“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!“

“It’s definitely the most fun biscuit shop I’ve ever been to haha. Everyone working behind the counter is super friendly, we came on a Saturday morning, so there’s a line, but it moves super fast.
They have the most tender and flaky biscuit I’ve ever tasted, don’t sleep on the chicken, they are delicious. Do buy a drink or bring water though, because biscuits can get a bit dry the more you eat.“
