First, I'd like to give a special shoutout to our waitress. She truly made the dining experience…read morememorable. She was funny, a little sassy, and had a great personality that made us feel right at home. Be prepared for a crowd! We visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We had about a 20-minute wait at 5:00 PM, so I can only imagine how packed it gets around 6:00 or 7:00 PM. For dinner, I ordered the flounder platter with Gouda potatoes and sweet plantains. Everything was excellent--5/5. The Gouda potatoes were especially delicious, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without being greasy. My son ordered the crab boil special and cleaned his plate, which says it all. My boyfriend had the fried oyster po' boy, and it was very good as well. Even my little guy ordered the adult portion of fried shrimp and finished every last shrimp and fry. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely come back again!

But we have definitely learned the food can be hit or miss. We love to get the fried shrimp and peel and eat to share. The peel and eat may be great once, but hard to peel and overcooked another. Same with the fried shrimp-- once was perfectly cooked and crispy, the next two times was soggy. The fries are always tough like they've been cooked a while and sat, rather than fresh. We have also tried the island poke bowl & grilled shrimp stick. Those were good! We usually sit at the bar and have had Lilly, who is always very nice! Last night we had Owen, and he took great care of our party of 4! Overall we enjoy going and supporting local when we crawl off the beach late and need a quick bite to eat!

Neither of us cared for it due to the overpowering taste of the fermented crust. Toppings were skimpy, but we couldn't really taste them due to the crust. Service was OK but as other reviews note, seemed very concerned about seating. It was a turn off for us. Beverages are priced by the glass and do not include refills. All in all, Mo's Wood Fired Kitchen was a one-and-done for us. Perhaps the rest of the menu is better than the pizza, but we're willing to take a chance and miss out on it.

The Lowdown: Amazing ocean views, reasonably priced drinks, friendly locals mixed with tourists,…read morefun entertainment, and an all-around great beach bar atmosphere. Our girls' trip to Oak Island continued with a stop at The Lazy Turtle, and it definitely lived up to its name--in the best way possible. Parking is located across the street, and even though the place was packed the night we visited, there was still plenty of parking available. We didn't order any food this time around, but the drinks were reasonably priced, poured well, and exactly what we needed after a day at the beach. One of my favorite parts of the evening was the crowd. It was such a fun mix of locals and visitors, and everyone we met was genuinely friendly. It's one of those places where people actually smile, strike up conversations, and make you feel welcome. The entertainment was... memorable! The DJ was wearing a parrot on his head, so naturally I was expecting nonstop Jimmy Buffett, flip-flops, and full-on island vibes. Instead, he surprised me with a completely different playlist--but honestly, it worked! The crowd was having a great time, and so were we. They also tossed out free T-shirts during one of the games, and somehow I managed to snag one! I may or may not have celebrated like I'd just won the lottery. Between the ocean views, the lively atmosphere, the friendly people, and my unexpected T-shirt victory, The Lazy Turtle ended up being one of our favorite stops on the island. If you're looking for a fun, casual place to grab a drink, enjoy the view, and soak up the Oak Island vibe, this one is definitely worth checking out.

It will take 30-45 minutes for your order to come. There are some easy appatizers to order that will come out fast if you want to order those while you wait." I've never had a restaurant say that before, and it felt rude and dishonest. Dishonest because it took 45 min for the apps to come out alone, apps that were not good, that we would not have ordered if we were going to have our meals in a timely manner, and when they arrived they were wrong. Our meals took another 45 minutes to arrive, some of which was also wrong and we were initially charged for items we did not receive. The server mentioned this happens every weekend?? The food was fine, nothing special. Would skip it if I were you. We will not be coming back in the future. P.s. ambiance was also meh. We were waiting for our food so long the bar vibes kicked in and an overly loud karaoke session started up with a mic providing ear splitting feedback throughout the night.

We decided on Edgewater 122 because we wanted a romantic evening by the water to watch the sunset. My first piece of advice: it's not worth it. Making a reservation or not. While we were waiting, something happened that left a bad impression. Another couple walked up without a reservation, and I overheard the hostess tell them, "Give me five minutes and we can squeeze you in." That was frustrating because we had already been waiting for a long time without being offered the same accommodation. Once we were finally seated, another couple who had a reservation at the same time as us was also seated. However, the couple who had arrived without a reservation received their food and service before we did. Even our waiter Amanda seemed to realize something wasn't right. After overhearing my boyfriend and me discussing the situation, she came over and apologized. While I appreciated the apology, the experience had already left us feeling overlooked. Another waitress also passed over our table before we were helped. To make matters worse, one of the main reasons we came was to enjoy the sunset over the water. Unfortunately, we couldn't even see it because large plastic coverings around the patio blocked the view. That was incredibly disappointing, especially after waiting so long to be seated. From my perspective, the way we were treated felt unfair, and it left me questioning whether we were treated differently because of the color of our skin. I can't say for certain that was the reason, but that's how the experience made us feel. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a romantic evening ended on a disappointing note.

I usually use Lowe's foods to go. I want to give a big shout out to Cathy and Kay, who constantly shop for my orders. Every now and then there will be something missing or something out of date, but it's when a new person is shopping. The inside offers pretty much anything you could ask for in a grocery store. Produce is fresh, deli meat is great, and everything is well stocked. On the other hand bakery items are often at times dry, and every now and then dairy products are expired. Please make sure you take things off the shelves if it is out of date or old. Bathrooms could be a little cleaner and better stocked. Checkout lines move fast, but the self checkout is ridiculous. After you scan an item it'll make you wait for about 10 seconds until it detects you have put that item in the bag, even though you did. Sometimes it will say "Please remove unscanned item from the bagging area" even though you scanned the item. That issue needs to be resolved because it gets on mine and other peoples nerves. Lowe's Foods, there's room for improvement. 3 stars here.
