The Oceanside Grill In This Tiny North Carolina Beach Town Is The Perfect Dinner Spot

When we head to the coast for some R&R, one thing we all likely have on our bucket list is to enjoy at least one dinner right on the beach. And while North Carolina's many beach town have numerous restaurants AT the beach, finding one ON the beach with great views and delicious food isn't as easy as it sounds. The next time you head to Topsail Island, consider a dinner (or lunch) at an oceanside grill that checks all of the boxes on the wish list...

Daddy Mac's, located in Surf City on Topsail Island, is not only close to the beach, it's also on the beach.

The large, bright and airy restaurant takes up the entire lot spanning from the road all the way to the beach, with plenty of parking adjacent to the building.

There is also ample seating, both inside and out. You may wait a little longer some days for a table on the deck, but it's worth it.

Imagine checking the oceanfront dinner off your wish list from this table... Can you feel the ocean breeze and smell the salt air already?

The menu at Daddy Mac's contains a wide array of options from seafood to steaks, burgers, pasta, and even ribs.

Additionally, the lunch menu has a little lighter fare than the dinner menu and features salads, sandwiches, tacos, burgers, and more. You can't go wrong with the grilled fish sandwich of the day or one of their signature stuffed burgers.

Or course, Daddy Mac's has a full bar that's ideal for creating a cocktail perfect for any celebration! Beer and wine are also available.
