Island Way 1407 East Beach Drive, Oak Island, NC 28465

"Wonderful early dinner experience. We happened to arrive during a beautiful sunset. Many patrons couldn't help but snap pictures through the windows lining the back of the dining room. Our waitress was amazing. She was knowledgeable and delightful. Appetizers and our meals were delicious. Everything was hot and fresh from the kitchen. The dishes were well seasoned. The IslandWay Potatoes and the Crab Dip alone are worth the trip."

"Fantastic restaurant be patient when they are busy they serve in typical courses so don't be in a rush and enjoy your food it is phenomenal staff are awesome as always highly recommended!! Update we were just there this evening had our dogs so we couldn't go inside of course so we got to go ate outside in parking lot so we could keep an eye on the pooches... Food still phenomenal! definitely recommend reservations and enjoy the cuisine staff and the menu are great"

"Island Way did not disappoint! We stopped in with no reservation but they accommodated us as if we did. The hostess, the bartender, and our server Kirby went out of our way to make the evening special. Two in our party requested gluten-free options on the menu. Kirby discussed the options with the kitchen staff and the meals were spectacular! Definitely a place to visit when you want good local food and a beautiful sunset!"

"The food was incredible! From the appetizer to the main dish! But what made it better was the service! Our waiter Noah was amazing! Friendly and kind! I had asked him his opinion of two dishes I was choosing between and he offered something slightly off menu that was absolutely delicious! So glad I got it! Definitely will come back any time I’m on vacation!"

"My wife, brother-in-law, and I ate here two days ago. We're still talking about how good our meal was! Hands down, best crab dip we've ever had. I could eat it every day. Oysters are on point and they prepare their fish, shrimp, and scallops to perfection! They definitely don't skimp on the portions either. The seafood platter with chefs potatoes is perfection, especially for the price! I already miss the flounder from that dish. You can tell they pay attention to detail and they truly invest in customer service and atmosphere. Great views, great staff, great place. Shoot, even the bread and butter before our meal was incredible. Best meal in the area. What are you waiting for!? Eat at Island Way!!"
