“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!”

“My husband and I were looking for a local place to have lunch.. he wanted a burger and I wanted seafood. Dune Street was the perfect spot to get something we both wanted. Our service was great, the food was delicious, and we were really happy with our dining choice! We will definitely be back next time we visit the area!”

“Awsome food, had the Blackend Mahi over cheese grits with mango , jicama poblano salsa. friends had burgers barbecue, everyone was very happy with there purpose. Will be back. service was also very good, fast and all the ladies checked on us.”

“Get here as early as you can as once the night hits, it's crowded - but it all makes sense as the FrYo is delicious and the atmosphere is on point. Don't forget to leave a donation on the wall, ceiling or anywhere as it's for a great cause. Friendly staff when we attended and very helpful. Very organized layout as well. You pay by the oz / weight. Enjoy!”

“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.”

“Stopped here on our first day of vacation 5/12/25. Wait staff were very friendly, service was prompt, and the food was delicious. Mac and cheese was the best I’ve ever had. The jerk chicken wrap and chipotle steak wrap were amazing and the pico with the chips was very flavorful. We would definitely come back again.”

“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!!! 🥰”

“Today I ordered a beer, was handed the beer for which I paid $5 which I had in my pocket. however while I was getting my wallet out of my bag, to get more money for a tip, apparently not fast enough, cause he quickly and loudly commented, "thanks I'll try not to spend the tip all at once. i was dumbfounded!! i wasnt even given the chance to tip. which I did... a $1. told him not to spend it all in one place. Despite this, other staff was great as was the food.”
