“Every time we’ve been here we’ve been impressed!! It’s a hidden gem from a lot of the touristy places on the main strip. Breakfast especially is delicious! Even while we stayed in Duck we made the drive just for the breakfast. Fresh made biscuits, hand pattied sausage! Prices are fair and portions are great for lunch dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend!!!“
“Absolutely fantastic Little getaway hidden in Manteo if you have the pleasure of getting Holden as your bartender you are in for an absolute treat he is one of the best mixologists on the Island food is always fantastic staff is absolutely incredible!!!!!!“
“Loved it! Was sent here by a local. We pulled in and saw all local tags and we said this is a good place. The food was great, especially the country fried chicken. Had the same dish at Darrel's, while their's was good, T. L.'s was excellent. Our waitress was awesome and very friendly. The price was really good for the portions. Actually had quite a few leftovers. I have to say, the corn nuggets had to be one of the best sides on the menu. Had a great time here. Definitely will be back!“
“This place was very hyped up and highly recommended. It was indeed delicious, with excellent, friendly service too. The prices are a bit on the high side and the atmosphere was crowded and loud; not the best "date night" choice.We ordered the famous cheesesteak egg rolls which were one of a kind and deliciously gooey. The entrees were both yummy too. Overall a good restaurant, but didn't *quite* live up to the hype for us.“
“We just finished an amazing dinner while on vacation! This is a true hidden gem off the beaten path. The service and food were exceptional and I can’t wait to go back! If you are looking for a tasty meal with great ambiance, I recommend you head here soon! We even got to meet Chef Randolph! Absolutely delightful!“
“This place is amazing! I was visiting the OBX for the week and decided to stop here and I'm so glad I did! Everyone was so friendly and the sandwich's were massive and delicious! They also sell surfing spoon ice cream sandwich's which is a plus!“
“OMG! was joking with the owner tonight while I was in to pick up our 1st pizza from here that we haven't found a great pizza in OBX. WELL NOW WE HAVE FOUND THE BEST! The crust was absolutely amazing! I am picky about sauces and this sauce was the best ever. Cannot recommend enough!“
“The two things we didn't like. One cheese sauce used in the omelet was not good. The toast was hardly toasted it might have been cheaper for business to throw two pieces of bread on the plate because that's what it basically was. Over all this place has good food good corn beef hash and I would recommend. They just need to tweak what they do a little.“
“Amazing food and great prices and super friendly staff and lots of televisions to watch sports and drink your favorite beer I also got to watch unc chapel hill win against nc state while I ate my dinner we will be returning here again in the future.“
“Stopped in for dinner with family, we expected a wait since it was Easter vacation..but even with that it was only a 20 minute wait. Seated upfront.. our server was very friendly, professional and helpful.. a basket of delicious hush puppies were brought out, only issue was for 4 of us we were fighting over who would eat more than 1..since only 6 hush puppies brought out for 4 adults , if it wasn't so busy I would had requested another basket. And would had paid extra if needed" they were that good".. they were definitely the best on the beach I've tried . The meals were fried shrimp a little greasy but tasted really good and a baked potato hit the spot, I opted for a salad with yummy ranch dressing, it was fresh and a nice portion. We had seafood sampler fried and the other broiled which the others seemed to really like, also a broiled combo with scallops, shrimp flounder which tasted delicious and a small medallion sized crabcake ..that crabcake was the only thing not really enjoyed..had a fishy odor and though it did not have a lot of filler it just tasted off ( this could be because crabs aren't in season right now and we knew and expected they are made with frozen. ** As locals we knew that may be the case, and I'm certain in the summer months they are excellent..now as for the desserts they were to die for.. chocolate cake wow! It could had fed 3.. the cheesecake also a must try..in general this was an excellent place to come in for a wonderful OBX style seafood meal.. prices are comparable to everywhere.. I highly recommend checking out but also suggest if you want to get a good seat and have it more low-key dinner..go early. bon appetit ""“
“Good for the price. Decent wine list. Food is acceptable but not really French.Good effort in the decoration for making it welcoming and cozy.We had a lovely time celebrating my Dad’s birthday.This is one of the few fine dining establishment is OBX.“
“Kid-friendliness: I highly recommend Owens for dinner. The food was delicious with generous portions. My husband had the shrimp and grits, I had seafood pasta , and my daughter had the kids chicken fingers and fries. We added two side salads. Dinner came w rolls and hush puppies. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS.the staff was soosweet, accommodating and supportive. The restaurant was beautiful and charming. We plan to go back again“
“A large group of ladies were treated nicely and received separate checks. Katia was an attentive and pleasant server.Vegetarian options: I’m sorry the portabello sandwich was not on the menus but the full plate was both lovely and delicious“
“We went here multiple times during our week stay in Kitty Hawk. First, the donuts were unmatched in terms of variety, quality, and taste. We loved picking a variety dozen and trying multiple flavors. A couple favorites were the cookies & cream (Oreo), maple bacon, and chocolate glaze with peanuts. In my opinion they are best fresh, so eat there if you can!My only issue with this location was the self-service kiosk. It was really finicky and slow (both sides but especially the side away from the entrance) so unless that’s fixed I’d recommend ordering at the human counter.Dietary restrictions: I did not see any options on the menu for gluten or dairy-free, but didn’t ask a staff member if they had options for these restrictions.“
“Cute little place with just what you need! A quick meal, refreshments, and desserts in one place! Found it by accident but will definitely look for it again! The grease spot in the wrapper is always a sign you're about to eat something your soul desires!“
“Mama kwans welcoming and friendly. My wife and our dog were able to sit outside. They offered a dog bowl with water too. The nachos were fantastic and the fish tacos were great! That white sauce was phenomenal and not overdone. Our Chicken sandwich was a little late to the party but after we split the nachos and tacos it was enough for two. We took the big kahuna to go and would absolutely return.“
“We sat on the back deck and the view was stunning!!! The food was good. I got broiled scallops which were fine. Not bad at all but not the best I've ever had for sure. I actually was very impressed with the mixed veggies and will try and recreate them at home because they were delicious. All of my kids ordered from the kids menu and there were no complaints. Fries were very good. My husband had the fish sandwich and said it was also fine. Tarter sauce was excellent!“
“This is a place with the essence of the Outer Banks, from the music and atmosphere, to the flavors. The service is excellent, the burgers are delicious. Ideal to go after work or to have a good time with friends. Too noisy for meetings. I do not recommend bringing children.“
“We had a delightful time today at Landing Grill. The food was delicious and the service was superb! We had the shrimp salad plate, turkey Rueben and chicken parm sub. Everything was delicious, and the sides available were great, including sweet potato tots, fries, cucumber salad, Cole slaw and pasta salad. We cannot say enough good about it. Thank you everyone for a great culinary experience! ?“
“This was our second visit to the Beachside Bistro - once in October, and again in late November. We found the food to be excellent! We did breakfast in October and brunch in November. The breakfast burrito (a regular breakfast item) and a selection from the new brunch menu - smoked, pulled pork over fried grit cakes with bourbon bbq sauce are our favorites so far! This hidden gem is well worth a visit!“
“I live in KDH and think this is best pizza in my area. This summer has been a bit difficult to order a delivery pie, because this pizzarea is sourounded by 23 to 30 bedroom homes. Today, I asked if they could par bake my pie at 5:30. They did, and 3 hours later I cooked it on my own 500° pizza stone. It was fabulous! Thanks .folks...my ordering practice has changed.“
“"Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies Mend your own fences and own your own crazy Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy" (Kacey Musgraves) What you'll see here: A gas station A big rack of porno magazines A food counter with fresh biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, deli meats and sandwiches Fried Chicken Mac & Cheese Beer & Wine A big convenience store A Playboy magazine with Donald Trump on the cover on display right next to the sign that says "Sexual Harassment will not be reported, but efforts will be graded" Biscuits N' Porn swag We picked up two biscuits for lunch and they were dirt cheap at a buck each.“
“This was a local favorite diner type restaurant. We had the regular egg, breakfast meat grits or hash browns with biscuit or toast. The portion sizes are generous. The biscuits are large but just ok. They have plenty of options including omelets and lunch specials.Parking: This restaurant is in a shopping center and has plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: They cater to families.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access but the entrance is narrow and they encourage customers to wait outside so there is no overcrowding.“
“Exactly what you want from a beach grill. Good fresh options, friendly staff and lots of space for capacity. As a local, this is definitely one of my favorite off-season locations. They have a local discount also, which is helpful.I've been multiple times and I believe that the Caesar salad here is among the best on the island. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.Also they recycle their oyster shells, which is really great for the environment. Thanks to the North Carolina Coastal foundation for being so wonderful.“
“While visiting the OBX, my wife had a taste for fried chicken. We found the Cookshak while conducting a Google search and figured we would give it a try. The chicken was moist and Juicy inside but crunchy on the exterior. The seasoning on the coating was extremely tasty. I have eaten many pieces of fried chicken in my lifetime, but this was definitely one of the best pieces that I have ever consumed. I enjoyed the chicken so much that we purchased a "whole bird" to take back home with us. We will definitely return when we visit the OBX again.“
“Great locally-owned pizza restaurant with a variety of sandwiches and appetizers too. Good selection of draft beer, several can / bottle options plus wine. Small, friendly place offering dine in, take out and delivery.Several TV'S usually with a variety of sports.“
“We were looking for a place to grab a quite bite for lunch. When we got there we were greeted by a wonderful server who got our drinks very quickly. All the food options looked delicious especially the burgers. The food arrived quickly and my Irish bbq burger was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the table was very impressed with their food. I cater so i consider myself somewhat of a food critic and everything i tasted was phenomenal. The flavors blended together very well. Will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends that visit the outer banks!“
“This classic Southern joint seems to be packed all year, regardless of beach season or not! Warm welcome, military and veteran discount, super friendly smiling waiters and waitresses! Ours was a superstar super pretty waitress, with an art museum's worth of tatts on her arms, a smile on her face, and always checking up on her tables. We were there for breakfast and were not disappointed! I had eggs, corned beef hash, pancakes, and grits (of course!). It was huge, and I couldn't believe how affordable! Also had a side of hush puppies, which were delicioso! They also have a full bar on the premises, and there's plenty of free parking off the main drag on Nags Head.“
“My favorite place in Nags Head NC. The folks there are kind happy and excited about you visiting the restaurant just tell them Ricky Keating sent you.Vegetarian options: Lots of choicesDietary restrictions: Salad galoreParking: Yes big parking lot get there earlyKid-friendliness: Game roomWheelchair accessibility: Yes ramp outdoor“
“From the Boston area, spending Jan & Feb in Kills Devil Hills. Read good reviews and stopped in for dinner. We sat at the bar had a beer and ordered the tuna entree with Brussel sprouts, red pepper risotto, and an order of fried oysters. All were excellent! Highly recommend.“
“Vegan options were so tasty. Also I love their French fries. I know I shouldn't judge a place just on their fries but they're seriously so good. Good beer options and local sodas. The atmosphere is also nice and not cramped.Vegetarian options: Their vegan or vegetarian options are great.“
“I had the best tuna steak of my life. The tea wasn't as sweet as I would personally like it, but it wasn't bitter. The portion sizes were fairly priced and the fish was incredibly fresh. Our waitress was very kind and gave us space to enjoy our meal. 10/10 definitely recommend going if you're going to Nags “
“Snow Bird Burgers & Cones is the best place to eat at the OBX!! Awesome food and delicious ice cream!! Staff is friendly and eager to please!! The owner is on site and a wonderful addition to the overall cozy and comfortable feeling you get when you go there!! Absolutely the best fried chicken sandwich anywhere!! We visit this place a few times when we visit the OBX!! Best place ever!!“
“Great atmosphere. I really like the whole surfer thing. Lots of old relics liter the bar. Service was good. Place was rather empty so seating and parking was a breeze. We got their wings and they were awesome. I liked the sweet sauce (there was a hint of spicy) but the char was what made it. Good selection of local craft beers as well.“
“Every year, my friends and I would choose one night to have cocktails and dinner at Chilli Peppers Coastal Grill in Kill Devil Hills OBX!The food, service, and atmosphere have always provided a fun time accompanied by EXCELLENT food... A tradition we've held for over a decade was to gather on the ramp (to the side of the restaurant) and snap a picture, marking another year of friendship and fun times in the Outer Banks! (see attached photos)...This is a restaurant that has become part of the fabric of our vacations and one that I truly enjoy spending time at!“
“Best little breakfast deli in the OBX!!! Me and my fiancé come here almost every morning every time we visit the outer banks, and the food is always amazing and not over priced like a lot of other places around here. We've also come here for lunch too, and i love their fried seafood baskets, i particularly like the fried oyster basket, they definitely give you your moneys worth in food. There's not really anywhere to sit inside since it's more of an in-and-out type of place, but they do have picnic tables right outside that we sit at when it's nice outside. The people working here are also always so nice and welcoming, which always makes us wanna come back too. This place is 10/10 and I rave about it to everyone.“
“We came here for a quick stop to grab some ice cream, but we ended up having two ice creams each, and order of fries, a burger and a pizza. The owner was so passionate about his food and it definitely shows, because EVERYTHING we ate was AMAZING.The fries were oven baked and were super crunchy.The PIZZA is a must try, all ingredients felt as fresh as they come.“
