    Sad to leave Holden beach after a full week of it, we came here to semi-lift our spirits up This place is really cool. An ice cream shop that doubles as an outdoor mini golf course! They allow you to sample ice cream, which is always nice to try before you buy We immediately glued our eyes to pirates treasure, which is a combination M&M's and Oreo ice cream. Both of us got a scoop each in a homemade waffle cone, but it's really 2 scoops haha! Bottom line: play putt putt, then grab dessert afterwards! My only gripe is that it's Maola ice cream with homemade waffle cones, with the price of one scoop costing $4.25, whereas I can grab homemade ice cream for the same price with as much ice cream. I'm a snob about ice cream and I can't help it! But pirates treasure was great!

    Lots of places to sit and enjoy the delicious ice cream!

    This is the cutest little ice cream place with delicious ice cream. Everyone working was super nice and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    The employees are super friendly and efficient. They use local farmer owned North Carolina Maola ice cream - try the pirates booty with has oreo and M&Ms, so good! Waffle cones are homemade. They have mini golf too. What you're really here for is the show though - Putters the adorable squirrel. When I heard that the squirrel gets its own ice cream cone, I figured she would grab it and run back up the tree. This squirrel goes right up to the man, takes the cone, and eats it just like a person - right in the middle of the crowd. For you environmentalists - it's a special mixture including honey and almond milk - with a bit of vanilla. The cutest thing on earth - sure to put a smile on anyone! Currently, feedings happen twice a day at 1:30 and 4:30. Please be a good sport: don't try to feed the animal yourself, and give it room to breathe!

    We played putt putt first and honestly even this the course is old it's well maintained, you can tell they've spent the money to keep it nice and honestly it was very fun.

    Great food good people nice atmosphere the restrooms are super clean and price is good. I really…read moreenjoyed every

    Bottom line: I liked my first visit to The Cove Restaurant near Holden Beach. Their Fish & Chips…read morewas satisfying and just what I needed that night. Service was good as well. This farm-to-table restaurant supporting local farmers and fishermen is worth a try if in the area with a little something for everyone on their menu. The Deets: A friend of mine drove down from Wilmington while I was vacationing in Holden Beach recently and we decided to get dinner to catch up. Looking at options on the trusty Yelp app, we decided upon trying The Cove Restaurant for dining. It is located just a bit out from Holden Beach, along Hwy 130 going towards Shallotte. It has pretty good parking that was almost full when we arrived. When we went in to place our name on the waiting list, we were told it would be about 30 minutes wait (we were actually seated around 15-20 minutes) and so we used the table and chairs outside the door to relax and talk. When seated at a booth inside, we perused their menu and they have plenty of different selections (not just limited to seafood). The cover of the menu describes The Cove as a restaurant "...featuring all natural ingredients supporting local farmers and fishermen." This farm-to-table format is good to know going in and I'm glad they share that on the menu. We were given bread service to start with (loved the bread!) and my friend got their Homemade Crab Soup to start with, and he liked it a lot. I went for Fish & Chips for my dinner entree while my friend opted for their Chicken Marsala for his meal. I was satisfied with my meal, the beer battered deep fried cod fish tasted great here. I sampled my friend's Chicken Marsala and it was good but was hoping for more flavor to come through on the Marsala sauce. Service was acceptable from the host desk to our server, all went well. I enjoyed the first visit to The Cove Restaurant and would like to revisit them on future trips to the area.
