These were by far the BEST scallops I've ever eaten, melted in your mouth. Prices were reasonable with the bill only 86.00 for 2 including drinks (plus tip ) Our server was awesome, she came over several times, asked what we needed but also made small talk we felt right at home. This place was hopping by the time we left and it was getting loud and the food and drinks were flowing. When in Nags Head OBX make sure you stop.

Our group of 8 easily got a table around 5:00p but it is off season. The chairs on the high tops have backs for those that want to know. Food was hit or miss. Some of group were not impressed with the talked about Hula Chicken. Chicken thigh is used in this entree. The salads and bowls looked delicious. I enjoyed a small appetizer of the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. It was enough for a meal. I also ordered a delicious side dish of their Mexican corn. Service was good. It is a bit noisy in the dining area but that's expected.

When I entered, I was at first disappointed by the limited menu that was given. But then you look…read moreup at the tv and see the specials, and that is when your mouth really starts to water. The scallops and crab-stuffed fish were a special that would blow your socks off. The scallops were some of the best I have had. The bruschetta at a seafood place was also killer. I feel I may have judged the smaller menu a little too quickly. The dessert lives up to the name of the best key lime pie. The apple dessert is also up there. The staff was great and very knowledgeable about their food. The overall atmosphere was tight but great for families. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Everything I've had before is still great like the fried shrimp and oysters, and especially the hush puppies. The blue crab nachos are something new I've had and are amazing. The chips are crisp and thick with plenty of cheese and crab. Something I will be getting again. The fried flounder fillet is cooked well but lacking seasoning, and really needs to have some sauce for it to not be too dry or flavorless. Great place that is a must do in OBX.

I was excited to explore the local food scene after researching the area. Although I heard the tacos were fantastic, my experience this time was different. I tried the hush puppies topped with sugar butter, and I later enjoyed them with a cracker--thanks to the waitress for the tip. Watching them open oysters so quickly was a delight, and it's no surprise that locals rave about them. Every visit definitely includes a stop here--because the food is simply amazing!

It had been a while since we visited Mama Kwan's. I remembered some good Rockfish tacos and wanted…read moreto have another such lunch. I guess the Rockfish tacos were a daily special, so I ordered the "World Famous" Mahi tacos while Ms T ordered a crabcake sandwich. I think we were both a little disappointed. Her sandwich was definitely for bun lovers. She tore off enough bread for another sandwich and still had plenty. Restaurants are often guilty of conflating a huge bun with good sandwich. She was not particularly impressed with the crab cake, saying it was overloaded with thyme. I ordered my Mahi "blackened" and it really was not. The seasonings were good although also heavy with thyme. The flour tortillas were of poor quality, very thin and leathery and not provided hot. Hence the tacos were room temperature when eaten. I liked the finely shredded cheese that was not served refrigerator cold. The white sauce they serve is just wrong for these tacos. It is too sweet, too tart, making it harsh. Instead, I used the sauce that came with her crab cake and that was much better. Finally the mahi was very dry. I guess that is kind of the way that mahi is, but this really needed plenty of sauce. Kudos to them for serving good jasmine rice. This was not as good as we remembered. It is OK, not great and could be improved with just a few changes. We should have tried the burgers.

We were seated against the stairs without a table and despite a few spots at the bar opening almost immediately after we sat down, they would not allow us to sit there. We ordered two grey good martinis, extra dirty and they were ok but far from good or properly dirty. I'd expect far better from a place calling itself a martini bar and charging more than nice restaurants in the area. The service was lacking and overall it was just a very weird and off putting experience. We won't be returning. I truly hope how we were treated had nothing to do with us being a biracial couple.

Sometimes, when you see a delicious pizza, you know it's gonna be good even without tasting it!…read more That was our experience at this pizza place. We've just arrived in the Outer Banks area, and was hungry for dinner. We're glad to pick this location. They offered several specialty pizzas, as well as pick your own toppings. Besides pizzas, subs and salads are also part of their menu. But if you stop here, their NY Style pizza is simply outstanding! You'll get plenty of toppings and cheese, along with a crispy thin crust that's done just right. Plenty of seating in the dining area. And the staff was attentive and helpful. This will be a regular stop for us.

If you frequent the area…read morein the off-season, you'll quickly figure out that a number of places are closed during that time. Not so with Tortuga's Lie. This is one of our fave places for either lunch or dinner. In either case, be ready for a wait depending on what time of day it is. The food is worth it, though. If space is available, you can choose to sit at the bar. They have a couple TVs. We've had everything from one of the daily specials (fried flounder sandwich is one example), to the cheeseburger, to the fish tacos, and more. Their 'island fries' are yummy. They have a selection of Tortuga's Lie gear for sale, so be sure to browse if you have to wait for a table. They have plenty of parking -- look for the large lot just north of the restaurant. Be sure to swing by Tortuga's Lie for a bite to eat, no matter what time of year you're here!

I ordered the ahi sandwich and it was very good, even if it was a little over-cooked for my taste. But the best part of the meal was the chocolate pecan pie! It was so good, we got two pieces to go! I'd go again just for the pie. For being the off season, I was surprised by how crowded it was, but that's a testament of how good it was. The locals know what they're talking about when they recommend a place. Tortuga's Lie was recommended to us by one of the tour guides we met when we went to see the wild horses. I'll go back.
