Randy runs the fish market and Mike makes the best grilled grouper sandwich I've ever had. All four of my kids begged to come back! It's a Topsail MUST. read more

Most convenient meal in topsail/surf city. After waiting in lines for up to an hour at other restaurants in the area last week. We were ready to have an easy meal for our last evening of vacation. This was the only fresh seafood (besides swordfish) we were offered on the island. And we went to the other top rated restaurants. Everything was fresh local from their own fishermen on the menu. FINALLY! Within 30 minutes of calling an order in for 6 people, it was packaged hot and ready for a take home dinner. If you dismiss this for a meal because it's not an AC'ed, crowded, loud restaurant, you're missing out! Enjoy your meal in the comforts of your own place. We had grouper, grilled and blackened. Peel and eat shrimp and Mahi. All delicious. Don't miss this while you're in town. They close at 6pm so plan accordingly. read more

Lewis Seafood has everything you need for a fresh, local fish dinner cooked at home or some shack tacos to go. They have all the seasonings and sides you might need - simple, fresh island food. The tacos are stupidly large and truly the most delicious tacos I have ever had in my life. They're perfectly seasoned with fresh fish - ask for the catch of the day for the freshest option! The folks that work here will walk you through the flavors of the different fish and help you choose what you need. It's a simple spot, but sometimes the simplest places are also the sweetest. I can't come to topsail without eating at least one taco and taking some fresh fish home! They even have meat in the fridge if you have non-fish eaters in your group or are looking for a good surf and turf! read more

We called on July 3rd to make sure the shack would be open on the holiday. The man on the phone said yes. We planned our whole holiday around going to the shack in the middle of the beach day. We walked there and it was not open, at all, for the whole day. Ridiculous to lie on the phone about it and ruined our day read more

Fun local institution. A must visit when in South Topsail Island. Huge packed seafood tacos, bowls, sandwiches. With Fresh Catch of The Day/s. Permanently situated food truck adjacent to local seafood market (permanent building). Friendly staff and also can overhear local based conversations of friends / neighbors. And also accomodates tourist like me. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience. The fish was very dry and had a strong fishy taste, which made it unpleasant to eat. On top of that, I was accidentally hit by one of the umbrellas, and no one seemed concerned. One of the older guys looked out the window, saw what happened, and didn't come outside to check on me or try to make things right. The cashier was friendly and polite, so I appreciate that. I don't plan on coming back. read more

We ordered 8 shrimp baskets around 2 pm on a Saturday. They were busy and said it would be 30 minutes. No biggie. When we came back 30 minutes later, they said it would be another 30 minutes. Be prepared to be on beach time. read more

WOW!! Fantastic all around- the food is worthy of 10 stars at least, and the service from Celeste, Mike, Randy, and the whole crew really makes you feel at home. Had grouper sandwiches, both fried and grilled, which were absolutely phenomenal & the shrimp taco was the biggest and freshest we've EVER had. Best views, cute and quaint. read more

Lewis Seafood Shack - Fried grouper sammy- YUMMM - Seafood Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

We had the catch of the day which was delicious and well prepared. The price is high considering this is a food truck and the servings aren't that large. We ended up stopping for fish tacos after eating at Lewis'. The person working was helpful but not nearly as friendly as with other places we visited. read more

I certainly love good food I am truly disappointed these days everything I eat gets one maybe two 2 or three 3 bites then I throw it in my Trash Can. At the end of each week my ice cold box is filled with half eaten meals I live alone if I do cook ‍ o throw it away as well read more

I spent the weekend at Topsail Beach with my wife and came upon this little place. I ended up purchasing a pound of shrimp and a bag of good-sized scallops, along with some Cajun seasoning. Cooked them both up for dinner on our last night. But wait; there's more to this place. Outside is a food trailer with a lovely menu. I got the Grouper taco (it's really burrito sized) and the Seafood stew. The Grouper was grilled and seasoned to perfection and the Seafood stew (tomato based) was full of all good things from the ocean. These two places are a must visit when you're in Topsail. Everything is reasonably priced and I'll be stopping by when I'm nearby! Well done! read more

Lewis Seafood Shack - Grouper Taco and Seafood Stew. - Seafood Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Food is great! Drinks are cold. Really enjoyed the burger, club sandwich and pizza was delish. My daughter came back 3 days in a row for the tomato soup!! Dog friendly and ice cream shop attached for a sweet treat! read more

Oh my goodness - so fresh and yummy! This is our first time on Topsail Island and first time at Lewis Seafood Shack. It is a food truck set up right off the sound, and the fish and seafood are as fresh as can be. We walked through the seafood store to the back pier and watched a fisherman clean today's catch! They call the meal a "taco", but it's really more the size of a smaller burrito. I ordered the Mahi Mahi, and it was the perfect size for a nice lunch. My husband ordered the shrimp taco, and it was fantastic as well! Prices are fair, at about $10-$12 for the "giant tacos." They also offer delicious burgers if you have a non seafood eating friend (or kid) along with you. The staff was friendly and pleasant - I really have no complaints. I'm already looking forward to my next trip, because I will definitely be back! read more

First time visiting. I've never had a taco like this before- Baja style. The cotija cheese and sauce on it made it sooo extra good. I loved it! Super messy to eat I wasn't sure the best way to do it but it was great! You can call ahead to pick up and it's cash only. I would call ahead next time though the wait wasn't bad but there came a large group after us as it's seems to be very popular. I would come here again when visiting this area. read more

Excellent fresh seafood in TB! Highly recommend! Definitely catch the food truck options as well!

Eat taco place in the area. All very fresh local fish. Try nice people, quick service. Right by the waterfront.

Both the shack and the market are fantastic! Local seafood cooked to perfection. That seafood market has a wide variety of locally caught fish right of the boats.....it doesn't get any fresher! read more

Stumbled upon this place in South Topsail and WOW we loved it!!! Everyone got a taco and we all split some sides and the red snapper which was one of the daily catches. The shrimp taco is like a burrito, it's huge and filled with deliciousness! The red snapper and rice as also great. We all enjoyed the asian slaw and orzo salad. The woman working was so nice! Everything was fresh and made to order. Definitely recommend to anyone on the island! read more

This seafood truck is AMAZING. So many options for fresh seafood. Perfect after a hot day on the beach. The service is top notch and they are so friendly and nice. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Always top notch and super fresh!! A must have every time we go to Topsail. The seafood stew is my favorite and is hard to get as they sell out early every day. read more

The best seafood you'll taste. It doesn't get any fresher than how they do it. I could eat here for the rest of my life

Some of the best fresh seafood I've had. They cook what they catch and it is delicious. They cook everything to order in a food truck outside their fresh fish market right on the water. Because they are cooking to order, it does take a little time, it it's work the wait. We went twice during our short stay in the area. The people are friendly and ready to cook you great fish! read more

Amazing food and always fresh. Great service and friendly owners. Love the shrimp and fish tacos read more

Friendly people, very good food! Our favorite place to eat when we are on vacation at Top Sail.

These are the best tacos on the island. Fresh fish and great Clam Chowder made up a wonderful lunch. The staff is friendly and offer great service. You will not be sorry you drove to Topsail beach for this meal. read more

Great food, incredible value! It sure is nice being able to get something there quick and easy. They take call you in orders also. A great option at Topsail Beach. read more

So we tried this place and hoping it was going to be good, and it was delicious. I got the sea bass sandwich (delicious) we also got the shrimp taco (my husband said it was the best he's ever had) we got the fried cod sandwich and it too was delicious, and cheeseburgers for the kiddos. Everything was fantastic and we will definitely be visiting again before we leave the island! Oh, and super friendly couple running the shack which is a plus. So it is definitely worth a try. read more

Lewis Seafood Shack - Shrimp taco (minus the avocado) - Seafood Near Me - Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Probably the best shrimp taco I have ever had. Healthy amount of shrimp, great flavoring and delicious veggies. I only wish I had tried it earlier in my vacation, I would have been there EVERY day. read more

Waited over an hour for our food, no notice it would take that long and the staff was rude. People said the food is worth the wait! I disagree 100%. The shrimps taco have runny mayo, 6 shrimp, cabbage and chunks of tomato. The clam chowder was water with cream. Very disappointing for the price. read more

Great tacos and fresh fish. Extremely slow, you'll wait 20-30 minutes if there are 2-3 people ahead of you. read more

Wow, what a treat to come across Lewis's Seafood shack during our beach trip! The food was amazing and restored my faith in finding excellent, delicious food post Covid. We devoured the Mahi Tacos and can't wait to try another masterpiece from the menu!! Simply divine; Mike and Celeste have filled a huge void with their service and menu! read more

Fresh local seafood prepared a variety of ways. I'll be dreaming of the snapper taco Baja style 'til next summer. They had lots of non fish options for the land lovers too. My husband enjoyed his Philly steak and we both devoured the onion rings. The seafood market is a great spot for the home chef. Me, I'd rather come back for dinner! Cash only and Pepsi products FYI. Might have trouble finding a seat outside with only 2 tables so make a plan B for a beach or dockside picnic or taking it home. Support local fisheries! read more

Super tasty grouper and shrimp plates! Friendly folks and quick service. Can't wait to go back!
