Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Leland

We had a great experience at the George. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the Cape Fear River. We started with 2 delicious appetizers (crab dip and tuna)- our party of 5 each ordered a different entree and we were all very pleased with our meals. The desserts were great as well. The service was perfect. Our waitress was timely, nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to others.

First experience…fabulous. Waitress offered great suggestions, very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. Food was simply outstanding. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation and served piping hot. Atmosphere was pleasant, candles and tree lit which added to the ambiance. Will definitely be returning!

Dram yard’s creative & intentional menus were such a treat. The staff paid excellent attention to detail: cocktail modifications, food allergies, etc. They serve Antipodes water from New Zealand, which set the bar high from the very start. Our server (Maya?) was outstanding, she helped pace our food perfectly since we elected for a family style meal. My family’s favorite dishes were the pork chop and the shrimp and grits- the grits had an incredible mushroom curry sauce that elevated a common southern dish into something incredible. Highly highly recommend, we will be back!

Everything was very good. However, the French Onion soup had too cheese on top, that was really stringy and had to be cut with knife. Leah and all of the servers were great!

We had a very fine time at Clark’s. Our server Doug, was very knowledgeable with the menu and very polite and personable. We noticed the staff helping one another and running food for each other. We started with a calamari appetizer with some honey dripped croissants. Both were very good. Most of us got prime rib and I got the ribeye steak. My steak was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. A very nice experience for my mother’s birthday.
