“There's nothing low about this country boil, it is all high caliber. I ordered a sample of all they offered and everything was fresh. Even the andouille sausage's spicy flavor was a pleasant surprise. Quantities were ample. Condiments were provided. Their boil seasoning is steps above Old Bay, with a slight kick depending on how much you use. I utilized their suggestion to use their signature brew for the boiling. On the subject of brews, I partnered this feast with their popular and equally flavorful Taco Life Mexican style lager. On top of everything mentioned, I now have a souvenir bucket in remembrance of a great meal.”

“Outer Banks Boil Co. did the catering (low boil and bbq) for my son’s rehearsal dinner and I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!! Absolutely amazing to work with! Not only did the come, set up and cook an amazing meal, they also walked around to make sure everyone had everything they needed, encouraged them to go back for more food AND they walked around collecting plates, cleaning up and asking if our guests needed anything! When they left it looked like they had never been there but our very happy and full bellies were thrilled that they had catered!! And don’t forget to add on key lime pies for dessert—absolutely delicious! Great service, great prices and incredible hospitality!!”

“Celebrated my birthday at Salt64 as our first visit to the establishment. Exceptional service, David was an outstanding waiter. Food was delicious, brought promptly to our table still hot and fresh out of the kitchen. Due to its size, when all tables were full it was a bit noisy, but well worth the noise for the food and service. Don't skip dessert!”

They also have a GF menu. The waiter was super nice she checked the items to make sure I could eat them and even brought me GF and Dairy Free waffles that was not part of the thanksgiving buffet menu. The chef came to check on us a couple of times which was really nice! Great service and food! Thank you!!!”

“My last couple of subs didn’t have much lettuce and I like that crunch so…….this is what you get if you click on “extra lettuce”
Haha There was like a pound of lettuce inside the sub then another pound on the outside!?!?!?!
The sub was good and of course I didn’t eat all that lettuce but it was hard to enjoy wondering what other pranks might have been done while making this sub!
And yes we do tip on online To Go orders.”

All flavors were good with the wing sizes themselves being large than average! My and my family were pleased. If I wanted to be critical, I would say we needed more sauce on the mild, hot and bbq but not a whole lot more.”
