"Our group ordered the shrimp and grits, California burger, one seafood platter with flounder and oyster and the second with flounder and shrimp. Thankfully the flounder and shrimp comes broiled or fried but the oysters only come fried. You can?t mix the two ways of preparation. So any oyster combination must be fried. The place was quite busy. It was going to be a 45 min wait so we went to the bar. It seemed that it still took that long to get our food. The wait staff did their best to get to each table. Our waitress noticed that only 3 of our dinners had been served and asked if the 4th dinner had been mentioned as if were it not already promised to arrive soon, she was going into the kitchen to raise hell. The food was perfectly cooked and with lots of butter taste. I thought, based on the size of the menu, they had a good variety, even a vegan burger."

"Hidden gem in North Topsail. A little hard to find but worth the adventure. It's inside of a beach resort but it's open to the public. It's located right on the water with a beautiful view from the back deck. We walked in and were instantly greeted warmly by the owner. She walked us to our table and seemed genuinely friendly and interested in our conversation. Her brother in law is the chef and he is prior coast guard. She's explained to us that's why the portion sizes are so large. We ordered the ahi tuna nachos as an appetizer. The tuna was perfectly prepared and the ingredients were very fresh. Again the portion size was HUGE. We shared our entree because we were already pretty full from the Nachos. We ordered the fish of the day which was a perfectly cooked Red Snapper. 10 10 recommend and we will definitely Italy be back."

"On our fifth night, we experienced their lively karaoke event, where we sang songs from the 1940s to modern hits, even throwing in some Christmas tunes. Rumor has it that this is the go-to spot on Thursday nights at Topsail Island, and I can see why! Of all the bars we visited that night, the Tiki Bar was by far the standout – easily 1000% better than the others. In the summer, the Tiki Bar transforms into an indoor/outdoor space, complete with a sandy beach volleyball court. However, if you're visiting during the cooler months, I recommend bringing a jacket, as it can get a bit chilly inside. Don’t miss out on their delicious rum cocktails, especially the Pirate Grog, which is perfect for warming up. A big shoutout to the amazing staff for making our visit so unforgettable. If I ever find myself back in the area, you can bet I’ll be returning to the Tiki Bar!"
