Restaurants in Nags Head

“The best food I’ve ever had in my life !! Will definitely be back!! Make sure yall ask for Brian 😉”

“We returned to the Outer Banks last week after a 20 year hiatus, remembering Tortuga's Lie as one of our favorite places to eat. We ate there on the second night of our stay and no one in the family was disappointed. I had the grilled salmon salad special and coming from a tough critic, it was DELICIOUS and did not disappoint! Everyone enjoyed their meal and the "vibe" was just the same as we remembered. We can't wait to visit again.”

“Love this place! Always the freshest food & so good every single time…we eat here regularly and Steven is the nicest person we’ve encountered since coming here 😊”

“Overall, not bad. There was a funky smell coming from the duck claw machine and the tables weren't the cleanliness. However, it was a fun time for a small swanky stop.”

“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!”

“Best sushi I’ve ever had! Our meal came quickly and the staff was really nice! Patrick Kavanagh”

“Last night was our last night here and the wife and I decided to give this a try. I can’t say enough good about the service (Jade was awesome), food was delicious (scallops were on point), and the location was perfect with a wonderfulview. (note the picture).”

“There is nothing like it! Dirt is famous for reasons you know as soon as you open the door to enter 😅 A local hangout for a reason with locals and travelers alike having their own mug on the ready for their return. The root beer was great too. You won't forget the experience and you'll be back!”

“Stopped in on the last day of vacation and absolutely loved it! Good service and great food! Everything tasted super fresh. Can’t wait for the next visit.”

“Tremendous on all accounts!… fantastic cocktails, delicious food, superior service, and an amazing view. I have never enjoyed waiting for a table more!…sitting outside under the gazebo on the deck that stretches into the sound, wonderful outside bar (try the Chocolate Martini!), and Yacht Rock over the speakers. We could have stayed out there all night and been content. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t say how great the food was inside, and the service was impeccable. (Richard was our waiter, and he is a GEM! Excellent service like he extended to our group is a lost art.) Can’t wait to see you again next year!”

“Our food was amazing and the guy at the cash register was probably the friendliest and most helpful person I've ever experienced at a restaurant!”

“Once again …you never disappoint with your pizza. Ordered our regular sausage & mushroom plus tried the Supreme. Super hot, crusty & easy to pick up. The topping were perfection. Still the best pizza & friendliest staff on this island. Thank you once again. Never ever disappointed.”

“BEST GF/DF pizza I have ever had, amazing and now I want to move here just for the pizza!”

“Excellent food with great service at a reasonable price, cannot ask for more.”

“We absolutely love the upper deck! It has amazing views, so dog friendly and the food/drinks are amazing! We love the orange crush it’s the best drink! This is a favorite for us!”

“Not only is it the best place to grab a sweet treat, it is one of the best run businesses I have ever seen. Everyone that works here is extremely friendly and treats you like family, that’s hard to find these days. Huge shout out to the spoon crew!”

“Stopped for the ice cream fell in love with the cookies. The ice cream is from a NC creamery and I recommend the Lemon Crunch 🍋 But the cookies are a blessing for your taste buds. I got the coconut cookie and my husband raved about the white chocolate macadamia. I wish we had tried this sooner... but it's 10 miles down the beach 😆”

“Oatmilk iced wc and pecan latte. Very good”

“My niece and nephew loved their ice cream they got! My niece got the playdough flavor and my nephew got the peanut butter caramel cookie dough flavor. Great staff and great vibes! Definitely will be back!!”

“I got hooked on açaí bowls this summer and was delighted to find two locations at OBX! Tried both locations and had a bowl every day we were there on our 3 day trip. Service is friendly, fast and accurate. My family and I had açaí bowls, smoothies and ice Cream between us and everything was delicious. It was a nice, cool place to hang out and enjoy our treats and it was so cool to see local art displayed for purchase. Will definitely be back again.”

“My beautiful friend ordered a surprise cake for me, for my birthday. I wish I could add a photo to my review because it is gorgeous. My friend told me it was fun talking with the lady she ordered from. The cake is one of the best I’ve had, and I love cake ❤️ Thank you”

“The LOBSTER ROLL is the BEST!!! Ignore any comment about price or size....it is WORTH IT! So delicious and the roll compliments the flavors so well! It's the first stop when we roll into town on vacation! So much love and good food from this shop! Perfectly situated on the Beach Road...don't let the small business fool ya!! They pack an amazing punch!”

“Had amazing coffee special of the day…mmmm…what a lovely group of sweet souls working that day!! 💜🦄🫧 Three words you must remember …chocolate whipped cream! Great eco friendly accessories too…and I love my mermaid mug so much it’s my profile pic!”

“Stopped on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Very cute inside. Very friendly and accommodating. Ordered an iced Americana & it was perfectly strong and bold! Daughter ordered a vanilla latte and was highly satisfied!”

“Love this place! Always the freshest food & so good every single time…we eat here regularly and Steven is the nicest person we’ve encountered since coming here 😊”

“AMAZING place and directly on the beach!”

“Exceptional breakfast everything was cooked to perfection and hot when served. Our waitress Crystal, was super cheery and wonderful. Highly recommend!”

“The employees couldn't have been nicer. Portions are generous, and the ice cream is very good. We even were able to get pup cups for our pups. One of them has a sensitive stomach, but we had no issues.”

“Absolutely recommend! Can’t meet nicer staff or owners! This stuff tastes amazing!”

“Had my first Booty Treat tonight, was amazing!! Definitely try the freeze - has both shaved ice and ice cream pieces! I enjoy the watermelon shaved ice, the other avors are so amazing.

There are 2 locations, the other location is a bit larger and has a merch shop.

Go for the cold sweet treat after dinner.”

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had! Wish we could take it all home! ❤️ While here we tried Choco Loco (if you love chocolate this is the one for you), Banana Pudding (delicious), peach (incredible!), Coco Loco (so good!). Everything is made fresh - and they are so welcoming! Highly recommend.”

“Everything we ate was delicious. large portions of food and the fried green tomatoes were scrumptious. very friendly staff”

“I tried the Oreo milk tea when I went, it was pretty good but may need to update their hours because I went , online says they close at 7 but I think they close at 6”

“5 out of 5 STARS….. We are here on Vacation and have ordered from Pizzazz 3 days out of the 4 days. Pizza was amazing and the sub and salad was also excellent. Will eat here again next visit to Nags Head”

“The server was SO nice and I love tacos at Los Antojitos OBX! Great spot, right off the bypass. Y’all should give them a try!”

“Had you soft shell crab tonight they were delicious. Thank you”

“What a great place. Amazing food staffed by good people. Never disappointed.”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Came here for vacation n wanted to stop n see how good the ice cream was I got the Carolina peach n blueberry burst flavors they were some the best flavors especially the blueberry it was probably the best blueberry ice cream I’ve ever had I got em in a waffle cone n it was freshly made really great 10/10 would love to go back!!!”

“You know it's good when the police and fire department frequents it! I found their $8 special burger, fries and drink to be an awesome deal. The burgers are top quality beef, cooked to perfection, and with a hefty amount of fries. Find myself going there way too much!!”

“I had a wonderful omelette made with fresh vegetables and turkey bacon. The fresh pressed juice was so delicious. As a person with food allergies, Freshfit has many options for me. They offer vegan and gluten free items, plus turkey sausage or bacon instead of pork. We can’t wait to eat there again on our next OBX visit!”

“Wonderful customer service! Ordered 7 subs, staff carefully prepared each sandwich exactly as ordered. Each staff member was great, very helpful. Recommend this location. Thank you!”

“The absolute best fried chicken! All of the sides are excellent! Service is always fast and polite!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Really good ice cream with friendly folks behind the counter. It's inside a Forbes store. They have a mini cup as well as small, medium, large. Good variety of flavors, in and out quick.”

“We had dessert there last night and it was fantastic! Great ice cream and milkshakes. 😍😍”

“I had the best veggie Subway sub I have ever had while visiting Nags Head. I regularly have a Subway veggie sub three times a month at my favorite place and local shop, while very good, can't compare. The young woman who prepared it was very polite, smiling and friendly and piled on a volume of each of my vegetables. The sandwich was so thick I couldn't finish the whole 12-inch sub in one sitting which is a rarity. Everything was fresh and the bread was perfect. We go to OBX every year and I know where I'll be getting my lunch!”

“Lovely ladies! Great cooking! Awesome prices!”

“great meal Love the brisket,”

“🍕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️great pizza and service”

“Beautiful location especially the pier and sunset views. Bartender was super kind and attentive. The waitress seemed stressed and you can tell they were a bit understaffed. I had the crab cake, very nice and thick, full of lump crab meat and not overly greasy. The louder was a bit overcooked but wonderful flavor. We chose the keylime cheesecake for dessert, needed more key lime flavor but wonderful texture. I would suggest maybe coloring sheets for kids. Overall everyone enjoyed their meal and time.”

“Awesome delicious FRESH food! We were here for over a week...after 2 meals there...well then we ate EVERY meal there. Breakfast, lunch, n supper!! Only place to eat for us!!”

“Traveling from Italy with my family...
This was the best burger we've ever had!
Loved the american style place and wow what a flavour!

Looking forward to go back one day...”

“Loved it! The strawberry refresher was awesome”

“Best pizza in the OBX. Freshest ingredients, clean restaurant, and affordable prices. If you’re looking for the best pizza in the OBX this is it.”

“Absolutely enjoyed our dining experience. The food was amazing as well as the service. Highly recommend this place.”

“I’ve been coming to the Outer Banks for 30 years. I remember getting the best burger on the OBX at this restaurant. Apparently they have stopped serving food. That is not the issue. I called up to ask if they no longer serve burgers, and was told “this isn’t McDonald’s”. I don’t appreciate being spoken to that way from a worker of a restaurant I want to spend my money at. If they can’t train their staff to have better customer service, I cannot imagine how poorly they treat customers at the restaurant. Very disappointed.”

“we go every time we make a trip there, but last week we had a extra awesome waiter that we adored. he went above and beyond and was super friendly!! love the food and the portion size. Definitely worth a visit”
