When it comes to making plans to eat, some people like to buy their groceries and prepare meals at home. Others like to order and have the food delivered. And, of course, some people prefer visiting their favorite restaurant. Now, there’s another option available locally.
In many respects, Topsail Steamer is a unique compromise between cooking at home and dining at a restaurant. Expanding across the county, Topsail Steamer specializes in seafood steam pots and now has a location on Southern Blvd. in Royal Palm Beach.
When you purchase your meal from Topsail Steamer, you will pick up your order, which will have been prepared with everything you need, including the bucket you cook your meal in, prepared and ready for you to steam at home.
The roots of Topsail Steamer can be traced to North Carolina’s Topsail Island.
In 2017, Danielle Mahon left her corporate career and started her company to share the joy of steamed seafood feasts that she experienced “down the shore” as a child. Her big break took place on a television show that turned her concept into a national sensation.
“We appeared on Shark Tank in October 2024,” Mahon recalled. “It has been an incredible experience leading up to and after the airing of our episode. I accepted a deal with Todd Graves of Raising Cane’s and [investor] Lori Greiner. Since the airing of our episode, we have seen a significant increase in both our in-store sales and franchise interest. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a small business like ours that I am incredibly grateful for!”
Topsail Steamer has quickly become a staple meal for so many families in Palm Beach County, with some customers driving from Fort Lauderdale to enjoy. The husband-and-wife local ownership team of Kate and Kyle McGoff opened Topsail Steamer to encourage families and loved ones to gather around the table.
“With messy seafood hands, you can’t be on your phones, and it’s the best way to guarantee an amazing meal and an even better time,” Kate McGoff said.
This new type of dining is quickly becoming popular with area residents, and business has remained strong since Topsail Steamer opened its doors on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
The local spot is now one of two Topsail Steamer locations in Florida, joining one on Anna Maria Island near Bradenton on the Gulf Coast.
Topsail Steamer is currently open seven hours a day, from noon to 7 p.m., seven days a week. There are discussions to extend the hours on weekends to meet expected demand.
If you like seafood, then you’ll love what’s on the menu at Topsail Steamer — shrimp, lobster, oysters, snow crabs, littleneck clams, scallops and more.
According to McGoffs, the menu is filled with a wide variety of tasty and delicious entrees with unique names, signifying what’s in your steamer bucket. It ranges from “The Low Country Shrimp” featuring peel-and-eat shrimp and andouille sausage, to “The Shark Bite” featuring, well, just about everything on the menu.
Aside from the menu, each of the steamer dishes also includes a base of sweet corn, red bliss potatoes, cocktail sauce, butter and paper for the table. You’ll also get to choose your seasoning, from a classic seafood to a spicier Cajun.
“If you like seafood, there’s something on the menu for everyone,” Kyle McGoff said.
The ordering process is simple and straightforward.
“You can call ahead, walk in the door or place your order online. You can even place the order a week in advance, requesting the food be ready for pickup at a specific time on a specific day,” Kate McGoff said. “Then, it’s simply a matter of taking it home, steaming it and eating it.”
The steaming process can take anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on your stove top. Topsail Steamer has extras to make for an even better experience, including jalapeño cheddar and classic cornbread, made by local baker Graham Randall of Papa G’s Country Kitchen. The cornbread comes ready to eat.
There are three standard steamer sizes. The entrees can be for two to three people, four to five people, or a party pot that can serve 20-plus. The party pots require some additional cooking accessories, available from Topsail Steamer. There’s also an array of build-your-own options.
Naturally, any meal is not complete without dessert. Topsail Steamer sells lemon blueberry and key lime pies, also made by Randall.
Topsail Steamer is located at 11929 Southern Blvd., Suite 7, in Royal Palm Beach. To order ahead, call (561) 560-7353 or visit www.topsailsteamer.com.
