Restaurants in Kitty Hawk

“We had a catered boil last night for our family of 11. Brayden came to set up, prepare the food and clean up afterwards. I cannot imagine a more personable and competent guide to the nights festivities than he. We had such a good time, the food was great and we made fast friends with Brayden!!!”

“We came here and do every year because we know the food is going to be a 10/10 ..! Today didn’t disappoint! The blue crabs were as fresh as they get! Added a 1/2 llb shrimp which was also on point. We drove from Corolla to get the best. Want to add the service is also top notch and we love the atmosphere of this little place..”

“I have been coming to the outer banks for the past 40 years. I have passed by Spanky's many times and never stopped. This past week my wife and I stopped in for lunch when we arrived at the beach and loved the food, hospitality, and price. So good we ate there again leaving the beach. Fresh made to order food, great service, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Definitely will be on our restaurant list from here on out. I just hate we never tried it before now. Great place!”

“Great atmosphere and the food was amazing!”

“My husband and I had 3 appetizers and the crème brûlée. Every bite was delicious. We had the lollipop lamb, oysters Rockefeller, and poutine. We enjoyed the lamb so much, we ordered it a second time. While so much on the menu looked great, we only had the appetizers and closed out with the crème brûlée (also delicious). We sat at the bar, but took note of the general ambiance and found that it would work well for couples or families. We will definitely include a meal here on our next OBX trip.”

“Awesome service, ribs, Coconut Shrimp & Seafood Gumbo was fantastic! Dessert was outstanding…..Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie served on mini skillets with ice cream and cool whip!”

“HIGHLY recommend!!!! The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was super inviting! The service was INCREDIBLE in every aspect! All the staff were super attentive and very friendly! 5/5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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 😊”

“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.”

“Great food as always! Huge shout out to Mason for coming up to brave my lunatic dogs…well actually just the short one the frenchie is nuts. Athena our pitbull the calm one tried the Athena pizza and thought it was to her standard. (I loved it)”

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

“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.”

“The ice cream was absolutely delicious. Parking is very limited but we circled the block and then came back and found a spot. Ice cream is creamy, rich, and the best around. We will definitely be back when we are back in town.”

“We are here twice during our week in Outer Banks. The service was fantastic! The employees are all so sweet and accommodating. The food is also fantastic. I definitely recommend paying them a visit if you are craving yummy sushi.”

“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!”

“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!!”

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

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

“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.”

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

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

“The best new place on the beach!”

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

“We picked the spot for our big "family dinner" during our OBX vacation. We arrived right at the start of dinner with a party of nine. They seated us quickly and each option was better than the last. My son-in-law proclaimed the hush puppies the best he'd ever had, but the Mahi Bites and Duck Wontons were fabulous as well and the Pineapple Chutney on the Coconut Shrimp was fantastic. That was just the appetizers! Every entree was great; the Crab Cakes came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They were paired with the Filet Mignon for a great Surf and Turf. Others had the NC Shrimp & Grits and Crab Alfredo. No one was disappointed! Just a heads up that there are no reservations. We were fortunate to be seated in arriving at the start of the 5:00 p.m. Dinner Menu. The line formed soon thereafter.”

“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!”

“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”

“Tried the Black Pelican for lunch during our November vacation. Nice atmosphere, good service and we loved story behind the name. Food was pretty good. Enjoyed the Hatteras style clam chowder. We didn't try them but the desserts looked wonderful. Also had a gift shop with BP and OBX things. I even found a hot air balloon puzzle box which was amazing!.”

“Vilai Thai Kitchen is 100%!!🙂”

“Our first visit was absolutely awesome. Everything was perfect from the small wait time to the blueberries on the pancakes. We will be visiting again. I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent establishment.”

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

“This is a great Wendy's. Always clean and well maintained. The food is good, well prepared. The manager is very friendly and attentive. Gave the atmosphere a 3 just because, hey, it's a fast food restaurant.”
