“We listen and we don’t judge.” Omg their garlic sauce with their mussels and clams. I drank it with a straw. Key lime pie martini is fresh, bright, and filled with flavor. Their oyster shot is awesome especially if you are just dying for an oyster. The hubs pretzel and a Holden tea? (I think that is what it was). The pretzel was soft and buttery and the cheese sauce was perfect to dunk the cheese. His tea…. Ooooo you can find trouble with that tea!!!! Back to that sauce though. Extra, EXTRA bread is a must. Service is amazing and attentive. Definitely a place you want to go during the beginning of your vacation so you can go BACK TO IT! I’ll be back tomorrow!

Excellent place to eat. We went yesterday morning ( first time ever), and again this morning. The waitress brought out our drinks without asking, and asked if we were having the same thing as yesterday. Very friendly staff and clean dining area, restrooms were clean and well stocked also.

This place is the queen of comfort on OIB. Hoping for breakfast and lunch with interesting specials, I don’t believe they have a healthy item on the menu and certainly no vegan that I saw if you want tasty food and a lot of of it at a reasonable price. This is the place to come the two ladies who worked there keep the place, lively and interesting. In addition to providing good service. There are many find dining opportunities on the island but This one is just fun.

My wife and I just had a fabulous lunch at the Castaway Grill in Ocean Isle, NC. The hamburger lunch plate was great and the house salad with homemade ranch dressing was very tasty. The smash burger was also a hit. Great service, great food and honest pricing. Will definitely dine there again.

I've never met an owner and staff so nice and generous my whole life. Genuinely nice. I came from Charlotte (found out the owner is from Charlotte too) and I came in 20 mins before closing (I didnt know they closed at 3) and they still didn't rush me out. They are reasonably priced and I always come here when I go to Ocean Isle. Please come to Castaway Grille.
