Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

The Best!

We have been coming to Waves for years and the Top Dog is always our favorite place to eat. The food is so fresh and wonderfully prepared and it is such a great value. You can't find food this good anywhere on the island for such a great price. They have unique menu items and the atmosphere is so nice and relaxed. Great service too! I reccomend the fish tacos and the island slaw. But bring your appetite because the tacos are huge!

Vacation Rememberance
By Guest on 4/9/2008
I went there one summer when I was camping in the state from PA. I ordered the one and a half pound tsunami burger and won a trophy for it. I loved the burger and hope to go back there one day. Maybe this summer of 08.

After searching for something new for this year's vacation, I felt obligated to give a thumbs up to Top Dog. Last year on our first trip to Hatteras, we stopped here for a few beers and lunch and all 6 of us enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent and it was a great start to an excellent vacation. See you in July!

Eight of us went for lunch one day, and loved it. We ordered mostly burgers, but I had the fish sandwich. Wonderful! Wonderful fries. They need to add vinegar to their condiment bucket though.

We had good service, friendly staff, and good food. We will be going back again. The only complaint was that fries, slaw, etc were extra's to be added to the bill.

The Best One
By Oh yeah on 6/15/2007
I am not from the US so I am used to a different kind of food, but this place just make you feel like your mama is cooking no matter where you are from. Just check out the bunch of people lined up on the porch sometimes, waiting to get a bite! If you want really good food with a real taste, do not hesitate to go there!

The best on the Island
By a Guest Reviewer
Perfect Island place with great food, great prices and a great friendly staff. The owner, Joe, strives to make the experience and food something you will always remember. Every time I am on the Island, I stop.
