Food is great. Prepackaged seafood in ready to cook aluminum steam bucket. Seasoning "Jimmys" is best ever tasted. Recipe provided seems to have been tested. Comes out great. read more

We really enjoyed our experience with Topsail Steamer. Everything is prepared and provided (pots to steam, butter, cooking instructions, seasoning, cocktail sauce, and paper for the table) which makes cooking and cleanup super easy. The inside was very clean and the workers nice. We will be back again! read more

It's good. We went in with points, excited to use them. They no longer recognize their own point system. So, great... Got a steamer pot. It was wickedly expensive but good. read more

We did the steamer and I couldn't recommend it enough. It was a ton of fun, well seasoned and plenty of food for us all. They were very helpful in helping explain the instructions. For Sure do if you're in the area! read more

10/10 on easy of ordering, the decor, the cleanliness of the business, us picking up our order, receiving AMAZING instructions from the staff on how to prepare it, as well as the final results! I'll be visiting this place every year when we come to Topsail Beach!!! Highly recommend this place!!!! I thought living in Seattle gave me the BEST seafood, but Topsail Steamer flipped the script on me, and I am ONE BELIEVER!!!!! read more

We got a steamer for five people and added sausage to it because we had a little more than five people. When we arrived to pick up our steamer everything was laid out and organized. Very efficient, quick pick up. We had everything we needed for the steamer, including the paper for our table and instructions. The food was very fresh. The crab legs cracked perfectly. It was an easy cleanup process. I would recommend this to anybody considering. We also ordered at 9 AM that morning for a pick up at 5 o'clock and that was no issue. read more

Such an innovative idea to prepare seafood in a steamer bucket for people to prepare at the beach with their families! Our seafood was fresh, well seasoned with fairly generous portion sizes. There's sausages potatoes and corn too to spice things up. Very worth it for the price. Their service is spectacular too. Honestly one of the best parts of the beach was preparing the seafood steamer bucket with friends and eating together! Will definitely come back for another bucket next time I'm at the beach! read more

Stick with a nearby location. We have ordered every time we are in Topsail, NC. This time for Father's Day we tried delivery to Richmond, VA. Couple things. Goldbelly does not allow you to add extra corn and potatoes like the local Steamer website does. Regardless the amount of potatoes we got was a joke. And I'm wondering if even the amount of sausage and shrimp we received are for 4-6 people. This wasn't our experience last year where 4 men had a tough time getting through all the food. This time it looks like 4 children could get through it easily. I will not be ordering delivery again and when we visit in August I will see if the amount of food is the same as last year when ordering locally. read more

Great set up for a dinner at home. Great package and set up. So smart. Will do this again if we come back.

This review is for the location and staff not the food. I stopped in mistakenly thinking I could enjoy a delicious boil for lunch- oops- this place only sells the boil for you to cook at home. I love love love the idea and the food looked amazingly fresh, well laid out, and delicious. The staff was very sweet and friendly. He wished me a good day as I hungrily headed back into the world in search of a boil to fill my hungry belly with. If I lived closer I would absolutely get my boil needs here. read more

The best of both worlds. You get authentic seafood that you can order online and then bring back to your house. You can order online, schedule your pick up time and the amount of food you get is insane! read more

Topsail Steamer - Our Topsail Steamer Pot. - Seafood Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

I heard about this "experience" and I decided to drive 45 minutes there. You arrive to see that there is no seating as it is not a place to cook or eat your food. It is basically a seafood market that caters to sell you a disposable steamer style cooking kit. The staff is very nice and informative about what they are selling. Except for the marketing of the steamer kits. This is an expensive seafood market. If the price of the seafood was the same as my local seafood market prices then maybe it could be worth the extra cost for the kit. Every part is higher priced even if I were to buy only the seafood without the kit, the seafood is marked up. You will pay three times the cost of crab legs, clams, and shrimp from Sam's or Costco. If you get your ingredients from a local fishing boat like I do from my neighbor the cost is even less for the fresh jumbo shrimp. I experimented and found that I can cook twice as much seafood by weight for half the cost, and no hour and a half round trip drive, than at this place. This is defiantly catering to talentless tourists that have more money than sense and also don't know better. read more

Always great taste very filling and Customer Service is outstanding. Topsail Steamer is great for low country boil

It was our anniversary we were camping but we wanted lobster. We planned to get some lobster rolls but discovered we could get lobster tails in a steam pot from Topsail Steamer. We ordered a custom pot on their website and requested a pickup time. We got emails during each phase of the process, picked our pot up on time despite a crowd in the store. I didn't realize the steaming process was up to us but they gave us everything we needed (pot, paper, spices and condiments) to have a perfect meal right on our campsite!! If you are staying at the beach on or near Topsail Island, NC or anywhere you find them check out their options. They ship anywhere as well!! read more

This place is amazing!! The ordering process is so smooth and they have it ready for you as soon as you get there and make sure you understand the instructions on how to cook. The ladies in there were also very sweet and helpful! The actual cooking part was also great as well. Turned out just how they said it would and it was the best boil we have ever had and it feels more accomplishing when you get to do it yourself. Highly recommend!! read more

Topsail Steamer - This is a portion for two and we also added a lobster tail. - Seafood Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Was at the Raise the Bar 10th anniversary party. the shrimp were excellent and the smoked sausage also was very good . the owners were very friendly and made sure you had enough to eat. highly recommend them. read more

Food was amazing as always. Had the steamer for 2 people but it was more than enough for 3 people.

The seafood is truly excellent and definitely worth trying if you're in Topsail. Plus, they offer delivery!

This place has the most heavenly food. When I come to Surf City I look forward to the Topsail Steamer. The corn, potatoes, and shrimp is what I eat. It is also so easy to make with the instructions they give. 10/10 recommend. read more

Without a doubt the most genius thing since sliced bread - delicious too! A little aggravated and hangry for lunch my family went to Topsail Steamer hoping to get out of the heat and sit for a nice lunch. We were disappointed when we walked in and saw that this was only a take out place however, we started reading the menu and became intrigued. Staff immediately greeted us, coming from behind the counter to offer help and answer questions. After a minute or two of reading the menu we quickly left to find food and as we were eating at another restaurant we read up on Topsail Steamer and based on what we read and the reviews decided to try it for dinner. As we were sitting we went online and placed our order. Placing the order online was beyond simple. There is an array of sizes, combinations, customizations to make this your own but not overwhelmingly so. In short, you select the size of the pot, protein selections, seasoning blends and time for pick up. Then simply show up, grab your pot and go. The pots are a one time use, although we cleaned ours and saved if for another time, and come with detailed instructions on how to cook the food. Everything is neatly packaged and separated based on cooking times. They make is super easy. When we picked our pot up the staff walked through the cooking process and explained everything in detail. They even provide a roll of brown butcher style paper for your table to dump the pot of food onto. It took about 45 minutes and we had a low country boil with plenty of clams, shrimp, scallops, sausage, corn and potatoes that tasted wonderful. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I would hands down do this again and again. PS the jalapeno cornbread in the photograph was bought at Topsail Steamers but was actually made by another local company. read more

Topsail Steamer - Bowl of goodness - Seafood Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Try this place while on vacation and glad we did. I know it's a take home and cook yourself place but it was pretty simple to cook. The food was fresh and tasty. Have a tin can of the souvenir. read more

It was our friend's birthday and he really wanted to try this place.... I guess people love the convenience of this....or have never made their own steamer pot before...it just seems to be a little bit of a rip off to me. Don't get me wrong, the process from ordering to pickup to cooking was very simple and easy! The food was fresh and definitely quality. However, if you have a pot of your own and there are several seafood markets on the island, I believe you could make this yourself a LOT cheaper just as easily! Long story short, our friend was happy with his birthday dinner and I was happy that I didn't have to pay for it. read more

Drove by this place on our first night at our accommodations and were intrigued enough to come back the following day to try one of the meal buckets. For our group of four we got the smallest low country shrimp bucket that included shrimp, red potatoes, corn and andouille sausage. When you pick up your bucket the food is uncooked so we took it back to our house, added water and were set to eat about 45 minutes later. The seasoning we opted for was called Jimmy's Mix and was a mixture of Old Bay and a Spicy Cajun rub. Flavors were really nice and nothing was too spicy. read more

Ordered the Miss Emily II via Goldbelly for Mothers Day and it was absolutely amazing! Such a great find! The seafood was fresh and excellent and all of it was very well-packed. The crab legs stood out as very good and full of meat. We loved the kielbasa (add-on) and the andouille was ok, not what we are used to and was lacking real andouille flavor but all that is trivial. I highly recommend this fun, event friendly bucket! I want to do it every weekend at the actual beach! Run to Goldbelly app now and try Topsail! read more

We tried this after having paid a lot for a crab boil at a restaurant down the road. For around the same price, you get reasonable portions and the experience was better! It was fun and we could eat at our own pace. Very friendly staff to explain the process and answer questions. Add-on scallops were wonderful! The jalapeño cheddar corn bread and key lime pie was delicious---a big hit! I highly recommend trying Topsail Steamer! read more

Really awesome small business that has great fresh fish options. They provide the steamer to cook in, seasonings, butter, paper for the table, instructions and a magnet. We place our order online so pickup was smooth and fast. You can also make your bucket inside the store and choose from pre selected or make your own style. We added additional crab legs and shrimp. Would get again! read more

A 10 out of 10. Did the full Steamers and everything was delicious and delivered on time. So easy to prepare and clean up. Only suggestion is to not put the top on too tightly ( which was in the instructions) just set it on top to cover. read more

We are so glad that we gave them a try. You chose your seafood, they put some sausages, corn and potatoes in a pot with separate bags of seafood on the side, plus seasoning and you steam them at home. Just amazing! Customer service was good too, a gentleman there explained the entire process for us, knowing that they give a full instruction brochure. It was a great experience read more

I only went in for a key lime pie and was not disappointed. The pie was filled to the top and was one of the better key lime pies that I've had. I usually don't care for the graham cracker crust but this one was rich and fresh, not soggy like some. I would go back for another one if I'm ever in the area again. read more
