The southern culture in North Carolina is like none other. The easy, hassle-free lifestyle is luring and enticing to many and the array of culinary flare tops the chart for reasons why we love living here. In fact, Carolina Beach, NC is host to some of the best, locally owned restaurants in the region! Here we’ve taken a moment to mention a few of our favorites. Supporting our local restaurants and retailers is important and we remind you to shop and buy locally as often as you can.
Britt’s Doughnut Shop is the South’s most desired, home-made doughnut. Who cares if you’re counting calories, Britt’s is just the place to cure that sweet tooth. Be sure to get there early or expect to wait for the mouth-watering Britt’s Doughnut. Only $99, this is definitely one of Carolina Beach’s most famous and sought after establishments. Located at #11 Boardwalk, Carolina Beach, NC, you can just follow your nose and see why it’s considered the best around!
Michael’s Seafood Restaurant is one of the best seafood restaurants in the entire region. Home of the multi-award winning seafood chowder, you simply must try it – your taste buds will thank you! And, the main thing to keep in mind when going to Michael’s is the seafood is not fried - it’s prepared just how you like it - steamed, broiled or grilled - a much healthier option. It’s always fresh off the dock seafood! But if seafood is not your hankering, don’t worry - order up a steak, some chops or a pasta dish – they are all delectable!

The Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar is a fun outdoor dining experience to have right on the beach! With a pier, light ocean breezes and sunny skies in your favor, I can’t think of a better place to enjoy a meal! I personally love the menu offering an array of culinary delights such as seafood tacos and other light bites to cure the hunger pains. Visit http://www.oceangrilltiki.com/index.php
Last but not least is The Trolly Stop – hands downthe absolute best place to get a hot dog around! The Trolly Stop has a fantastic local story and originated in 1976. Years later, because of the mom and pop charm, the fresh ingredients and their variety of dogs, the Trolly Stop is still famous and has multiple locations in Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, downtown Wilmington and Southport!
