So this time, I decided to give Capt'n Franks a try. The Food: The food here, were just okay. Nothing to tell home about. Just quick, fast service that gets the job done if you're craving a good hot dog. I went with the Texas Dog, Kraut Dog and the Chili Cheese Dog. All of them tasted good. However, I did order a side of hush puppies. And, those were awful. No flavor in the batter whatsoever and no amount of dipping sauce could have saved it. The Service: Service was fast and easy. Wait in line, order at the front and they'll either deliver to your table or call your number. The Atmosphere: Nice beach vibes that gives a feeling like this is a hidden gem or a must-go too spot. Cool place with seating indoors and on the roof as well. Overall, a 3/5. I understand they're hot dogs, but there wasn't much of a wow factor I saw. Definitely give this a place a try though! All the combinations looked and sounded good.

They were accommodating for a large party so that was a plus. Ordering took about 30 mins to get out our food, there was a mix up with the ticketing but it was resolved. My order was unimpressive, it was like a small paddy sitting in cheezewhiz, my bun was burnt, and fries were greasy soggy, the other order was the fish, and that was probably the best thing to order, it was crispy and tasteful. the wings were decent, a little light on the sauce but palatable. they only had diet drinks in, and had very few choices. i really felt the price was not justified for the price and service. Our server was polite but slow, and 3 of the other orders were forgotten because the cook thought they were the same... that's what we were told, so it took a while longer for the rest of the order to come out. Most likely won't be coming back.

My sister convinced me to come here after we went up and down the road to find a quick place to eat. Pulled in as my sister was giving me the rundown on how to order in here. Preparing me for confusion that would definitely happen. I'm glad she did, as we had pulled up there was no one here, but once inside more and more parties started to show up and a line started to form. I like how it is almost cafeteria style in here. Come up, place your order, they repeat it to back of house on that old school microphone and continue on with the order. It is fast paced for the ordering process, but not completely for the preparing. I went with the Big Double Burger combo. I appreciate that you get to choose your toppings; lettuce, onion, pickles, mayo, and mustard for me. For my sides, since you get to choose two I went fried all the way; fries and onion rings. For my drink. I thought I would go with a milkshake since they seem to be known for them. Opting for a chocolate chip cheesecake Fancy Milkshake. Once the food was ordered, we went and picked out a place to sit. Tip here, go for a table with chairs instead of the booths. The booths feel like they are a bit crowded, you can read that as not much room in the least. Our food started to come up and we started to head to the counter to pick it up. I enjoy that no matter how you order you still get it in a to go container. The food comes out exactly how you placed your order. When I say food, I mean the "tray" as they call it. But, the drink area, they really went off the rails there. Remember, I ordered a chocolate chip cheesecake Fancy Milkshake. When I got my food, I should have gotten the milkshake. I didn't, I approached the counter to let them know I didn't get it and they told me to give them a minute and they would have it out. Finally ready, but what I got was a strawberry milkshake. Not what I ordered, and when I told them this, they asked me if I was sure. Yes, I ordered it, it's on my receipt. They take it back and "remake" it. It took them some time and another milkshake was up. Notice I said another milkshake, and not my milkshake. What I was given was a chocolate chip milkshake. After waiting for nearly ten minutes for a milkshake, I was tired of asking for a remake. You got half of it right with the chocolate chip part.

The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they were getting ready for live music while we were there. We were dining with our young daughter, and once the band had finished setting up, we got the impression they were gently encouraging us to wrap things up. No one was rude about it, but it definitely felt like they preferred not to have a family with a little one there once the music got underway. My husband ordered a burger that he polished off and described simply as, "Good." Coming from him, that's actually a solid endorsement. I ordered the Cuban Reuben. The flavors were good, but I was surprised to find it served on what appeared to be a flour tortilla rather than the flatbread described on the menu. It ended up eating more like a wrap than a sandwich. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I had ordered fries with my meal but received chips instead. I never checked the receipt to see whether I was charged for the upgrade, but it ended up working out just fine. My husband was convinced they were just really good Lay's chips. I disagreed. We still haven't settled that debate, but we both agreed they were fresh, crunchy, and delicious. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese, and after spending the week on an unofficial Outer Banks grilled cheese tour (because toddlers have priorities), this one landed somewhere around a 5/10. Overall, it was a pleasant meal with a great atmosphere, and I can absolutely see it being a fun place to grab a drink and listen to live music. It just wasn't one of the standout meals from our trip.
