“Besides the exceptional lobster Mac and cheese and lobster grilled cheese, the service was exceptional starting with the owner. First he started by taking our order at the cash register and then he found the time to wonder the tables checking in on the customers. What really stood out for me though was the owners appreciation of his staff. I heard him on a couple occasions thank the waitresses and tell them they were doing a great job. While obviously I want good food, this is what makes the place special!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Have been wanting to try this place for a little while! It has been closed for the winter season and just opened up recently. I came for an early dinner on Sunday after a beach day. Parking was a little tricky but was able to just watch my car from a paid parking spot while we ordered take out. We were able to walk right up to the take out window and order. The menu was posted outside and had many protein options and lots of options to go on top. I ordered the spicy tuna with lots of veggies, rice and kale base. Everything tasted very fresh! Bowl was pretty filling for $15. Great flavor! I would definitely come back!“

“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“
