''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.

''We have been to Holden Beach three times and have always eaten a couple meals at the Seafood Barn. It's great! Last night, my wife and I had the Coconut Shrimp and both kids had the fish. The portions are always large and the food is delicious. The hushpuppies are brought to your table before you order and they are wonderful. We will definitely eat at the Seafood Barn a few more times this week....''

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

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

''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...''

''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....''

''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....''

''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...''

''This place stays busy, even in the off-season! Sean (bartender) is excellent, and the food (once you get a table) is even moreso! The bar is always busy with lots of locals chatting, and leads itself to mingling between locals and tourists.

The husband/wife team that run this place have certainly taken things ''up a notch''. If you don't see it on the menu, try asking -- I rarely eat anything off the menu, and have never once been dissapointed in the 20+ visits over the years....''

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

''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....''

''We go there about once every two weeks when we are snowbirding in Sunset Beach. Not a Seafood Place
but a full menu for all tastes. My wife enjoys the salads and I like the Hurricane Chicken and the prime Rib. Bar section a little noisy during peak hours when you are seated there to eat
but overall a good dining experience....''
