One of our regular spots to visit in Rodanthe. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Outdoor seating only. All the food is excellent!

We had the worst experience here. The staff were not friendly or helpful whatsoever. The worker with the sleeve tattoos was incredibly rude to us and said, "We don't need your business; we have plenty of business," when all we did was ask for help. He said, "This is like any other fast food place; you order your food and go sit down. Are you guys dumb or something?" The staff was so rude I can't believe it.

We had the absolute worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. Went into the restaurant tonight because our airbnb oven was broken so we needed food for4 kids and 5 adults asap. My aunt is hypoglycemic and needed food right away. Immediately we went in the exit and the man at the front was livid even though it was completely empty in ther entire place. We proceeded to go out the entrance and read the menu and enter thought the “correct” door. My aunt asked how the ordering worked and the man working the front desk said “what don’t you get? Have you ever been to McDonald’s?”. He proceeded to be so rude to us that we left the establishment. I have never written a bad review or walked out of a restaurant. Maybe the restaurant is okay, but the man working needs to find a new gig. Absolutely revolting.

There was a tiny menu posted on the wall that several people were huddled around trying to read. I had to stand several feet back and couldn't see the small font. I waited several minutes, but ended up leaving without food.

CRAB CAKES ARE PHENOMENAL! Quite literally the best I've ever had. And I travel for a living. The sunset views were incredible, relaxed and serene sound side, outdoor seating. Spicy tuna bites to start, they were seared perfectly, very flavorful and melt in your mouth.
We had the Surfs Up Seafood platter w/ choice of mahi mahi blackened, as well as the Signature Watermen's Burger. Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious! All rounded out with a nice glass of wine and cocktail.
We're so happy we found this food Mecca while traveling down past Hatteras Island/Rodanthe. It was nice to be out of the "touristy" hustle and bustle yet still have an incredible, fresh seafood, dining experience!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp leading to front door.

This was near the place we were staying. You order inside and get a number to put on your table for server to bring food. Great selection of seafood, was so good we went twice during our trip. Had seafood platters first trip, and salads with Tuna on the second. All food excellent. Great views with a covered patio as well as non covered seating overlooking the sound, great sunset. Everyone was super friendly and helpful

Stopped here on our last night with our big group of 10 adults and 2 kids. Beautiful space located right on the water with lots of a space for the kiddos to run around. This is an order at the counter and then sit down kinda place so they have large menus on their walls to review before heading inside plus a QR code for mobile viewing.
We all got something different but the food was a little underwhelming, but being located in a small beach town I was quite satisfied. I'll remember the space, atmosphere, and forget the food but it was an enjoyable experience. The seafood was fresh and cooked well, they had a good variety on the kids menu too. Servers were constantly moving through all the tables, checking to see if anyone needed anything, clearing plates, etc. only reason I mention this is due to the nature of the counter ordering, you normally don't see the front of house staff being so attentive, and they were all incredibly friendly.
Parking was fine while we were there, but I can imagine during the peak summer season it gets very full very quick as it also shares space with a watersports park.
