“ Tuna was delicious and was cooked perfectly. Staff was very friendly and service was quick after we were able to get to our table. ”

“ For dinner, I had the Fried Seafood Combination with shrimp, oysters and fish. The food was cooked to golden brown perfection and the portions were better than any other seafood restaurant I've been to in the past year. I almost couldn't finish and in fact was not able to eat all of my fries. When I get another hankerin' for seafood, this is where I'll go. ' ”

“ We are visiting and decided to check out lunch at Daddy Mac's and we are glad we did. There was no wait because it was off season. The place isn't upscale, but has a nice beach vibe. We were seated ocean front on the deck with 5-star views of the beach and pier. The menu is interesting with a lot of seafood options. We had the daily special Mahi Tacos with grilled mahi. The mahi was perfectly grilled, moist and tender. The toppings were mixed with beans, diced tomato, cabbage, onions, corn and a wonderful spicy sauce. The three tacos were delicious. The staff is super wonderful. The hostess was welcoming and accommodating. Sam, our server was attentive, friendly and kept glasses filled. Food came out quickly. Prices are reasonable. They offer cocktail and beer specials. There is a kid's menu. We found parking next door (free off season). We'll be back. Great beach dining experience. ”

“ Ate here last night w my vegetarian granddaughter. The menu doesn't show it, but they had a separate vegetarian menu! Both of our dinners were very good. Service and the view was also great. For those saying this place is pricey, I question where you typically eat. 2 entrees, a glass of wine and dessert came to $60 w tip. Oh and did I mention the view. Normal Dinner prices and I'd say good prices for oceanfront. ”

“ Stopped by @ 1pm on a Sunday and we're pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. There was a wait to sit on the patio but we had a nice view from our booth indoors. The parking situation was dicey, the lot to the right of the restaurant was a city pay lot. The 4 places in front of Daddy Mac's were full. We called them and we're told that they shared a lot with Shaka Taco across the street and we barely found a spot there. Cat was our server and she took great care of us. My husband ordered the Topsail breakfast and I had the shrimp and grits. They were the best I've ever had and I've eaten them often. ”

“ Visited Daddy Mac's twice while in the area this week. Once for takeout and once to treat my Mom to a seafood dinner on the water. Beautiful views of the ocean and the moon. Eclectic cocktail menu. Place was crowded every night we were here, so come early. The blackened scallops were amazing and the crabcakes are a must try. We will be back! With love from Raleigh. ”

“ Recommended by a local for the food and the view. Both were fantastic. While we waited, we went through the restaurant right on to the beach to take pictures. Afterward, we had drinks and sat on the porch to wait 45 mins, which ended up being 15! For an appetizer, the fried oysters had amazingly seasoned breading and were fried just right. There were plenty to share. I got the scallops and the hubs got the lobster and shrimp Diablo. Both were delicious! Other dishes at the table were filet, fried shrimp and flounder which were also well prepared and good. We had a seat inside with a great view of the ocean. Our server was very helpful with answering questions, making suggestions and taking care of us. We had a great experience. ”

“ If you don't want to wait, get there EARLY, like 4:30 early, to get your name on the list. (They don't take reservations.) We arrived at 4:50 with a party of 2 and still waited about 20 minutes, which was fine, but larger parties were being told almost 2 hours. Setting: BEAUTIFUL! The dining area overlooks the ocean, and there is outdoor seating as well. Service: Both the hostess and our server were attentive and kind. The service overall was excellent. Food: The food was good, but overpriced for what it was. The bill for 2 people with an appetizer and no alcohol was over $100. The steak was decent, but not amazing. The lobster bisque was tasty, but had maybe 2 tiny bites with lobster in it. The best thing I tasted was the crab cakes. The experience was pleasant overall, but for the price, I would try a different place next time. ”
