The sauce they give you with it is necessary because otherwise it doesn't have much flavor to it. The pulled pork nachos were ok- just felt like a bunch of lettuce thrown on top of some chips with the meat- which was also flavorless. The metal chairs are also incredibly uncomfortable to sit in. They were so low and hurt the bum! The kids meal grilled cheese and fries were not good. The fries had a burnt flavor. The island chicken sandwich was the only thing that brought some joy. The service was great. Very nice people and loved the environment with the lights. Wouldn't go back or recommend.

We did have one issue with a clam that had some black material inside, which affected the flavor of part of the steamer. I called the restaurant afterward, and Nick, the manager, was extremely kind, professional, and helpful. He apologized sincerely and made the situation right. I do not believe anyone there knowingly served something off -- it seemed like an unfortunate one-off issue, and the way they handled it said a lot about their customer service. Because of how respectful and sincere Nick was, I would definitely give Topsail Steamer another try.

When I arrived to pick up our order it was not ready and I should have suspected something was wrong when they panicked and went in the back. I waited for them to defrost the shrimp to complete the order but was not told and was totally unaware it was not cleaned. Do you want to eat poop for dinner? Gross.
