Place is small and tables a bit crowded. We were sat at a high top by the kitchen and the bar checkout and exit door. Needless to say a busy area which left our dinner for two a dinner for 16-18 people who leaned on our table, bumped the table, interjected into our conversation less than desirable. The food was the saving grace. Outside tables are probably a better as there appeared to be more room. Seating hostess was also a bit of a drill sergeant read more

I came to Fibber McGees last year for the first time while on vacation. We were so impressed we went back a day later. The baja fish tacos and shrimp tacos are sensational. Highly recommended. Such a great environment. I will definitely be coming back here many times next trip. read more

Pretty much have had everything on the menu and it's all been great. Fun to sit outside when weather cooperates. Service is always very good. read more

Great atmosphere! There is nothing bad here. Came back for Run Sunset Beach 1/2 Marathon a year after 1st visit. So good, we came 2 nights in a row...lots of apps, drinks, and entrees...EVERYTHING is great here! Must try Seared Scallops, Rueben spring rolls, and Old School Rueben Panini, chocolate cake, spicy Bloody Mary.... read more

How does a restaurant not have a high chair? We didn't find out until we had been waiting for over 20 mins getting ready to be seated that you don't have a seat for our 18month old. So much for being welcoming for families. read more

Fantastic service. This is a local meeting spot and is typically busy because of the decent food and outstanding service. It feels like home when you eat here. The servers are beyond pleasant and attentive. The food is good and can accommodate gluten-free needs. All four of us enjoyed our meals and will return. See you there! read more

At another restaurant he recently owned, owner of Fibber McGees Richard Dobkin charged prices OVER the menu prices on meals, and when "caught" would not rectify the problem nor address us or our guests on the problem when asked to. He decided instead to "hide" in the kitchen, and not come out. After contacting the Better Business Bureau etc., he finally in writing offered a full refund, but NONE was ever forthcoming or ever received. Buyer beware, with bad business practices. So ... watch your back. read more

Food was very good, but they charge you extra for fries or onion rings if you want them with your sandwich. They could also use some more indoor seating. The outdoor area was awesome, and the salmon BLT that I got was amazing. Definitely would return there. read more

Adorable outdoor seating. Great menu with healthy choices too. Very good food. The only negative was the long wait for the waitress to take our food order. We sat outside. It appeared as though she was the only waitress, not a good plan when it's gorgeous out & the patio is filled except one table. Otherwise we really liked it. I ordered a lunch special of tuna salad in a half cantaloupe; very tasty and fill of flavor. Great presentation on all of our lunch selections too! A must go. They are open until 10pm (the kitchen) and the bar is open until midnight. Very unusual for this area. Great spot. read more

Ordered the ahi tuna appetizer and the fish and chips dinner. Everything was delicious! Big piece of fish. Batter on it was great! Very yummy steak cut fries! Would definitely come back again read more

Bad experience with seating. Refused to let 5 of us sit at a table for 6 so we had to crowd around a table for 4. We are locals and support this restaurant year round AND it is out of season. The table for 6 was never used! read more

We love this place for lunch; great food and outdoor seating with lots of flowers- and fans! However, 5 of us went to lunch today there and were crammed at a square table for 4 while there was a table for 6 available. We were told we could not sit there; no exceptions. We are local, year-round residents - not tourists - and usually go about once a month. The table for 6 went unoccupied the entire time we were there. Locals keep this place going in the winter- not visitors. read more

Stopped here for lunch while driving around the area. I had the chicken Caesar salad that was very good and my partner had the buffalo chicken wrap that he enjoyed very much. Dined outside with lots of pretty flowers and and plants around us. Very friendly service. Would eat here again. read more

So . I went straight to Fibbers FB page to comment on my experience and was promptly accused of being an a**hole by what I assume are employees including the owner who signed himself " Head Dick" That's how I end up on yelp . Tight quarters in this place which resulted in us being seated near the bathroom . Did I say NEAR the bathroom ? On the bathroom might be more accurate . We asked for another table which was empty and within sight , the waitress who appeared pretty pissed off because she had to train another girl looked down on us and said NO ! that was it . Just No . We would have just moved ourselves except there was a giant mound of food and napkins under the table that was never cleaned up while we were there . That was all I needed . Fecal dusted shrimp burger was not on my agenda for that day . Never got to the food and don't plan on ever going back . Theres to many good places to eat in Ocean Isle . read more

Not an authentic Irish pub by any means, but reliably good food and usually very good and friendly service.

Terrible service. We waited for 45 min for a table. They told us there was a table leaving inside and we would be seated in about two minutes. We continued sittings for another 10 min. When we went in to ask about the table we were told that there was no one leaving for us to get a table. As we continued to wait we saw them seat a large group inside. When we decided to leave the owner accused me of stealing the beers that I had just paid for at the bar. I guess they really wanted to live up to the name "fibber mcgee". read more

Fibber McGee's is a great little place in the Sunset Beach area. I was reluctant to go due to the small size and outdoor seating... I do not like to sweat and eat... But they have huge fans and umbrellas that keep you cool. The inside is small but quaint. The outside eating area is surprisingly roomy. They have a cornhole game set up for a fun atmosphere. The food was fantastic! I ordered the cheese steak-cooked to perfection I did not need to add mayo or ketchup... My husband got the Ruben it is very good. The only problem we had which cause them to have 4 stars... FLIES!! Yikes! I know it's not really their fault! But they were like dogs! When the food came they swarmed!! Our waitress brought a fly swatter to combat them! Once we ate they left, it was crazy! But all in all it was a nice place for lunch... read more

Fibber McGees is a great local pub in Sunset Beach. I've eaten here numerous times, and it's a perfect place to grab dinner and a beer while watching the game. There are several HD TVs in the dining room, a nice bar with high stools, and a patio. The owner frequently rotates his taps, and offers some great, ice-cold craft beers on tap. The menu includes sandwiches, wraps, seafood and pub favorites like Shepherd's Pie. The food is usually quite good, especially the wraps and pub food. The bartenders and waitresses are attentive and friendly, as are the local regulars. If you're using a credit card note that they require a $15 minimum. And don't worry, they have plenty of bottled beer if you want to stick with light beer favorites. read more

Nice quiet spot with outdoor seating as well as in. The night we went they had live entertainment which was nice. Bartender was a bit lacking or maybe my communication skills were. Great wait staff and chill type place. read more

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Service was awesome and definitely a great Irish Pub. So great that we returned there the next night! read more

Food was good. Beer was cold. Note that there's a $15 minimum credit card charge, I didn't know that until the tabs came around.

As a local of 15yrs to the area, hands down one of our best kept secrets! Just today---called ahead with orders because we only had an hour for lunch. Took a co-worker for her birthday. We showed up and the staff met us outside with hot food in hand ready to eat outside under the beautiful patio umbrellas. Drinks in 2mins and we had a wonderful non rushed meal. BTW, one of the best spinach quiches I've ever eaten and it came with a garden salad! Best service and food around. Kudos! and thanks as usual for the service and food. We love ya! read more

Hands down some of the best food in the area!!! Shrimp burger, pan seared scallops, salads you can't go wrong!!! The bartender John is awesome and fun. One of my favorite spots!!! read more

My grandmother, aunt and I came here with my pit mix after reading that they were pet friendly and were greeted with my dog's own water bowl and plenty of pets from the wait staff outside (super nice considering not everyone likes certain breeds)! Everyone came by to give him treats and make sure Broly was hydrated and comfortable while serving us awesome food! The shrimp crab dip was AMAZING and all of our food was excellent! Whenever I come down to visit family again I will 100% be back. read more

Went to this establishment this evening for supper. Short story; food was good but we were taken back about a few things. We were told we could not drink the water we came with. After working through that we we ordered the grouper which was great. Only thing they charged a five dollar charge for an extra plate to share a meal. We also asked for tartar sauce which was an extra 50 cents. Not a great experience! read more

My husband and I shared their scallop dinner special. It was out of this world. Scallops were seared to perfection. They charged a $5 charge to share a plate but it was well worth it with each had a choice of soup or salad and the dinner came with rice and steamed vegs and a bread stick So there was plenty for us to eat. We will definitely go back again! read more

I'm not sure I would call this place an "Irish" bar...more like a bar with the average American bar food. However, the service was great and the food was decent. read more

So disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite places. There must have been a change in management or ownership (waitress confirmed). I took some family here for lunch, and it took 11 minutes for a waitress to come to our table. We ordered 2 coffees, and they used a Keurig but used 1 K cup for both coffees. One of the coffees looked like tea, but the waitress didn't see anything wrong with it. Also, they don't give you straws unless you make a $5 "donation". Then we ordered and you can only get slaw with sandwiches. They don't allow you to sub fries even with an up charge. You have to pay $4 for a side of fries. We were told by the waitress the chicken salad wrap had no onions, but we got it and it had onions. The waitress said they premixed it and there was nothing she could do about it (why didn't you tell us when we asked at ordering). She messed up our check and said she fixed it in the computer but still charged us the original amount. They didn't discount the replacement meal that came 20 minutes after everyone else's meal that replaced the misinformed chicken salad. The worst part of the meal was when the manager/owner was shining a light in a liquor bottle showing the bartender there were possible bugs in the liquor bottle. I was so embarrassed I had brought people here and so bummed this place has gone down hill. read more

Hot summer day... Cool drinks and good food ... Fibber's is the place to be. Try the Reuben it's delicious... Truthfully, everything is good here. You can't go wrong. The people are friendly and the vibe is positive. Don't expect anything fancy and you won't be disappointed. read more

My favorite place for a Grouper sandwich either fried or grilled - never disappointed! Add cole slaw and a draft brew for a relaxing lunch. Service is consistently good. read more

My family and I stopped in for lunch and everything was delicious! The fried pickles are a must try. The hostess and waitress were both polite, and the manager even stopped at our table to ask how it was. I've returned several times for to go/ pick up orders and it's been ready on time and easy. I can't wait to check it out at night sans kiddos with the pretty outdoor lights! read more

Fibber McGee's is first a bar but they have expanded their food menu and have quite a lot of options now. They do not have any local beers but they do have a full bar and some craft beers. As others have stated the place is small but they have added several outdoor tables. We went about 6:30pm on a Friday and were lucky to get an open table inside. After we were seated we saw many parties come in and have to wait 15-20 for a table. The bar was full the entire time. We started with the crab & shrimp dip. It was very good but came with a too small portion of tortilla chips. We asked if we could get a few more and the server said it would be a charge so we declined. I had the grouper sandwich for my meal. It was good but had a fishy flavor so I don't know if it was fresh. All the sandwiches are served with slaw, which was good, but I would like to be able to choose a side. My husband had the crabcake sandwich which was not very good. Our friend had fish and chips which he liked just fine. Again there aren't a lot of places to eat in Sunset Beach so this place is pretty good considering. read more

We really enjoyed our blackened mahi and pan-fried grouper but paying $13.95 for a 5 (small) scallop appetizer was a little steep in my opinion. We will come back though. read more

Had the Maryland crab cake sandwich, and it was amazing! The fish and chips is really good as well. Also had the fish tacos blackened and the mango salsa really pairs well. Fantastic place! read more

Not even remotely close to being an authentic irish pub!! If you go expecting Irish food/beer - you'll be majorly disappointed (like I was). Otherwise it's a nice place. But I felt deceived by their name and advertisements making them out to be an Irish establishment. I won't return to this place. read more

Unfortunate for us, we arrived just in time for late the nite menu, so the pickings were slim. We asked to be seated outdoors (indoors will be found small and very much a bar (not for kids)). The live music was nice & one reason for coming here. However, this Irish Pub had a musician playing radio tunes. He was good, but definitely not what one expects from live music at an Irish Restaurant. Our food was good yet pricy. Our server did a fine job. Based only experience, when at the beach, I'll stick to seafood....unless the group chooses Fibbers again. read more

Wife and I went here right after Christmas, was warm enough to sit outside. I got the French dip which came on a croissant with a side of potato salad. Wife got bacon salmon sandwich and crab soup. Food was excellent and great service! read more

Warning they do NOT show football even though it is classified as a sports bar! Came Sunday for some drinks and to catch the game but the bartender refused to put it on tv. Even though it was on one smaller tvs. We also had to sit at the bar because 2 people are not allowed to sit at a 4 top they are reserved only for 3-4 people. Sounds like it is a tight wad running this place who needs to keep politics out of their business and give the customers what they want. Thought it was a hidden gem first time we came, now we will never be back. read more

Very accommodating for a late supper out of season. Reasonably priced menu, beers, and wines. Nice service, too.

Small interior that is perfect on a cold winter's day that makes you crave fish and chips in an Irish pub. But on sunny warm days, the outside patio is wonderful for sipping a beer and running into friends. read more
