1st disappointing meal in years. My fried flounder had obviously sat under a warming light for…read morequite some time before it was served. It was dried out and tough. My fried shrimp was only warming, not hot. Best part of my meal were the hush puppies and cole slaw. I hate to post a negative review but the quality was definitely off on my visit. Unfortunately I'm only in the area once year; I hope next years visit will be more like my previous ones.

Well......it's been an hour since I ordered. They are not that busy for a Saturday at almost 8pm…read more First of all, I had to ask for utensils and sauce. The flounder and shrimp were good. I should note that atleast half the menu was unavailable. I am assuming do to a slump in business. The shrimp are cleaned good and both the shrimp and fish are cooked perfectly. Overall the food was better than the service was. Half the time there was no one around.

Pier 34 was extremely welcoming the moment we stepped inside. We had the option of upstairs or…read moredownstairs. We were seated and ordered our drinks. They make their tea and lemonades fresh and you can definitely taste the difference. We ordered the trout, shrimp, a crab boil and some wings. Nothing disappointed. Outward appearance may be slightly deterring, but 100% recommend. The portions, quality and price are perfect.

Food and…read moredrinks came out super fast & our server was not shy about making craft beer recommendations. The Hawaiian burger - though made more medium well than "medium" - was juicy. Shrimp burger was flavorful all around with perfect seasoning blend! The fries were a strange shape and deliciously crispy. The space inside is expansive - more expansive than it appears since the facade makes the place look like it's a smaller venue. The décor is well done with a perfect mix of rustic charm and comfort. From the bear statues to the wall hangings, there is so much attention to detail everywhere. Though we didn't bring a fur baby. The back of the menu makes it clear pups - and horses - are welcome!

We really wanted to love this spot…read more.. Giving this spot a 3 instead of a 2, strictly because of my New England seafood bias. First things first: $10 for 4 slices of fried green tomato Would have been okay but it is merely sliced tomato, dredged in a plain cornstarch panko, with store bought pimento in a sauce cup. No pizzazz, no flavor. Give us some flavor! Shrimp was flavorful, how could it not be with old bay...but tasted almost like plastic after being microwaved. Scallops were honestly... kinda gross. No flavor and still quite sandy. One side over done one side under done. Mac and cheese tasted microwaved as well. My husband got the lobster roll. He said the 'spicy remoulade' tasted mostly like cocktail sauce mixed with mayo- no spice. Also, no lettuce or anything to make it pop. Lobster is usually market price so for $20, the meat portion was okay. Server was an absolute sweetheart, that's basically the only highlight. She wasn't even remotely surprised by our disappointment, that speaks volumes.

Came in for a late lunch. Friendly, quick service and fresh oysters. What more could you ask for? I…read morestarted with some raw oysters on the half shell because how do you come to an oyster bar and not have oysters? Don't be silly.

We've lived in the area for about 6 years. Eat out fairly often. This restaurant by far has been…read morethe most consistent in the quality of the food, which is the best of all the restaurants in the topsail area. It is not fine dining and has the sports bar vibe. It is a relatively small place and I recommend going on non peak hours in season. If you are into oysters, they have a great selection of both local and regional on the half shell. If you prefer cooked, chargrilled or steamed is a good choice. While the menu has a great selection of seafood, the chalkboard specials features extremely fresh local catches which change daily. While there are several restaurants in and around the topsail area this is the only one where I have never been disappointed. If you go at peak hours during the vacation season expect to wait but it is worth it. You can't miss with any of the steamed shellfish offerings and if you prefer fried there batter is light and not overpowering. As a sports bar, they have a large selection of tap and bottled beers and a good mixology of liquor options which is only outdone in my opinion by Rick's in Sneads Ferry

Whenever a restaurant puts "market price" next to an item, I'm worried. But Dear Wife and I were in…read morethe low country and we wanted a low country boil. So that's what we got. I could've asked the price upfront (and usually do) but what the heck... we're on vacation. The server suggested we get a "double" and share it. OK. Sounds good. It came out quick. There was a TON of food for two of us. Shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn. It didn't have a lot of seasoning also on it, but - no problem - there was a rack with every hot sauce you'd ever need, plus salt, pepper and old bay. We both ate our fill and even left a few potatoes. The bill comes and it's less than $40. It might be the cheapest great meal I've had in a long time. Or maybe it's the "greatest cheap meal" I've had in a long time... I don't know. Bar ambiance, but pleasant enough for families. Mostly high tables. It all seemed very nice.

The food is ok, the service is great and the location is almost perfect…read more This is a pool deck and stage area, lots of cement and terraced levels fenced off from the pool but this also blocks the ocean and beach views. All the cement makes it a bit loud but also hot because it soaks in the heat and radiates it back out all day. This is fine in the cooler months or if you have pool access as a guest. There is an inside dining room too but why use that when its so much nicer outside? The food was good, not great, and like most tourist areas a bit over priced for the quality. I'm not saying it wan't good because everything we tried we liked. Only it was nothing to get too excited about for the higher prices. Honestly you're paying for the view and the nice outdoor seating. Note: The closer parking lots are for condo/hotel guests only and they will tow you away. If you're just coming to the restaurant you must park across the street. When we went there was plenty of of available parking but it was a very hot day in the high 90s and high humidity so by the time I parked and walked over I was already sweaty and uncomfortable. On a normal day it would be no big deal for me, but if your with people who cannot climb a steep driveway or do a long walk then I would drop them off at the front door and then go park.
