Tradition and innovation dine side-by-side at Beach Shop and Grill in Topsail Beach.
From a humble soda shop to an upscale bistro, Beach Shop and Grill shines a bit more brightly every year, and this, its 70th year in Topsail Beach, is no exception. Since 1952, when the restaurant opened as Bill Warren’s Soda Shop, it has served up quality food for Topsail Beach residents and visitors. Back then it was hot dogs, burgers and milk shakes. Today it could be an appetizer of N.C. Cheshire pork belly followed by sweet corn lobster ravioli along with favorite entrees such as shrimp and grits.
