Restaurants near Grandy

“Stopped on my road trip and it exceeded my expectations. The service was fast and the food was delicious. Got the chicken enchiladas and steak fajitas. Sad I won’t be back in town anytime soon to go back.”

“Customer service, atmosphere, price, and food was GREAT! Cook came out to check on our food, even with 5pm Friday night dinner rush! Bonnie & Clyde pizza was huge, and it was only a large. 3-year-old loved the Wiseguys Fries with cheese. Will definitely be back!”

“Great hidden spot along the main road toward OBX! (Turn at the Hardee's/Royal Farms and keep on goin' to the end of the road.) It's definitely a local divey hideaway, with tons of cool and eclectic rural backwoods decor. GREAT FOOD. The boom boom shrimp sauce was really good, and the mushrooms had an unusual-looking, yet fantastic, coating and fry! Huge portion of those huge shrooms, as the photo shows. The 1 lb. portion of Steamed Shrimp was also huge! I guess I didn't realize how large the shrimp would be, and there are 15-20 in that bucket. They DO go very heavy on the Old Bay! I turned over the top shrimp so it wouldn't be so visible in the photo. Our awesome server Karen told us it would be that way, and next time I'll ask for light-to-no seasoning, because it really was very heavy (and therefore, salty). But still excellent! I never leave seafood on the plate, but there was just too much for me to finish. Google before you visit, because I understand the hours can vary. But worth the trip if you're looking for downhome rural waterside! Hubby and stepson have already been back several times on their Harleys, both for lunch and dinner. They love the hometown "Cheers" feel of the bar.”

“Yummy Mexican food. Rowdy at times. I like it and the staff is welcoming. Plenty of parking. Carry out too! Prices are reasonable.El Portillo reminds me of Mexico. Festive & fun”

“My husband and I have always loved going to Tucker's. The food is always good and tastes consistent if you reorder something delicious! Plus, there's always some interesting and yummy special of the day!”

“Step back in time in this iconic restaurant. Taken from the ? citcom Mel's you are whisked back it time with the decorations and staff. The food is exceptional as is the service. Very reasonable priced.”

“Barry and Donna are amazing people. They genuinely care about people. Barry's Crab Soup is one of the best kept secrets around. They create a contagious culture of caring individuals with whoever they are around. Love being around them. They give to so many charities and the community. They are always willing to help out those around them and know how to have fun. Give their restaurant and hotel a try. You won't regret it. Come stay at Barry's!”

“These workers are AMAZING. I hadn’t been to subway in years, came on a whim craving a salad. Needless to say, this will be replacing the local McDonalds as our eating place. Great job! And I hope these women get the recognition they deserve for some of the best customer service in Grandy.”

“Best delivery pizza in this area. Good people. Fast delivery. Sometimes undercooked. No more free delivery. But still your best bet around here. Give them a try.”

“If you find yourself on Caratoke Highway 158 in your way to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, you cannot miss this gem! This German inspired microbrewery and butchery served up the very best Reuben I have ever tasted and the Black Radish beer was also a winner! After just one visit, this is my new favorite place!?”

“This has to be my favorite spot to get Chinese food. Unfortunately, after covid 2020 the quality of the food went down. I rarely ever visit now. I typically drive a further distance and go to Camden. I really hope they step it up and get back to fresher food. I miss having a good local spot!”

“They were absolutely slammed this morning 7/6/23, 13+ in drive thru and parking lot full but the service and food was amazing! I did have a long wait to place my order in dt but it was worth it!”

“Our attendant/cashier, Brandon, was AMAZING ??. He helped us get the best deal from our order with combos. He was very professional and efficient. This was the quickest service I’ve ever received at a Sonic.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp”

“Wow! Wow! Wow! Easily the Best BBQ I have ever eaten! A food "Trailer" that is doing everything right! A simple menu that is playful yet adequate filled with bursts of flavor. (My personal favorite is the BBQ parfait.) The Smoked meet is perfectly tangy, spicy, and sweet; cooked just right. The kids loved the Funnel Fries, and the Redneck Fries were EPIC. Even the fries used in all the items were Perfect, crunchy seasoned crust with a soft and moist middle. Absolutely nothing about this place was flawed, it's truly authentic fun family street food.... Well done, well done....Kid-friendliness: My kids loved it, spiced just right for young kids and the Fries were a huge hit!”

“01/16/2022 06:00amTo the young man who made my large hot Carmel macchiato.That was the best coffee Ive had in a long time! Thank you so much.It was perfect, better than Starbucks. Taste was on point and it was ready to drink immediately.Right after a had the first sip, I thought to myself "today's gonna be a good day".Thanks for making my day. I hope this gets to you, you deserve a pat on the back for excellent service.”

“This was probably one of the best McDonald's we have ever visited.The service was terrific, the place was clean,and the food was hot and some of the best tasting we have had ever!This says a lot. Quarter pounder was hot juicy, amazing!Great job team. You shine over all the rest.”

“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”

“This was an awesome experience staff was super helpful and explained how to do everything. I told them what I liked and didn't and they knew exactly what I needed to order.”

“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.”

“Can't get enough of this place! We go to Corolla once a year for a week, and make it a point to get coffee from the Kind Cup every morning. Not to mention they have great beach gifts for friends and family!”

“Island Smoothie is one of my favorite things about coming to OBX! The smoothies and food are amazing and the people couldn’t be nicer! It is not to be missed if you are anywhere nearby!”

“Without a doubt, Corolla Pizza is one of the best Pizzerias in the US. Whether you want something substantial like a Meat Lovers or something as pure as a Cheese Pie, Corolla pizza does not disappoint. The cheese has a subtle buttery flavor to it and the crust has both an initial snap and chewy consistency. Don't forget about the Philly Cheese Steaks, Fries and other menu items. The staff is amazing and Jason Olszewski, the head bottle washer, is helpful and always has a kind word to say.”

“My family and I haven’t been to OBX in about 10 years. We stayed in Corolla for a week, and found Driftwood Coffee Co within the first day of arriving. Safe to say that all 10-12 of us went 3-4 times EACH during our week stay ? Coffee is delicious. Very friendly service. Owner is extremely kind, and very talented! She displays her paintings around the shop as well as her jewelry. Come to find out, the shop has only been open since April. I have a feeling they will continue to do very well during the summer months. We will be back!”

“Not only is the atmosphere beautiful and inviting, but the sushi is truly a WORK OF ART! Delicious and stunning as it’s being served. Wonderful staff too. HIGHLY recommend!”

“They worked with me to order two cakes for which I drove from Virginia to pickup. The 12 layer Chocolate cake tasted just like my grandmother's; it was moist and tender and that frosting is sublime! I also bought a Coconut-Raspberry 12 layer cake that was the hit at my dinner party! The cake could not have been better, the raspberry wasn't overpowering, but leant a freshness that was unexpected. The coconut frosting was not overly sweet, but tasty. While there, my friend and I each got a sandwich; chicken salad and egg salad, and a scone for lunch which we enjoyed on the ride home. The employees were super helpful and cheerful and all in all, it was a delightful experience and we will be back!”

“They are the kindest people and their food is Authentic and fantastic.Even the OBX restaurant owners come there to enjoy their food as well. Once you try them you will be back.”

“Been coming to Corolla for 30 years, tried Northern Lights for the first time today and it instantly is on my list to return every time I come back. The staff was extremely welcoming offering each of my kids a small treat for walking in with me. They were patient yet efficient and the food and coffee is delicious. Can’t wait to come back in July.”

“Excellent food, friendly attentive staff and even clean bathrooms! The Cheesesteak was real shredded beef, cooked well on a delicious French bread roll. The cheesy bread was great too.”

“The bang bang shrimp were cooked & seasoned perfectly. We also had the crab cake sandwich & the pork bbq sandwich. They have a bbq sauce or the most popular vinegar based sauce. It was so good because bought a thing of their award winning vinegar sauce. The staff were so polite & the food came out fast & hot... this is our new favorite secret to eat..... they do breakfast, lunch, & dinner. It's very casual w/ a full bar . The bar seats around 12-15 people..”

“Plenty of parking. Relaxing atmosphere on waterway watching the beautiful boats.....Food was to die for and service was great and friendly. I LEFT MY HARLEY HAT THERE. HOPE THEY HUNG IT SOMEWHERE ON THE WALL FOR NEXT TIME IM BACK.”
