Half of the tables were empty. It took us over 15 minutes just to put our order in. After receiving our order the shrimp was good as always, but my fries were so hard I could only eat half of them.

We did have one issue with a clam that had some black material inside, which affected the flavor of part of the steamer. I called the restaurant afterward, and Nick, the manager, was extremely kind, professional, and helpful. He apologized sincerely and made the situation right. I do not believe anyone there knowingly served something off -- it seemed like an unfortunate one-off issue, and the way they handled it said a lot about their customer service. Because of how respectful and sincere Nick was, I would definitely give Topsail Steamer another try.

The baked beans may honestly be the best I've ever had--big chunks of bacon and all sorts of goodness packed into them. Seriously, don't overlook the beans! The grouper bites are a must-order--crispy, fresh and delicious. The mahi tacos were equally impressive, with fresh fish, great flavor and generous portions. Great seafood, cold drinks, beautiful waterfront setting and the kind of place you could hang out at all afternoon. One piece of advice: there's only one men's room and one women's room, so maybe don't drink too much. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

We had the choice of sitting outside, inside or at the bar! It was quite busy when we arrived so it was a little bit of a wait to get served. However, Our server was very sweet and attentive towards our party. Gave us some great recommendations. We started off with clam chowder, gumbo, and ceviche and it came out pretty quickly. Everything was made in house and absolutely delicious! The gumbo was my favorite. After the appetizers came through we ordered our main dishes and got fried shrimp, and fish tacos! It took some time for it to come out but once it did it was super exciting to get it. Everything was delicious, and for the shrimp you had a choice of small and large. I ordered small while my boyfriend ordered a large. We had tons and tons of food and it was so so good! We finished off with some delicious key lime pie and it was well worth the waiter bringing it out to us! My favorite definitely was the key lime pie and finishing up with that as well!

The sauce they give you with it is necessary because otherwise it doesn't have much flavor to it. The pulled pork nachos were ok- just felt like a bunch of lettuce thrown on top of some chips with the meat- which was also flavorless. The metal chairs are also incredibly uncomfortable to sit in. They were so low and hurt the bum! The kids meal grilled cheese and fries were not good. The fries had a burnt flavor. The island chicken sandwich was the only thing that brought some joy.

They thoughtfully provided him with a smaller fork that was easier for him to use, which truly meant a lot to our family. Their kindness and attention to detail made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to coming back!

We started with the carpaccio and artichokes to share: the carpaccio was pretty good, nothing too special. The artichokes were amazing. One of the best artichoke appetizers I've ever had. They were soft and tender and the sauce paired deliciously well. Very unique. I highly recommend trying. Scallop appetizer: the scallops were cooked very well, I thought the caramelized onions were not cooked that memorably, they also weren't my favorite pairing with this dish. The sauce was ok, the scallops were the star, the other components were not the best but I enjoyed the appetizer Shrimp and scallops linguine: (blackened) The shrimp and scallops were very tasty and well cooked. The pasta was al dente and sauce was good, maybe could use a bit of salt but the dish overall was very good. Gnocchi and medallions: the gnocchi was surprisingly good, it's hard to get good gnocchi but these were really good. The sauce was delicious!! And the medallions were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. I'm ordering this again when I come back. Sea bass: really good dish composition. The eggplant and zucchini ratatouille paired really good with the pesto and the mashed potatoes, and the star of the show was the fish, cooked really well and seasoned very nicely (got it blackened). Highly recommend. Brussels sprouts were also a really enjoyable side. I will happily come back :)
