The little bar was packed with basically no seats available which made it quite difficult to get service or to order anything. Bartenders rarely look up to scan the bar or make eye contact with any of the guests. My husband got a glass of wine, which was good. I got the frozen strawberry daiquiri, which was tasty but I'm pretty sure there was no alcohol in it. And if there was, it was barely anything. Meh experience. Ambiance was fine as they had a fire pit which was great to sit around as the temperature cooled down.

"Delightful seafood, entertainment, and more in Carolina Beach"…read more Stopped by here on a holiday Saturday night at just after 6pm, party of 2. Amazingly, we were able to get a table right away. The place is mostly "open air" with two covered areas and a few spots in the sun. A few folks had dogs there, too. They also have little spinny things on the table to keep flies away (apparently called "fly fans"). Note, enter on the beach-side, not the other side, to meet the host. There's also a stage inside for entertainment (which started later than we were there, but the band was setting up). We ordered the ahi tuna nachos, and I got a crabcake sandwich. My partner got black pearl salad. Food came out in under 20 minutes, which was impressive given the place was HOPPING. The ahi tuna nachos were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. They had bits of mango, a delicious sauce, really good nachos (made from wonton wrappers), and the tuna was amazing (served rare). It was about $20, but a very large helping. This would make a great meal for one person eating that alone. The crabcake was fine-- nothing unusual but tasty. I may not order that again, but it was good. My dining partner said the black pearl salad was really good and liked the blackberries, feta, and walnuts in it as well as the vinaigrette. Our drinks got refilled, and plates were taken away quickly when we finished any part of the meal. Our server was really nice, too. Overall, I would happily go back, and DEFINITELY want that ahi tuna nachos dish again. I recommend-- very good.

Good selection of beers and I'm pretty sure they had liquors. We're staying nearer by next time to take advantage of this great spot. She Said: We don't stay at this end of the island very often, but we'll need to remedy that going forward because Tiki Bar is a Topsail treasure. Now that I've found it, it'll be impossible to stay away when we visit family here! Potty Points: 3/5 - functional and clean for what it is. You're not here for luxury potties.

Can I just say we found a diamond in the rough? The place was the OUTSIDE tiki bar on the pier…read more Awesome food & drinks! I am kinda wondering from previous reviews I read what happened? Completely blew us away and surprised us! The food was spectacular! I had a Mahi fish taco that came in 3. Best fish tacos I've ever had to date and in the Carolina beach area. The shrimp nachos were spectacular as well with small chunks of pineapple, good melted cheese, etc and a nice mix of purple nacho chips. My Bahama Mama drink was fabulous and our Pinã Colada was homemade -not from a mix. It was served with a small dollop of coconut cream on top and a delicate dash of nutmeg. Perfect! This little tiki bar was the best meal and highlight of our trip! Who'd have guessed?! Go there!!!

Although, their pier was closed, but didn't ruin our time. 10/10 highly recommend!

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 crab cake was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The crab dip was also very good. Unfortunately, the sweet tea tasted old, the corn wasn't fully cooked (though it had good flavor), and the mashed potatoes were so bland that I couldn't eat them. The biggest bright spot was the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and our server, Paige, was especially attentive, pleasant, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. Her hospitality made the experience much better than the food alone would have. This version is candid without sounding harsh, and it gives meaningful credit to the staff, especially Paige.
