    Great atmosphere and service with a lovely view of the water but the food is only average. Sit outside if you can!

    Bacon cheeseburger with fries.

    Jessica was a very friendly server. We had the foot long hot dog, Italian sausage sandwich and the bacon cheeseburger. Everything tasted very good. It was nice and quiet...until some of the golfers came in from playing.

    Ate here during a Wed. Night special for wings. Service was very slow and inattentive. Food was acceptable in taste, not the best I've ever had, not the worst. We arrived and were seated promptly. Menus were delivered after a few minutes. Wait staff said they would be right back to take our drink order. Waiting, waiting... after several minutes we were asked for our drink orders. No mention of food or specials, no chatting, appeared to be rushed, however the dinning room was not that busy, about 4 tables (one large party) and 3 servers with one bus person. After about 10 minutes later, asked us for our order. It's now probably 15-20 minutes after we arrived. We ordered the wings (hot and buffalo sauce.) Food when it was delivered was hot and pretty good. The wings could here been crisper, however the sauces were tasty. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, they were lacking taste. Should have had more seasoning before breading I think. Convenient dining option if you are at Lockwood Folly. Maybe the service is better at lunch... not impressed overall.

The Asian bbq shrimp and shrimp and grits were delicious appetizers and my friends loved the oysters. Our entrees were beyond delicious and we had tasty leftovers to take home. Our server Iliana was so knowledgeable and top of things. I will absolutely be back to eat here.

    We visited Island Way as walk-ins and arrived around 6:15 PM. We were told the wait would be about…read more45 minutes and expected to be seated around 7:00 PM, which was completely reasonable. Unfortunately, we weren't seated until about 7:30 PM, and communication from the host stand wasn't very helpful. The front desk staff came across as rude and not particularly accommodating. We ended up dining outside on the deck, which was a nice setting. Our servers were clearly working hard and doing the best they could to keep up with a busy evening, so I want to give them credit for their efforts. However, the bar was extremely slow, which added significantly to the overall dining time. We didn't leave until around 9:00 PM. For food, we ordered the Scallop Neptune special, crab dip, and chicken parmesan. Everything was good, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. The sweet tea, however, was fantastic--easily the highlight of the meal. We also ordered Coronas, though the wait from the bar was noticeably long. If you're dining as adults and don't mind a leisurely evening, you may enjoy the waterfront atmosphere. However, I would not recommend bringing a baby or young children. Between the extended wait, slow service, and overall pace of the meal, it wasn't a particularly family-friendly experience. Overall, the setting was nice and the waitstaff worked hard, but the rude host interaction, delayed seating, and slow bar service made for a less-than-great experience.

    Love this place. Have been going every year, (we have a place at the beach that we visit a few…read moretimes a year) several times, since it opened. Love their food, bartenders are SO friendly and make great drinks, view from the top is great. Almost ALWAYS busy, especially on weekends and 5pm and after weekdays, so you are going to probably wait. I've tried just about everything on the menu and I've never been disappointed! P.S. Try the Key Lime Pie Shot

Even in warmer weather, the fans were keeping everything breezy and nice. The service was on point. We had an amazing bartender who served us up some really good and tasty Moscow Mules, and served us some very amazing crab dip. We decided to stay and have dinner and enjoyed crab stuffed flounder, some very crispy and tasty French fries, as well, we took home another crab dip appetizer and a sweet potato for my mom. She enjoyed both, and as she stated, "that was one exceptional sweet potatoe! The crab dip is so good!" It was an enjoyable evening. We met some of the nicest locals and enjoyed a nice conversation. They happened to know the owners and they came over and spoke as well. Such nice people! All of them. When visiting or vacationing at Holden Beach NC, be sure to stop in, say hello, and enjoy some great eats.

Our last visit was decent, so we decided to give it another shot. However, tonight's experience was a complete disaster. We were seated promptly, but our server seemed annoyed that he had to wait on us and rushed us through the ordering process. He was rude and abrasive. We ordered flounder, and it was a complete disappointment. It arrived barely warm, tough, and dry. The most disheartening part was that most of it was nothing more than fried skin with little to no fish inside. We considered asking for a replacement, but our waiter never returned to our table again until he brought the check. He simply laid it on our table and said, "Pay up front." When I went to pay, the person behind the counter, who I assume was one of the owners, was lounging in his chair with his feet up, engrossed in his cell phone. He took the bill, rang it up, and said, "Tap or insert." Then he went back to his personal call. I understand that it's a family-owned restaurant, and the owners can do whatever they want. However, with the start of tourist season, they don't have to provide any customer service or care about the quality of their food. They'll still make a killing. While I know I won't be missed, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. There are too many other options available. See the photo for a visual representation of the poor quality of the food. It's definitely not worth $56 for two flounder fish specials.
