“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 😊“

“After exploring the town of duck via the boardwalk it was refreshing to be greeted with such a courteous staff that allowed me to sit at the bar for some time waiting on the dinner menu to become available. It was a unrushed, inviting experience that was made even better by one of the best steaks with fresh vegetables that I have had the privilege to consume. Great upscale environment, courteous staff and topped off with amazing food made for a time that I will be back soon to duplicate.“

“You know it's good when the police and fire department frequents it! I found their $8 special burger, fries and drink to be an awesome deal. The burgers are top quality beef, cooked to perfection, and with a hefty amount of fries. Find myself going there way too much!!“

“The food is phenomenal. Try the Hawaiian Pork Platter. OMG deliciousness!! And the staff is on their game - friendly, casual - all around great service. I will be back EVERY time I’m down here! Yummy.“

“Great burgers! Wait staff was fantastic. They were also very accommodating for a shellfish allergy and used a pan on the grill and changed gloves, as to not cross contaminate.(kitchen is open, so I watched the process) Also the waiter immediately told me I wouldn’t be able to eat the fries due to cross contamination and subbed a salad for the same price. We will return on our next visit.“

“Our dining experience was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was flawless—attentive without being overbearing. Both of our entrées were perfectly prepared and full of flavor, clearly made with care and attention to detail. This restaurant strikes the perfect balance of comfort and quality, and we look forward to returning.“

“We have been to Steamers on several occasions. Every time we have had amazing service. The food was sensational. The service was outstanding professionally courteous and provided great ideas. We will definitely come back.“

“Y'all, it's a deli counter inside a gas station. If you understand that going in and adjust your expectations accordingly, you'll have a MUCH better day. The food is BANGIN' though, so stop by, fill up your tank, get you some biscuits and gravy, and take it to the beach for some soul food in the sand.“

“Ordered breakfast sandwiches, smoothie and donuts from Kill Devil Hills location today. Asked for ketchup for the sandwiches and they said they had none and do not plan on providing ketchup in the future. I am a local. May not come back if they do not provide ketchup. Large double storefront just opened here in KDH and plenty of room for inside tables but no tables. Hopefully these issues will be corrected so I can take my granddaughter to this store again.“

“They got some really good fish tacos I'll tell you that much.“

“Easter breakfast was our first time at Henry's. It was by far one of the best breakfast experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel like family. Christina couldn't have been more accommodating...making sure everything was to our liking, without being overbearing. And it was the little things that mattered. May sound silly to most, but having syrup on the table for your flapjacks...when ordering hot tea, they bring you a cup of hot water, a tea bag, PLUS a silver container of hot water to place your "used" tea bag in, should you desire another cup of tea. Also, creamer was right on the table. The menu even made sense...build your own omelet.....you pay for what you want! It seemed like all the Employees chipped in. I never saw anyone just standing around. We will certainly be back, and refer folks we know to Henry's. Thank you.“

“Amazing Food!! The Ron Swanson burger is banging!“

“We ended up here randomly...the most amazing bartenders, food, vibe...as a Chef visiting the area ..it gives me hope about real a$$ food. Kudos guys!“

“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!“

“We ate here on Friday Oct. 20. Bartender was super friendly. Highly recommend the clam chowder, best we've ever had. I had the Grouper special and it great. My wife had the Tuna, was super pleased, cooked perfect and not many places get it right. They did. Chef was great to talk to. She explained a lot as we sat at the bar waiting for our food. Backyard bar was our kind of place. The band had to cancel because of rain but It would have been a great place to see one. Will go back next time we are in Duck. Thanks for a great experience.“

“the food was great and the service was friendly and knowledgeable.“
