★★★★★ 5.0 Emma Williams · Apr 2025

My family and I are on vacation in Topsail and stopped at Hwy 55 for a weekday lunch. You absolutely cannot beat the price, and the server was lovely. The restaurant was bright and clean. The food was fresh and came out quickly. So good!

★★★★★ 5.0 Meaghan Ruf · Dec 2025

This location is outstanding! We came in for lunch and milkshakes. Julie was our server, and we received incredible service by this wonderful young lady! Hayley on the grill was also spectacular! The prices are reasonable and the vibe is adorable. In the summer or in the off season, Highway 55 Surf City never fails to hit the mark!

First time here. What I had was good. The original burger (Carolina burger) was great! Cheesesteak was okay 🤷🏼‍♂️. Service was excellent. Friendly staff. I'd return and try something else.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Erica Schaeffer (theClickery) · Aug 2023

It was very busy when we arrived around 1 pm on a Saturday. The food was decent. The wait staff was polite, but we had to keep asking for things we didn't receive in our order. We had to ask for straws. When my daughter's food came, she didn't get a car with her hot dog even though that was how we ordered it. And my America Burger had no pickles even though it has them on the menu. By far, the best thing I've tried was the Shrimp Po Boy, very large and messy but loaded with shrimp and flavor.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kristen Price · Aug 2024

The food was delicious as always. Honestly, that was the only good thing about it. Our waitress was nice but she did the bare minimum as far as her job goes. It was not busy while we were there. I'm not sure why we weren't offered refills on our drinks or why she didn't come take the stack of food baskets we had on our table. We sat at a 2 seat table so space was limited. The restaurant was filthy and run down. From the tables & chairs to the windowsills and floor. It all was in need of a good cleaning. I didn't bother to use the restroom and went elsewhere after we left. I can't say for sure but I doubt it was clean either. We've been to this location several times over the past 3 years. It just keeps getting worse each time. We won't be coming back to this location anymore.
