We ate at the GulfStream for both a dinner and a breakfast with our small children. The food was fantastic. The seafood for dinner was excellent, and far less expensive than the other seafood restaurants that we tried. We loved the good, authentic southern cooking, and it was great to get some side veggies as well. (They were very nice... more

I never had seafood quite like theirs. It is great. The staff stay the same year after year, and they are like your friends. I crave their seafood. It is fresh from across the street, and it is cooked perfectly. I dont' know how they do it, but it is really good and very inexpensive. I shouldnt' say that, they... more

I agree with all the other reviews regarding the great food at the Gulfstream. The food is delicious - seafoods are their specialty at dinner time. Their hours are a bit confusing. They open and close at different times of the day for different meals. As you step in the door, the left side of the restaurant is no-smoking. The... more

Excellent in-house baker, who made home-style desserts. Very fresh vegetables in the salad, fresh local fish. The place looks and feels like a local favorite that has been there forever. Well maintained with dated wood panelling, vinyl furniture and commercial tile floor it has a non-nonsense but homey feel. Not at all like a chain or phony themed tourist restaurant.... more

Been going to the Gulf Stream Restaurant all my life. Cant beat the quality food at reasonable prices, the family and beach atmosphere, and the service. They have had almost the same staff as long as I can remember. My favorite meal there is the Cheeseburger and fries with a side of banana pudding. Fantastic American breakfasts and great fresh... more

Family owned and operated. One of a kind. Breakfast that cannot be forgotten. The Gulfstream Restaurant is truly not something to miss on your trip to Carolina Beach, NC. I have been going for several years now and have found that no restaurant has satisfied my appetite the way that the Gulfstream has. Their menu is as varied as the... more

This is my favorite restaurant. There is no comparison. I love eating here and always find the food delicious. They serve the best breakfast and the seafood is always fresh and reasonably priced. If you want a place that reflects the local culture and always feels like you are "at home" then the Gulfstream it is. The owners and their... more

This restaurant is not a regular restaurant, it's like a gathering place!! Everybody knows everybody, and if you don't, you will before you leave there. The food is great.There are only two cooks, and they are there whenever the doors are unlocked. They are Greek and can cook Greek food, American, Italian, Seafood, whatever you want. And I learned all... more
