Service is always good, some meals better than others but we never leave hungry or disappointed! They have an extensive menu and we started with the boneless chicken bites and Jalapeño cheese skewers, both of which are amazing every time we visit. For dinner we branched out this time and got snow crab legs, salads, a chicken sandwich, and a lobster pasta which came with an entire lobster! Keeping in mind it IS bar food, but everything was good and no one walked away hungry. Cocktails were also fantastic. There is a reason we always stop in and it's because they are consistent with great service! Kudos

Okay this is an easy one! Our 1st night in Jacksonville, NC…read morecouldn't have started any better. This is the areas Pittsburg Steeler watering hole, we each ordered something different and everything was tasty, hot, and perfectly prepared. On the menu are Carolina crab cakes, real Carolina crab cakes. Not those store bought machine produced cardboard type hockey pucks you find in the frozen food isle in Hyvee. My cakes were perfect, fresh and the ramalade sauce to die for. Sweet spicy with a little heat. We will return

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.

Goldbelly does not allow you to add extra corn and potatoes like the local Steamer website does. Regardless the amount of potatoes we got was a joke. And I'm wondering if even the amount of sausage and shrimp we received are for 4-6 people. This wasn't our experience last year where 4 men had a tough time getting through all the food. This time it looks like 4 children could get through it easily. I will not be ordering delivery again and when we visit in August I will see if the amount of food is the same as last year when ordering locally.

Do not go here, the food heating was not turned on. You're paying for food poisoning and attitude, not restaurant service. Nope!

No through traffic of wait staff or customers. We ordered drinks and started off with small house salads. Salads are a good portion for smalls. However, we were just barely finishing salads, bread had just come out, then entrees. I guess we thought putting in orders together, food wouldn't come out so fast. Server took our salad plates and handed us our entrees. We both ordered shrimp scampi. So delicious but I took half to go. When food comes out too fast, I just can't finish. I will think to wait on ordering entrees. I really don't like food coming out one after the other. I understand the kitchen makes the food as it comes in, but the timing could have been better. Food and service is always good here. Wouldn't mind waiting a few extra minutes for meals so we don't feel rushed out.

Ok First time trying the location at Monkey Junction. Nice…read morelittle restaurant. Good size bar. They say is in another room each looks like they use for private dinners or overflow. Wish we were in the main room. Anyway, good size menu. Everything you need from chowder, fried platters, broiled dishes and non dish items too. We went with the basic fried platters. The flounder was good, hot and crispy. The fries basic. Cole slaw tasty. The hushpuppies were not good. Small, over cooked and dry. The food came out fast. The service was great. They had good dinner specials and bar specials too. I will be back. It's a good neighborhood restaurant. 3.5 stars. But sure it will be a four next visit.
