Our waitress deserves a gold medal after putting up with our crew! She was awesome, food was delicious and served fast, the whole environment was great.

Very pricey for what it appears to be, the crab cakes were extremely good, didn't care for the slaw, not my taste but maybe someone from a far away geographic place may like it.

First time dining there, very cute little mom and pop joint. We had the southwest egg rolls to start… very delicious, my wife had the seafood quesadilla which she said was “fabulous” and I had the crab cake sandwich. Everything we had was very good with the exception of the crab cake. It was very dry and off flavored ( can’t exactly describe). The staff was very personable and pleasant to deal with.I would eat there again, but I would stay away from the crabcakes.

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The employees were short-staffed but absolutely fabulous! Great atmosphere and fantastic food. Overall excellent experience! We tried the seafood quesadilla, brie-LT wrap, and kid's cheese nachos. We would absolutely go again!

Walked the Duck Boardwalk and stopped by for a late lunch. Food was pretty good for the price point, my wife had a crab quesadilla and I had a pulled pork bowl. I also had a draft beer and got a souvenir cup with $4 refills, initial beer was $8. Nothing fancy, order food at the bar and they bring to the table. Most seats are on the boardwalk, so nice water view at picnic type tables. If you want a descent meal at a reasonable price (for OBX) this is a worthwhile stop!

This place is a hidden gem. The food was excellent as well as our bartender Sabrey. I had the seafood quesadilla and it was loaded with tasty grilled shrimp and crabmeat.

Went for dinner on a Tuesday around 6pm. This place is teeny tiny! There is more seating on the small outside patio than inside tables. We sat at the bar since there were no available tables, which worked well for us. The staff was friendly. They were good with everyone I saw them interact with and checked on us often enough. Full bar available, I had a vodka pineapple and they had 3 types of vodka (Tito's, Absolut & Stoli). They also Had beer, hard seltzers, etc. Mexicanish food on the menu. We started with nachos. They were fine. Nothing great, nothing bad. Then we had quesadillas. I tried the veggie-Dee with chicken, friend had chicken and cheese. Again, it was fine. Stuffed pretty full, so can't complain. I saw some other people with the taco platter and it looked like a lot of food. Cute place to have a few drinks and a few quick eats. Beach vibe. If looking for something easy, stop by. If looking for something great there are plenty of those around.

This is a fun little eatery. Fun plates. Not an extensive menu but what they do they do well. The quesadillas were cheesy and tortillas crisp. The chicken sandwich and fries were really well done for those that are looking for a more mild taste. And the burrito was fresh and not fishy. You can't ask for more. The decor is beachy and cheeky. The servers are quick and friendly. Come sit enjoy the views outside, limited seats inside, don't feed the locals!

Friendly first time visitor here! Cannot wait to try what looks (from the outside) like a beautiful dining experience. Sadly, it's been closed since we arrived - even though it's high season. Truly hope all ok w the owners & staff. Happy almost Labor Day '23 (party of 13)

Recommended by hotel staff we had appetizers and dinner. We sat outside with our lab who the staff loved on making sure he had water. Staff was very friendly and attentive and made sure we were all well-taken care of. The food was great including the crab cakes, tuna and tuna and shrimp entrees. We’ll definitely be back as this is now one of our favorite casual restaurants.

Excellent service, food, and drinks. Good stuff for kids. Ate way too much. Crabby fries (fries + queso + crab + old bay) completely gratuitous.

Sorry my experience was not a good experience. Met my uncle and his wife up there for drinks when we got to Corolla while we waited until our place was ready. The inside bar was busy and outside tables were starting to get seated, my uncle already had his drinks and he said they were good (orange crush). I went to the bar never got waited on or even asked if I wanted something. Ended up having to walk out and went to another restaurant close by for drinks and light lunch. I hope others had a better experience than I did.

Waiter forgot our appetizer, had to ask for it after we had already received our entrees. People ordering alcohol received preferential treatment. 3 glasses of water were dirty. Also the waiter struggled to recommend a dish. Price does not reflect the quality, would not recommend.
