King Neptune Restaurant & Pirate Bar

Me and my boyfriend spent Valentine’s day at King Neptune’s and we couldn’t recommend it hard enough! The flavors really complimented each other on the entree as well as the dessert! 100% worth the price, the scallops were ridiculously good and the risotto was insane. 10/10 come here for a special occasion!

Was very excited to dine here after seeing their new chef and delicious looking food in posts online. The fried oyster appetizer was tasty—frying in beef tallow is as delicious as it sounds. We also had the mussels in green curry—also delicious. This was followed by the shrimp and fried grit cake (grit cake was amazing but the shrimp didn’t taste fresh, more like frozen/rubbery, which was disappointing). We finished off the meal with the strawberry bread pudding—the bread pudding was good but the only strawberry was a strawberry used for garnish. It sounded like the it was “strawberry bread pudding” (strawberries baked into the pudding) but that wasn’t the case, so not exactly as we understood it. Nice atmosphere and service.

If I could give this place a 10, I would! This is fine dining and coastal casual all rolled into one! Food is out of this world, service was perfect, atmosphere relaxing and captivating at the same time! Thank you to our server Brooke for such great service. Thank you Chef ‘Em! Each course was outstanding. Your shrimp and grits goes down as one of thee best meals I’ve ever had! Keep up the great work King Neptune!

Chef Em knocked it out of the park with our brunch today! True to her roots, she prepared Maryland crab cakes that won the approval of a whole group of Marylanders. The French toast and biscuits and gravy were equally as impressive. We can’t wait to come back to try dinner!

Excellent choice! The restaurant is very conveniently located in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. It is very well appointed and the ambiance is excellent. Great seafood - I ordered a catch of the day which was Golden North Carolina tilefish. Grilled to perfection. Highly recommend this place while in the beautiful Wrightsville Beach.
