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

Their Hummingbird Sauce, a version of tartar sauce with capers instead of relish was delicious. However, the real show stopper was the Key Lime Pie!!

The food was primarily fried so it was fast service and the drinks were great! We'd recommend bopping over the bridge if you are visiting Topsail.

Sweetie got crab dip and though it tasted good she wasn't thrilled with the texture (too finely minced?) But that was the only misstep. Shared spinach artichoke dip with my cousin, both liked it. Also shared an order of fried fish- again liked it. Good, tender fish, with a thin crispy batter nicely seasoned. Another cousin got a bowl of fisherman's chowder, as did I, and we both really liked it. Chock full of seafood. Her husband got a Philly cheesesteak and said it was excellent. Kid K got tenders and fries, all good. Plus a side Caesar salad which she liked (and I finished, again good.) And we got some cheese sticks, also good reviews all around. Service was great. Prices were decent. Mixed drinks and beers were good. It's handy- and open in the off season. With limited options, it's nice to find good ones. I'd come back.

They offered me a lunch and dinner menu, but engendered some disappointment when they explained that numerous items were not available. I wasn't seeking paneer, but that's what I ended up with. It was a well-prepared dish evincing fruity and herbal notes. Ordering a bread with cheese in addition was probably not a great decision on my part and left me overly stuffed, but the onions in it added a mouthwatering aroma. I expect some supply issues with this restaurant being near the beach and relatively isolated. I hope that if I find my way back here, they are able to offer more options.

You can taste the love in every bite. The red snapper moilee was buttery and perfectly cooked, the rogan josh lamb was fall-apart tender, and the mashed eggplant was unique and delicious. The naan basket was a must, and the mixed grill gave us a taste of everything -- all incredible. Heads up: food takes a little longer because it's made fresh to order, but that's part of the magic. It's absolutely worth the wait. The owner told us Saturdays get packed, so go on a quieter day if you're looking for a more relaxed vibe (or order takeout -- I bet it travels well). If there were an award for best Indian comfort food, this place would win it. Authentic, soul warming and unforgettable- we can't wait to go back!

It was clean, loud, good loud filled with conversation and laughter. Unfortunately, my pasta was extremely overcooked. It was so soft that I couldn't even pick it up with a fork without it falling apart. The photo shown shows just how shredded the pasta was when I picked it up. The sauce itself was delicious, which made it even more disappointing because the pasta was basically mush. I brought it to their attention, and they apologized, but then told me the kitchen was closed. I believe they stop serving at 9:00 p.m., and it was only 9:03 p.m. when I mentioned the issue. Whether the kitchen was technically closed or not, fixing the dish would have only required boiling a small portion of pasta and adding some of the sauce that I assumed was already prepared. I mean it was literally 3mins past 9pm there's no way they cleaned the kitchen and packed up that quick. There were still multiple tables here. Instead, I was told there was nothing they could do, though they would remove the item from the bill. While I appreciate not being charged, I don't think that was the most appropriate solution because it essentially meant I didn't get to eat a main course. My husband still had his meal, so at that point it didn't seem worth leaving or trying to find food elsewhere after already spending around $70 on dinner (the pasta not included). If it had been much later in the evening, or I wanted to add something to my bill, I would have understood, but being only a few minutes past closing made the response feel disappointing. The flavors were excellent, and up until that point the experience had been very good. I really wanted that pasta too haha. The sauce was so good. I hope they handle situations like this differently in the future.

For appetizers we got the crab dip and the calamari. I loved the calamari, the crab dip was good but we definitely needed just a few more chips. They bring out bread which is nice as well. For my main I got the salmon, it was delicious! I did the Tuscan garlic butter on top which I really liked. My sides of vegetables and a baked potato were good as well. Our server was so sweet, we loved her. Unfortunately we're giving a 4/5 because we asked the hostess if she could move us to an open table out of the direct sunlight and she states she would check and be right back. Well, we never saw her again. The table was open for a while before another party was sat so I assume she just didn't want to move us. Overall, we still had a great dinner and would come back again to try other food options as we enjoyed what we got. Definitely try this place out!

Oh my gosh!!!! What a disappointment . My bad though for…read moreexpecting this east coast establishment to actually have locally sourced seafood. We came here on a recommendation and for the raving reviews. I think my clue should have been when I saw more pictures of the awesome views from the deck vs the food. Don't get me wrong, if you want a cool hang out spot with awesome views and attentive waiters, this is your place. We ordered the crab dip and calamari to start. First, the dip was nothing more than glorified cream cheese with no specified flavors and no crab that we could discern. The calamari, flavorless with only the tart sauce to make it palatable. I chose not to order any of their specialty fish dishes after the waiter stated that none were local and all farmed fish . My husband ordered the lobster and shrimp pasta and I thought we would share. Again, another sad flavorless dish. The sauce was not spicy as indicated on the menu but rather a poor excuse for marinara. The shrimp, rubbery and I can't speak for the lobster because it was quite small and my husband ate it before I could try it. He did comment it was flavorless. We also ordered a couple of their virgin drinks which we found unbalanced in their flavor layering. Over all, this meal was not worth the 100 we spent to include the tip. To add insult to injury, it wasn't the unavoidable rain that fell on the deck that made this experience indigestible but the amount of times the wait staff kept coming over to our table and the one next to us asking if everything was perfect. We were polite, tipped, and said everything was good but on the inside, our stomachs were churching with this would be meal. Again, I put the onus on me for not checking beforehand and assuming that because many of these towns were fishing towns, there would be local catch dishes. My apologies beforehand to the owners of this establishment. Clearly for them something's being done right if they have their repeat clientele. Kudos. I will say that the place did have a wait line as stated and it was lively and full when we left. The menu; sadly needs revamping or better chefs.
