Service was better than average for this busy location, as we got our table and menus rather quickly. The menu is several pages of various seafood items. We tried their Chowder (their own variation on Clam Chowder), and the Crab Cake Stack. Dessert was Lime Pie. The servings are large. The soup was good, and the fried crab cakes were okay; nothing special.

After stopping at one other local restaurant which had over an hour wait, we walked to the Grillin' Crab. We had not been here in a few years but decided to give it a try. We were told that there was a 30-35 minute wait but that we could eat at the bar, so we chose that option. The bartender/waitress was not really doing a great job, took time to take our drink order and then came back to take our food order. After placing an order for one of their special shrimp and crab appetizers which they had on their "Specials" board, she came back to tell us that they were out of it and it was a little after 7:00 pm.We then placed our dinner order and were told they were out of shrimp (which somehow they "found" later) and placed the rest of our order. It took 20-25 minutes to receive our meals and while waiting I realized there were 4-5 open tables even though we were told there was a 30-35 minute wait.The food was OK but service was below par. The bar where we were sitting was not really clean and the bartender distracted.How you can have a seafood restaurant at the coast in July and run out of two shrimp items at a little after 7:00 pm is beyond me.Poorly managed and disappointing. The experience has definitely gone down hill since they opened.

This was our first year dining at Jinks and we're so happy that we did! We sat outside, which was fantastic and much more relaxed than the vibes inside, and really enjoyed the oysters especially. Great evening, beautiful views!

This restaurant has the perfect location as the only dinner restaurant on the ocean but has horrible overpriced food. I have lived on Ocean Isle for over 15 years and watched this restaurant change back and forth from good to bad through the years and it is definitely on the bad swing. I was embarrassed to have recommended it to my friends who were visiting. First of all the stairway and elevator to get there from the parking lot is not lit making entry confusing and difficult not to mention dangerous.At 8:00 on a Thursday night in high season it was empty. No wonder. The fish was dry on the grilled seafood platter, the chicken was dry on the quinoa entree, the jambalaya had.no sauce or liquid in it, the scallop Alfredo had very few if any scallops in it. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and the waiter plopped it on the table with two glasses and left. To add insult to injury, the $197 bill was paid and then the waiter followed us out to the entry and said he had made a mistake. He tried to add another $100 to the bill... totally inaccurate. I know he was new as he admitted but really?!?Worst restaurant on Ocean Isle and what a shame. It would be so nice to have a good restaurant on the ocean.

Pros - Top deck - We enjoyed the music, bar drinks, and the atmosphere. We sat with a view of the water. We saw boats, jumping fish, heron, and a small bobcat! My Long Island tea was excellent. Food - We came away saying the food was okay. We had seafood dip with corn chips. We ended up using the extra corn chips to eat with the shrimp and grits as it was soupy. It could have used more seasoning. Portions were plenty. The shrimp kabob had good sized shrimp and sausage. It was on the sweet side. I would come back for drinks, the view, and try different food.

The view is so good itâs distracting! But it also helps you relax and sip your wine just a bit slower. The food was excellent with large portions. Weâll probably try to split a meal next time. She had shrimp and scallops; I had flounder and shrimp grilled and might try blackened next time for a little more jolt. The sides were very good as were the hush puppies. Excellent meal and excellent service. Thank you so much for coming and for your excellent comments on the food, service and view. We hope that you will come again. Gratefully, Inlet View

Wing and Fish can be crouded, but worth the wait. Better yet, get there early and do 1/2 price appetizers on weeknights. We often will do a bottle of wine and one or sometimes two appetizers as our dinner. The prices are reasonable and the food is good.
