“We ordered inside and sat outside in the back because we had our dog with us and Arts Place has a wonderful backyard for furbabies! When our food was ready they called us to come up front to pickup, the inside dining room was full. The burgers were delicious as always. We stop here a few times a year!“

“We had a reservation and were seated immediately by a server. After several minutes we were approached by the host, who apologized for being on the telephone when we arrived. He assigned a waiter to us and also provided a delicious complementary appetizer of crostini, warm olives, red peppers, roasted garlic and onions and goat cheese, thus eliminating the need to order starters. Our waiter Tom was menu knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We were a table of three and each ordered a different entree. The lamb, steak and pork chop dishes were all cooked to perfection and delicious. The leftovers reheated for lunch the following day still tasted wonderful. If I had to list one downside to our evening, I'd mention that the park bench like booth seats were terribly uncomfortable for the couple of us with little posterior padding! Other than that, a splendid, un-rushed, delicious evening.“

“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.“

“BACON PEPERJACK BURGER, FRIES AND GRAVY... $9.46 TOTAL.Fries were frozen but were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They appear to use a dusted/crushed salt as opposed to more course traditional fine table salt. The dusted approach has the entire fry surface covered but never at the expense of being over salted. They got the science right on the fries few places figure this out and for the record frozen fries almost always have a snappier bite than fresh i have no issues with frozen fries. Kudos!Burger was well cooked and flavorful... no fancy bun or anything so this isn't gourmet burger its just a proper burger cooked properly, which I think makes this place 5 stars as the price after tax was very good considering the economy and touristy location.Good parking, order sent to your table, servers check up on you. Good seating design no log jam areas and plenty of intimate 2 person tables.I mean... I could disect it further but what's the point I already highly recommend this establishment.“

“We were seated quickly and the host was up front saying they were busy and it may be a bit of a wait to order (which it wasn’t!) Food was great & I loved that they offered healthier options! Our waitress was very kind & welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“Wow A small little gem on the outer banks. Have seen this place for years and finally eaten there. I have wasted alot of time not eating here. Food is authentic, tasted fresh and staff is awesome. Great date night or small party. It's a small place so come early. It is well worth the wait. I would drive 1 hour 45 min from home to eat here when craving authentic Italian food.“

“My wife and I were looking for a unique local eatery that stood out. We were looking for unique flavorful food for an early dinner and TRIO looked interesting. As we walked in, the shop was to the left and the eatery was to the right. But, right in front of you is a selection of fine cheeses that would make any charcuterie board jealous. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, we choose to sit inside and we were quickly greeted and brought our drink orders. We spoke to our server about some of the items on their small but delicious menu and we agreed that this odd little turkey and strawberry Panini looked interesting and full of flavor. So we went for the Panini with an iced tea. The tea was herb infused. After taking my first sip I knew that whoever was planning the menu was paying attention to the little details that make a difference. That attention to detail was really evident in the Panini too. The Brie, Pepper jelly, fresh strawberries and turkey came together in the perfect pairing. A pairing that, while outstanding on its own, would have been a true home run when paired with the right beer or wine. That was my mistake not theirs.This is an establishment that I will definitely return to.Once you finish eating, head over to the shop for a great selection of true craft beers and fine wines. They offer true craft beers here, not just the beers that have been bought up by Mega Corp beer companies that are trying to pass off extract flavored beers as craft beers.Do yourself a flavor and make the time to visit TRIO on your next visit to the Outer Banks.“

“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!“

“We have a rule not to eat anywhere twice with so many options and we're here for a year on work assignments. Well we broke the rule because this one is so delicious! Excellent service, food so tasty, good portions and decent prices. I'm sure we'll go again before leaving!“

“Stopped couple of times for lunch during recent off-season (early May) trip to OBX. Very consistent food quality, smallish but competent menu with several bona fide vegetarian options. No wait (probly gonna change in season), fast and efficient service, good value. Easy to get in from bypass and Beach roads, on-site parking, wheelchair accessible (for most part). Swear, the same people were sitting at the bar pre-Covid, talking about same stuff.“

“Have to admit, I didn't have high expectations and I rarely ever post about an establishment unless I'm really amazed, but this small family restaurant superceded any expectations I would have for a Thai restaurant. Food and service was great! Wish I took pics, but I was so into my food lol.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Pho“

“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.“

“My family loves traveling to OBX and each time we go we always strive to try new places. Luckily, this was just walking distance from our hotel and they did not disappoint! Service was welcoming and great. I loved how you walk in and are reminded of being a friend’s southern backyard bbq, and the fact that your food already comes in a to-go box which makes it easy if you can’t finish it all.“

“We ended up here after our plans to eat at another restaurant fell through. We were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant!Don’t be put off by the fact that it is attached to a gas station. We wondered about that too.The dining room is small an intimate. Our daughter is very sensitive to loud noises and was able to relax here as the music was soft and the dining room quiet. There are maybe 8 or 9 tables and a few bar seats to sit at.The food was great. The service was great. The scallops my wife ordered were some of the best she has ever had.And for a bonus, a review from my 11 year old son:“This was a very good restaurant, it’s very underrated, it’s quiet, the food comes out quick, and they’re playing college basketball on the TV, plus the food is the best.”This restaurant will definitely be on our list when we vacation here again in the future.Kid-friendliness: Quiet space. The staff was great with our kids.“
