''Too pricey for the quality--not as service/customer oriented as they claim. Ocean view was nice, but you need reservations for that....''

''Jones' has been on Oak Island for as long as I can remember. They have very good seafood (loved the hush puppies with cinnamon butter when I was there in 2004, btw) and the service is friendly....''

''I loved the feel of this family owned restaurant! Everyone was very friendly and the service was top notch. The view looks out on a dock with fishing boats, just to add to the wonderful experience. The food was also excellent. There were a variety of options and although lots of the food is fried, you can order it broiled as well at no extra charge. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a laid back and delicious place to eat!...''

''We ate here I think our third night in town. My husband had the most delious mackerel with a yummy sauce on it. I had the steamed seadfood platter which was the special. My daughter had crablegs and son had kids' shrimp. We can't wait to come back next year ! A place you definitely want to go on the beach!...''

''Waited nearly an hour at the bar for a table. The hostess was brain dead. Never will get to try the food. We went to another place and had a great meal. Management needs a lesson on social skills....''

''I found the handwritten menu to be the real star of this restaurant. It features fresh seafood, prepared in a variety of ''uptown'' ways. I had a wonderful fresh piece of Tuna, seared with fresh cracked peppercorns and skillfully dressed with a red wine reduction sauce. Superlative. My husband had the Jumbo Shrimp with Spinach Pasta, tossed in a freshly made Pesto sauce. The flavor was simply amazing. We got the ''smaller'' portions, offered at $14.95, but the portions were still plentiful...''

''I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. IT IS MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT IN N.C....''

''My husband and I grew up in SE NC. Last year we were in Myrtle Beach and looked for Beck's where we had eaten more than 15 years before. We were so pleased that it was still there. We looked at each other and grinned when we opened the menu. Time warp. Same great, fresh, crispy seafood, same great prices! I got the lunch special - fish and shrimp, which was about $6.00. It was as much as I could eat and it was the BEST FRIED SEAFOOD I HAD EATEN ANYWHERE SINCE. We ate at Beck's twice that w...''

''Nothing fancy, just great fresh seafood. Generous portions at affordable prices. Will definitely visit again....''

''Provisions is a must for any visit to Holden Beach! The food & service is outstanding. We were lucky enough to get a window table right on the intercoastal waterway. What a view! Our friend was disappointed when they ran out of clams but was happy with his alternate order. What a surprise when the clams were delivered during dinner and he was treated to free clams. One of the employees remembered and brought them to him....''

''This is the best for high end gourmet and 5 star dining. This is a MUST if you are in Southport!...''

''This is the first thing we ordered and they were great. My Ahi Tuna salad was also fresh and tasty. Trish, the waitress was very attentive to our needs. Meet one of the owners, very friendly Can't wait to go back....''

''If you live on Caswell Beach, have a beach house on Caswell Beach, or have rented a house on Caswell Beach, you will find Duffer's Pub most convenient for the occasional burger, quesadilla, or just a glass of wine. The food is okay - fine, not great. But hey, it's so handy....''

''I ventured in off the street while in the area briefly looking a real estate and was delighted to have selected this wonderful restaurant. The crab cake fresh spring garden salad was wonderful. The creme brelee served with an exotic orchid was delicious and the tea was freshly brewed....''

''Slightly upscale dinning with many offerings including seafood, Italian and LARGE special pizzas. After you earned your tan and good food is first on the list, this is a great place to sit and finish off the day. No reservations and usually busy during the season... Nice bar for about 15 people. Large tables’ available. Food is very good and the menu specials change often… BANG, BANG Shrimp is awesome....''

''we made our annual myrtle beach trip with 12 guys over labor day weekend. Four of us stumbled upon the sugar shack on Friday night. We had some great appetizers the crap friiters were especially tasty with the lime flavored dipping sauce. For dinner we all had the ribs which buy all accounts were the best ribs we have ever had, the side of fries and cole slaw were also unbelievable. We had such a good meal we brought the rest of our group back the following night, and all 12 of us ordered th...''
