“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 just a gas station convenience store that found a gimmick, ran with it and it seems to be working for them, so good on them. There's a small rack of adult magazines sitting next to the door whose only purpose is to satisfy the name. I guarantee you they're selling far more food and branded merchandise than they are porn.

That being said, we did enjoy our visit. The food was good and at a decent price. The staff were very friendly (not THAT kind of friendly. Get your mind out of the gutter). We bought merch, because of course we did. How could you not? The seating inside is VERY limited. There were 3 four person booths and 2 two person booths. That's it. So, it's better to get take-out then try to eat in.“
