10 Best American Restaurants in Kitty Hawk

“Back today, softshell crabs and steam oysters. The best! Sorry on photo, started eating before the photo.Great service. Fresh, and very good soft shell crab. Steam oysters best I have had in the past year. Big plump oysters from this immediate area.“

“We had a reservation and were seated immediately by a server. After several minutes we were approached by the host, who apologized for being on the telephone when we arrived. He assigned a waiter to us and also provided a delicious complementary appetizer of crostini, warm olives, red peppers, roasted garlic and onions and goat cheese, thus eliminating the need to order starters. Our waiter Tom was menu knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We were a table of three and each ordered a different entree. The lamb, steak and pork chop dishes were all cooked to perfection and delicious. The leftovers reheated for lunch the following day still tasted wonderful. If I had to list one downside to our evening, I'd mention that the park bench like booth seats were terribly uncomfortable for the couple of us with little posterior padding! Other than that, a splendid, un-rushed, delicious evening.“

“We ordered inside and sat outside in the back because we had our dog with us and Arts Place has a wonderful backyard for furbabies! When our food was ready they called us to come up front to pickup, the inside dining room was full. The burgers were delicious as always. We stop here a few times a year!“

“We were seated quickly and the host was up front saying they were busy and it may be a bit of a wait to order (which it wasn’t!) Food was great & I loved that they offered healthier options! Our waitress was very kind & welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“BACON PEPERJACK BURGER, FRIES AND GRAVY... $9.46 TOTAL.Fries were frozen but were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They appear to use a dusted/crushed salt as opposed to more course traditional fine table salt. The dusted approach has the entire fry surface covered but never at the expense of being over salted. They got the science right on the fries few places figure this out and for the record frozen fries almost always have a snappier bite than fresh i have no issues with frozen fries. Kudos!Burger was well cooked and flavorful... no fancy bun or anything so this isn't gourmet burger its just a proper burger cooked properly, which I think makes this place 5 stars as the price after tax was very good considering the economy and touristy location.Good parking, order sent to your table, servers check up on you. Good seating design no log jam areas and plenty of intimate 2 person tables.I mean... I could disect it further but what's the point I already highly recommend this establishment.“

“My wife and I were looking for a unique local eatery that stood out. We were looking for unique flavorful food for an early dinner and TRIO looked interesting. As we walked in, the shop was to the left and the eatery was to the right. But, right in front of you is a selection of fine cheeses that would make any charcuterie board jealous. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, we choose to sit inside and we were quickly greeted and brought our drink orders. We spoke to our server about some of the items on their small but delicious menu and we agreed that this odd little turkey and strawberry Panini looked interesting and full of flavor. So we went for the Panini with an iced tea. The tea was herb infused. After taking my first sip I knew that whoever was planning the menu was paying attention to the little details that make a difference. That attention to detail was really evident in the Panini too. The Brie, Pepper jelly, fresh strawberries and turkey came together in the perfect pairing. A pairing that, while outstanding on its own, would have been a true home run when paired with the right beer or wine. That was my mistake not theirs.This is an establishment that I will definitely return to.Once you finish eating, head over to the shop for a great selection of true craft beers and fine wines. They offer true craft beers here, not just the beers that have been bought up by Mega Corp beer companies that are trying to pass off extract flavored beers as craft beers.Do yourself a flavor and make the time to visit TRIO on your next visit to the Outer Banks.“

“Asked a local where to have lunch. While she provided several options, we picked Hurricane Mo's. As it turned out, this was an excellent choice. Lunch was superb, the price was good, and the atmosphere perfect. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a locals place with good food and great service.“
