“ My family ate here yesterday and let me say this place is a hidden gem for anyone craving great burgers and ice cream. The burger was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right, with fresh toppings and a soft, toasted bun. And don’t even get me started on the ice cream — super creamy with a great variety of flavors. You can tell they really care about quality here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. We did have a large group but they handled us well AND showed us the extra parking in the back!! Highly recommend! ”

“ A nostalgic gem with the best fries on the island—hands down. Island Delights is exactly what you want in a classic burger-and-ice-cream spot: simple, delicious, and full of charm. The cheeseburgers are always hot, juicy, and cooked just right—nothing fancy, just done right. And the fries? Easily the best on the island. Crispy, golden, and perfectly salted every time. I love the old-school, nostalgic vibe—it feels like stepping into a beach-town time capsule in the best way. Friendly staff, quick service, and a great spot to cool off with some ice cream scoops or a milkshake after a long day. Whether you’re craving comfort food or just want to chill in a place that feels like summer, Island Delights delivers. A must-stop if you’re anywhere near the area. ”

“ The food? Always fresh, seasoned right, priced fairly for a tourist destination and made with care. The milkshakes? Thick, rich, and worth every sip. The staff? Friendly, fast, and always on top of it, even when it is packed. It is wild to see a certain “review” pop up that feels more like shade from people in competing businesses but those of us who actually eat here regularly know the truth. Island Delights stays clean, professional, and consistent. Just good food and good energy. Support the real ones. This place holds it down for the community and never disappoints. ”

“ They had amazing food, you should've seen the cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. The service was great. The atmosphere was amazing, they had a bunch of items from the 90s on the walls but everything was out of order. ”

“ This is "must visit" spot for our annual trips to Topsail. Service is always great and prices are very reasonable. My personal favorite is the cheeseburger, delight style. Perfect place to grab lunch or ice cream. It gets busy! ”

“ My friend comes Surf City, Topsail Island North Carolina yearly with his family. He shared this spot as a great place to stop and eat. There were 7 adults in our group. The service was super friendly, Wonderful experience and atmosphere. I'm sure this place gets packed during the summer, we visited here the 1st week of May so we had a more laid back and not so congested time. Absolutely would recommend stopping here if you're staying on the island or just passing through. ”

“ I love. Going in their food is fantastic. Everything's fresh, it's exciting and when you look around the room. There's all history from the neighborhood from the island from around the world. It's an experience every time you go in, you. Just enjoy yourself and it's laid back and cool. I just love it and I'm from the neighborhood in Holly Ridge.. And they also have great ice cream.. ”

“ Island Delights is a staple stop for ice cream & burgers during our visits to N Topsail Beach. It is decorated as a vintage soda shop/diner style spot. The food here is consistent in quality, has a working jukebox, and filled with families on vacation. The dine in seating is limited to around 6-8 families and seating is tight during mealtime rush hour. Try a Carolina Style Hot Dog ”
