The service was spectacular and the restaurant was spotless. We liked it so much, we came back today and tried more menu items. We were really impressed with the crispy tater tots.

A++++ Surf City…read moreSmash absolutely lives up to the hype--and then some. I've been hearing about this place for the past year and knew I had to try it the next time we came down to Surf City, where we have a vacation home on the island. After reading all the glowing reviews and drooling over the photos, my expectations were high... and they were completely met. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a lovely young lady with a big, welcoming smile--such a great first impression. We ordered the double smash burger with fries and the Surf Philly with tater tots, and wow. Omgeee. The food here is fresh, cooked perfectly, and ridiculously yummy. The smash burger was juicy with that perfect crispy edge, the fries were hot and seasoned just right, and the Surf Philly was packed with flavor. The tater tots? Golden, crispy perfection. You can tell real care goes into the food here--from quality ingredients to thoughtful preparation. Surf City Smash is the kind of place that turns a casual meal into a must-visit spot every time you're on the island. We'll 100% be back, and I'll be recommending it to everyone we know. If you're in Surf City and haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.

I REALLY hope this was a one off but I am worried it was not. What changed? The ground beef. Not sure if they got a different supplier or they are trying to cut costs but neither scenario is good because the meat is horrible. I will try it one more time to be sure but IF this is the new norm- I will not be back, like ever. If it's a cost savings plan- this never works. You end up alienating your core customer base to save a few pennies. It's not like this place is cheap. I'm paying a decent price but I expect a decent burger. Please Island Delights- don't do us like that.

I wish I had looked before driving off, but I called back to the restaurant and asked if they would address it. The manager was super kind about it and gave me a credit for 2 pizza orders in the future. I appreciated that she was quick to try to resolve it. One suggestion, if you use part of the credit on your next phone number order, the remaining credit disappears, so remind them to put the remainder of the credit back on your phone number. Excellent service, great pizza, and extra stars for making it right! Thank you!

When pizza order was over an hour late, I called the store. I was "assured" that my pizza would be there momentarily and was out with a driver. Twenty minutes later, doorbell rang, and in the 4 seconds it took me to get to the door, pizza was left on my porch and driver was getting back in the car. The pizza was cold, the wings were cold, the breadsticks were burned, and AGAIN, for the umpteenth time, no ranch dressing with the wings. I called to complain and was faced with major patronization and rudeness and no results at all, not even an apology. I emailed pizza hut and as expected, an auto-generated email response with the "promise" someone would be in touch regarding this case. Of course, nothing ever heard. This is NOT the first time for such absolutely horrible service from this pizza hut and for such terrible customer service in response from pizza hut themselves. I do not recommend anyone using them. I only gave one star because it won't let you give zero stars. Or even negative stars.

New York Corner Deli was our breakfast place when we stayed at Topsail Beach in the summer of 2022,…read moreand at Surf City in the summer of 2025. Conveniently located in the center of Topsail Island, it was a 15-minute drive from our 2022 Airbnb stay. With our stay at Saltwater Suites in 2025, the drive was less than 5 minutes. With four mornings between the two stays, we dined in at NY Corner Deli four times. It had everything we wanted. My son and I are sticklers for routine. In every visit to NY Corner Deli, we ordered the same thing: 2 scrambled eggs with toast & potatoes for me, and pancakes for him. Orders were placed at the counter. Then we went upstairs to the dining area and waited for the orders to be served. There were no issues with the order, food or service in the four visits. In both 2022 visits, I had coffee; in both 2025 visits, I had Mountain Dew. Refills are free for both coffee and soda. My order tasted better than a similar one at Tick Tock Diner in NYC. It was great value for money. I always felt that I ate enough to last me through lunch. There was no reason to try anything different. Unlike Tick Tock Diner, NY Corner Deli did not have any TVs in the dining area. We go to the beach to get away from the world. TVs keeps us connected to the world and the negativity that comes with it. Furthermore, there weren't many people in the dining area whenever we were here. I had only seen up to two other tables that were occupied. If you like a decent breakfast and a quiet atmosphere, NY Corner Deli is the place to be. I'll be back the next time I'm in the Topsail / Surf City area.

The walls are covered in black-and-white prints of the Brooklyn Bridge, sepia-toned yellow cabs, and metal street signs screaming Broadway and 5th Ave. The seating is divided into two thrillingly average, non-beachy options: Upstairs or Downstairs. Both levels feature the exact same standard-issue, wobbly metal diner chairs, with vinyl tables upstairs. The menu is an everything menu, nothing specific, no specialties, consider this a one stop shop for anytime of the day. It serves up a breakfast that is heavy, completely unpretentious, and designed to fill you to the brim. Like the rest of the menu, it doesn't aim for culinary innovation; it aims for maximum density and they are open when everyone else is closed. By the time you scrape the plate clean, you are utterly, heavily full and ready to take on the day. Cheers!
