“I've been coming down to the Outer Banks every November for the past 32 years. Somehow I had never ran across this gem. The coffee and ice cream are perfect. We really enjoyed the malt. I also thoroughly enjoyed their specialty menu for The Fall season! We went several days and enjoyed the view, everyone that we met who worked there was great! We loved the swanky seating, the eccentric seating, and the overall beauty of this place! HIGHLY recommend checking it out!!!“

“OBX food but just a touch more refined. CIA Trained chef who’s been around and the food shows. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“Did not disappoint!! We ordered twice during our stay. My kids loved everything we ordered, from the donut holes, churros, to the donuts and pretzel bacon egg and cheese. The young man that delivered our order was on time, friendly, professional and courteous. Highly recommend.“

“We have been getting Duck donuts here at the original store since 2011. Yesterday I went in to get our first order of the vacation week. We always vacation last week of August and it usually includes my son’s bday. He’ll be 17 on Saturday and heads off to college in a year. We told him we will pause OBX next summer since we don’t know exactly where he’ll go to college. I literally cried ordering my donuts yesterday to the owner and how much Duck OBX has met to our family memories for 13 years! Duck is all about traditions to us. Sunrise, sunsets, crabbing, and of course Duck Donuts! We have loved watching this business turn in to a national franchise. What a beautiful success story. 🍩 🍩🍩🍩“

“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!“

“It was time to head home but we wanted to grab a bite to eat. So we went to google and looked up the top rated. So glad we did and the reviews were right! The burger and prime rib sandwich were DELICIOUS!! Great service too! Thanks for making the last stop of our vacation perfect!“

“🚨 🚨 ‼️ ‼️ Long Post Alert so just a heads up if you want a read ahead of your stay or if you’re a local and just want to know what the inlanders feel about this local gem on the shores of the Outer Banks. My wife and I spent our honeymoon last week in KH and all we can say about this place is, our bank probably thinks we moved in there. But for Good reason. From the time you walk in the door and are greeted by the hosts, to taking a peak in the gift shop. There is everything for everyone in this convenient beachside bar and restaurant. We made our way to the back side of the bar and were immediately greeted by Ryan who explained what the daily specials were and offered us a cocktail, all the while with a smile on his face. We chose the 1/2 lb shrimp, and as much shrimp as we ate at some other locations (over 20) this right here…hands down best on the coast. The ambiance is inviting and rewarding with just the step up from your seat and you have a beautiful view of the famous dunes and the Atlantic. The conscience of this place is unmatched. Once your belly’s are good and full, you’re just a few steps away from your toes in the sand and what better way to walk of some great food than with your toes in the water. We also dabbled in other specials of the day, unique beachside cocktails and I promise you, some of the BEST conversations with locals and bartenders alike. Not to mention the upstairs open air bar and seating where we met Jacob. One of the other bartenders who told us his in time the day prior. As we were planning our evening the next morning we said “wait Jacob’s upstairs tomorrow. it’s a pretty evening tonight, let’s go to the top Bar.” Needless to say, away we went. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Everywhere you look. Every food item you see. Every conversation you have. Everything about it is what makes this place so very special and truly only 1/1 in my opinion! To the Management, Staff and Owners of this wonderful restaurant…please keep up what you’re doing. It works and it’s made the most positive of impressions on me and my Wife. Thank you all for having us and oh by the way, we will see you guys for our 1 year Anniversary in 2026!!! Cheers to each and every one of you! 🍻 🍸 🥃“

“Ok - if yall haven’t been, or if you have been but you get sandwiches every time you go, I highly recommend you try their enormous “jumbo smoked chicken wings!”  I love their Italian, and they have great brisket and barbecue, but the “cackalacky wings” were awesome! AND - if Steven is working and you want them spicy hot, tell Molly at the register and she will have him hook you up! AND they have the battered fries that my wife loves so it’s a win-win! AND - they are one of the only restaurants on the northern end of the Outer Banks open all year. AND - a little birdie told me that sometime in March they will start having breakfast full-time as well!!!“

“Had a really excellent brunch style breakfast...pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, hash browns with bananas and whipped cream on the side. Wow. Everything was super. The hot sauces are great too. Outstanding service even though the place was crowded. My only complaint is the place is kind of cramped and noisy but that's obviously how their customers like it!“

“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!! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀“

“Went to Barry’s while in NC. The hotel was super cute with different themes. The atmosphere was cool with the old hunt lodge feel. The food & drinks were great. We loved the outdoor area and dock. Highly recommend!“

“We had great meals and reasonable priced“

“Grilled fish tacos were excellent. Our waitress was very informative and gave excellent service. Definitely will visit again.“

“Good food and service but kitchen closed at 4 pm on Fri!“
