“We went just looking for a Sunday afternoon excursion from the beach. Were very pleasantly surprised. All the wines we tasted (dry whites and reds) were awesome! The gentlemen who was working there was very cordial and informative. He even took us in the back to see the wine barrels and explained some about the wine-making process. We bought several bottles to go, and will definitely be back for more.”
“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.”
“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!”
“All Food Great. Done well. Great Service. Nice View of Currituck Sound. Great Sunsets.The Tomahawk Pork Chop was incredible. The Beignets are a must have. I have visited here many times over the years. They never disappoint. Go early to avoid the crowds.Parking: Parking is at a premium. May need to park across street.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp available”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“Love this place! Hostess is a bit pretentious, but all other staff is amazing! Never a bad meal and cocktails rock. Ladies day includes charcuterie Tray that is awesome.”
“I ordered the baked riggies and was very impressed with the portion. They had no issue with my wife's request for light cheese on her pizza. Everything was delicious! We were looking for a casual place to bring our 1 year old and this really fit the bill. The waitress was very nice to him and so were the other diners.Kid-friendliness: They actually have a whole shelf of toys by the door”
“Although we have been coming to Duck for a number of years this was our first time in Corolla, and our first visit to Metropolis. Everything was delicious! My wife and I ordered 4 plates to share (yes, small servings but it calls itself a Tapas Bar so that was expected by us). King Trumpet Mushroom Bisque with Crab was delicious...thick, creamy with a mix of great flavors. Mixed Grill had shrimp and tune with a great cumin and garlic yogurt sauce. The scallops were cooked perfectly with a very light blue cheese cream sauce. And finally a flight of chocolate candies with very interesting flavors...everything from dark chocolate with a caramel flavor to chocolate infused with a beaujolais flavor. Overall a fun experience...will definitely be back.”
“Had a great night at Mama Easley's. It was 8-9 years ago that I last stopped in. I had one of the best fish tacos I've ever had. We were back again and I was hoping it was still open. Thank God it was, and it's been thriving. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal, but the hospitality was over the top! It was busy, we had a five minute wait by the water out back and promptly were seated. I was craving for clam strips, they didn't disappoint and the wife had blackened shrimp. I really love calamari, so I made a last minute decision to have those as well and the Siti of the day. All outstanding!”
“Are these the best bagels I’ve ever had? They are good, but probably not the best.But that doesn’t matter. You can tell when you come here and interact with the staff and eat their food that they care about what they do. There is something nice about a business that specializes in one thing.These bagels are outstanding and their breakfast sandwiches are excellent. The staff is very outgoing and friendly. We witnessed them be patient and understanding with small children who didn’t know what to order.Have always loved coming here and I look forward to coming back again.”
“Their meats are sensational, service is exceptional and atmosphere is surprisingly cool. I went to order several steaks for the Holidays and wound up buying many extras. There was a family inside sucking down a few of the local brews. Highly recommend this place (and I am very picky).”
“The golden hour latte may be my favorite coffee i have ever had, I enjoyed the purple haze smoothie which was delicious and filling-the perfect midday snack to keep you going.”
“I was pretty sick last week and we ordered to go a bunch. In a time where it costs a fortune to eat or order out, I have to give a shoutout to Simply Southern in Point Harbor. For the 3 of us, we ordered a whole fried chicken (8 piece), mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw and green beans for just over $40, and we even had leftovers. In contrast, a different night, we ordered 2 pizzas, a side salad and an order of wings, which was over $80. Not hating on the pizzeria, that’s not the point. I’m just saying that Somply Southern does a good job, offers mobile ordering, and is affordable! And they serve breakfast on weekends, which we also had today. It was excellent!”
“We visited this restaurant and bar a couple days ago and it was my first time here.My fellow travelers and I ordered some delicious seafood and some dessert, yummy keylime pie. The cook did a great job. Our server Natasha was nice, professional and just awesome. Her advice about food and our travel was great, as well.No reservation, it is worth for wait outside.I would recommend this little cosy restaurant and bar.”
“I don’t leave a review unless I am thoroughly impressed or unhappy - this place is the former for sure!!! EXCELLENT food, great beers, fabulous service!! Even in the offseason! The crab cake beet and spinach salad was amazing, as was the shrimp street tacos! We plan to come here every time we are up on Carolla!”
“Been here in the past and was great.But - Would be nice if you updated your webpage to show offseason hours!!! When you didn’t answer your phone, finally drove over and saw the posted sign?”
“Live music, very helpful staff, and a great selection including non-alcoholic options ? our charcuterie board was tasty too! We stopped in while we waited for a dinner table elsewhere but will definitely be back just to hang out and enjoy.”
“Best asian food I’ve had in America in years! The dumplings and rainbow roll were fantastic. I always order these when I go to sushi restaurants bc theyre my favorite dishes. I’m not kidding when I say these were the best ones I’ve had since I was in Hong Kong 10 years ago. They were even better than the ones I had in fancy restaurants in New York City.The food came out extremely fast and was delicious. The staff were extremely polite and kind. We will definitely come back!”
“Must try! Delicious food! We had the chopped cheese sub, kids hot dog and fries, Martinsville hot dog, and PK's checkered flag fries! Slaw was unique and really good! Awesome display of NASCAR memorabilia too. Our daughter had a really awesome experience. She got the classic car add on to the kids meal, which she really enjoyed. The owner also let her pick a bracelet and gave her a bag of popcorn to go! We will be back on our next trip to the beach ?”
“Easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and my wife's pasta was also incredible. The atmosphere was classy and our server was top notch. He couldn't have been more attentive, available, and relatable. I can't recommend this place enough.Parking: Plenty of parking out front during the off-season.”
“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.”
“Visited Whalehead Brewery today for the first time, BUT, after an outstanding pizza and cold, delicious tap beer, it will not be the last!!! The pizza's crust was crisp while soft inside with fresh ingredients. Congratulations to Christin, the owner....the brick oven and robot deliverer are the bomb!!! Also enjoyed visiting with our host and friend Kristin. A great place!!!”
“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!”
“Best sushi in the outer banks!!I go here almost everyday on my lunch break, and I’ve gotten to know some of the people who work here and they are just so kind and sweet! And the food is no different! I usually get a California Roll (my personal favorite) and it never disappoints. I’ve also tried some different things from the menu, and all of it has been amazing! The service is great, the restaurant itself is so clean and inviting, overall 10/10 wonderful experience!”
“As a PA native, I'm pretty used to cheese steaks. I don't find them to be anything amazing. This place has as good a cheese steak as you'll find in PA. Lots of options. Decent prices.”
“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..”
