Hands down one of the best spots in Atlantic Beach! The atmosphere is unique and fun—love the ‘swampy’ decor and the view of the sound. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the Buzz Buzz Shrimp (a must-have!) and the crab cakes, which were fresh and full of flavor. For dinner, the seafood options were perfectly cooked, but even the meatloaf surprised us with how good it was.
The highlight of the night, though, was definitely the tableside s’mores for dessert. It’s such a fun experience! Be prepared for a wait if you get there during peak hours, but it is 100% worth it. Great service, great vibe, and amazing food.

Went at opening during off-season and were seated right away. Service was excellent and food was outstanding. The Scalloped Scallops casserole was delicious, as was the shrimp appetizer and crab cakes.
The Chocolate Creme Brulee was out of this world and took me back to my mother’s scratch made chocolate pudding.
So glad we went. It did not disappoint.

Five stars all the way around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we love the shrimp and grits, but no matter what we order it never lets us down. The service is always great and the longer wait times are well worth it! Grab a drink at the bar while you wait, you won’t be disappointed at all.

This was a good restaurant I would go there again. I had the scallops. I’ve noticed a lot of places now mixing proper scallops with Bay scallops so you get about three good ones equating to 10 bucks apiece, not a fan of this practice. The bread bucket was great. The butter was amazing. my dining companion enjoyed the tuna, which was very fresh. Nice atmospheric restaurant. Food came out fast. staff were good maybe a tad overkill for us checking every few minutes kind of interrupted our conversation 10 . It closed early for Saturday. I think they were done by 9 PM but then it was a torrential rainstorm.

We visited on a cold mid-week day in February, so there was no wait for a table! Plus it was Locals Night so entrees were discounted. This is a very popular spot and deservedly so. We lucked out and got a window table, sound-side. All their beers on tap were NC craft brews. Highly recommended!

Atmosphere was very coastal hang out. Pumpkin ( our server) was a super attentive server and was patient with my chatty parents! Everyone at my table loved the food options and more than likely, request to come back if we visit Atlantic Beach again.

After reading so many positive reviews, we decided that the 30 minute trek from Emerald Isle was worth the gamble and standing in line in the heat (yes, the line begins forming well in advance of the 4:45 pm opening).
The doors opened promptly and the line moved quickly. We chose to sit in the lounge area which was delightfully cool after our time outside. We loved the unique mosquito themed decor that had natural elements throughout.
Sunshine was our waitress and she definitely is well named. She gave us solid recommendations; our food was delivered so quickly and did not disappoint. Grilled scallops were melt in your mouth tender! The fried shrimp was the best I have ever eaten. The cole slaw was a nice surprise as well; it was greatly superior to many seafood restaurants. We ended, despite full bellies and plates that hadn’t been finished, with the chocolate creme brûlée. OMG!!! Pure heaven!
We will definitely return on our next trip to EI. Plan ahead and make sure to visit this restaurant.

It’s amazing! Sunshine is the PERFECT waitress! Beware—they are really crowded around 5 and have a super long line that takes up about half the parking lot. But, they are friendly to large parties! I wish these were everywhere. The restaurant is also very comedic which I’m all in for. But the food. The food… Fries were soggy and nasty. Flounder was super flavorless and dry. Graham Crackers were flavorless and just straight up bad.

I always pass through Amos and I decide to stop by and give this place a try! So glad that i did. The inside decor is really nice. It gives me a cozy vibe right when i walk through the door. They were really busy for a monday early eveving. We waited for about 10 mins and got seated after that. Our server, Peaches did a good job on making sure we had everything we need. The foods are amazing! Huge portion and well-seasoned. The cocktails were refreshing after a hot sunny day. Can’t wait to come back
