The Cove Restaurant

As a “foodie”, I cannot underscore enough the quality of the food in this restaurant. My family and I are locals and regulars to this excellent eatery, and we solidly prefer this restaurant to any other in the Holden Beach area. The owners are spectacular, and the employees are steady, with fairly low turnover for a local restaurant. This results in an experienced staff that is familiar with the restaurant and their culinary offerings.

Be advised... this is a tourism area, and wait times can be extraneous at any restaurant worth patronizing. The long lines and wait times aren’t the fault of the restaurant, but rather a testament to the quality of their food and the amount of tourism in our area. Be patient, and enjoy your visit!

We loved our visit here. Food was great and they treated my kids so nicely. They brought them fruit while they waited for their food and then gave them brownies with ice cream for dessert. We will definitely be back!

Experience was pretty good until we were done with appetizers. Took over 30 min from that point for our food to arrive. Two burgers were way overcooked and missing cheese, and the crab cakes were ridiculously salty! My daughter ordered crab legs, but they brought her crab cakes instead. Then after taking them back to the kitchen, they came out and said they were out of crab legs. My ahi tuna salad and french onion soup was good. Kind of hard to mess those up. Based on other reviews and our experience, this place is hit or miss. We will not go back.

I was very impressed with the food here. The quality and flavor of this Farm to Table restaurant was beyond expectations. You won't expect this considering the out appearance of the building. The staff was very nice and helpful with selecting our food. The prices were also very reasonable considering the quality and location.
