Inlet View Bar & Grill

Resting on the intersection of the Shallotte River and the ICW, this is the perfect waterfront restaurant to end your day.

You won’t find frozen fish flown in from a million miles away here. For dinner, we don’t want to tell you what to do or anything, but you should try the Captain A.L. Dinner, which includes NC flounder and shrimp. Head over to 1800 Village Point Road, SW, Shallotte, for one of the best views… and the best food in the area.
