I actually was very impressed with the mixed veggies and will try and recreate them at home because they were delicious. All of my kids ordered from the kids menu and there were no complaints. Fries were very good. My husband had the fish sandwich and said it was also fine. Tarter sauce was excellent!“

“Exactly what you want from a beach grill. Good fresh options, friendly staff and lots of space for capacity. As a local, this is definitely one of my favorite off-season locations. They have a local discount also, which is helpful.I've been multiple times and I believe that the Caesar salad here is among the best on the island. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.Also they recycle their oyster shells, which is really great for the environment. Thanks to the North Carolina Coastal foundation for being so wonderful.“

“While visiting the OBX, my wife had a taste for fried chicken. We found the Cookshak while conducting a Google search and figured we would give it a try. The chicken was moist and Juicy inside but crunchy on the exterior. The seasoning on the coating was extremely tasty. I have eaten many pieces of fried chicken in my lifetime, but this was definitely one of the best pieces that I have ever consumed. I enjoyed the chicken so much that we purchased a "whole bird" to take back home with us. We will definitely return when we visit the OBX again.“

All the food options looked delicious especially the burgers. The food arrived quickly and my Irish bbq burger was absolutely delicious. Everyone at the table was very impressed with their food. I cater so i consider myself somewhat of a food critic and everything i tasted was phenomenal. The flavors blended together very well. Will definitely be back and recommend to all my friends that visit the outer banks!“

“This classic Southern joint seems to be packed all year, regardless of beach season or not! Warm welcome, military and veteran discount, super friendly smiling waiters and waitresses! Ours was a superstar super pretty waitress, with an art museum's worth of tatts on her arms, a smile on her face, and always checking up on her tables. We were there for breakfast and were not disappointed! I had eggs, corned beef hash, pancakes, and grits (of course!). It was huge, and I couldn't believe how affordable! Also had a side of hush puppies, which were delicioso! They also have a full bar on the premises, and there's plenty of free parking off the main drag on Nags Head.“
