Our entire party of eight really enjoyed our meal. We each ordered something different and none of us were disappointed. I had the coconut shrimp salad ... and I think the shrimp may have been the best I've ever eaten. The service was excellent, and the dining atmosphere was really nice. I highly recommend at least one meal here if you're visiting Ocean Isle Beach. I promise ... you won't be disappointed.

Good atmosphere & service.. food was good not great - I would go back I would not order sushi again that was not impressive with the look of the roll nor taste.... Since they are only 1 of 3 restaurants open on this island & the amount of $ the patrons have at this place it would be so nice for this place to care enough to have great food just needs a little more give a care on there food taste for a 5star review ✌️

this is a really great seafood restaurant. the staff was very helpful and super friendly. would go back again. they have a kids menu, but its not in the actual menu. you just have to ask about it. the outside bar seating area has really great views as well.

As always, their food, drinks and atmosphere make it an inviting place to go. We had the blackened chicken sandwich, which was juicy and tender. Hurricane shrimp had just enough bite. Watermelon martini and the Boujee drink were delicious.

Great fishing charter and restaurant.We booked a 12 hour Gulf Stream trip. Unfortunately, due to a last minute change in the weather, we couldn’t make it happen. Nevertheless, Drake and Jay did what they could to make it an awesome experience on a shorter trip. They worked really hard to get us on fish and made sure we were satisfied.Highly recommend booking with these guys if you’re looking for an offshore charter in the area!

Stopped in and got ice cream. The whole place is clean and tidy, including bathrooms. Cute gift items. The main attraction is the ice cream shop tho. The ice cream is great but the EMPLOYEES. Y'all. It's Friday night in July, right after the free concert, 104°. The people are packed in like sardines ...and these two sweet young ladies are slinging ice cream and shakes into cups and cones with a smile on their face. I think we were 9 ppl back to start with, had our order and was out the door in under 10 minutes. I am incredibly impressed! Great place.

We really enjoyed our trip. These guy's will try their best to give you a great experience. We booked our trip as we were vacationing the whole week at Ocean Isle Beach. The day of our trip these guys were honest and said the weather is rough and its tough fishing conditions. It was my choice I could reschedule my trip till Wednesday or go on the trip. I appreciate their honesty. We rescheduled to Wednesday and had a great time, caught fish and had a blast. Great honest professional service provided.

Great rates on their boat rentals! Especially on the "off-season", got a half day with fuel for under 175 in a decently powered, comfortable center console. The kids running the docks were very freindly and knowledgeable, as was the young lady at the reservation/check-in desk. This was the best anniversary we've had in quite awhile thanks to Ocean Isle Fishing Center. Awesome views from the little bar-n-grille up top as well, with great customer service throughout. Even the guys helping out around the building were very courteous. A+ establishment

I went on a charter with 3 friends a few weeks ago and, despite the captain trying a number of different spots and baits, we did not get a single bite. I totally understand nothing is guaranteed, and he did point out a bald eagle and tell us more about the area which we appreciated. My issue is that I think we should have been warned that the fish hadn't been biting in the area so we could make a decision to risk going or skip it for this trip. The captain mentioned that the previous weekend there was a trout tournament with 9 boats and only 3 trout were caught. If professionals aren't catching anything then taking our money to go out without letting us know the likelihood of catching was very low just feels wrong.

Went here with our family & friends to Jet ski. First, most of the staff were not very welcoming and looked like they hated working there. When we met the manger (or owner) we figured out why. He was very rude to us and his staff. 2nd, other skis came back late, so we left late as well and they forced us to come back early for the next group without giving us some of our money back. When asked about the service we were told that the $1000 the group spent wasn’t going to make or break them and that’s just how they run their business. Do yourself a favor and find another spot for boating/jet skiing activity.

i am giving this restaurant one star because the food was good but i left a pair of nice $70 sunglasses there after my dinner so i called back and described them and asked if they had them and they claimed they did. therefore, i went back and they said to come back later. i went back multiple times and they kept giving me different responses and weren’t helpful. the manager and hostesses seemed like they couldn’t give a damn. now i am leaving in the morning and still haven’t gotten them back don’t think i ever will. this is very frustrating.

Great service at the gas dock and very helpful staff. Kids helping you dock, moving boats to accommodate lots of traffic and all with a smile, great clothing/tackle store very well stocked and restaurant is 5X from 2 years ago with new folks running it! food is very good. New Tiki bar is superb!

Amazingly friendly and helpful staff!! From the watersports staff to the helpers on the dock to the lovely ladies in the store -- they truly enjoy their jobs and are happy to help! The store has an awesome selection of gifts, including cute t-shirts and a great variety of Lily and Laura bracelets! Love coming here every year!!

Being a business owner, it is so hard to give a one. But First time in was June, 3 ladies at counter talking amongst themselves never talked to us, asked about a piece of jewelry, acted like we were an inconvenience, Tried to go again on this trip to OIB, We were in there 20 minutes and NEVER spoken to or acknowledged, In retail you have to feel as though you want us as a customer. Will not be back. *if this is connected to the boat rental, we did that in the summer and ** that was a 5 star amazing time , this is retail store specific

This guy will host king tournaments and enter/win using intel from his charter crew to find bigger class of fish. He also has his brother and other family/friends entering the same tournaments under different team names. The king fish cup is not in your favor and brant is a crook. Spend your money at rigged and ready/ king mackerel tackle/ or Dave’s outpost.. it will support a honest local business and not a con artist.

Awesome trip with Captain Zack and Tye! Took the 4 hour tour with my almost 10 yr old. He’s “hooked” and is ready for a longer trip now. Will definitely try to “hook up” with Zack and Tye again! Great experience. Great guys, great fellowship, and great fishin!

We rented the perfect size boat for my husband and myself for four hours and had a BLAST! Derrick was so kind and helpful when we called early on Sunday morning to rent a boat that day at noon. We arrived at 12 on the dot and Derrick was already pulling the boat around for us; we signed a few papers, gave some money and were on our way. Everything was explained perfectly and in a timely manner, he didn't make us feel like we were asking dumb question, and even gave us a map with lunch recommendations.We will absolutely be renting a boat again from OIFC every year from here on out but will plan better and do the entire day!

Great food and service, would like them to have a stocked bar. They can make basic drinks, but lack the ingredients of mixed drinks.

The location has a stunning view of the water and a fun view of the Causeway. The atmosphere is excellently seaside without being "overboard". There are many facets to this location that many needs. My primary goal was a dinner and it was certainly a tasty meal. It is popular with limited seating. Therefore, coming at early bird dinner or off times is certainly recommended. The server, Olivia, was polite. However, there was a mix up on my daughter's meal, assuming it was an appetizer, and being underage, she was unable to really give alcoholic beverage reco.me rations. I had the seafood alfredo with penne pasta. It was a perfect blend of hearty pieces of scallops, shrimp without tails, mussels, a d mushrooms that made me forget that it was a penne. This is great, as that is not my favorite pastaA. We also had coconut shrimp that was so tasty it required a second order, oldman 's burger, and infused fish tacos that had the fish taste without overpowering the other flavors. The Banana Hammock drink was not as light on the alcohol, yet delicious. I wonder what it would have been like with the rocks verses the ble derived. This location also has an amazing gift shop that suits snacking, fishing, tackle, toys, clothing, jewelry, games, and beverage needs for out on the sea. It also offers ziplining tours, which I did not investigate. I will certainly be returning to this livation!
