“Johanna’s Catering is absolutely incredible. Easy 5 stars all around. We booked them for both our rehearsal dinner and our brunch the morning after our wedding, and they exceeded expectations at both events. The staff is amazing, the customer service is top-notch, and the food… absolutely outstanding. Every detail was handled with such care, and their team went above and beyond. Everyone was SO nice!! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! If you’re looking for a catering team that is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Johanna’s Catering is the one.”

“Great food and great place, because the owners make it that way.”

“Fresh fish. Yummy dinner!!”

“Exquisite cuisine prepared by the finest chefs in all of wanchese, hoping to have them in time magazine, person of the year. As a world acclaimed food critic and cuisine connoisseur i have to say, that without a doubt; this is by far the best restaurant i have had the privilege of dining in all 7 continents of the world. Absolute and total perfection.”

“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.”

“Very busy in the evenings with a line out the door. They had enough flavors to choose from- Think Orange Leaf style custard.

Seemed to be a favorite amongst the kids and locals. They have some outdoor seating where you can sit and enjoy your selections but honestly with the toppings bar you really want to hang back and wait for people to add on their toppings before you approach if you don't want your custard to melt.

I was mindful of this and had noticed some slower moving, indecisive individuals (do we really need toppings?) and my custard still was melting quickly after a few steps out of the door.

Recommend getting there earlier in the evening when it's less busy. Also observed a mom that dropped their 8 year old off at the ramp and the kid darted off in front of us, cutting us off as we were about to enter the ramp. The mom parked and then joined her son afterwards (really? Lol)

I guess what im trying to say is if you're over 21 and grown but still want to enjoy some treats you should try to go earlier than later to avoid some of the riff raff 😂”

“The best food I’ve ever had in my life !! Will definitely be back!! Make sure yall ask for Brian 😉”

“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!”

“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 😆”
