This is a thing all Of us locals were worried that they were gonna change the wings when they took it over. They promised us they were not gonna change the wings. The first time we went there their same wings, slightly undercooked compared to what they used to be but nothing to complain about. I’ve been avoiding the place because I knew eventually they were gonna change them and unfortunately I just got some wings to go and there’s almost no sauce on them and I’m pretty sure the sausage is changed. I can’t tell because there’s not hardly any sauce on them, and I hate to leave reviews like this, but I have been eating those wings for almost 30 years now my favorite wings in the world never had a better wing in my life. I love that sauce actually all their Sauces were awesome. Now I can’t ev

We ate here in October 2024 while on vacation and it was so good that we cant wait to go again in March when we get back to the island! Don’t expect fine dining, align your expectations - this is good bar food! It is clean, fast, and friendly staff! My wife and I ate here twice that one week we were on the island and may eat there our first night upon our return the month after next! We loved their chicken tenders tossed in buffalo sauce and the burger and fries are great too! Their ranch dressing is also great! We highly recommend The Tuna and to those about to dine, we salute you!!

Service (Shelby) was attentive, prompt, and friendly - never let our drink go empty. 1/2lb cheese Burger was one of the best you can get in the area. Ruben and the BLT chicken salad wrap were also excellent. Our daughter (6) didn't like the kids fried shrimp, but I think it was her and not the food. Definitely will add Tipsy to our lunch rotation.

My friend highly recommended this place so we went for lunch today. It was great. Cute place very clean and cozy. Hunter was our waiter. He was so nice and personable and helpful. The food was great and their prices are so so reasonable. Great selection of food. Cannot wait to go back.

They must have a lucky horseshoe with all the top shelf bourbons they have! I've been wanting to find Penelope Havana since its release with no luck. They had very reasonable prices and I had to try multiples! The Thursday special was club sammich or salad, so I got the club with onion rings. The bread was overly toasted and cut my mouth from being so crunchy but the taste and presentation were perfect! Definitely a great place to drop in at Oak Island for a quick bite and they had TVs all around with the hockey Stanley cup semi-finals on multiple screens.
