“While staying in Nags Head my family and I went to the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. On the way we passed by Outland seafood and on the way back I decided to stop and check them out. I’m glad I did because it was the best seafood of our trip and possibly the best snow crab legs we’ve ever had! We got five pounds of snow crab legs lightly seasoned with some J.O. and steamed to perfection. I was a little nervous about the J.O. on snow crab legs but they were seasoned perfectly not overpowering the natural flavor of the crab meat. The legs were steamed so well that when we got back to Maryland and I ate the leftovers(2clusters, kept refrigerated of course)2 days later, the meat was still coming out in huge delicious pieces! I can’t wait to go back! Great food! Great service!”

“10/10! Incredible atmosphere, incredible serve, and even better food!”

“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.”

“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!”

“I cannot emphasize enough how fabulous our wedding cake was!!! Absolutely gorgeous (beach themed), and the taste was out of this world!!!! (almond cake with almond buttercream frosting) Every one of us agreed that it was the moistest and most flavorful cakes we have EVER had!!! (Tongues were beating our brains out, seriously!) 😋To top it off, we were still eating the cake a week later, and it was still as soft and yummy as the first night that we cut it. If you want a cake that will blow your mind and tastebuds, look no further!!! Melinda will take care of you!!! 🥰”

“Decided to stop by for dinner this evening,walked in and were greeted and seated promptly. The food here is outstanding! The Mahi Mahi and Blackened Salmon wraps were full of flavor and the side of chips with fresh pico de gallo really compliments it well. The nachos were piled high with toppings,and the chicken wings were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. We will definitely come back whenever we come to OBX.”
