One of our favorite places consistently good food we had a large group of family that had come down almost 20 some more people that we cook for dinner and we did not have one complaint. Thank you.
It was our first time in Oak Island and we were already impressed with the views. My husband found this pier restaurant and was sold from the photos online. Hopefully, as always, we went in the cute pier restaurant and looked at the menu. Everything sounded great. We ordered two jalapeño margaritas, a pretzel, coconut shrimp, loaded nachos, and fish tacos... it WAS ALL AMAZING! Our waitress, Liza, was so attentive and friendly. She even brought out a little cup of fruits for our toddler while we waited. She really made our experience there that much better. Will definitely be coming back here and asking for her again too. 10/10!
My favorite restaurant on OKI! I always get the island bowl with shrimp and sub the sesame ginger glaze for firecracker sauce. This dish is so unique and fresh and a very large portion size! While I get the same thing every time my husband likes to try out their seasonal specials and they have always been delicious as well. The restaurant itself couldn't be in a more perfect location right on the ocean with beautiful views. 10/10 recommend eating here!
Great location, food, and service! My friends and I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and we were immediately seated. The restaurant has a very paradise chill type of vibe to it. Staff was friendly and exuded southern hospitality! I ordered the coconut shrimp tacos and it did NOT dissapoint. The shrimp was extremely flavorful and they put it in a flour shell taco. The taco dish comes with two tacos, chips, and salsa. It was delicious! They also have corn tortillas available for gluten free customers. The restaurant is in a great location near the pier, where you can explore afterwards. I would come back!
The food, the service, the beach atmosphere, everything was great. The wait was 30-45min but actually was much less. The cool thing is they will text you when your table is ready so you can walk around while you wait.
