Relaxed beachy atmosphere. Good menu options. Jambalaya was a bit bland for my taste. Shrimp and grits were very good and the fish and chips were our favorite.

Simply delicious! It was our first time trying this restaurant and we were served by Julia B, who was friendly, informative and efficient. I got the Shrimp Risotto lunch special and it was divine! It had fresh, juicy and well flavored shrimp over a bed of creamy, garlicky risotto with tomatoes. My husband got the Ahi Tuna sandwich with roasted potatoes and he really enjoyed it. This will be our new favorite spot!

If you want good seafood at a place where you can sit down and enjoy ( which is getting harder to find in our area), this is the place for you. We were a group of ten, and they accommodated us beautifully. We all tried something different.And everyone was fantastic.

Visited for first time for a girls lunch. Our server, Valerie, was very pleasant, helpful in making selections and very concerned with gracious service. We ordered crab dip, crab bisque, shrimp+grits, scallops and blackened mahi. All food was served fresh and hot. Exquisite flavors and seasonings. We will return.

Just like its other locations, this spot is really shaping up to be a local favorite.

From perfectly seasoned shrimp and scallops to their crave-worthy fish entrees, it’s clear they take pride in quality. The atmosphere is welcoming, the service is attentive, and the flavors are top-notch. This is truly the best seafood in the area. Always delicious, always satisfying.
Highly recommended for a casual night out or a special seafood dinner. Cape Fear never misses!

We met friends for lunch. Familiar with this restaurant due to the original one being in Wilmington. We enjoyed the delightful drink specials, which was the hibiscus Margarita! So delicious! Our server, Jordan was wonderful. She checked on us numerous times. Provided suggestions. And we appreciated her attention. The location is very close to family.

Tried the new Cape Fear Seafood for an early dinner. We really enjoyed the Caesar salad, roasted red pepper and crab bisque, and jambalaya. We also tried the crab cake sliders which weren’t our favorites, I think we just prefer a different style. Plenty of other items on the wide menu to try instead.

The food was fresh and tasty. We had some inconsistencies on plates, however. One order of fish tacos had large portions of fish, while another had barely enough to fill the tortillas. We also got burned waffles. The manager spoke to us about it, which was appropriate, but they should have never left the kitchen, let alone been actually served. I would give them another chance. There aren’t many seafood places in the area that are good, and have gluten and dairy free options.
