23 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!“

“Accidentally put vanilla ice cream in my sundae instead of caramel (which I almost didn’t even notice) before running outside to track down my girlfriend and I to give us a free sundae voucher to make up for that tiny mistake… absolutely incredible customer service, incredible sundaes, I love this place“

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

“What a great place. It is bright and airy. They do have outdoor seating and even though it was 55 degrees with a 25 mph wind, there were people eating on the deck.

Our waiter, Carlos, is great. Smiling, friendly and polite and makes great recommendations.

My husband had the fish and chips (salt and vinegar). I had the gumbo and a side of sweet potato fries. So really good. My husband also had the Screwball expresso martini. Wowza!“

“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! 🎂✨“

“I recently dined at NC Coast Grill & Bar in Duck, NC. The overall experience was pleasant, with attentive service and well-prepared dishes. However, I did notice that the ingredients didn’t feel particularly fresh, more like pre-prepped items that were reheated before serving. That said, the flavors were still enjoyable, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. A decent spot for a casual meal, though I’d love to see a stronger focus on freshness in the future. 3.5 stars.“

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

“delicious food and friendly staff“

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

“Incredible. my date and I split 4 of the starter dishes. The special soft shell crab over black eyed peas, a rabbit cassoulet, the evening soup offering and a fried halloumi chees with a sweet jam and crushed pistachio. everything was superb. the rabbit was tender and rich and the fiddle ferns in the base are always a spring treat. the soup was a creamy potato spinach that was not just delicious but a pleasing shade of green that stood out in the bowl. but what sent the evening into best meal of the year ranking was the softshell crab. Meaty would be an understatement, one crab was more than enough for two to share, perfectly fried in a crispy yet not overwhelming batter, and the blacked eyed peas were done by someone who understands how difficult it is to make them crisp while still tender. Jen and Joe always make such amazing food And Lori is an absolute joy. Best meal of the year top slot. thank you guys so much.“

“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!“

“Great experience, waiters very nice, great food“

“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!! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀“

“We had a great date night here. Delicious cocktails and food. Very fresh ingredients. Definitely check it out! While this was our first time, I observed the staff really knowing their regulars…had their beverages ready to go when they walked in. Very cool local spot.“

“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!“

“What a great experience. The food was great. The staff was very friendly. Love it all. The prices can't be beat!“
