Food looks great,but for the cost , I expected high quality and knockout flavor. The food was bland or really flat and wasn’t worth the price which was really high $138 for 2 people. It a really nice looking restaurant though. It is what it is!

We stopped in and had the shrimp/scallop pasta special and the pork chop special. The shrimp was great, cooked just right. The scallops melted in your mouth. The pork chop was probably the best one I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The bread was okay but we didn’t go for the bread. The waiter was great, did a fine job. Not too much but kept an eye on us. I would recommend Jinks and we will go back on our next visit to Ocean Isle.

This is one of the best restaurant my boyfriend and I have visited in a long while! All of the food was absolutely stellar! I had the surf and turf and my boyfriend had the chicken marsala for his entree. Both of our plates were cleared by the end of the dinner. We also had oysters and egg rolls for our small plates. Thanks to our server Frank and the chef who even came out to introduce himself our experience was amazing!

Beach vacation NC. We made reservations. Parking at this location parking is VERY limited. Cocktail list small. Jinks juice was good. Didn’t have appetizers. Order pork chop chicken sandwich pasta steak salads. All were very good. Staff was efficient and friendly. Place not too big. Very noisy when full. Definitely a place to go though.

Jinks Creek Waterfront Grille is a standout—upscale and classy, with one of the best views in Ocean Isle Beach right over the ICW. If it’s polished waterfront dining you’re after, this is the spot.

Inside seating is comfortable and elegant, and during the busy season you’ll want a reservation—not just for the food, but for that picture-perfect backdrop. It’s the kind of place you go for anniversaries, birthdays, or just because your week at OIB has been awesome.

We got to play up in the cozy tiki‑bar corner, and at times the folks there treated us like we were on a big stage—singing, dancing, full energy. Felt great to bring live American music in there around Independence Week 2025 and connect with the crowd.

Ranked #1 dining in town for a reason: fresh seafood, smart American fare, cocktails and wine, great sunset seating. It blends a bit of upscale flair with a relaxed, welcoming feel. Huge shoutout to Mimi for the stellar service and great recommendation for us to connect and go play there!

Do yourself a favor—grab a reservation, pack your camera, enjoy the sunset with someone you dig (or your crew), and soak in that waterfront magic. We’ll be going back next time we’re in town.

Wow! Must do when visiting OIB. Everything was delicious! I’d have to say the pork chop was the most impressive, even though it goes against my belief when eating by the sea. I had the grouper and shrimp special, which was also very good and everyone was beyond pleased with their meal. Make sure you go just before sunset, and make a reservation.

We were fortunate enough to be seated in the bar, per the recommendation of the hostess, Raegan.
Adam, the bartender, mixed a wonderful Cherrywine Old Fashion! We met the Chef, Don, and were able to sample a delicious, rich and hearty Clam Chowder. We also enjoy an appetizer of Baja Shrimp Tacos, followed by Jewels of the Sea, Oh My!
Our server, Mimi, gave us hospitality beyond expectation!
Wish we lived closer and could come here weekly!
Don’t miss this opportunity.

We had the best time at this rooftop experience! Bridget and Adam did such a great job serving us, and the food was absolutely wonderful! The grouper fricassee, and the Jewel of the sea was so tasty! Great food, wonderful drinks, and an amazing view! We are so thankful for the great service we experienced. We also met some new friends as we sat at the bar! We will definitely be back and suggest it to anyone coming to the area!
