“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!”

Beer Flight

“Went over to the pizza shop right beside this place which by the way the pizza is excellent!! Different review though... Heard the barker calling us to the bar to try a beer, usually I am not one at all for craft beers but gave him a shot. I ordered a sample of the kill devil scotch ale and was truly blown away!!! It was unlike any craft beer I have ever had and I am now searching to find where I can buy some for home!!!
Atmosphere was a nice little hole in the wall with a little bar and a good few taps of beer. You can sit inside or take your beer out on the deck to enjoy the beautiful view.
The taste of the beer was fantastic. Had a bit of a strong backing like scotch does but some earthy chocolate notes by me. I would love to try their other beers so I am searching for them online as I write this!!!
Cheers and thank you to the barker who turned me around for craft beers!!”

“Fantastic Birthday Dinner! Took my husband out for his birthday dinner and we had an amazing experience. He ordered the Red Drum special and I had the Tuna Steak, hands down the best tuna I’ve had on the beach! It was a super thick cut, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. We started with the hush puppies, which came out piping hot and were served with delicious honey butter, such a treat! For dessert, my husband had the lemon pie and I had the banana pudding. Both were the perfect sweet finish to a great meal. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy. We’ll definitely be back!”

Despite this, other staff was great as was the food.”

(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!!! 🥰”

“Out of all the great places my husband and I visited, this place was a must go to! We visited this place for their amazing shave ice TWICE. It would have been three times, but their customer lines can be very long. Can you blame them?!? The shave ice, no matter the flavor, captures the juice liquid so well, it melts in your mouth and is not overbearing. You don't even get brainfreeze! The ice is truly shaved. Not chunky or snowballed at all. Two thumbs up! We will visit this place AGAIN and AGAIN next year.”
