21 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Nags Head

“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.“

“We come to the OBX annually and I’m SO upset that we just found this place! The treats were amazing, the prices were even better, but the atmosphere is what will bring us back every time from now on!! ❤ Can’t wait to put more money in the walls! Not for wishes, but for the mission!! Poor quality photo of the sign, but this touched me deeply! Thanks for what you’re doing and the sweet, delicious gelato that’s so fun to spruce up on your own!“

“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!“

“Oatmilk iced wc and pecan latte. Very good“

“Grabbed the lunch special as a to-go order today. When I got back to work and sat down to eat I felt like I was eating a gourmet meal! I had no idea what I had been missing out on and now that I do, Greentails will definitely be one of my go to spots!!! WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS....wouldn't change a single thing.“

“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 😆“

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

“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).“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“AMAZING place and directly on the beach!“

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

“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!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Walked in 40 minutes before closing to have dinner with my daughter and granddaughter and the staff was absolutely wonderful! And the food was AMAZING! This will be our new go to spot! We even got a complimentary sample of their she crab soup…. OMG!!!!“

“great meal Love the brisket,“

“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!!“

“Beautiful restaurant located on the water with terrific sunset views. We were celebrating my birthday and the evening was perfect! Lauren was our waitress and was absolutely awesome! The band was very talented and had the whole restaurant join in singing me a birthday song. We enjoyed the fried seafood platter and the broiled seafood platter.Both were well prepared. Presentation was excellent and taste was exquisite! We decided on the heath bar cake for dessert but had to get it to go as we were well satisfied.“

“This place has been around for a long time and is very popular for lunch. Their burgers are quite good and their prices are very reasonable. The service is quick. There is no indoor seating, but there are plenty of picnic tables around the building. It reminds of many other burger joints we've visited. No frills but good food for low prices!!“
