Nothing but 5 stars for this place. It was a local recommendation and it did not disappoint. The service was extremely pleasant and friendly. The food was great. I loved the fried pickles, popcorn shrimp and fries personally. We will be coming back to this place again before our trip is over.

Fantastic! Very kind and friendly staff, & delicious food too, especially for such a short wait. I was very impressed with how well the staff are structured. We were still given exemplary service—it’s rare that in such a busy place, everyone is treated like a priority! Beth was our server and she was absolutely wonderful, above and beyond, attentive and welcoming. I hope you see this, Beth! Surf Diner is just a short walk from many beachfront homes and is also directly across from an adorable gift shop. Definitely stop in! Five stars.

Right on the pier with great views of the beach and ocean. Fun menu with all the usual items. Service is quick and brisk as they’re always busy. Lines for breakfast. Patio seating and ac inside. Fun and funky. Prices are on the higher side for portion size. Not good coffee.

The Surf Diner was excellent. Our family had a wonderful lunch and got to eat while looking at the ocean. My wife and had the barbecue pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was recommended by our waiter Will. It was delicious and very filling. The fries were also excellent. They did not taste greasey and oily. They were real lite and tasty. My daughter had the Angus burger that was thick and made with very good beef. Our waiter was named Will and he provided good information for items on the menu and he provided great service. We're visiting from Winchester VA, but we'll be back to the Surf Diner when we return in the future.

We come here every time we are at the beach. It has amazing scenery!! Indoor and outdoor seating. Normally there is no wait time. Very clean and decorated nice. Full bar. The food is pricy for the size portions. It is good food tho. My wife had the crab cakes. They were very soft in the middle, could have cooked longer. I had shrimp oysters and scallops. They were delicious. (See pics) overall it was a good experience. The waitress was very nice. Make sure you got shirts on and shoes. They will turn u away without them. I recommend stopping here. You also have to pay $2 per hour to park. There is an attendant on site.

Stopped in for breakfast on our last day at the beach. They were busy but still took care of us very well. Breakfast was good and they have outdoor seating on the pier. They also serve dinner and lunch.

Mmmmmm... what a beautiful location. This is an ideal place to have a beer while looking out to the ocean. The view is amazing. The service was great. Not many vegan options on the menu but the server and manager were able to accommodate my needs and delivered a wonderful meal and experience. I recommend this place to anyone looking to get a cold beer while looking at the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean.

We had a great experience here with a wonderful view of the ocean. Servers were extremely friendly and willing to help with my dietary needs. Sometimes staff can become tired with customers with dietary needs so I always appreciate it when they do not feel put out by my requests. This is important when you have an extensive menu. Which they do. They offer brunch, lunch and dinner. They offer beer Wine and Liquor Bar. The food was good and well priced.

The food is delicious, served by a friendly staff. The view is gorgeous. Thankfully the crowd followed us in, because the place was PACKED within 15 minutes of being seated.
