“This was our 3rd year having dinner from Outer Banks Boil Company. We look forward to this every year and once again they did not disappoint!! Brayden was wonderful!! Such a delightful young man, very personable! Food was absolutely delicious! We have already started counting down the days to our next dinner!! Great job!!”

“Absolutely one of my favorite places! We discovered this hidden gem a few years ago and have made it a must on every vacation! This year we introduced our one year old twins to it and they too fell in love!”

“Great atmosphere and the food was amazing!”

“Had lunch the other day! Nice vibe and super friendly staff! Ordered the Bang Bang shrimp and it was perfect. Crispy and just the right amount of heat. Shared the crispy chicken salad because it was such a large portion, and it was plenty for 2 at lunch. Very delicious”

“We make sure to get fried oysters every time we're in town but decided to dine in this time. The food was amazing, but beyond that, the customer service was well-worth mentioning. Our servers were very welcoming and friendly, offered samples and recommendations, and were incredibly quick! 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Absolutely fantastic food & service. We drove from Corolla on a whim and decided on The Pony & The Boat and so glad we did! Everything we had was delicious and plentiful...the Creme Brulee, let's just say I could eat it on the daily. Will definitely return! 10/10”

“Colby is the best!! Pizza is delicious!!”

“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.”

“This place is awesome!! My grandson loves their Mac and cheese and chicken!! We go there quite often !! They are friendly and the best customer service!! It is worth every penny!!”

“Yum! Pizza was delicious, the delivery time also was pretty quick. I would recommend the garlic cheese bread and the pepperoni with bacon, as well as the pepperoni with ground beef”

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

“So let’s just starting by saying this , myself & my family have been going to Hurricane Mo’s for around 8 years this year . We love it here, from the food to the atmosphere, & the staff . We recommend it 100% of the way. We went there today for dinner and there was a lot of “new faces” working there but one stuck out to me. We had our daughter with us (who is 11) ask me about one new worker there on why her butt was eating her shorts . And as it caught my attention, not only was her butt legit eating what shorts she had on not to mention they looked dirty & the were ripped to show her upper thigh, & by the way she was walking around sticking out her tongue to play with her tongue ring . I’m not being mean by any means when I say legit this waitress looked like a lizard walking around sticking out her tongue to play with the barbell . Every time we have been there in the past we couldn’t have asked for a better family spot to go out to eat . So I ask the “owner/manager” please have a talk with the lizard waitress on Atleast wearing shorts that don’t eat her booty & show her upper thigh off . Thank you ! & we do look forward to coming back for the good food 😊”

“If you’re looking for cold beer, a/c, and a great atmosphere; this is the place. Very clean, very friendly. I definitely recommend the his for a place to just hang out and drink.”

“We went for lunch. I got the chicken and broccoli and a spring roll as well and it was all good. My fiancé got the teriyaki chicken box and that was good as well. Overall, the taste of the food was good, but the lunch portions are a bit small, so if you are very hungry I would suggest ordering a couple of things.”

“Food and service were fantastic. Our waitress was efficient and friendly, the owner or manager was also out helping doing things like cleaning our table when I spilled a drink and refilling drinks. We tried a mix of all things and loved them all- pulled pork, fried chicken, collard greens, hush puppies, ribs, fries, brisket and sweet tea. Also all of this less than hour before closing. Thank you!”

“Stopped in while on vacation, first time for us but won't be the last. Had acai bowls the first night, they were fabulous! Came back later that week for smoothies after a run, they were also fantastic! Shop was clean and everyone was friendly, highly recommend.”

“Awesome awesome awesome! The lobster tail is unbelievably delicious! The cinnamon buns are ahhh mazing! The sugar cookie with sprinkles, perfect! All these years coming to the OBX and driving past Tullio's...oh what I have missed!! I highly recommend this bakery. Bring your patience because it is a small space and there are others there to also indulge, but I promise it's worth the time and effort to purchase these treats!”

“Awesome time! In town for family vacation. Music bingo and dancing was awesome.”

“Thank you so much for making my mom’s 70th birthday so wonderful! Everyone was blown away by how gorgeous and delicious the cake was!”

“Great menu. Would like to go back several times to try most of their offerings. We had very nice salads, and the whipped goat cheese with fig spread. Unbelievably delicious.”

“Delicious meal with amazing service! Totally unexpected in a beach town! Outstanding!”

“Capt'n Franks - always a favorite when visiting the OBX! The service is great and the hot dogs are even better!”

“The best new place on the beach!”

“🚨 🚨 ‼️ ‼️ 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! 🍻 🍸 🥃”

“Excellent place to grab lunch and dinner. We regularly come here and enjoy it every time!”

“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!”

“Yummmmmmmy! Best milkshakes in the universe!!! Go there!”

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

“Extremely good, fresh food! The owners and staff are super friendly and I eat here several times a week! Don't sleep on this OBX gem! <3”

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

“Got takeout on this cold cold night…delicious, reminds me of my MIL’s kitchen 😇”

“My family wanted to do Indian for dinner tonight and there's usually not much around this area. We came in and it was immediately very welcoming. I forget her name, but the lovely women at the front was so nice and so passionate about the food here. She let us know about all the options and substitutes they do, and she knows her stuff. The food was excellent! we had the garlic naan, the chicken tikka masala, samosa chaat, lamb rogan josh, and the rasmalai. All of it was wonderful. They even had French fries for my toddler. They even put it in the fridge to cool it down for her (it had just come out). Im pregnant and can't have too many spicy foods, so their mild spice was perfect. Not spicy at all, and even my husbands medium spice was tolerable. All around a great time and will definitely be going back. Check this place out if you can, it's now in the top 3 of my OBX favorites!”

“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!! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀”

“Vilai Thai Kitchen is 100%!!🙂”

“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!”

“Dog friendly deck seating makes Shipwrecks a great option. Oh, the food is delicious too! The staff is great and friendly.”

“Drive thru excellent. Person taking order so friendly and kind. Person taking payment super friendly…smiling. And person handing out food so pleasant. They all seem to work together so well, like they love what they’re doing…..”
