42 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Kitty Hawk

“Highly recommend Donuts4You! It was in bike-riding distance for my 4 year old and we made several trips during our vacation. They were great with children! And even put my daughter’s donut in its own little box so it would fit in the basket on her bike. The staff was so friendly and attentive. And had so much patience while my daughter decided what to order. The donuts have been fresh every time we got one. Love seeing smiling faces in a local business and to see them be so appreciative of the business. Will definitely go back!“

“What a great experience!! We were a party of 9 including 2 kids and each of us had different meals and they all were great!!! All the food came out hot and all our orders were correct! Marissa, our waitress, was awesome!! She didn’t skip a beat with her service!! Every year when we come we stop and eat at a different restaurant before our check in and we all decided this is our new stop every year!“

“Stopped in today, what a great place. Supports our public servants, great selection of beers and whiskey. Pool tables, football , and shuffle boards. Stop in for a great time.“

“Great staff, good food, seating options.“

“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.“

“Came during the off season, but was a recommendation from the Wild Horse Adventure Tours. The caesar salad was large portion, could definitely split for 2 people. My 11 yr had the classic cheeseburger which he loved said it was not overcooked and great. My husband and I had fish/shrimp and chip platters, nice portion sizes, delish cocktail sauce to dip. Staff was very friendly and service wsa perfect, a hidden gem for sure.“

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

“we love sitting at the bar when it's just 2 of us. Quick service even with a packed house!To many flavors to choose from and full breakfast menu jic you aren't down for a bagel!“

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

“Came in for an early espresso drink and was welcomed by delicious baked goods and smiling staff. Our iced earl grey tea and iced espresso were excellent. They had many goods for sale from local artists which was really nice to see. This will be a regular spot!“

“My husband and I were together long before we finally tied the knot. Whenever we talked about our wedding dreams, it always included the statement, “I want Saltbox to cater the wedding”. When it came time to book our caterer, we knew walking into the tasting that this decision would be as easy as it was delicious. What became a favorite date-night spot, will now always have a forever memory in our hearts because of what Amanda and Randolph, and their entire staff, worked to deliver for us. If you’ve never had an opportunity to experience the creativity, flavor and love that goes into Saltbox’s food, then I strongly urge you to check that off your to-do list. If you’re on the wedding planning journey and searching for a catering company, this should be your first and last stop. Amanda and Randolph were extremely responsive and open to the entire vision we had for our Viking-themed wedding…an evening feast fit for a Viking King. Our goal was to build a seasonal, yet varied cuisine menu that celebrated the local seafood and nuances of Outer Banks and would leave our guests talking about this dinner for years to come. From the detail that was put into our hors d’oeuvres, through the flavorful and perfectly executed plated dinner service, ending with the most decadent spread of desserts/hot chocolate bar (best in OBX of course), we were beyond impressed with every single bite we ate that evening. Additionally, Saltbox provided the best bartenders who executed our fun “his and hers” cocktails and (2) full bars with ease and smiles. We are still receiving endless compliments about how amazing the cocktails were. From Saltbox’s attentiveness during the planning process, to a detailed site visit to review the kitchen/service needs, to a well-executed plating set-up, to each staff member’s warm and professional service style throughout the evening of our event, I would recommend again and again their catering services. The execution, timing and presentation was impeccable – but most importantly, their entire team was such a delight to have in and out of the kitchen as they truly delivered the best feast we’ve ever had. From a professional perspective, I am also a career Event Planner, working to organize events from weddings to high-end galas nationwide – this was hands down the best quality and executed event service I’ve seen in a career of 15+ years.“

“Fantastic food and service! Recommend it for sure.“

“South Beach Grill is a staple during our annual OBX vacation. We order from there 2-3 times during the week. They are fast, friendly, and ordering is easy online. Dinner for our group of 9 was ready for pick-up in less than 20 minutes. Everyone has tried multiple things from the menu and everyone was extremely pleased with everything they’ve tried. My favorites are the southwest wrap, burgers, and Buffalo chicken Philly. Their fries are delicious… especially with their fry sauce or BBQ ranch. South Beach Grill is a must have on your OBX vacation!“

“Had amazing coffee special of the day…mmmm…what a lovely group of sweet souls working that day!! 💜🦄🫧 Three words you must remember …chocolate whipped cream! Great eco friendly accessories too…and I love my mermaid mug so much it’s my profile pic!“

“Excellent breakfast and good vibes!“

“Awesome place - stopped in on vacation and got some ice cream sandwiches and some clothes. Owner was super nice. This is definitely on the list to hit every week in OBX.“

“Steamers catered my daughter’s wedding and the appetizers and dinner food were absolutely delicious! We received so many compliments on the food. The bartenders did a great job too! Highly recommend this caterer! Thank you Steamers! Lisa Pignatelli“

“Great beer. Good times! Lots of space! 🍺“

“We have been getting Duck donuts here at the original store since 2011. Yesterday I went in to get our first order of the vacation week. We always vacation last week of August and it usually includes my son’s bday. He’ll be 17 on Saturday and heads off to college in a year. We told him we will pause OBX next summer since we don’t know exactly where he’ll go to college. I literally cried ordering my donuts yesterday to the owner and how much Duck OBX has met to our family memories for 13 years! Duck is all about traditions to us. Sunrise, sunsets, crabbing, and of course Duck Donuts! We have loved watching this business turn in to a national franchise. What a beautiful success story. 🍩 🍩🍩🍩“

“Our staff and I stopped in today for a well deserved bite and Woo Casa never disappoints! Everything tasted like it should, our drinks were filled and the customer service was outstanding!“

“The food was delish & our bartender, Alex, was great!“

“Great stop for your morning coffee at KDH!“

“Love this place! Fun atmosphere, excellent service, amazing food. The Jerk chicken tacos and fish tacos are delicious.“

“Great food. Best we had on our trip. the shrimp and crab legs brought us back twice. stellar all around!“

“It is absolutely delicious. The people that work there are amazing. The service is great. The food is top of the line. One of my favorite things to do is eat and they make it my favorite place to do it.“

“First time having Nags Head Pizza Company! Quick delivery and some of the BEST pizza in OBX! Pizza is thin and doesn’t come loaded with sauce which is perfect! Absolutely loved the positive affirmations on each box!! This place ABSOLUTELY does it right! Will definitely be ordering again!“

“We ate outside in the afternoon when their appetizer menu was available. Good food, nice atmosphere and service. Crab cakes, crab dip, and Mexican poutine were excellent. Sweet pot bisque was good...2 of our party thought it was too sweet but still good. Sweet Potato Burrata salad was excellent as well.“

“Right on the beach. Good food.“

“One of the nicest waitress "s I have had the privilege of meeting (El"lisa) I wish all treated customers like this young lady. P S good food. Hope yall will take the time to give her a pat on the back“

“Out of all the great places my husband and I visited, this place was a must go to! We visited this place for their amazing shave ice TWICE. It would have been three times, but their customer lines can be very long. Can you blame them?!? The shave ice, no matter the flavor, captures the juice liquid so well, it melts in your mouth and is not overbearing. You don't even get brainfreeze! The ice is truly shaved. Not chunky or snowballed at all. Two thumbs up! We will visit this place AGAIN and AGAIN next year.“

“Amazing food & friendly service! ☺️“

“The tuna bites and blackened tuna sandwich were excellent, delicious and our Server, Kim, was friendly and efficient 😎“

“Great food at a good price. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was fun and laid back. We had so much fun at music bingo last weekend. Adding this to our list of favorites!“

“great meal Love the brisket,“

“This wasn't our first time, nor will it be the last. We love this restaurant. The food is great, the servers are fast, the atmosphere is amazing. The clam chowder is the absolute best.

Parking: If the front is full, use the side next to the outside area.“

“We had breakfast there several times. nice food and good expresso.“

“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.“

“Delicious breakfast and coffee! Cool atmosphere and friendly staff☺️“

“An enjoyable lunch Everytime“

“Follow Triple D and Guy Fieri on Food Network. Went on this recommendation. Worth the 45 minute wait. Had the Cuban Pubwich. Outstanding. Service, staff, atmosphere, of the utmost highest. Will be back.“

“Excellent food with an incredible atmosphere that can only be found in OBX. We come here every time we visit the area, and are never disappointed. We love the option of sitting on the water, and the great service that we receive. We will keep coming back!“

“Amazing service …. NASCAR Sunday!! Crab dip is amazing, highly recommend getting it!!“
