Crabby Mike's - Holly Ridge

We entered the restaurant which was only about 1/4 filled and were seated immediately. Our waitress was warm and friendly. After we ordered our meals a large American Cockroach walked across toward our table which my daughter noticed and I stepped on to kill. We informed our waitress, as the roach was beside our table and in one of the highly traveled isleways.

The first year that they were there I enjoyed eating there. We went back the following year and they were horrible. Food and service were bad. We were extremely disappointed and have never been back.

Overpriced, average food. Way too casual and cramped of an atmosphere to be charging these type of prices. Never saw our waitress again once food was brought out (by another waiter). Huge disappointment.

We stopped in for lunch before leaving the island. We were looking for fish and we both thought it was very good. The blackened grouper sandwich was delicious! Price was comparable to others in the area. Our waitress was very friendly too. We will no doubt stop in when we visit again.

Contrary to what other reviewers have said, my experience at Crabby Mike's was fantastic! The food was delicious and our waitress was friendly and attentive. We did have to wait a while for a table, but that seems to be the norm on Topsail Island. Overall, we had a great dining experience at Crabby Mike's.
