8 Best Seafood Restaurants near Sneads Ferry

“This is the best food and service by far. There is plenty of parking. They have a ramp for accessibility. Lots of covered seating outside to enjoy the view while waiting. There is always a welcoming environment (thank you so much for that). The food is always so amazing. The views are breath taking. The service is quick and on point. We come a couple times a year from Pennsylvania and it is a MUST to come. There is a man that is always jumping in and helping out where he can (I have never been able to catch a name for him but he is always busting his rear. The servers (even though we have a party of 9+ including a few kiddos) is always accommodating and nice(not always the case everywhere). They have the BEST crab dip around (it sells out quick). The ribeye and fried shrimp are to DIE for. And getting the fried squash is a must. My husband always changes it up when we go but is NEVER disappointed. The friends we drag always love it and when they come back it’s always the place they ask to go to eat at. My kids even love going there watching the boats on the river, the food never goes to waste either. The food is worth every penny. I almost forgot to mention the hush puppies (how dare I) they are so good and come to the table piping hot and they are by far the best hush puppies. This place is amazing and a huge part of our memories at the beach. It was our first restaurant coming to topsail and it was unforgettable then. Our kids, family and friends always love it here and ask to come back. Thank you to all the staff we have had through out the years and we look forward to seeing you all in the late spring.“

“We love Ricks… we’ve never had a bad time here. The drinks are good, the food is great…. The service is even better. I’ve probably eaten at Ricks every week since I’ve lived in Sneads Ferry. My most recent favorite is the Mac Burger with a side caesar salad and a sweet tea… definitely come here with your family, it’s worth your while.“
