Castaway Grill

My review is based on when we came a few years ago… I am planning my 34th birthday trip around being able to come and eat here for breakfast. This place is so good! We discovered it on my 30th birthday trip in 2020 when we made our first trip to Ocean Isle. We ate there everyday and loved it every time. It is consistent and always good. We drove out of our way to go eat there on another beach trip when we stayed in North Myrtle. I highly recommend and I can’t wait to come eat there in March of 2024. Photos are from when we came in 2021.

Great food. Huge portions and the service was great. Everyone came out to talk to us about all of the food they make, where we were from etc. Definitely going to go back

I was surprised to find the Castaway Grill hidden off the beaten path in Ocean Isle Beach. Staff were friendly and food was surprisingly very good. I am sure I will return. I had a delicious hamburger there. For this to be a rather small place, I was happy to find name brand sweeteners on the table as well as large high quality paper napkins. These nice touches are appreciated and rare!

I had the chicken souvlaki, loved it. Not only was the food great so was the atmosphere. And great service. They were food allergy friendly for me. Hoping to have the lamb souvlaki next time. Its a small place but well worth trying in my opinion. Thanks for a great meal.

Hidden gem among the high dollar tourist places. Diner-type menu. Big portions of really good food. Steak sandwich was a hunk of steak on a bun. Wife said the flounder sandwich was one of the best she's ever had.

We'll be back!

Great atmosphere, good service and good food. My wife and I really enjoyed our breakfast and the waitress was really kind. It’s really crowded and the place wasn’t super big, I’d recommend call ahead if you have a big group coming in.

Absolutely delicious! Best grits I ever had that I didn’t make. Will be back when Im in town again and will 100% recommend

Great breakfast! Food was delicious, hot, and had generous portions. Down home atmosphere.

We go for lunch to this grill every summer we vacation in Ocean Isle!! This year was no different, same great service and delicious food ! The waitresses are always checking in you and keeping the tea filled. Very nice food portions for an affordable price. Get their Chicken Souvlaki!! Greek Pasta salad, yes! Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere always.
The owner is always cooking up good specials. This year he is suffering bad back problems but is still there all day making it great for customers. Be sure to show him some love on your way out!

This place is awesome the people are great,the food is great. My son has autism and the owner I guess came by and was talking to My son and ask him how he likes his steak and he told him now keep in mind we have done ordered our food it waa just a few minutes and the man came back and had fixed my son a steak. That meant so much that someone would take they time to talk to him and then go fix him a steak. All my son could say was it was the best day of my life. So I want to let them know thank y'all so much for making my son feel special that day. So if y'all want some good food, go here . Here is a picture of the steak don't it look wonderful it was so juices my son said best steak ever.

Excellent food and service. And u get a ton of food that's delicious...

I absolutely loved Castaway. First of all, the service is amazing. They made my little girl feel like a superstar. The food was great, good prices with large portions and a great taste! They didn't give me a tiny cup of coffee, I got a big cup of caffeine. I needed that. Plenty of parking. Easy location for those on the island. I wish I had the opportunity to visit again but my time in the area was limited. When I'm back in the area though... I'll be hitting up both breakfast and lunch

Good lord the food was delicious and you get tons for the cost. The service was super fast and our waitress was very kind. The cashier was an absolute doll. The place was really clean and cozy.

Good food, good prices, and great wait staff.

Hands down our most favorite places to eat we've been vacationing here for over 10 years and since this place opened we have always eaten it ever year.. the best home made style of food around hands down. And wow the amount of food u get for the money. Huge thanks to everyone who works here my wife and I have never had a bad experience here thank you very much,,

The food was great! Fast, friendly service. Thank you!

Wonderful food and plenty of food to eat when you go to eat here!! Excellent atmosphere, food and service!!

Barely spotted this hole in the wall grill but I'm glad we did. Great service and the grilled chicken club was huge and delicious. Will return .

Love the staff and the food is always awesome

Just moved to the area, and so happy this place exists! I've only done pickup orders for Breakfast, but that experience has been great. Staff is very friendly, and food portions are large. I'll have to try lunch!
