Colonial Beach, North Carolina ---…read more The "Last Resort" bar is a true neighborhood/local's classic bar.

All relaxation and good times only. The decor is great and will have you constantly finding new things to look at. It's for sure overstimulating in a good way. Comfortable seating outside where you have protection from the sun and cute lighting at night. You walk in and then go to a walk in cooler that has all the drink options. There's non alcoholic, beers galore, THC drinks (must be a big thing in NC), ciders, and some other canned concoctions. You grab what you want and head to the register. If you are staying and grab more than one, they have to hold it for you as your second round. You can only have one open drink per person. There is a $10 minimum on purchases. Once your drink is secured, you then find a spot to perch. There's indoor and outdoor options. It was rainy when we went and we were able to find a spot that was covered. This is a super chill place. Worth coming with a group or alone. You will be chilled! They do have bathrooms, merch, and some machines to play. Super nice employees too!!!

Originally…read morewas going to go to another place next to this, but our driver said this is the better place. He wasn't lying. Super chill vibes and there are lots of locals. Super casual. You seat yourself. There's a bar, booths, and high tops. Regardless of where you sit, you will be greeted by some terrific people. Service is amazing. So incredibly welcoming and friendly. It's like they have known you forever. They constantly check in to make sure all is good. We ordered a skinny marg (delicious and no marg mix - fresh squeezed juice), a cucumber/jalapeño tequila w/club, and a screwdriver that was in special. Check the specials as they have lots going on. Drinks were terrific. Ordered the wings and onion rings (wings and rings - not in menu but should be - just made it up as typing). Onion rings were good. Just basic frozen ones. But these wings - yes!!! You can tell why they won awards. Absolutely delicious. We ordered 12 and were able to get two sauce flavors. We got the garlic buffalo (get this) and the hot honey mustard (get these too). Seriously, delicious. Don't skip this place! It's pretty wonderful.

The restaurant was very clean, the food came out hot, and the drinks were nice and cold. I had the boneless tenders with the Texas Pete honey drizzle, and they were excellent.

Loved the laid-back beach vibe and family-friendly atmosphere. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by!

Sometimes you just need a dang good burger…read more Stopped in at Paul's in Oak Island and went with the single Black & Blu smash burger, topped with pickles, lettuce and tomato, served on sourdough with a pile of fries. Add a cold local beer to the equation and, well... that's a pretty solid way to spend lunch after fishing the morning. The burger had that crispy, caramelized smash-burger edge you're looking for, while the sourdough was toasted up nicely and gave the whole thing a little something extra. The pickles and fresh veggies brought the right amount of crunch and acidity to balance everything out. Asked for some hot sauce and they brought me some scotch bonnet, hot sauce in a plastic cup. It was good but a little dab will do ya! And those fries? Golden, crispy and seasoned just right. No sad little handful of fries hiding in the corner of the plate here. Nothing overly complicated. Just good food, generous portions and a laid-back Oak Island vibe. Sometimes the best meal isn't the fanciest one on the menu. It's a great burger, a basket of crispy fries, and a local cold beer sitting in front of you. The tuna can have the spotlight one day. The burger gets it the next.

I have been visiting Oak Island/Southport for many years, so I'm always excited when someone…read morerecommends a restaurant I haven't yet experienced. My friends told me they had a wonderful experience at Fizzy Jane's so my husband and I decided to check it out for a date night during our annual family beach trip. I'll be honest the exterior is not much to look out. While located right by docks and boats, the building itself looks pretty residential and is lacking signage. However, what a transformation once you walk inside. Lots of fun wall paper, neon signs, greenery, painted murals, and more to give trendy Instagram photo worthy vibes. It is a large place with lots of seating, including a separate private room for a larger party gathering. Lots of great cocktails to choose from. My husband got a paper plane (one of his favorites) and I tried the strawberry basil sour. They did not skimp on the alcohol as it was quite strong. I very much enjoyed the boozy fruit at the end. The menu is on the smaller side with only 5-6 options for appetizers and entrees, but they also do a handful of weekly specials. While a smaller list, honestly all of the appetizers and entrees listed sounded delicious. After much discussion, we settled on getting two appetizers, a salad, and one entree to share. The waitress happily said she would space the items out for us and decide which order was best for a progressive meal, I appreciated that! Overall she provided fantastic service all night. The Crispy Tuna (raw poke tuna over crispy rice with kimchi aioli, sesame seeds, jalapeños, and green onion) was a must order according to our friends who recommended the place. They did not steer us wrong! It was a great bite, the crunch from the rice, the soft fresh tuna, little heat from the jalapeños, creaminess from the aioli, and I added a little soy sauce on top for some salt. Yum! I was glad it came 4 to an order so I got to have two! Next to arrive was the Wedge Salad (iceberg, bacon, tomato, crispy onion, blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese salad dressing). Nothing unique here as it was the traditional preparation. You did get a lot of crispy onions which I liked for texture. They also did not skimp on the crumbles. You can add protein to their salads if you want for extra. In my opinion, the salad was overdressed, so a little bit of the crunch from the lettuce was lost. Honestly this is probably my only small gripe of anything I was served at this meal. My favorite dish of the night was the Duck Wings (fried wings with sweet and spicy gochujang sauce). You get 7 wings, all drums, to an order. The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat still tender. The gochujang sauce was divine. Perfect sweet and spicy balance. You will be licking your fingers as you want to enjoy every drop. We found ourselves eating the shredded lettuce/cabbage underneath the wings as why not it was dressed in the sauce. Duck is very similar in taste to chicken. If you like wings, you must order these! Final item of the night was our entree selection- the Shrimp & Grits (grilled shrimp and fish over grits topped with gravy, green onions, and hot sauce served with toasts). The catch of the day was red drum which is a nice white flaky fish. It went great in this dish. The shrimp were a nice size and the seasoning on the proteins was lovely. The grits were super creamy due to the gravy. I liked the extra kick of the hot sauce on top. The toast was buttery and crispy so the perfect vessel to sop up the grits. It's a heavier but satisfying dish, so I'm glad we split it. This amazing meal left us with no room for dessert. I am not gonna lie I went to bed early and slept hard that night as the food was that good. If you are coming to Southport, venture off the main drag a little and come to Fizzy Jane's. I will be back. They also do brunch, which I am excited to try as well next time I visit the island!
