“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.“
“Delicious and creative menu and super friendly and attentive service. I love how the entire service team monitored every table for removing dishes, refilling water, adding another order, and at the same time our own waiter was knowledgeable about the the offerings and made excellent suggestions. New Years Eve can really strain a restaurant and Aqua completely rose to the challenge, feeling festive but not loud rushed or crowded. We will be back!“

“On an unexpected trip to the OBX we found this restaurant. All five of us (2 adults, 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed our meals. All three of my kids kept commenting how good the food was and ate really well.Service was great. Atmosphere was casual but comfortable and nice. Def will be back our next trip to OBXPs: if you like coconut shrimp- their sauce is incredible. We were all taking tastes of just the sauce (because it is THAT good)“
“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.“
“We visited twice during our October week in Duck! Both times the food was wonderful and Jack our waiter was very attentive. We would definitely recommend and will be visiting again next year. Just to bad we can't move the building across the street totally blocks the sunset on the sound.“
“Tl;Dr: The best restaurant in Duck. That’s it. Nothing else comes closeThis restaurant does not only just produce tremendous food, but they do it consistently. I am writing this review after visiting the paper canoe for the 3rd time. I have ordered different menu items, while my partner has only ordered the scallops as “they have the best scallops I’ve ever had in my life”. She has gone so far as to stop ordering scallops elsewhere as The Paper Canoe has ruined all other scallops for her, as they are just so good.The paper canoe is one of the, if not the best restaurant we have dined at. The atmosphere is top tier, and if you book your reservations the right time, you’ll be able to watch the sun set while you dine.The beauty of nature, mixed with the pure culinary skill of the chef, and the professionalism of the staff make this so much more than a restaurant, it’s an experience.I can not recommend The Paper Canoe enough. 15/10And attached are photos of the scallop entree, the cast iron shrimp and grits, and the sweet and sour lemonade w/ edible straw“
