11 Best American Restaurants in Kitty Hawk

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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..“

“Great atmosphere and the food was amazing!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😊“

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

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