New American Restaurants near Duck, NC

“BEST PORK CHOP EVER. So what if I order a pork chop at ever restaurant that boasts one. I expect pork perfection - and The Blue Point achieved it. Pork excellence! This chop was beyond good. It had this crust with a bacon essence that just made me laugh it was so good. And the bread pudding had the perfect savoriness. Oh my word! It’s a must try! My hubs got the crab cakes - also VERY GOOD. But the night belonged to Porky-God rest his soul. He was VERY good.“

“This place is out of this world! First‐ our server, Luke, was top notch. He was kind, helpful, and friendly. We ordered the the Chef special which is a sampling of a majority of their their menu. 7ish items. I am from the mountains and not a big seafood fan but we scarfed everything in front of us. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Lastly, the beignets as dessert were delicious! As a vacationer, I would come back to OBX just for this restaurant.“

“Very nice restaurant with lovely views of the sound, stellar kitchen and attentive, friendly service. Great local beers on tap and good wine list. I've never had any food here that wasn't great, even a simple salad or a burger. A go-to for dining in Duck, be it casual or special occasion.“

“I am loving coming back again to steamers! It's so good. Just had a taste of a NC bourbon. It was very nice! Can't wait for dinner!! Burger was great. And my wife had fish tacos which looked epic! Let's see what I choose tonight.“

“Haven't been in a. Long while. It was fabulous and much more intimate than I remember, a plus! Very nice. Walking in the hostess was pleasant and greeted us like she was glad we were there. Jeff was excellent as our server. I think my only complaint would be the lady, not server, who brought us our check back with card because she was not like the others. No smile When we left we said hey it was great, have a good night etc, and she just had a sour look on her face. Everyone else was great, friendly, and made you feel welcomed.Will definitely come back.“

“This was our second visit to the Beachside Bistro - once in October, and again in late November. We found the food to be excellent! We did breakfast in October and brunch in November. The breakfast burrito (a regular breakfast item) and a selection from the new brunch menu - smoked, pulled pork over fried grit cakes with bourbon bbq sauce are our favorites so far! This hidden gem is well worth a visit!“

“Fun atmosphere in restaurant/market, with great wine selection (lots available by the glass) and quality food. Service was above average, and even the music was great (mellow classic rock, not live, but sometimes they have live music). Good variety in apps and small plate options, delicious seafood choices, and you can tell the folks in the kitchen cook with passion and a care for quality food. Some good gluten free options, but very sadly, no GF bread or sandwich buns. The market sells a great selection of gourmet food items, beautiful cheeses and wines, funny cocktail napkins, and even some prepared foods.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! A lady working at the Hampton Inn suggested the Urban Kitchen and said that of all the places to eat on the Outer Banks this was her favorite. She showed us a listing of all the restaurants and this is the one we picked after asking multiple questions. She did not steer us wrong. Go try it. You won’t break the bank either!“
