The price of the food was very reasonable, and the staff were super friendly! They are based out of a convenience store as well, so we got some energy drinks to go with our sandwiches. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend dropping in for a tasty meal!“

“My review is for the humanity the owner has shown. I was reading my latest Readers Digest when an acknowledgement was submitted about how the owner Kevin had driven 6 hours one way to deliver what was basically an elders last meal, because it was her last wish…to have a pork tenderloin meal from this establishment. If some day I travel SE from Indiana and anywhere near I will definitely stop to support. Well done my man.“

“Awesome chili cheese fries, burgers, hot dogs (Carolina Cooley 👍🏻), hush puppies, etc., oh and sundaes too!!“

“Glen was a great server! Good was delicious. Vibe was perfect.“

“Ordered breakfast sandwiches, smoothie and donuts from Kill Devil Hills location today. Asked for ketchup for the sandwiches and they said they had none and do not plan on providing ketchup in the future. I am a local. May not come back if they do not provide ketchup. Large double storefront just opened here in KDH and plenty of room for inside tables but no tables. Hopefully these issues will be corrected so I can take my granddaughter to this store again.“

“Great menu. Would like to go back several times to try most of their offerings. We had very nice salads, and the whipped goat cheese with fig spread. Unbelievably delicious.“

“We had a great experience yesterday with this crew. We found 4 dolphins and ended up following a pod of 3 for a good 20 minutes. It was relaxing and entertaining. We learned about info about the area and how the container ships dock. Would totally go out with them again!“

“Great atmosphere and the food was amazing!“

“Had lunch the other day! Nice vibe and super friendly staff! Ordered the Bang Bang shrimp and it was perfect. Crispy and just the right amount of heat. Shared the crispy chicken salad because it was such a large portion, and it was plenty for 2 at lunch. Very delicious“

“we went here for lunch and absolutely loved it! we tried the ice cream, homemade pizza, chicken, sundae, and burger. everything was incredibly fresh. staff was kind, friendly, and attentive to our order. since it was raining, staff offered to bring our food to us in the parking lot. the pizza especially was flavorful, well-balanced, and not too heavy or greasy. we will certainly be returning!!“

“They got some really good fish tacos I'll tell you that much.“

“Had the pizza delivered on Friday night to John Yancy Ocean front Inn. The pizza was there within 35 minutes maybe sooner . The ingredients were fresh the pie was delicious. This is our new favorite pizza restaurant. I even ordered one to take back home.“

“My daughter and I ate there and the food was great! Our server, Haley, I hope I spelled her name right, was so nice. We love everything about Darrell's and will be back on our next visit.“

“So let’s just starting by saying this , myself & my family have been going to Hurricane Mo’s for around 8 years this year . We love it here, from the food to the atmosphere, & the staff . We recommend it 100% of the way. We went there today for dinner and there was a lot of “new faces” working there but one stuck out to me. We had our daughter with us (who is 11) ask me about one new worker there on why her butt was eating her shorts . And as it caught my attention, not only was her butt legit eating what shorts she had on not to mention they looked dirty & the were ripped to show her upper thigh, & by the way she was walking around sticking out her tongue to play with her tongue ring . I’m not being mean by any means when I say legit this waitress looked like a lizard walking around sticking out her tongue to play with the barbell . Every time we have been there in the past we couldn’t have asked for a better family spot to go out to eat . So I ask the “owner/manager” please have a talk with the lizard waitress on Atleast wearing shorts that don’t eat her booty & show her upper thigh off . Thank you ! & we do look forward to coming back for the good food 😊“

“Easter breakfast was our first time at Henry's. It was by far one of the best breakfast experiences we've had. From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel like family. Christina couldn't have been more accommodating...making sure everything was to our liking, without being overbearing. And it was the little things that mattered. May sound silly to most, but having syrup on the table for your flapjacks...when ordering hot tea, they bring you a cup of hot water, a tea bag, PLUS a silver container of hot water to place your "used" tea bag in, should you desire another cup of tea. Also, creamer was right on the table. The menu even made sense...build your own omelet.....you pay for what you want! It seemed like all the Employees chipped in. I never saw anyone just standing around. We will certainly be back, and refer folks we know to Henry's. Thank you.“

“Friendly staff nice ambiance, cool setup“

“Amazing Food!! The Ron Swanson burger is banging!“

“Had a really excellent brunch style breakfast...pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, hash browns with bananas and whipped cream on the side. Wow. Everything was super. The hot sauces are great too. Outstanding service even though the place was crowded. My only complaint is the place is kind of cramped and noisy but that's obviously how their customers like it!“

“Great place to pick up an outstanding breakfast burrito. I came to eat some breakfast on the porch with my dog. Very friendly people that brought out a bowl of water for my pup and checked on me frequently. Coffee was great too! We will be back 🌯🐾🥰“

“We ended up here randomly...the most amazing bartenders, food, vibe...as a Chef visiting the area ..it gives me hope about real a$$ food. Kudos guys!“

“Good food and service but kitchen closed at 4 pm on Fri!“

“Let’s start with saying the waiter had excellent customer service . And when we received our food its was delicious. The waiter checked on us often and very nice partying words .“

“Ortega'z - what a GREAT gem! Heard about this restaurant on Guys Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives; and boy, it not disappoint! The pulled pork nachos appetizer was absolutely HUGE and AMAZING! YES, all caps is necessary. We also ordered two entrees - fish tacos and also Buffalo chicken tacos. Both came with 3 tacos, and rice and beans. Everything was so delicious and the portion sizes were great! Great prices for the amount of food you receive. Oh, and the service was great also! Will be returning very soon!“

“Dog friendly deck seating makes Shipwrecks a great option. Oh, the food is delicious too! The staff is great and friendly.“
