7 Best Vegan Restaurants near Kitty Hawk

“Delicious! I think that is the best word to describe the experience. It was packed when I went with my family, and from the moment we entered, the smell of fresh, freshly made food enveloped us. I mention this because I am very susceptible to smells, and my tasting experience begins with aromas. I also have to highlight the service, which is excellent. When you enter they ask you for a table for how many people and help you choose the place. We were served pretty quickly, everything was hot and freshly made. Be sure to order the fries, they have a technique to sauté them with garlic and cilantro and they still remain crispy, they are phenomenal!The nacho starter was enough for me as a main course. My husband ordered the burger in a tortilla. I tried it and it was equally delicious. He was also satisfied.Vegetarian options: Mexican food with vegetarian optionsWheelchair accessibility: The entrance from the parking lot is fully wheelchair accessible.“

“We have been going to the Rundown Cafe for quite a few years and they never disappoint. They are our top "go to" restaurant in the Outer Banks. They recently renovated and overhauled their menu. So far we like the changes. They still have Fried Chicken Mondays. The chicken is excellent and could possibly be the best meal value in the OBX. Andy was our waiter and he is both personable and efficient. Keep up the great work!“

“This place is flying under the radar. We sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and attentive without being invasive. Great drinks. Delicious meal. More baja or California style tacos which is what we prefer. Loved it! Can't believe it took us so long to go!“

“My husband and I had the opportunity to dine here yesterday, while visiting from Charlotte . Our server was an amazing young man named Jason. When I shared with him that we were extremely pleased by our experience and the amazing food, he shared that he was the son of Liz, the owner, and that his uncle worked there as well. I asked him if I could meet his mother to tell her how pleased we were. She graciously came out of the trenches of the fryer to speak with us. I commended her on her amazing restaurant, food quality , humility and resilience. This place is a definite destination anytime we are in OBX! Food and service were impeccable!!!!! Definitely recommend “

“Barrier island bagels has the best bagel sandwiches I have ever had. I would highly recommend the hangover cure with scallion cream cheese! The restaurant is adorable! My friends and I have been here twice on our vacation and we have loved the food each time. The only downside to Barrier Island Bagels is that the service can be unpredictable. On our first visit the service was nice. In our second visit, service felt more hostile. The employee who sat us was very welcoming! Unfortunately, at times; it feels that being served is an inconvenience. It is worth the uncomfortable service because the sandwiches are incredible.“

“The perfect cake for our wedding!Candice was great to work with. She was very responsive and helpful at all times.My husband and I ordered our wedding cake from Sweet Coast Cakes In September 2023; it was the best decision we could have made when picking a wedding cake vendor. Starting with our cake testing, all the flavors were delicious, but the vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream was beyond delicious; it was the best we had ever had. Further, the design of the cake was flawlessly executed.The cake was delicious and gorgeous, and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend Candice at Sweet Coastal Cakes.“

“Cafeteria style. Pancakes were the best. 5/5 for pancakes. 4/5 for omelettes. We got the veggie and gyro omelets. Cheesy and well stuffed. Just needed a little more seasoning. Overall good experience. Definitely recommend this diner and I would visit again.“
