. The staff was super friendly and the view was nice. We ate outside, and while there were a few flies, it was pleasant. If you're on the fence about going, I encourage you to stop by. For $30, we had a nice meal and it was super close to our rental.

Deviled crab plate
Carey M.

We wanted to get a quick and easy meal and found Seaview on Yelp. Your order at the counter and they brought us our food. They have inside and outside eating options. The flounder was really good, and the deviled crab was excellent. Portion sizes are good and my favorite was sitting outside with the ocean view. If you're in Topsail, this is a hidden gem.

Food and atmosphere were good. We had a party of 10. Got seated in around 20 minutes at peak dinner…read morehours. The waitress was supper friendly and helpful explaining everything. I ordered the seared tuna and wasabi mashed potatoes. I would eat them again. They were very good. My dad ordered the shrimp platter and that looked like something I would like to try also. My daughter got a pound of crab legs and a side of waffle fries. She said how good the fries were several times. Someone at the far end of our table ordered a pizza. And they said it was excellent. The place isn't overly expensive but also not cheap. But the food and staff made it a place to consider going back for sure.

My wife and I both ordered the tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes. We enjoyed it, and the…read morepresentation was nice, but it didn't wow us. 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.
