“We had a delightful time today at Landing Grill. The food was delicious and the service was superb! We had the shrimp salad plate, turkey Rueben and chicken parm sub. Everything was delicious, and the sides available were great, including sweet potato tots, fries, cucumber salad, Cole slaw and pasta salad. We cannot say enough good about it. Thank you everyone for a great culinary experience! ?“
“O'Neal's Sea Harvest is a retail seafood store and restaurant. There are maybe 10 tables inside to sit and eat lunch. During the warm season, there is outdoor sitting as well.During our visit in February, the kitchen closes at 3 pm. We had the fried flounder and fried shrimp baskets. The food was delicious and very plentiful. In addition to seafood, they offered: hotdogs, hamburgers, chicken, wraps, and various salads.There is a handicap ramp, but not a defined handicap parking spot.I highly recommend this location for fresh seafood both to eat there and to take home.“
“This was the best meal we have eaten in OBX in a long time. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the staff were great and provided excellent service. The food was amazing and it had some of the best twist on some classic dishes. We will definitely be making this a regular stop.Overall, one of the best dining experiences in all our trips down. The chef even stopped by our table to ask how our meal was and chatted for a bit. Loved every minute of this experience.“
“This is the kind of place that many people would drive past. It has a very laid-back look. There are a couple of handicap parking spots. Tortugas Lie was recommended to us by a friend in the restaurant business. So we tried it. It was fantastic. We had a local beer. We had the white pizza and a portobello sandwich. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Tortugas Lie if you are 8n the Outer Banks area.“
“Kid-friendliness: I highly recommend Owens for dinner. The food was delicious with generous portions. My husband had the shrimp and grits, I had seafood pasta , and my daughter had the kids chicken fingers and fries. We added two side salads. Dinner came w rolls and hush puppies. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS.the staff was soosweet, accommodating and supportive. The restaurant was beautiful and charming. We plan to go back again“
“Oh my! So fresh..so tasty. Absolutely wonderful little place. I wish I were in this area more often, because I could absolutely eat here at least 3 days a week.Cozy, fun, beachy atmosphere.I had the Tuna Pokè Bowl and oh ... The flavors blended perfectly! Yum!Everyone was so friendly and welcoming!“
“Fried oyster plate hit the spot. Fries were slightly greasier than I like, but that’s my only gripe. Oysters were delicious. Slaw was KFC style, but less sweet and lighter on the dressing, which I found to be much preferable. Service was impressive with courtesy and timeliness. The bar area had nice decor and decently comfortable stools.“
“We are from MD, and are usually disappointed with seafood from the Carolina's. Not with this place! No wait, and beers were good as well. The snow crab legs we very tasty, the waterfront scallops were even better. The baked potato which is usually an after thought, was just perfect. We liked it so much we went twice within the week.“
“To begin this, me and my girlfriend go down to this area once a year and have turned it into one of our favorite traditions. Last year we saw this place but unfortunately didn't have time to make it by before leaving. The menu looked fantastic and we were so sad we didn't get to go. This year we made it a point we had to go. We went to the aquarium previously and called to verify the time they opened, and that's when we found out they start taking names an hour before opening. I'm so glad we made it a point to be there early for the list. We got there within 15 min of them taking names and got on the list and went to the around back bar, before we got our drinks we could hear the wait was already estimated at almost 90min, but it's worth it! Really nice concept by the way, with the people waiting being able to sit outside on the pier with the bar beforehand. Once they opened we were seated within about 20min and the service was phenomenal, they try to seat you by the window if possible first. Very polite and friendly staff, not to mention they are on the ball! We had drink orders and apps in within a few minutes. Both the app and the entrees were phenomenal! We had the hot crab dip appetizer and we both got the 'Tale of the Whale Special' with the only difference being that she got the standard filet and I upgraded to the 16oz Prime Rib. We could not have asked for the food quality, seasoning, and cook to be any better!! You certainly get what you pay for!! Probably my favorite meal of a week long trip and one of my favorites of 2023! Also worth noting that the way this place operates is like nothing I've seen locally, not just for us, but everyone we saw, they were constantly on top of not only service but cleaning as well. Within a few moments of someone getting up to leave the staff would come clean up, have the table reset, and someone seated seamlessly. They were so efficient that even when we left the wait hadn't gotten any longer while people were still piling in! Needless to say, we will be back next year for sure!! If I could give it 6 stars I would!“

“I'd heard great things about Greentail's from friends, and then read a great writeup about this spot in a recent issue of Our State. So, yesterday I headed to Greentail's with a friend who also enjoys checking out a new place for lunch! We loved it. The Coconut Curry Fish Soup with Dumplings was really, really tasty and I also enjoyed my Shrimp Tacos with Collards. I brought home a meal for my husband - Fried Shrimp with Coleslaw and Collards, and my friend like their Fried Fish Tacos. Portions are generous, especially sides which is rare for area restaurants. Thank you Greentail's! Greentail's is a friendly spot and the three owners are present, visible and running everything. It was fun to talk with them about the menu and they make delicious, creative food. It's nice to see not only Outer Banks Specialties but an Asian and Hawaiian influence as well. Greentail's offers fresh fish as well as prepared meals, and the spot was crowded. There's indoor and outdoor seating and the atmosphere is casual. The food is serious though - great taste, seasoning and creativity for sure. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!“
“Dillon was our waiter, and he really went above and beyond. His recommendations were also on point. We started with a dozen oysters (a buck a shuck). No pic, we devoured too fast, but super happy we listened to Dillon and tried the lemon honey horseradish sauce. Excellent compliment to our oysters. I got the tuna sashimi appetizer as my entree. That was awesome and PLENTY of food. The hot mustard in the coleslaw, delicate tuna, just really made it. My hubs got the seared shrimp pasta. The light cream sauce just pulled that dish together. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the flavors delicious. We will definitely be back! Sorry for the lighting on the pics.“

“Excellent seafood restaurant on the coast. If you're looking to get an Outer Banks experience, highly recommend this place. Claire N was my server and she was terrific. She went out of her way to make sure that I was satisfied with my food and service. Claire personifies great service and is a role model in that regard. The crab pretzel is an absolute must; it's so delicious.“

“Wow!!! What an awesome place. I got the last Cobia they had and it was delicious!!! I also got 20lbs of fresh shrimp at their amazing prices and I’m so happy with the quality of them. To beat it all, I made a mistake when ordering the blue crabs, but they made it right with no questions asked. When ordering, I asked for the blue crab price and the guy said $30 for a dozen. Not thinking, I said I’ll take 30, meaning $30 worth, but of course, the guy thought I meant 30 crabs. When I went back to inquire about my charge, without hesitation, the guy understood my mistake and refunded me the amount I asked for even though it was my mistake!!! There are details I’m leaving out because I don’t want anyone to take these people for granted, but I just had to share how wonderful these people are!! Awesome, outstanding place and I will never buy seafood at the outer banks from anyone else!!!! Incredible service and I wish I could give more stars!!!“

“Amazing food. Busy place, ordered soup & salad with grilled shrimp option. the she-crab soup was full of crab and very tasty. The owner was friendly and surprised with a basket of delicious hot hush puppies. The gals like the honey cinnamon butter that accompanied them. Quite busy with sit down and take out orders. If it wasn’t raining we would have sat outside in the quaint Al fresco dining area, near the sound. The gals had the shrimp with pineapple mango sauce wrap. And a side of sweet potato fries. So good. And the homemade banana pudding. Treat yourself to a quart to go. It is worth it !“
“Every aspect of our experience here was wonderful. The hostess was very friendly on the phone and was able to get us a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. We went early to enjoy a few cocktails at the bar and we were seated moments before receiving our first drink! The cocktails were amazing and the service was even better. Our waitress (I unfortunately can’t remember her name even though she gave it) was terrific! We will definitely be back!“
“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.“
“Every time we’ve been here we’ve been impressed!! It’s a hidden gem from a lot of the touristy places on the main strip. Breakfast especially is delicious! Even while we stayed in Duck we made the drive just for the breakfast. Fresh made biscuits, hand pattied sausage! Prices are fair and portions are great for lunch dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend!!!“
“Delectable tasty place in Wanchees. Intimidating at first as you hardly can see the open sign and when you walk in the ordering process is hard to comprehend. Walk right on through and a cashier will be on your left. Menu board straight. Seating area front and in the back past a merchandise area. Shrimpbasket is fresh and plentiful. Clambasket as well. Coleslaw creamy, French fries okay. The staff über friendly and ready to serve and help. We bypassed the dessert but were told they were all homemade. Highly recommend.“
