Every year we spread our business during vacation among the local businesses, in order to support as many as possible. This year we found a resounding vibe from some local small businesses. Instead of giving attention to that part, I would like to applaud Shagger Jacks for their customer service, excellent food, & great vibe on an establishment. Smiling employees means you all are doing things right. We appreciate your hospitality. PS. Kristen is a great representation of your brand. You can tell customer service is her jam. Thank you for making our experience extraordinary. Sincerely, Vacationers Who Love Oak Island Too read more

Had an awesome time here with my wife and kids. First visit to Oak Island and this restaurant. Had about a 45 min wait - but for a Saturday night not bad. Sat outside - loved that they had a bar outside! And we got to let all the doggos. Wait staff super nice and attentive. Great selection. Everyone enjoyed their food - especially my wife who got the Seafood pasta. Told me she is looking forward to going back to Oak Island JUST for this dish! Would highly recommend! read more

The first time we went to. Shagger Jacks it was awful. Everything was drenched in salt. After a long break we decided to give it another try and have been pleasantly surprised . Either they got a new cook or we just were there on a bad night . Regardless of the food. we have always had excellent service and love the easy laid back vibe of this restaurant. read more

Chicken tenders, flounder, and shrimp were great. Service was great. Ambience was beach - high table wobbled, a lot. Probably best with margaritas! Opening issues mentioned previously was misunderstanding and due to frustration and hunger. Not there fault. read more

Amazing restaurant with a fabulous atmosphere!! Hubby snd I took a long weekend and went to Oak Island, NC. Great little town with a fabulous little area for tourists with restaurants like Shagger Jacks....but wait...this is where the "locals" hang out!! Well....let's check it out!! With Covid most restaurants are at 50% capacity, so we had a bit of a wait for dinner. While waiting to be seated for dinner you can enjoy a cocktail in the outdoor bar area which was amazing decor in a tiki bar area looks like they also had an area for live music. Hubby got drinks snd we settled in got a pleasant short wait for our time to eat!! Yay!! It's our turn, perfect table outside with a great breeze to enjoy with our drinks. Our waitress was amazing and filled our 2nd drink order. She was fabulous about giving us her favorites for dinner and made other suggestions for appetizers/dessert. We first had the fire cracker shrimp!! Wow!! It's a fire cracker alright spicy and perfectly seasoned shrimp appetizer!! Dinner was absolutely amazing! Hubby had a shrimp and grits entree and I decided on the most amazing sea scallops!! Wonderful experience and the dessert was to die for...the pics don't do this restaurant justice!! Fabulous service snd food!!! See you very soon!! read more

Had lunch today while sitting at the bar. The outside tables were filled (Covid distance) and we would have had to wait at least 45 minutes. This is a very casual bar/restaurant that seems to be quite popular. Paula was our waitress/bartender. I told her it was our first time here and she was helpful answering my questions about the menu. Good menu choices. I had the Caprese Flat Bread that had a pesto sauce, slices of tomatoes, mozzarella, and drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Good flavors but the bottom of the flat bread needed to be cooked more for a crispy crust; plus the toppings weren't very hot, more like room temperature. I would have asked them to place the flat bread in the oven, but with Covid, I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed. I brought my leftovers and will heat it up in the oven for dinner. I also had a side of vegetables, which every very good. DH had the BBQ bacon cheddar burger with fries and said the burger was very good. We chatted with the owner for a few minutes. Paula told us they close for one month (January), so we'll return in a couple of months. read more

We got there around 345, on a Saturday over Memorial Day weekend. We were seated immediately outside, large picnic table close to the bar (doesn't open until 430). We ordered the Jacks Chicken Dip and it was delicious. Definitely would get again. Tortilla chips with a Cajun seasoning and buffalo dip. I ordered the crab cake dinner - it was meh. Gouda potatoes were like half the plate, some were still raw. The crab cake was decent but it seemed like it was mostly breading, came with a salsa on top. The grilled vegetables were fresh and well seasoned and a 5/5. My husband's burger was good, but the fries were cold. Shrimp was large and tasty, although a bit skimpy for 11 dollars. The three stars is coming from our server. She seemed to ignore us, only filled drinks once, didn't come back to see how stuff was, and we were going to get desert but she took nearly twenty minutes after we were finished eating to come back over (and we had to flag down another server to even get her attention). The staff seemed young, like they'd rather be anywhere else, and it showed. We would return for food, but probably won't because of the service. read more

This was our second visit to Shagger Jacks. Their parking lot is always crowded. They do require masks. We ordered the fried green tomatoe appetizer. Lots of things going on was my husband's take. I thought the tomatoes worked well with the funkiness of the goat cheese and tang from the balsamic. My husband ordered the soft shell crab po boy. He let me have a bite. Certainly reminded me of New Orleans. Very seafood tasting, but the remoulade worked well with the lettuce, ripe tomato and the crab. I ordered the patty melt. I could only eat 1/2 the bread. Folks, they seasoned their meat. It was so flavorful! And they didn't skimp on cheese. It was a great sandwich. They have several beers on tap, a full bar with some interesting sounding mixed drinks. And a friendly bar. They do have inside and outside dining. read more

The blackened grouper was fresh and well seasoned. I also ordered the side of island rice and black beans which had a very good flavor.

Great food served quickly & efficiently! Oyster platter was fresh & tasty. Atmosphere was lively- also a great place for families. read more

Really a 3.5. I'll start off with the good: the wait staff was great. Very prompt with everything; the food was very good. We got the chicken dip appetizer, it was excellent. I had the Louisiana flatbread, it was very tasty, my wife's shrimp and grits were very good and the boys really liked their po' boys. I would give the food and the staff 5 stars. What keeps me from giving five stars over all was one big thing: we went early because there are five of us and it's hard to get a table, we waited about 30 minutes, no big deal on the wait but they seated us at a long picnic table BETWEEN two other parties that were already seated and eating. We were so close to them that a fella from one of the other parties reached over and took a drink menu out of my hands as I read it. I don't mind sharing a table but I felt wedged in until the party on the end left and we were able to spread out some. read more

The food was just mediocre . Typical bar food . Nothing stood out! Service was very good

Local favorite! We've been coming here for a decade. Ownership and chef have changed more than once. Always great beers. Attentive service. Current menu is awesome. Most recent change was from St Louis style pork ribs to Flintstone Beef Ribs. The Shrimp Stick is now blackened. Both improve over last version. Mrs B had a great spinach salad! read more

Stopped by for lunch based on a friend's recommendation. Great vibe with Christmas music and cool lighting. I got the homemade chili and a shrimp quesadilla. The chili had big chunks of beef and was good. Not over spicy and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. My waitress was friendly and attentive,especially with my sweet tea. Good experience. read more

My grilled sandwich and onion rings fairly greasy. 13 unlucky number, transition ended... read more
