Restaurants In Carolina Beach

As you would expect on islands surrounded by water, wonderful seafood dominates the menus of many of the local restaurants. Here are some eateries to try.

In Carolina Beach, check out Michael’s Seafood Restaurant, popular with the locals; Seaside Grille at the Courtyard by Marriott overlooking their beautiful pool and the ocean; the Deck House, a seafood restaurant in an old church with a multitude of daily specials; and the Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar, overlooking the ocean with a bar out on what’s left of a pier following a hurricane.

On the east side of the Boardwalk, just across the dune from the ocean, is Olde Saltys, an old saloon and restaurant serving surprisingly good seafood.  If you’re hungry, Carolina Beach has the food.

Kure Beach Restaurants

Kure Beach has its share of good restaurants too. In Kure Beach there’s the venerable Big Daddy’s, a fried, broiled and grilled seafood emporium, Freddie’s Oceanside Grill, an Italian restaurant with emphasis on seafood, Jack Mackerel’s Island Grill featuring seafood with a Caribbean emphasis, and the Old Pier House Restaurant serving reasonably priced seafood just a stone’s throw from the ocean.  All four are within a block of each other.
