“This place is really great. We went here the other day and I can’t believe I’ve never been before. The menu is really good - not overcrowded with too many options…it has the right number of options so you can actually pick out what you want.The house chips are great. We definitely will be back and I recommend you check it out too.“

“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!“

“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!“

“It is a very hard place to find. It's a small place squeezed in between a row of shops. Beer was good. Very small inside. Didn't eat while there, so I can not rate that. Parking is very limited since it's right beside beach access.“

Hulas Bar and grill Bar & Grill • $
2107 N New River Dr, Surf City

“Five stars because it hit the spot! Exactly what I was looking for on a Friday evening. Jacqueline of all trades, Kelly took care of me. She was behind the bar, taking my order, getting my food, checking with the cook, making sure I was okay! Awesome job. I was really hoping to find a nice fried platter of seafood not too far off the beaten path from Surf City and Hula's was it! Busy this evening because of March Madness (I guess - maybe it's always this busy). 20 or 30 folks there enjoying one another's company, along with the drinks and food. Don't come expecting anything newly renovated, but it was perfect for what I was looking for on a cool Friday night in March. I'm going tomorrow to try their burger - I hear that's great, as well!“

“Stopped for dinner last min and the atmosphere was great our server was amazing…the food on the other hand was overpriced we thought and I don’t recommend getting the crap cakes as the ones I got had no lump crab and were small and dry. Our server noticed I was not eating them and right away asked If I would like something different which was very nice. I’m here to say I do recommend the shrimp and grits they were delicious with a hint of spiceWe also got the crab shrimp linguine that was good and the fried shrimp was delicious. I wouldn’t recommend the lobster bisque as It was very runny and no pieces of lobster, but the crab dip we got as a appetizer also deliciousBut on all it was a great experience“

“Cool local place with impressive Mexican food! I also enjoy the margaritas. It's nothing much as for ambiance, it's a typical beach bar. You order at the bar and food can take a while but it's worth it. There are pool tables and darts to keep you entertained“

JM's Pub Bar & Grill • $

“This waterfront restaurant has seating inside and outside. The outside seating has a nice view of the water. We appreciated being able to bring our dog to sit quietly at our feet at our table outside. We started with the Bam Bam Shrimp. It was a very large portion of large shrimp in a nice sauce. For our meals we ordered grilled and broiled seafood. The scallops and flouder were large portions and fresh and delicious. The cole slaw and fries were good, too. Server was attentive.“
