Restaurants near North Topsail Beach

“We had dinner last night, March 30th, 2024. We were told the table wait was over an hour+ so we sat at the bar and ordered the Tuna nachos for an app. They were amazing!. Our name got called and we were seated in like 40 mins or so which was perfect! Our waitress introduced herself, and even wrote her name down in crayon at the table as Lovey! She was awesome! Ask for her if you get a chance! We then ordered the soup, Bang bang shrimp tacos, and the chicken sandwich. We ordered way too much food! Bottom line, the staff, the food and even the extra dessert they included, because it was my birthday and I signed up on their VIP site, was just great! Second time eating here, and this time was better than the first! Highly recommend if you need a great NTB place to eat at!”

“Incredibly courteous and polite staff! Plenty food selctions to choose from. location is super convenient. Kudos to all the staff(s). We will definitely return again and again and again! There is plenty of spacious parking. I would still give more than 5 stars if possible.”

“Absolutely DELICIOUS!The brioche buns were fresh and toasted on the sliced sides which helped hold my BBQ pulled pork meat in!The fries were crispy with a gentle seasoning that just went with everything.The smoked gouda bites are served with ranch and the flavors just come together in a warm gooey crispy nugget.Apparently their pizza is amazing because everyone else coming in was grabbing those!?Definitely worth a visit!”

“Had dinner March 2nd with my wife. Views are amazing and our waitress was very nice and did her job well. Please call ahead as they have a very limited menu for the off-season. My wife enjoyed her salad with grilled chicken and my burger was very good. Had they not had the salad we would have had to get up and leave since the menu had nothing else available for my wife to pick from.”

“This place is God sent!! Everything about this place proclaims the love of God. The food is amazing and authentic, but above all the people are beautiful!!! ”

“This is our new go to spot on the island! Polite staff and excellent handmade ice cream. Great Friday night outing ?Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level without a curb.”

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Busy morning was appropriately staffed to provide quick, friendly and efficient service. Very clean, great beach feel, and a convenient location. Outdoor and indoor seating. They have a great selection of fun merchandise and local books as a bonus. We will definitely be back!”

“Love this place ! As a coffee shop buisness owner I love to try new places when I travel . My first time here and it was beautiful, most amazing staff and my coffee was amazing . New favorite coffee shop in surf city .”

“We are on vacation and this was a dinner we had on our must try list. We ordered online and it was ready when we arrived. The staff member was very kind and informative, letting us know each step to get this good stuff steamed up. They also provide printed instructions. I’m not sure which bucket we ordered, but it had shrimp, clams, crab, potatoes, sausage, kielbasa, onions, and scallops. It was more than we could finish at one sitting, but we look forward to finishing off the leftover shrimp and potatoes! I love that we get to keep the bucket and we plan on ordering for home delivery in a couple of months. It was so good! And fun!”

“Although this is a self-promoted "Steelers" entity (#GoRavens), the food has always been great. It has a large menu with variable prices and food choices for all diners. Favorite menu items are the scallops dinner and ice cream pie hands down. The reuben, dirty bird, ribs, and steaks are also great, but the crab dip and crab cakes were not up to par with the rest of the menu in my opinion.Kid-friendliness: Can be loud at times for kids but they provide coloring pages and crayons to keep little ones occupied while waiting for food.”

“This was our first time here and it won’t be our last! Everything we had was phenomenal...flounder, clams, scallops, oysters, fried zucchini…and the hush puppies were amazing!! We took a piece of coconut pie to go and it was delicious! Morgan was the best too!”

“I really liked the place. Something for everyone. It was crazy busy at 2 PM, so I'm not the only one! Stop by and see for yourself. Short walk to the beach.”

“One of my favorite things about being at the beach…is my surf city coffee on the weekends! Staff and coffee are always great, love that they support local artists and always fun to look at the artwork while getting coffee. Definitely the Best coffee shop on the island/area! The staff always makes sure the coffee is how you like it, and if you are not a coffee connoisseur like my hubby, they will help you find what you would enjoy.”

“A quaint little place with a real hometown welcome feeling. Everyone seemed to leave with a smile, and I soon joined them. The biscuits n gravy were hot n delicious, the bacon crispy, and the service friendly. Can't ask for much more.”

“On vacation. Just wanted some beer for the beach and found this gem. Amazing selection and the owner is super knowledgeable and awesome! If you love craft beer you’ll be like a kid in a candy shop.”

“Breakfast and lunch- wonderful!!! And reasonably priced. Our family stops on our way out of Toosail Beqch every time and my favorite is the iced tiramisu latte- half sweet. Delish!”

“I truly love coming her for a quick lunch any time I am doing errands around town. The people are always nice, the service is fast, and the food is very good. If all you want is a simple but delicious lunch, look no further.”

“Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday. They have a nice little parking lot with free parking. The inside is quaint and cute. A decent amount of seating! The menu has lots of different sushi rolls and some other entrees. We ordered an appetizer of Rangoons that were very crispy! We then ordered two specialty rolls! They were pretty yummy. The food came out very quickly and the workers were all very nice. Prices were average ~$16 for each specialty roll. Overall a nice meal!”

“From Surf City, to a U-Haul and almost 1000 miles to Missouri. This beer is a must try. Will be sad not to get anymore of their IPA’s for a while. But 10/10 recommend Surf City Sunrise”

“Walked in, immediate first impression was that it’s clean, organized and welcoming. The two people working both greeted me even though they were clearly busy. The order went quickly, payment easy and staff was friendly and talkative throughout the process. Hubs got regular coffee, I had the blueberry crumble-which was amazing. IMO prices were the same as Dunkin; but I had to drive a third the distance and had a wonderful experience that I feel would be more consistent. We’ll be making it a daily trip, definitely worth trying.”

“We have been coming to Topsoil for years and this is the one of two reliably good places to eat on the island, in my opinion. We've never been disappointed and always leave full.Ironically, never had their oysters, but their shrimp is delicious and we always, *always*, get the fries for the app.Dietary restrictions: Great with allergens to ensure no cross contamination on the menu. We've never requested modifications, though.Parking: Parking can be difficult during on season, but never any problems off season. Be careful where you park, because some spaces are reserved for specific businesses.”

“I love Unwined! I make it a point to visit every time I'm in the area. Great place to chill with a glass (or bottle) of wine while listening to live music on the large deck. If you're not in the mood for wine, they have beer, coffee, ice cream and other delicious items. Highly recommended!”

“We just moved here and my husband and I were looking for a bar near our house. The venue was awesome. Live music,...Sublime covers..so good though! Food truck was awesome and crowd was. 30s 40s. Drinks discounted for ems and fire fighters. But affordable even without the discount. People were friendly and welcoming. Come here.... seriously. It was fun!”

“Cool Country rustic atmosphere like general store. Pork snack excellent. Potato salad is really good like a deli with a hint of dill. Really good food and surprisingly inexpensive for the area. Good parking lots of room inside. Very friendly servers. Tea is good moderately sweet not sugar overload tastes fresh. Good portions of food. Good grade 97.5 at this time. Food hot very quick friendly service.Parking: Shopping center parking on two sides plenty of space during rush hour traffic.”

“Fantastic local bagel shop. I've been here a few times and it's always a great experience. The bagels are fresh and so is the cream cheese.The options of bagels is pretty good! They also have a kids menu for those families that need a change in morning breakfasts.”

“Long overdo review! It has always been a pleasure coming here. Their service is wonderful and of course the great coffee! Ordering ahead is also a plus when I am on a rush and there’s never been a delay.”

“Amazingly sweet family who cares deeply about the land, sea, and product. We ordered 3 dozen and she threw in 6 extra! Great way to support a local business and the environment!”

“Popped into the shop after I saw yummy healthy plants crossing my window while breakfasting at NY Deli and said to myself “I have to go there. These plants are amazing “ , so there I go. Found old books - which I love and collect, a plethora of plants, antique items, baked goods and an amazing selection of coffee! Bought some old fun books, Jordan Almonds - yum - a Pecan pie for the Easter holiday, which, sadly for my waistline, was the best pie I’ve ever had. The most fun eclectic, for me, purchase was potted lettuce, 4 varieties, that was so full and beautiful! Best part - as this potted lettuce is indoors, it won’t go to seed or bolt for the entire summer season. I have sandwich and salad fixings for the entire summer season and am never paying $7.99 for a lettuce bin for the entire Summer. Thank you! Best visit to a shop ever!! ❤️”

“This bar is cute…the music ? they play in the evenings sounds good. We enjoyed it every night as we stayed in the Vacasa rental right next to the bar! The drinks we got today were delish…We got the “TIT” and my daughter got a “trailer trash”….they were both tasty!”

“you might say it's just a sandwich shop, but it's a great sandwich shop! We've never had bad service or bad food here. and they have more than sandwiches: they have Lavazza Coffees, tea, and ice cream. plus, breakfast all day if you want it. Seating inside and outside.”
