BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Located in one of the nation's fastest-growing counties, Amelia's Bar & Grille has experienced outstanding growth with a very loyal clientele! This All-American bistro specializes in homemade dishes serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner six days a week. Located 1 mile from the beautiful Ocean Isle Beach, Amelia's is a "go-to" destination for the tremendous tourist market. Though once a very seasonal market, that is no longer the case. With over 10,000 new homes completed in the past 5 years and even more underway, this community is growing at a rapid pace with residents who prefer to support independently-owned businesses.

The thoughtfully crafted menu features delightful offerings such as the savory Charleston Benedict and the vibrant Mediterranean Omelet for breakfast. For lunch, indulge in the refreshing Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad or the hearty Black Bean Veggie Burger. Dinner brings an array of enticing choices, including the rich Eggplant Rollatini and the flavorful Shrimp Creole. A signature highlight is the 16-ounce ribeye steak, aged for an impressive 28 days, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Other crowd favorites like Amelia’s Favorite Omelet, Amelia’s Burger, and Skinny Girl Shrimp showcase the restaurant’s commitment to quality and taste.
Complementing these dishes are homemade soups, gluten-free vegan options, traditional burgers, and fresh local seafood—all made from scratch.

The restaurant buzzes with energy, during breakfast, brunch, and dinner, where you’ll often find a lively crowd line stretching out the door. Recognizing limited dining options in the Ocean Isle area, owners took customer feedback to heart and acquired Tap Time Room adjoining space in January 2024. This thoughtful addition provides extra seating, private dining, and event space, along with a second bar, ensuring an even more enjoyable experience for diners. At Amelia’s Bar & Grille, every meal is a celebration of flavor and creativity, satisfying both traditional tastes and adventurous appetites.

Competition

Large national chains, such as Chick-fil-A and Panera can afford the fee.

This being said, there is very little competition and none anticipated.
