We will definitely return. Sunset, wine selection, excellent food, and top-notch service made for the perfect birthday celebration.“

“Fantastic food and service! Recommend it for sure.“

“We ate outside in the afternoon when their appetizer menu was available. Good food, nice atmosphere and service. Crab cakes, crab dip, and Mexican poutine were excellent. Sweet pot bisque was good...2 of our party thought it was too sweet but still good. Sweet Potato Burrata salad was excellent as well.“

“Had a wonderful Swedish massage today with Sara! She has great bedside manner, was cheerful, and gave a great massage!“

“Great burgers! Wait staff was fantastic. They were also very accommodating for a shellfish allergy and used a pan on the grill and changed gloves, as to not cross contaminate.(kitchen is open, so I watched the process) Also the waiter immediately told me I wouldn’t be able to eat the fries due to cross contamination and subbed a salad for the same price. We will return on our next visit.“

“We ate here on Friday Oct. 20. Bartender was super friendly. Highly recommend the clam chowder, best we've ever had. I had the Grouper special and it great. My wife had the Tuna, was super pleased, cooked perfect and not many places get it right. They did. Chef was great to talk to. She explained a lot as we sat at the bar waiting for our food. Backyard bar was our kind of place. The band had to cancel because of rain but It would have been a great place to see one. Will go back next time we are in Duck. Thanks for a great experience.“

“the food was great and the service was friendly and knowledgeable.“

“Found this little “ Pit Stop” after picking strawberries across the street & finding it after living on OBX, part time, for 7 years! It's worth stopping on the way to OBX & going back across the Wright Bridge to eat lunch there again! Best hotdog I had in a long time! The bun made the dog! Soft & perfect! Prepared just like I asked! Everyone in party said yummie! Can't wait to go back & try other cuisine in the future! See ya next week!“

“Off the Wall was our first stop when we arrived in town and we made it our last stop on our way out! I wish I would’ve gotten the name of the guy who works in the front because he was great. He was so nice and helpful that I thought he was the owner. All of the food we tried was really good, I highly recommend the burger and fries. Also, being able to try any of the beers was a lot of fun. We are looking forward to visiting again soon!!“

“they are amazing big and delicious!“

“Capt'n Franks - always a favorite when visiting the OBX! The service is great and the hot dogs are even better!“

“If you’re looking for cold beer, a/c, and a great atmosphere; this is the place. Very clean, very friendly. I definitely recommend the his for a place to just hang out and drink.“

“We are out of town visitors who enjoyed our first dinner at Urban Kitchen so much, we went back the following night. The menu is not super big, so we got to try most of the small plates, and at least 2 of the entrees. A couple of our favorites were the avocado crab toast and catfish (small plates). The catfish is actually entree sized, in my opinion, and the avocado crab toast was really tasty and unique. And don’t give dessert a miss - we tried 2 and they were both super good. My husband and I liked the passion fruit pie and our daughter liked the chocolate panna cotta (which is like S’mores) Good service and great food - this place is worth a stop if you’re in town.“

“I have been coming to the outer banks for the past 40 years. I have passed by Spanky's many times and never stopped. This past week my wife and I stopped in for lunch when we arrived at the beach and loved the food, hospitality, and price. So good we ate there again leaving the beach. Fresh made to order food, great service, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Definitely will be on our restaurant list from here on out. I just hate we never tried it before now. Great place!“

“We came here and do every year because we know the food is going to be a 10/10 ..! Today didn’t disappoint! The blue crabs were as fresh as they get! Added a 1/2 llb shrimp which was also on point. We drove from Corolla to get the best. Want to add the service is also top notch and we love the atmosphere of this little place..“

“Steamers catered our wedding. Working with Cassidy made everything so wonderfully easy. The tastings were great, as was the food at our wedding. We would highly recommend having Steamers cater any/all of your events! (Ps get the white cheddar truffle Mac & cheese, you won’t be disappointed! Our guests also loved the fresh pesto pasta with shrimp)“

“Great atmosphere and the food was amazing!“

“Glen was a great server! Good was delicious. Vibe was perfect.“

“The ice cream was absolutely delicious. Parking is very limited but we circled the block and then came back and found a spot. Ice cream is creamy, rich, and the best around. We will definitely be back when we are back in town.“

“This is a don’t judge a book by its cover kind of place. The service was amazing…very friendly and Welcoming atmosphere. The food was amazing, hot, and fresh. Now the wait for the food was a little long but when you taste the food you will know why. I did not get the cooks name, but he made this food with so much love and care. The customer service from the person who greeted us to our waitress that served us was great…..This is a place to stop if you ever traveling in the Carolina’s. Thanks guys for the amazing experience😊“

“Awesome service, ribs, Coconut Shrimp & Seafood Gumbo was fantastic! Dessert was outstanding…..Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie served on mini skillets with ice cream and cool whip!“

“Ordered breakfast sandwiches, smoothie and donuts from Kill Devil Hills location today. Asked for ketchup for the sandwiches and they said they had none and do not plan on providing ketchup in the future. I am a local. May not come back if they do not provide ketchup. Large double storefront just opened here in KDH and plenty of room for inside tables but no tables. Hopefully these issues will be corrected so I can take my granddaughter to this store again.“

“Great menu. Would like to go back several times to try most of their offerings. We had very nice salads, and the whipped goat cheese with fig spread. Unbelievably delicious.“

“So let’s just starting by saying this , myself & my family have been going to Hurricane Mo’s for around 8 years this year . We love it here, from the food to the atmosphere, & the staff . We recommend it 100% of the way. We went there today for dinner and there was a lot of “new faces” working there but one stuck out to me. We had our daughter with us (who is 11) ask me about one new worker there on why her butt was eating her shorts . And as it caught my attention, not only was her butt legit eating what shorts she had on not to mention they looked dirty & the were ripped to show her upper thigh, & by the way she was walking around sticking out her tongue to play with her tongue ring . I’m not being mean by any means when I say legit this waitress looked like a lizard walking around sticking out her tongue to play with the barbell . Every time we have been there in the past we couldn’t have asked for a better family spot to go out to eat . So I ask the “owner/manager” please have a talk with the lizard waitress on Atleast wearing shorts that don’t eat her booty & show her upper thigh off . Thank you ! & we do look forward to coming back for the good food 😊“

“they are amazing big and delicious!“

“We walked in on a busy Saturday switch over day. Service was prompt and staff was friendly. Food was very tasty and came out quickly. Would dine here again. Seating a large party may be more difficult.“

“Easter breakfast was our first time at Henry's. It was by far one of the best breakfast experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel like family. Christina couldn't have been more accommodating...making sure everything was to our liking, without being overbearing. And it was the little things that mattered. May sound silly to most, but having syrup on the table for your flapjacks...when ordering hot tea, they bring you a cup of hot water, a tea bag, PLUS a silver container of hot water to place your "used" tea bag in, should you desire another cup of tea. Also, creamer was right on the table. The menu even made sense...build your own omelet.....you pay for what you want! It seemed like all the Employees chipped in. I never saw anyone just standing around. We will certainly be back, and refer folks we know to Henry's. Thank you.“

“Good food and service but kitchen closed at 4 pm on Fri!“

“This wasn't our first time, nor will it be the last. We love this restaurant. The food is great, the servers are fast, the atmosphere is amazing. The clam chowder is the absolute best.

Parking: If the front is full, use the side next to the outside area.“

“Dog friendly deck seating makes Shipwrecks a great option. Oh, the food is delicious too! The staff is great and friendly.“
