Come and be part of the show as fishing boats arrive to the dock daily offloading their catch and watch as the freshest fish on the coast moves from boat to kitchen to your plate. A flip-flop atmosphere with the highest quality local seafood sets us above the rest. Don't miss out on the incredible views from our Gmack Tiki Bar upper deck that overlooks all of Ocean Isle Beach, the marsh and the Atlantic Ocean. While you're there enjoy any of our custom concoctions, live entertainment and help us with our daily sunset toast and celebration.

My husband & I looked forward to dinner at OIFC on Tuesday, 4/27. This was our 1st trip to OIB & this restaurant LOOKED like it should be good. We ordered the crab bites & soup of the day for appetizers, which did not come until about 2 minutes b4 our entrees were delivered. The soup was ALMOST lukewarm, the bites were mostly breading. For dinner, I splurged & ordered the "Fresh Catch OIB Style" - the fish was SO OVERDONE that I could hardly cut it & had to ask for a sauce to dip it in just to eat it. My husband's ckn breast was equally overdone & almost inedible. THIS WAS THE WORST $100 MEAL WE HAVE EVER HAD. But at least the beer was cold & the tea was good.

Went for late lunch on Saturday 4/24. Husband had island shrimp skewers which were delicious. I had the crab cakes (was told the were almost all crab) and was sorely disappointed as there was very little crab meat. Will go back for shrimp dishes.

People-friendly:yes!
Opened the bag at home and found the Captain's Combo was missing the fries.
Over the phone, no credit (back to card) was available. Cost : $25.60 + 3 tip.
Offered: Stop back in and we can refund a couple of dollars.
Must be a better option to make this right. The Company just needs to find it.
Fried fish, popcorn shrimp, oysters were "okay". Cole slaw was somewhat bland.
I don't buy into "customer is always right", but something is missing here.
