Beach Shop & Grill
The Beach Shop & Grill began as a soda shop in 1952 and has grown into a rustic, low-country bistro located on the south end of Topsail Island, NC. We use the finest local ingredients available throughout our dishes, craft cocktails and handmade desserts. We have an award winning wine list with more than 250 selections representing every major wine region in the world.
Welcome to the Beach Shop & Grill
The Beach Shop & Grill first began as Warren’s Soda Shop in 1952 slinging hot dogs, hamburgers and hand-spun milk shakes. In the 70s the soda shop became The Beach Shop & Grill which was a gathering place for visiting families during the summer. Here, families could enjoy a meal as well as purchase beach accessories next door.
In 2002, Jeff and Cheryl Price purchased the restaurant and store which now feature the finest local produce and hand selected retail items. The Beach Shop & Grill is enjoyed by many generations of Topsail Beach families, some who grew up working summers in the Soda Shop during the 50s and 60s, and now return with the next generation in tow.
