Used to LOVE Roberto's. Used to be Five Stars for me. USED TO. PAST TENSE.
Started frequenting Roberto's back in the beginning of September 2017. I'd been smitten with their gluten-free pizza ever since the first time I had it; sometimes I'd order two in a row, and eat both of them there. I was basically there ONCE EVERY WEEK, until mid-March of 2020. So, once-a-week for almost two-and-a-half years.
You COULDN'T GET a better pizza than Roberto's, NOT even within a 300 mile radius of the place; not in the rest of Brunswick, or any of the neighboring counties. They were the best.
Always sat at the bar counter; had the best atmosphere in the place. Their bartenders were always on top of things. Usually had the same bartendress; she was a nice ol' gal, but I don't think she even works there anymore.
Roberto's doesn't make pizza anymore, not least of which, their gluten-free pizza, and they haven’t since mid-March of 2020.
Ever since I first started frequenting the place, I'd been trying to convince my parents to let me take them there. They love Italian. Finally got them to try the place for the first time in the Autumn of 2019, and...they described their food as "cold" and "rancid," and the serving staff wasn't very attentive or accommodating with us, either; it was difficult just getting their attention to keep our water topped off, and they weren’t incredibly apologetic when my parents told them their food didn’t turn out well...and, again, this was BEFORE March of 2020, and it’s not like they were incredibly busy that night. I never could get them to try the place again.
...
Their bar counter area is nice, isn't it?...but I don't have any reason to be there anymore...
A pizza paradise awaits with fantastic choices and vibrant flavors, perfect for satisfying your cravings with amazing culinary delights!

We had a good experience here. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The food we ordered was good. My son's pizza didn't have enough sauce but they remedied that. Individual pizzas were good as well. I appreciate the homemade dressings for salads and the gluten free pizza option. We would return to Maria's.
Unique vibes make this spot stand out, though the service could use a boost; prepare for a leisurely wait while you soak in the atmosphere.

It was such an interesting place. The pizza was great no doubt. Even their gluten free dough was good!
But our server was absolutely terrible. He forgot our drinks so we were sitting for over 20 minutes looking at him while he was on his phone.
Exceptional customer service!! Ran out of gluten free bread but had employees go find more so they could make sandwiches for my wife with Celiac. Coffee and food is great too, highly recommend!
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with standout service and unique dishes that keep visitors coming back for more!

Amazing gluten free options. The best meal in OIB. Ate at the bar, Sydney B - by far the best service inviting atmosphere and she makes the best bloody marys!
This place is overpriced for the food quality and atmosphere. Service was average. They would not seat our party of 10 in one table even though they had one next to us of 12. Food items ran out. 32 bucks a dozen oysters. They would not sub an item for a gluten allergy without begging. I had fish sandwich. Fried dry and tasted terrible. We had a filet steak that was good.
This place was delicious. Very fresh, they went out of there way to make a dish that was gluten free and vegetarian. It was mouth watering and a perfect place to eat after paddle boarding. The staff was great and cheerful. I would recommend that you try it out!!!
Discover a hidden gem at the beach with elevated, authentic Mexican flavors and homemade corn tortillas that make for perfect tacos.

We were pleasantly surprised to find Maya on our visit to the beach. The food was great, though not what you would expect from your typical NC Mexican restaurant. The options are a bit more elevated and authentic. They make their own corn tortillas, which resulted in a sturdy taco that didn’t break in you hand. We had the enchiladas and tacos al pastor. There are plenty of options for those GF (gluten free) /dairy free.
First timer and thought it was close to a NY bagel and for that I say thanks- only exception was having only 1 gluten free item - but all in due time I’m sure - the artwork was cool - we’ll be back
