“It is a great outdoor dining experience with a water view of the bay. The food is really good. A lot of options for local grilled tuna. They know how to get medium rare tuna exactly right. All the sides we had were equally tasty and well balanced prepared.Highly recommend the dark and stormy for a mixed drink“

“What a pleasant surprise! The smoothies were awesome. The Mahi sandwich and the burger were perfect. They take something so simple like a cheese burger and far exceed my expectations. I'd go so far as to say it's the best burger I remember eating in the last 10 years.Friendly staff, and the deck was delightful to sit out on.Mirro's is now a part of my regular spots I hit on my adventures in OBX.“

“Recently ordered Takeout during my trip, it was my second time ordering from Boardwok. The staff is so friendly, the food is great and comes in a generous portion. The best part is they offer veggie dishes (perfect for non-meat eaters like me) and a doggie treat of boiled chicken and rice! Their dog treat side saved me on this trip because my travel-anxious pup was not interested in his regular food--Boardwok was a life-saver! Will order here every time I'm in town!“

“Huge portions and deliciously lightly breaded, I was happy with my meal. Pricing was a bit higher than expected but made sense when I saw the portion of fish (it was basically 2 meals worth of food)!Hush puppies were tasty and came with honey butter. Overall ambiance is definitely dive bar.Service was good and prompt considering we had a large group, but it was the off season so they were not super busy.“
