Awesome nostalgic beachy spot with great prices and one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Similar to In-N-Out if I had to compare it to another burger, and honestly maybe better which is saying something. Nice staff, I hope I get to go back at some point.
An OBX classic, my family has been coming here for their legendary crab cake for generations. This spot has such a laid back atmosphere to it. You can feel the salty spirit of the OBX back in the day before it got so crowded. The picnic/eating area makes for a really campy setting, great for editorial images.
John's is always an annual stop on my beach vacay! I happened to go after Labor Day, so parking wasn't an issue, but in the height of the season, be prepared to walk-up, as it was originally intended, I think. I always get the dolphin sandwich, french fries (it was plenty for two meals) and chocolate/banana/bluberry shake. Sometimes the fruit can get stuck in the straw, but I will take the sacrifice for its deliciousness !
