Archibald's Delicatessen & Rotisserie
$
2991 Holden Beach Rd. SW, Holden Beach
(910) 842-6888 |
We love Archibald's sandwiches and subs almost
as much as their homemade desserts, and most people we meet around Holden
Beach do too. The deli offers a modest menu of fine quality and value. Take
the Richie's Roaster for instance — rotisserie chicken breast with provolone
and garnish on a roll. Or Archie's B.L.E.S.T. — bacon, lettuce, egg salad
and tomato on fresh honey-wheat toast. Pork ribs are another rotisserie
specialty you'll want to try. You can design your own sandwich or sub or
choose from a selection of excellent fresh salad plates and homemade soups.
Sliced deli meats and cheeses, of a variety usually not seen outside the
largest supermarket deli counters, are available to go. Many varieties of
quiche are served, and fresh fruit pies are available in season. The
screened-in patio is pleasant during mild weather. Archibald's serves lunch
and, in high season, dinner in a comfortable, clean, casual shop, housed in
a curious round building. The staff can put together party platters
and complete dinners and cater your special occasion as well.

Sharky's Restaurant
$
61 Causeway Dr., Ocean Isle Beach
(910) 579-9177
|
"It's feedin' time!" is the slogan at Sharky's
Restaurant. Sharky's goal is to provide a family-oriented restaurant for
people who enjoy good food and a relaxed atmosphere. They do it so well that
in 2004, due to popular demand, they enlarged the seating area to
accommodate more than 150 people. The food at Sharky's is well-priced and
can be enjoyed on the enlarged screened deck (which is handicapped
accessible) overlooking the waterway where you can watch the passing boats
as you dine. There is plenty of parking or you can tie up your boat along
the 150 feet of Sharky's dock — take a break from your boating and enjoy a
good meal. Some customers fly into the airport, making Sharky's accessible
by land, sea and air. Thoroughly casual and fun for everyone, Sharky's
offers appetizers, salads, sandwiches, thin-crust pizza and dinner entrees
that include steaks, pasta, seafood and daily specials. Occasionally,
Sharky's hosts family-oriented holiday parties with music and plenty of
food. The restaurant provides catering, free local delivery and has all ABC
permits. It is open for lunch and dinner daily. For catering information
contact Ray or Tracy at the restaurant.

Sugar Shack
$$
1609 Hale Beach Rd., Ocean Isle Beach
(910) 579-3844
|
Don't miss this place. The house specialty is a
huge steak, marinated, slowly grilled and richly flavored. Sugar Shack
features authentic Jamaican home cooking (yes, the chef/owner is Jamaican)
in a colorful, intimate setting about a mile from the beach. Amid greenery,
tropical artwork and floral table coverings, recorded reggae music adds a
lively island feel, while live music is offered on weekends. Sugar Shack
specializes in its own recipe for jerk seasoning. The flavorful jerk
selections, served with a hot 'n' sweet sauce, anchor a small delightful
menu that also includes Stamp & Go (a traditional spicy cod fritter), Brown
Stewed Fish (slowly cooked red snapper) and a curried goat so tender it
literally falls off the bone. Oh, and don't forget to try the award-winning
baby back ribs. Nothing is too spicy for the average palate, but imported
hot sauce is available if you want to hurt yourself. Some appetizers are
enough for a meal, and the Jamaican Sampler is a good introduction. Other
offerings include a grilled mango tuna, spiced-just-right crab fritters,
homemade soups, great burgers and nightly specials, such as lightly fried
coconut shrimp served with mango-pepper marmalade. Then you just need to top
it all off with a luscious slice of homemade Key lime pie. Guinness and Red
Stripe beer are served. Take-out orders are welcome. Sugar Shack is one
block south of Ocean Isle Beach Road, a few yards off N.C. 179. (Ocean Isle
Beach Road intersects U.S. 17 about 3 miles east of Grissettown.) Sugar
Shack is open nightly for dinner in summer and Tuesday through Saturday
off-season. Live entertainment is featured on Saturday nights. Reservations
are strongly suggested.

Crabby Oddwaters Restaurant and Bar
$$
310 Sunset Blvd., Sunset Beach
(910) 579-6372 If the food
weren't so darn good, this upstairs restaurant would still be worth
a visit just to read the story of how it got its "damp and crawly
name" (a story told in one easy-to-remember sentence of barely more
than 400 words). This is a small, handsome restaurant with an
enclosed deck overlooking a creek and a beautiful stained-glass
mural of a beach scene beside the front door. The tables have holes
in the center where you can pitch your shucked shells, and, despite
the plastic utensils, the ambiance and cuisine are high quality.
Local seafood of all types is the focus, featuring a raw bar, some
very interesting appetizers (Ever have alligator lightly dusted in
Cajun spices?), wonderful nightly specials and tasty grilled foods,
including soft-shell crabs. Delicious soups, such as she-crab,
shrimp bisque and clam chowder, are available. A limited choice of
land food is offered. Entrees are served with fresh seasonal
vegetables, a choice of rice or the potato of the day and sweet hush
puppies. Full bar service is available, as are daily drink specials.
Crabby Oddwaters is above Bill's Seafood on the mainland side of the
pontoon bridge and is open for dinner nightly during the high
season. It's closed December 1 through February 1.

Twin Lakes Restaurant
$$
102 Sunset Blvd., Sunset Beach
(910) 579-6373
|
Many tables at Twin Lakes offer a panoramic view
of the region's most picturesque watercourse and drawbridge. The restaurant
stands rooted in the region's long-standing culinary tradition, having
family connections to the earliest seafood days of nearby Calabash. With its
tropical decor enhanced by palm trees outdoors, colorful table coverings and
local art within, Twin Lakes is an attractive family restaurant that stays
busy. The Twin Lakes featured menu, an astonishing 24 pages in length,
includes meat and seafood specials that change nightly. Seafood, beef,
vegetables and pasta make up the bulk of a tasty and affordable menu.
Entrees may be ordered fried, sauteed, grilled, broiled or blackened, and
the seafood is never long out of the water. Irresistible desserts are
available as well. It must be noted here that Chef Jonathon Yuricek was
awarded First Place in the 2007 Oyster Festival Oyster Stew Cook-off. Twin
Lakes is open nightly for dinner.
