22 Best Vegan Restaurants near Duck

“We celebrated our anniversary here and could not have asked for a better experience! From the moment we walked in, everything was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding — every dish was full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. You can truly tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience. The service was just as impressive. Christa was our server and she went above and beyond to make our night feel special. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire evening. It’s rare to find service that stands out this much, but she truly made our anniversary dinner even more memorable. If you are looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and a restaurant that makes you feel appreciated, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back!“

“Love this place!! Such a gem! Every year we look forward to our vegan, gluten free donuts. We get them multiple days throughout our vacation. The staff/owners are so sweet and helpful especially with allergies, they get it! Definitely recommend!“

“NC Coast Grill & Bar was a great lunch stop for my wife and me. We ordered the Damn Good Burger, a double stacked burger that truly lived up to its name.It was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

We also ordered the crab dip as an appetizer, and it was very good as well. We loved this place and would definitely recommend it. It was absolutely worth it.“

“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.“

“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 have been to Steamers on several occasions. Every time we have had amazing service. The food was sensational. The service was outstanding professionally courteous and provided great ideas. We will definitely come back.“

“Awesome place - stopped in on vacation and got some ice cream sandwiches and some clothes. Owner was super nice. This is definitely on the list to hit every week in OBX.“

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

“Absolutely loved our experience with Sweet Coast Cakes! The whiskey barrel cake I ordered was an absolute showstopper, so detailed!! And the inside? Just as impressive. The cake was incredibly moist, flavorful, and clearly made with high quality ingredients. One of those cakes that people keep talking about long after it’s gone. The personal touches really set Sweet Coast Cakes apart, too. From the thoughtful packaging to the adorable “handmade with love” sticker on the box, you can tell how much care and pride goes into every single order. It felt special from start to finish. If you’re looking for a cake that’s both stunning and delicious, Sweet Coast Cakes absolutely delivers. Highly recommend! 🎂✨“

“delicious food and friendly staff“

“Probably the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had“

“EAT HERE. No, really. This is quite possibly the best food in the northern Outer Banks.

The chef expertly creates beautiful plates containing perfectly cooked and portioned food. The combination of textures, blending of flavors, and presentation make for a meal to remember.

Staff are fully knowledgeable about the menu and preparations. The atmosphere is comfortable and intimate (about 26 seats capacity).

Very impressive timing by the chef to produce so many meals so perfectly timed. Halibut was perfectly seared (just a little too much salt in the preparation). The beet, apple, arugula salad was simple excellence.

This truly is a spot to cherish and support.“

“A chill spot to grab a bite for lunch. Nice views in and out. The beet salad is delicious and the french fries have a little salt and vinegar on them making them super tasty. Good quick service as well. Definitely looking forward to going back.“

“Our party of 3 (2 vegetarians and 1 vegan) absolutely loved our lunches here. The owner was friendly and accommodating and obviously puts time and intention into her recipes. We didn't feel like her veggie options were an afterthought, like they were most other places in the OBX. The basil pesto and sun-dried tomato pesto were stellar. The fresh mozzarella was creamy and delicious. Her smoothies and coffee drinks were delicious as well. This was by far our favorite place to eat on our vacation!“

“Best Bloody Mary’s on the beach. Fun vibes and great food. Check it out!“

“Great Bagels, great coffee, great service! Make sure you stop in while in OBX!“

“Crab legs steamed perfectly each time we have been. Friendly servers. It’s a fun, busy place but everyone working & dining was happy & courteous when we were there today. My Dads favorite place for crab legs is Jimmy’s!! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀“

“My elderly mother in law has a specific way she asks for her fried egg, and Steve cooked it perfectly for her. The service was timely and attentive, and our meals were delicious. Thank you!“
