Surfdog Bites Brews - Holly Ridge

Within his classification. Surf Dog is the best on Topsail Island. Husband Frau Team own and operate the restaurant that has become a favorite for both local tourists. You have a varied menu from hot dog to steaks, in a casual and friendly service. Your potato chips are at home and excellent. I prefer my chips floppy or slightly cooked and during my last visit my chips were cooked somewhat more than normal. One of the owners asked if my chips were okay, I said they were okay. He knew they were overcooked and said he was training a new cook so that they were cooked again. They strive for a high customer service. Good deck for dinner outside.

The burgers were tasty, and the homemade chips were delicious as well. I overcooked the BLT and bacon, but it was still a good sandwich. The wait times were long, but that's probably because they're the only place on the island with such great food. We were disappointed by the other nearby restaurants, but we would definitely come back to eat here again.

Today, we visited Surf Dog during a rare rainstorm in Surf City. Despite being busy because no one could be on the beach, we ordered two burgers - a Chili cheeseburger and a Pimento cheeseburger. Both burgers were fantastic, with great taste and perfectly cooked. The staff were very friendly and attentive, serving our food quickly despite the busy atmosphere. Great job, Surf Dog!

Bar and grill with a diner vibe. The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly. The 2-top tables are slightly moved so that my party of 7 could sit together. You also have an outside seat!

Hot dogs were delicious. Small beer list with some good choices. Friendly bartender and staff. Fun atmosphere, small interior with small outside eating area. Seems to do big take out business.
