We waited 10 minutes to be greeted once we sat down but that's because the hostess didn't let the waitress know we were there. There was no wait to be seated because we called ahead and got out on the list. Our waitress was so nice and checked on us regularly and the food was great! I got the all you can eat crab legs and they were cooked perfectly and there was no delay with more. Just wish they had those tiny forks to help get the crab meat out. Women's bathroom was clean. Live band was playing which gave it an extra beachy feel. There was something questionable on the tv (not appropriate for kids), but I'm not sure if that's the restaurants fault really. Overall good experience and hope to return!

The food was fabulous. I was consistently impressed with the freshness of ALL the ingredients…read more Perhaps it helped that I wasn't sure what was in store for us when we entered with a large group of adults and kids; we were looking for a brunch spot, and were surprised to see a collection of couches and armchairs. It lent to a cozy vibe, and our terrorizer kids even chilled out a little. Highly recommend the flight of mimosa bombs (they were delightfully strong and equal to about 1 drink in volume!), and the all-you can eat brunch--but only if you want Diane to give you a magical experience with deliciousness coming out your ears. Bacon is crisp, FRIED CHICKEN PUTS CHICK FIL-A to damn shame, eggs were made with lots of yummy butter, the grill lends a nice char and toast to the sourdoughs and avocado toasts, the fruit in the parfaits were very freshly cut and prepared--the entire experience was handmade as we ordered, and any wait was WELL worth it once we got to chowing down! Diane was welcoming, extremely adaptable to our situation, and frankly cared about our experience. She might be a little overworked but; The rest of the town is full of the rudest service crews... Diane made me feel special. Love that woman!!!! Protect her at all costs! Lmaoooo

We chose this place for its rooftop views of the beach and the fair. The service was quick, but…read morethey did not tell us it was last call and promptly closed the bar at 9:45. The space between the bar and the rail is maybe 2 bodies deep so we didn't get to walk around and really enjoy the view. The drinks were good, and the place was hopping. I would definitely pop by for 1 drink again, but I wouldn't make this my destination bar for an evening.

I like it, but not a whole lot to say about it. A private club, so you have to give them your personal info. They have a pretty decent selection of beers, full bar and no food. Pool tables are in pretty good shape and the music seems to be at least mediocre except for the karaoke, which was pretty awful the night I went, lol. I'll be back when in the area.

On nice days they open the front windows so you can post up and people watch, or if you prefer to watch sports they have tons of TVs.

They have a variety of seating options, including some group-friend booths. On my last visit, I sat at the bar and ordered a flight of beer. Tony the bartender was very patient with my request for a flight of local beer with no IPAs or hoppy beers. He picked out: 2: Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush, 3. Waterline Kolsh, 4. Teaches Peaches, 1. Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst. I was familiar with the first three and loved them. I jokingly refer to Wrightsville Beach Orange Crush as creamsicle beer. It isn't too sweet, but the Orange flavor is quite strong. The Waterline Kolsh is light and very easy to drink. The Teaches Peaches is one of my favorites due to its light fruity flavor. The Watermelon Dragon Fruit Burst was a wildcard in Tony's lineup. This sour was a refreshing way to mix up my beer tasting. My friend also got a flight and didn't like one of the beers he chose. Tony swapped it out for a different beer as soon as I told him and the new one was well-received. My favorite part of this visit was that Tony decided to bring me a sample of the 8. Firestone Walker Mind Haze, because it was a non-hoppy IPA and he thought I might like it. It wasn't my fave, but I really appreciated the opportunity to try something new. I snacked on free popcorn all during my visit. The popcorn machine is in the back. Also in the back are single-stall restrooms. Tavern Law has an A+ in my book because they have great local beer on tap and they are gay friendly.

The homemade hot was okay, for sure could have spiced it up for hot. No need for any dipping sauce if you want to taste the flavor. They have a cotton candy flavor will try next time.

Sweetie got crab dip and though it tasted good she wasn't thrilled with the texture (too finely minced?) But that was the only misstep. Shared spinach artichoke dip with my cousin, both liked it. Also shared an order of fried fish- again liked it. Good, tender fish, with a thin crispy batter nicely seasoned. Another cousin got a bowl of fisherman's chowder, as did I, and we both really liked it. Chock full of seafood. Her husband got a Philly cheesesteak and said it was excellent. Kid K got tenders and fries, all good. Plus a side Caesar salad which she liked (and I finished, again good.) And we got some cheese sticks, also good reviews all around. Service was great. Prices were decent. Mixed drinks and beers were good. It's handy- and open in the off season. With limited options, it's nice to find good ones. I'd come back.

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.
