Buddy's Crab House & Oyster Bar

The restaurant was not too packed, day after Memorial Day we enjoyed a nice steamer, stock was depleted on clams due to the holiday but staff made adjustment and took care of us. The food was very good and the beach side scenery was excellent. Our waitress was very sociable and very congenial. This was a great experience for us. Try the Edward Teach on tap, it's Aces.

A couple of work friends and I went to Buddy’s when we all got off. First off, the location is beautiful. Great environment. Everybody was smiling and just as happy as we were to be there. The new deck above the dining area gave us the most beautiful view of the ocean and the surrounding area of Surf City that I, along with my friends, have ever seen before. The whole building was clean and just had an overall good vibe. Secondly, the food. The food was terrific. My friend and I both got the cheeseburger, my other friend got the shrimp basket, and my other friend got the flounder basket. All of the food was fresh tasting, extremely delicious, and all had great flavor. Lastly, the customer service we experienced was outstanding. We walked in and we’re greeted by the owner, Matt, who greeted us with a big smile and a handshake. We then were told to sit wherever we wanted and we would have our waitress shortly. We had the most amazing waitress, Gabby. Gabby was quick, efficient, and extremely detail oriented. She made the whole experience 10x better. The food was quick, fairly priced, and delicious. Highly recommend going to this establishment for quick, tasty, fresh food.
