    Great experience! Restaurant is very accommodating for Gluten friendly options and several items noted on the menu without modifications needed. Also Seed oil free restaurant! Food and drinks were great on Fathers Day. Also great atmosphere. Compliments to management and chef!

    Absolutely fantastic! Best shrimp and grits I have ever had. Great place for brunch, and best of all free parking. You can’t beat it! Brittnee is the best at the bar too.

    My family and I were looking for a nice but casual dinner spot for a quick trip to Wrightsville Beach. After researching a few places, we reserved a table here and we were pleased with our choice.

    We had a great dinner to ere except for the noise factor. There are no soft surfaces to mitigate the excess noise. The food and service were excellent!

    We love King Neptune and have been many times over the years. When we were there most recently the appetizers and drinks were outstanding but the en teas were such a disappointment. They were bland and not good. Hopefully it was an off night and they will return to their usual excellent execution.
