    Green apple reminded me of a cajon sirloin.
    Toni M.

    Sunset Slush never fails to give me the best brain freezes that an outlandish human being like myself could ask for. The watermelon Italian ice really kicks you in the face with flavor, leaving my empty soul hungry for more of its signature ice flavored watermelon. The service slaps every time -- convincing me that I'm Tobey Maguire revisiting Santa Monica after saving the day as Bully Maguire. However, I'll need an accountant to sort out of financial life after the card reader turned my credit card into syrup.

    Such delicious and refreshing slush. I ordered the mango and coconut slush gelati with vanilla ice cream and it was incredible. The woman who worked here was super sweet and let me and my family try whatever flavors we wanted, and you could tell she truly put care into each of our orders. Also, the desserts were very well priced, not expensive whatsoever! ** We actually went to the Calabash location, but I don't see that one on yelp so I hope this is sufficient.

    Before we went to see the fireworks we stopped by. They were super fast. I got a blueberry Italian Ice. It was so delicious. I definitely recommend. Very tasty

    Stopped here for an afternoon treat...not only did we enjoy the best slushes ever but we witnessed the kindest thing!! The two young girls working spotted two waste management workers (trash guys) laboring in the rain...they rain out (one barefoot) to give them free slushes... ITS RARE YOU SEE YOUTH WHO ARE KIND AND CARING!!! The coolest thing?! My 3 girls witnessed it! What an example!! It felt so refreshing that kindness is still being given out! Way to go SS...you've hired some good hearted young ladies! See you soon!

    Delicious and refreshing, Sunset Slush hit the spot as the perfect treat for a hot summer afternoon! The staff are so nice and helpful, suggesting their favorite flavor combinations and offering sample tastes. There are so many different flavors, all tasty and refreshing! We ended up trying Key Lime, eggnog, and strawberry lemonade (not all together). All were delicious!

    Sunset Slush is about as good as it gets for an ice cold and flavorful treat down at the beach. They have a cart that goes up and down the beach at OIB which is awesome, as well as the main store on Beach Drive...and now I'm told they have a stand opened up at the OIB fishing pier, excellent! There is a cornucopia of different flavors of Italian ice to choose from, and some are combos of favorite flavors (see pic). I have to say I am partial to the lemon, then the tangerine, but I like many many more. Mango is a big favorite with my crew when we are down at the beach. They offer different sizes, and if you get the largest "coozie" for $7, you get it refilled for only $3 each time you bring it back. And once you taste this treat, you'll be back, especially if you are beating the heat out on the beach and see that cart go by! For great tasting flavors and low guilt type of chilly treats for beating the heat at OIB, nobody beats Sunset Slush that I've experienced.

    Yum!!! Can't go wrong with this local spot! You have plenty of choices and can add on soft serve ice cream with Italian ice! The flavor choices knock it out of the park.

    Such a cute little place. The outside decor was bright and inviting with bubbles floating around. I ordered the islander Italian ice which had a mixture of flavors and it was to To die for. Perfect for a hot day.

    Sunset Slush is awesome. They have Italian Ice in many different flavors. On my first visit, they recommended lemon lime and mango. Wow, it was great. A cool and refreshing treat.

    Bad Italian Ice. Tastes like rotten sugar. Not the way it's supposed to taste. I would never try it again.

    The employees were looking at me weirdly while I was getting my order. I hate how people look at me…read morelike that!! It's this new generation that's very rude and mean. The service was okay, not the best. They were also being racist because I'm a bit brown, so I was a little confused, and they charged me extra for no reason. I think it's because it was the spoon, but it didn't make sense!! never coming back. I also found a fly. A FLY in my frozen yogurt, and when I was putting my frozen yogurt in my cup, I swear it was a bit brown for vanilla, and once I was done, I saw a roach. Also, the atmosphere was very moist; it did smell a bit funny, and when I put some hand sanitizer on it, it smelled horrible. TERRIBLE. It smelled like a dead animal!!

    Traveling from out of town and decided to swing by for some ice cream…read more They have the Hershey's glass cased ice cream which looked great but unfortunately did not get. We went for the frozen yogurt machines where they had a few good flavors. If you are familiar with Sweet Frog, the concept very similar. 2/5 star rating because the toppings were not fresh tasting or quality like. Oreos were not actual oreos but alternative like Oreo branded cookie. Brownie was super hard and dry and eating into it crumbled immediately. I got hot fudge and the pump seemed to encounter some issues as the worker said she just filled it but after 10 pumps of air, I received maybe 1 pump worth. I gave up on the hot fudge. The environment itself was great. Very kid friendly, colorful, and had a lot of heart to it. It was roomy and looks like the host birthday parties there as well. Again, unsure if I came on a bad day but it was not enjoyable and wish I had saved money and got the Hershey's scooped ice cream instead.

    Bottom line: In visiting the newest location of Sunset Slush on Ocean Isle Beach, I say still good…read morestuff! My original review at their first location still stands, and the icy treats are still as good as ever. Friendly and quick service as well. The Deets: On this recent trip to OIB, I found that Sunset Slush at yet another new location on the island area of OIB, this time on Causeway Drive on the way into the main part of the island (replacing the one they had at the OIB Fishing Pier, apparently). And as I have said before in other location reviews, it still is a good frozen treat no matter which location you choose. Still liking my mainstay flavors of lemon, lemon-lime, and tangerine Italian ice as well as the Sonic flavored slush/Italian ice (lemon-lime and cherry together), I love them just as much as when I had my first one here many years ago. You can still get the small, medium, or "coozie" sizes as like all other locations and the cart that goes up/down on the beach sand itself. It definitely remains a "gotta have" when at OIB. This location appears to be shared with a dessert shop as well called Sandcastles Sweets and Treats that has ice cream and other sweet delights but I have only sampled my favorite Italian ice/slush treats here. Service each time on this trip has been friendly and quick to fill each order. Still two thumbs up for this chilly treat!

    So many delicious options to choose from! Sunset Slush serves a variety of fun Italian ice flavors…read moreas well as ice cream and a small assortment of candy , including salt water taffy. The staff is super friendly--one of the kids in our party has some food allergies and they were very accommodating. Ample parking and reasonably priced. Check them out!
