Surf City Line - Tacos Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Just ate at the new Surf City Line and everything we had was absolutely amazing! From the wings, to the deviled eggs to the flatbreads to the steamed shrimp! Delicious! read more

Not 1 bad thing to say! Food was amazing. Drinks were amazing. Server was amazing. Manager greeted our daughter that just turned 21 to wish her a happy bday. Sat outside and it was a great area - bad was a nice touch and made the evening even better! I read reviews about the menu - we loved it. Everyone found something they absolutely loved! Loved that it wasn't 4 pages of selections. Will be visiting again for sure! 1000% recommend!!! read more

This was the first time we had been in a while. The new menu is odd and limited. My husband's chicken sandwich was ok and the fries were good. The shrimp cocktail was not what I was expecting. The shrimp were soaking in a Clamato mixture and they didn't have that pop you would expect from a shrimp cooked perfectly. I have a gluten allergy so the menu was too concerning for me to try an entree. I had the coop and cukes which are deviled eggs and homemade pickles. Pickles were great but the deviled eggs weren't impressive. The yolk mixture was too runny. Also, if you order the house margarita, be prepared for one of those canned/draft margarita's. It sounds like it's often sent back to be replaced with an actual margarita. read more

Wing review time! Meatiness 3 stars Taste 4 Stars Size 3 Stars Presentation 3 Stars Texture 4 Stars Overall 3 Stars I ordered the triple threat: Buffalo, Bear (Buffalo/teriyaki), and Nashville Hot dry rub. Dry wings, but better overcooked than underseasoned, right? Size doesn't justify the $19 price tag for 12 wings. BUT, flavors are on point! Bear wings stole the show, followed by Nashville Hot. Buffalo's just... basic. Don't come for Buffalo, come for the Bear! read more

Surf City Line - Bar and tv. - Tacos Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Visited here on a very uncrowded Tuesday night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and food. We started with grouper bites and peel and eat shrimp and selected a few different entrees-- all tasty and generously sized. We had great service and had a fun night in an uncrowded spot. Win win! read more

Surf City Line - Shrimp Bowl - Tacos Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

What a fun spot! Tiki bar vibes with live music and a really nice outdoor seating area. Looked like you could walk to the beach from the restaurant. It was a nice breezy evening! The food was good, I got the peel and eat shrimp with fries (which were amazing)! I was jealous of my father in laws grouper nuggets, which were AMAZING! Our server was super sweet and attentive. read more

I can't say enough about this place. The wings were so good and the service was great. I'm not from the area and flew in to see my friend super early this morning. We walked to City Line and it was quite the trek. Our sweet server, Sonia, was trying to help us secure an Uber ride back home and said let me get Brian!! He was busy running the place yet drove me and my friend back to her place on Halloween. Brian - dad of six girls - you made our evening! We will be back to your place soon. read more

We were planning to hit up another place for dinner and drinks but we drove by here and it was really lively and so we decided to give it a try instead. Small dining room with lots of TVs (perfect for March Madness) and a long bar where you have a front seat view to the kitchen. We were greeted right away and seated inside but there is a beautiful outside deck option for seating. Our server was busy but really attentive, she was sweet to describe the menu and the options were right up my alley. It's upscale simple is how I will describe it, a nice cross of seafood and Mexican food. You can get tacos or bowls, with loads of options. As a vegan who occasionally eats fish, this worked really well! We both went with bowls, he had the Three Amigos and I had the Mahi, both with rice and beans. We had started with the chips and guacamole appetizer, the guacamole here could have been more elevated and they give you a big bowl, I was surprised it didn't come with salsa also. The chips had a sweet seasoning on them, overall solid. The bowls were really good, perfectly cooked rice, the fish stayed flaky which seems hard to do when it's in pieces in a bowl. There was one dominant seasoning that we couldn't place on it all that seemed a little out of place (cinnamon? Nutmeg?) but I would order this again no doubt. The drinks were string, real strong. Great beer selections too! We took our last round outside to enjoy the live music on the deck which was a great time. We will be back! read more

Very, very good beachy vibes with friendly people and good drinks. We didn't get food (just drinks), but saw multiple tables with nachos on them and they looked amazing. I need to go back and try them! Pearl was such a gem, so wonderful and kind!! read more

new menu...just ate there with friends yesterday...the grouper bites and the curry shrimp were phenomenal...we're going back again today...

I went with friends on cinco de mayo for dinner and to watch a band. We sat out on the lower deck. I ordered steak tacos with a side of chips and queso. My tacos were extremely filling and delicious! The queso was edible but not great. It was thin and flavorless. I had ordered their house margarita, which was lacking tequila the first glass. I asked the waitress-whom I might add was super sweet, she called us all "Love" - to grab me another margarita, but this time with tequila. She did just that! So service was on point! The space is super cool, lots of things to look at- 2 house directly in between the deck and the ocean. I got a good shot of the moon as I walked the boardwalk towards the ocean! It was a fun night! read more

New ownership, still meh. You have to pay $6 for chips and salsa. Wings and fried pickles on the apps list. Not a great representation of Mexican food. No prices on the drink menu. read more

New menu is uninspired . Food is mediocre at best. Bartenders are inexperienced. Very inexperienced. Wait staff is more interested in hanging out talking with each other than paying attention to patrons. They are a perfect example of the negatives associated with GenZ or GenX generation. We won't be coming back. read more

The atmosphere inside was beautiful. Comfortable chairs and modern beach feel. It was a Friday night so outside seating was full but we preferred to sit inside in the air conditioning and away from the band playing outside. We were seated and received menus immediately. However, after 15 minute wait without being seen by wait staff, one from our party ordered our drinks from the bar. Wait staff arrived while the drinks were being ordered at the bar. Wait staff was attentive. It took quite a while for the food to arrive; over an hour from when we walked through the door. Wings were delicious. Voodoo tacos and fries were great. Steak bowl's rice was scrumptious. So the food was good, the service and food time delivery was just slow. Food might be a tad overpriced for the smaller portions, although we appetizers we were plenty full. read more

This place sucks! Menu is a joke. Service is terrible. Waited an hour for mediocre food. Do not recommend at all! I wish we would have gone to a dive bar or called Dominos. read more

They have changed ownership, menu and cook staff needs to learn the menu. Servers are gracious and friendly trying to keep patrons that are waiting a long time, happy. Food was tasty, but not what was ordered. They ran out of rice, how. Rice is a cheap staple that you can make piles ahead. If you run out, send someone down to IGA. My 3 amigos had 2, it had NO mahi, maybe 3-4 shrimp and pork that was too tough to eat. Flavor there, just a lot of gristle. Tortillas should have come with it, had to ask for them. It would be better wrapped in foil warmed. Anyway, they just opened 2 weeks ago. We'll cut them some slack. We will try again maybe in the fall. Change the website, FB & Instagram. Let people know new ownership, menu, same name. read more

First I live here in surf city and we have tried to have dinner here before with similar issues. The servers here are great doing all they can. The owner and kitchen staff need to sort out their own problems we were here for two hours of which we watched several tables that were seated after us be served food and left before our food ever came out. We also witnessed another two tables having a similar situation. The food not worth the wait. We will never come back. Ps don't tell the customer you just started here when I've been here before and recognized yall. It's bad business not everyone is a tourist in this town. read more

Really nice place! Food was really good! Do yourself a favor and have the Mexican street corn!

A relaxing restaurant away from the hustle and bustle of this popular beach destination, this sweet spot serves delicious food and beverages and provides a path to the shore as well as great local live music. Enjoy a quiet afternoon on a weekday for lunch or a lively experience in the evening and on weekends. My preference is to walk on the beach during the week early afternoon then grab a bite to eat before heading home when this place is quiet, but I do enjoy meeting friends here for dinner and to listen to live music. If you don't want to wait for a table for dinner, aim to arrive around 5 pm. Keep in mind that during tourist season waitstaff and the kitchen have their hands full, so order a cocktail and chips with tropical salsa once you get your table then decide on one of their bowl entrees. I recommend the mango Margarita, and I usually get grouper or Mahi and have never been disappointed. Musical acts are usually local and top notch. Plenty of free parking across the street. Well behaved dogs on leashes welcome if sitting outside, but it does get crowded, so be mindful of both your pooch and other guests if bringing a dog here after 6 pm. There is an upstairs area for seating with a view of the ocean, but accessible by stairs only. There is a noise ordinance, so the music is usually not so loud that you can't comfortably converse with friends and waitstaff. Now, this is the beach, so if you are favored by bugs, I recommend spraying your ankles and arms if you plan on dining al fresco. read more

We were visiting for our last night in Surf City and loved the food! Our kids (15, 13 and 10) enjoyed the variety of choices - the queso fries were a favorite! Montana provided fantastic service and made the experience great read more

We waited 2.5 hours from arrival to departure for a table and our food. It wasn't crowded but the kitchen staff was "overwhelmed" we were told as we looked at the empty restaurant. We finally were seated outside. It took forever to get our food, about an hour and a half. The server was super nice but the wait for our food was ridiculous. They told us they were training a new guy in the kitchen, still unacceptable. So keep this is mind. We went on a Sunday. read more

The service was super slow it took 30 mins after being seated to have any server help us and that is after we asked to be helped. There were people who were sat after us receiving faster service than we were. When we finally did order food and drinks it took around 1 hour until we got our food and an extra 15 minutes to get the extra water and beer we requested, which again had to be reminded of. The food was really good and we all enjoyed it and the place was at a cute spot but the service was awful there. read more

Picked up food; Friendly staff from the moment I walked in and the food was ready to go on time. Food was delicious, we had the chicken nachos (so much chicken) and garlic parmesan wings were amazing. read more

It looks so pretty inside. While the wait was quick, service didn't come to our table for over 10 minutes to get drinks or introduce themselves. Our food also took awhile to come to our table. Over an hour, I was gazing reviews about the same issue. The food was okay but not fantastic. read more

Surf City Line - Aloha Shrimp tacos - Tacos Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

We have enjoyed this place in the past even though the prices are too high for what you get. Don't usually mind when it is good. However, we took friends last night and were so disappointed. The fish was dry and tough. When we requested extra crema, we were charged with no warning (Other local places do not charge for this). Finally, love the multi level decks with the option of eating inside and usually appreciate the entertainment. Last night, the music was a little too loud. We had asked because we hate having to yell across the table. The host basically ignored our question and said eh, not too bad. We are going to need to see some changes before bringing our future guests. read more

What a great addition to Surf City! You can't go wrong with three decks, an ocean view, corn hole & other activities, live music most nights, and, of course, good food & cocktails. I have visited SCL several times, and each visit was a refreshing, fun event. The waitstaff is unflaggingly energetic and friendly, which is impressive because they have three flights of stairs to contend with to take care of their clientele. The food is good, but there's nothing particularly remarkable about it. The Mole Bowly Birdie was tasty and filling, and both the Stoked Steak and Baja Bird burritos were good enough for me to actually crave one or the other occasionally. I really liked their Deep Blue Sea and Caipirinha cocktails, and my friends enjoyed the sangria. The primary reason I go to Surf City Line is for the view & super relaxed & relaxing atmosphere. Good food & drink is a bonus. read more

We had nachos and wings outside on the deck and it was very nice. Enjoyed the live music as well. Service was good.

Meh Poor service. Worse food... They were out of almost everything and we sat for over an hour and a half to get what they did have. Complete incompetence. The food was just not good room temp black beans with canned corn, dry chicken, stale hard from the box corn tacos. It was a complete waste of time and money. The restaurant was pretty empty so don't think they got tied up with volume. read more

Surf City Line - Post attacking the chicken nachos - Tacos Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

This restaurant is located right next to a public access to the beach which was super nice to wait at while our table was getting ready. The inside of the restaurant was clean and friendly. However, our waiter didn't come to our table for about 15 minutes even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. When we finally put in our order, our food took about an hour to get to us. When we got our food the wait for it felt extremely not worth it. The food was pretty good and fulfilling but the wait for it made it seem less of its potential. read more

The food, drinks, and atmosphere are five stars, easily! What's disappointing is how high the prices have gotten. I understand that life is expensive and there's factor's that cause prices to go up, but for a burrito, a bowl, and two drinks, $80 is a good chunk of change. We've been going here for a while, but this season the price has gone up significantly. We're really disappointed as we love the food, location, and vibe, but simply can't justify it anymore for the cost. read more

We got there right right around lunch and the restaurant was empty. After we ordered we waited on our food for close to 40 minutes. We were all super hungry so this made the wait brutal. Food comes out and presentation is nice. I had the pig kahuna which included fried pig. It was fried to death. I mean like so fried it hurts to chew. My bf's burrito was the same way. It would have been decent had it not been so fried but that made it lose most of its flavor. Also super overpriced. The tacos were $17 and the burrito was $18 I believe which is just outrageous. We don't mind paying a high price tag for food but our whole thing is, it has to be better than how we could make it at home and this definitely was not. Left disappointed and wouldn't recommend. read more

One of the better bars in the Surf City tourist areas. Drinks are fairly priced. The bar does close down earlier than others to my tastes. Their specialty drinks and musicians are great. It's definitely worth a bar hop. read more
