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.

Visited again and as always excellent staff and food. We were seated outside as a big storm rolled in and the staff did a great job moving all the people off the outside seating into the inside tables without much of a fuss. Thank you to the NC Coast staff!

Server warm and friendly. Lot of food choices. Good drinks. Food was delicious. Large portions on dinner entrees. Only 2 minor things: no bread with dinner and only 1 item for dessert (it was very tasty). Looking forward to dining here again!

Ordered the chef's board special and it was a variety of deliciousness! We visit the OBX yearly and we always make sure to eat here. The service was excellent as well.

A lovely date spot, had a wonderful meal. We purchased The Dune and the Mack Daddy cocktails, the Seagood Trinity, and the Carolina Crab Dip, all of which was wonderful.

Had a great lunch! Shrimp and grits were excellent.... my friends had fish tacos and crab dip. . Both equally as good. Serving size was a bit small on fish tacos and dip... but otherwise an excellent experience! Our server, Jacob, was hands down the best server I've had on the Banks.

NC Coast is a MUST when traveling to he northern part of OBX. Get the board - you won't be disappointed. It's the best way to sample all the amazing dishes. Fed 2.5 people. Also, was pleasantly surprised at the cost of the kids menu. Kids loved the food and it was affordable.

Had under-board steamed seafood platter and beignets -excellent! Seated in the corner near the kitchen when waterfront was reserved. Service was slow at start-about 15 min to get drinks-but improved dramatically after another table left. Restaurant is warehouse like so a little noisy. Decent price point for seafood. We will return again next time we're in Duck.

A fantastic spot right on the sound. Food is terrific - try the pork chop, you will not be disappointed. Its basically their take on a tomahawk ribeye only with a tender, juicy porkchop and a 10 or 12 inch rib attached. Both are flavorful and cooked to perfection - no dried out chop here. My only negative is that they don't take reservations in season (beginning April 1st) so we won't get up that way again until after labor day.

Great server, great food. I had the grilled mahi on the grain bowl -wonderful. Others had the fish tacos which looked yummy.

Excellent as always. Best shrimp and grits around. My wife is addicted the salmon dinner, especially the risotto mashed potatoes. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
