Staff, 11/10. Friendliest most attentive people I've ever met. Shout out Brady, Jordan and Larry. Thank you for being so lovely. PATRONS (9-10pm) 2/10. The absolute rudest, entitled, oblivious and demanding people I've ever seen. (Aka the just turned 21 crowd). For people looking for a more "already know bar rules" definitely go around 11:30. Still 5/5 stars. Can't beat how amazing the staff was. Updated menu w/prices in pictures. read more

Lots of curiosity regarding their Wagyu burgers, well we took care of that today! Located around MP 8 just off the beach road with plenty of on site parking. It's off season so getting table at lunch was easy. Staff seated us and took our order quickly. They were super friendly and gave us the "pointers" on food( no lettuce or tomatoe here). Draft beer and cocktails available. Food was super delicious and not overly gigantic. Our burgers were grilled perfectly with just a minimum amount of condiments(.50) for shrooms, grilled onions and mayo(yup, mayo costs money). The tots are a seasonal thing so I got that. Delicious as tots are usually a staple in my diet. Sodas are free refills and our server even gave me a to-go cup. I live a refreshing fountain soda. The indoor dining area has lots of beach themed decor. There is a full bar at the front. I think on the weekends and summer season they also have outdoor music. read more

Nice spot! We were seated immediately and service was pretty quick. Although the burger could've used some seasoning, it was juicy and the tots were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Would definitely go back. read more

The staff is awesome. The burgers a great. Been there twice since we moved here. My husband has been there more than me now. First time I had the shocker. If you're not for spice don't eat it. By far my favorite burger. The second time I had the when in Rome burger and it was great. I want to try the two combined the place reminds me of those old biker bars in California makes me feel home. They have a great selection of beers. I'm a cider, seltzer girl if it's not a mixed drink so I found my place here read more

We happened to pop in with a group of 6 (we all mostly agreed!), and I'm glad we did!! I had the jacked up fries (DELICIOUS!) and parts of the Frank n Brady sandwich, and I highly recommend both. The service was beyond excellent. This place actually has customer service, which is rare these days and rare during tourist season down here. Good food, good service, good ambiance. We may be back for karaoke tonight. read more

We came here so that someone could have the Franky Baby again. They enjoyed it so much last year they considered it a necessary part of the beach this year. I had the Ron Swanson & it was even better than I expected. The fries were great too. The atmosphere is unbeatable, especially with the decor inside. The staff were all friendly and helpful. This might become a regular stop when we are here. We did not try the fried Oreos so that's just another reason to return. Not sure when they have live music but the duo they had last night was both talented and amusing. It was a great time all around. read more

Amazing service and able to accommodate a group of us during busy dinner hours. Burgers were well worth the wait.

Back cuz we HAVE TO COME HERE every time we are in OBX! The tater tots jacked up are a fantastic way to start the meal! Cheeseburgers are fabulous! Yes!! No tomato or lettuce. Condiments at the table. Fries are good! Check the specials and the burger of the day. Megan was wonderful. Love an attentive, cheerful, enthusiastic person!!! We felt well taken care of. Had 2 newbies. Both are now "WE MUST COME HERE EVERY TIME IN OBX!!!" The inside is almost overwhelming with visual overload! Love the license plates, dollar bills, etc!! Jack Brown never fails!!! read more

Everything was mixed up and we didn't have what we ordered in front of us.* That's the only thing I would change. Greeted amazing! Our waiter was amazing! read more

Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint - KDH - Greg Brady - Burgers Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

90% bar, 10% restaurant- at least after hours. We visited this spot at 10pm out of desperation when almost everything else had stopped serving food. College students were the bulk of the crowd here, and the frat formal weekend probably made this even more so the case than usual. I got grilled cheese and a pickle. It was super basic and super cheap- totally worked. Late night orders happened at the bar and they were quick to bring out food. My wife was able to get a burger that she enjoyed. We weren't able to stay for very long because there was some of the worst karaoke performances I've ever heard in my life happening. Really pushing the boundaries of "karaoke is for everyone." I mean- so confidently bad and SO loud, song after song. I ate as fast as I could and got out of there. I appreciate that they had food available and it might be better during the day. read more

Jack Brown's never disappoints! I'm pulling up there was people everywhere the place was packed people standing outside look like it'd be like a two hour wait we gave her a name. They said probably 45 minutes so we ran around the corner for a minute and we got a text that our table is ready in 10 minutes . We were pleasantly surprised! Got back and got seated right away. Our waitress was right there seeing if we wanted water and drinks we were pleasantly surprised to see that they have added canned drinks such as high noons and seltzer since the last time we were there. We put an order in of the fried pickles, which were absolutely delicious. We all got our burgers cooked to perfection and we left happy people. The only struggle of the whole night is parking. There are not a lot of places to park and if you drive a big truck like I do, you have even less options, but we made it work. Go see Jack and have a burger ! read more

Got dinner here. They had live music and options for seating in the back, inside, and the front patio (which allows dogs). We sat in the back with the music. Self seating and kind of self serve. We looked at the menu on their website and then went up to the outdoor bars to order food and drinks. We all ordered the Greg Brady burger and everyone but me ordered fries. Everything that was fried here is cooked in peanut oil which is stated on their paper menus by the outdoor bar. The burgers took a while to come out but they were worth the wait. read more

It's a dive. There were bras hanging from a round rack at the end of the bar. There was an old washer sitting out front. Kinda a mix of memorabilia and junk. (Still clean, though.) But the burgers are amazing. Ended up eating here twice. Loved the Cowboy burger. Thought I would love the Ron Swanson burger, and it was good... but I liked the cowboy one better. Thd first time we came to eat, the hostess was a little rude. It was a holiday and they were busy. She didn't want to put us on the wait list. We were ok waiting and i insisted when I spoke to the other guy working the front. Ended up only having to wait 15 minutes. The next night, it wasn't busy at all and we were seated immediately. (Parking is limited and I did have to circle a couple of times to find a spot when they were busy.) read more

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, J is for Jack Brown's. Cranking out one more Yelp review today as I didn't want to end on a sour, bad note with a bad memory. In July 2020, my girlfriend & I took a trip to Outer Banks. We had broken up for 2 weeks in late June 2020, but we were back together for 3 weeks in July. She had asked to go to Outer Banks, and I decided why not as it would be nice to take a trip out here. I hadn't been to OBX as an adult only when I was 9 in 1993. So, I thought it sounded like a good idea. We stumbled upon Jack Brown's for a late dinner on our way to an AirBnB not far from here. Burger was solid, and staff was nice. This is a cool outdoor restaurant/bar with lawn games, etc. and plenty of outside seating. If in OBX, I'd be happy to come back here. read more

The food was really good! It was pretty fast and the drinks were great! It was a bit dirty. The staff didn't clear the person before us' trash until after we were done eating. A little expensive but worth checking out! We did have to pay a $5 cover per person but we did go on their 8th birthday bash so that one was on us read more

Absolutely amazing burger!! Menu changes so don't get too locked in from Yelp pictures. The fries are crispy and very well seasoned. Our wait person was awesome and super cool. Entire staff is visually appealing. The interior is as pictured by others. It's simply a bar. Nothing fancy but not in a bad way. I'll be back in a few weeks to see what the new year menu looks like. read more

I recently stopped in while visiting the OBX it was late and we were hungry. We stopped in probably around 930 on a Fri night. The place was popping to say the least. They were having karaoke and the volume was insane. You order at the bar and I thought I was gonna have to crawl across the bar to hear the bartender. That being said the bartender was super friendly and got our order correct. We s@at back where there were actual tables. The food came out very quick for it being later at night. I ordered the cowboy burger. The patty was more of a smash burger but the flavor was definitely there. I'm not sure what the BBQ sauce was on the burger but it complimented the bacon very well. The food was great, however the sheer volume on the speakers made it impossible to hear the person across from me. read more

As usual the foid was great and the server turned me on to a new menu item which i really enjoyed. Very consistent food which I appreciate

Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) We wrap up our last day here in OBX after spending a couple of wonderful weeks. This place has always held a special spot in our hearts, and we come here all the time. Today was particularly surprising as we visited Jack Browns our usual restaurant. It was noticeably cleaner than usual, which was a pleasant surprise. The staff were very nice. Although the burgers were just okay - nothing to rave about - the overall experience was still delightful. As we prepare to leave, I find myself already missing OBX and the good fortune we've had here. This place offers such a unique and great experience, and we plan on always coming back. Take care, and looking forward to our next visit! read more

Jack Browns is a staple restaurant for me and my husband to visit if there is one in the towns we are visiting. This one spot wasn't our favorite Jack browns but was still delicious of course! Star was deducted for rushed service, food was delicious as always. I always get the cobra Kai and my husband likes to try different things but this time settled on their special. The sweet potato fries were amazing and the special Jack Browns sauce is *chefs kiss.* We got good drinks and this jack browns had liquor, which just appreciated as a non beer drinker! We thought our waitress a little rushed and it was hard to place additional drink orders and felt rushed while she was at the table. She was friendly though I think just had a lot of tables! It was a hot day here and the area we were sitting in was pretty hot. No fans or anything circulating air but to be expected for a hot beach day. read more

It's mostly a beach bar - be forewarned. But the burgers were great and reasonably priced The music was banging for the Gen X crowd read more

This is a no frills diner that serves one specialty, burgers! So if burgers are not your thing, you may want to look for other options. You can get your burger in about 7 to 8 different ways. All of these varieties are prepared flavorfully. Sides are ordered separately as ala carte item, which is a drawback. Servers are attentive and helpful. Portions were good, and came out in a timely manner. Interior dining area is almost nostalgic to a past bygone era. Overall, a good place for burgers, and only burgers. read more

The Dr. Gonzo burger with sweet potato fries was AMAZING. The margarita was also a banger. The service was efficient despite it being busy during the evening. It was a fun and inviting atmosphere since it was also trivia night. Good vibes with good food! read more

Burgers are really good here, just on the smaller side though. Definitely a place worth going to repeatedly. The service is normal and the restaurant itself is kind of on the smaller side but the food makes it all worth it. Just make sure to order more than one burger if you're hungry read more

Service was fast, even being packed with people. Food, damn, excellent. Burger was juicy, bun was soft, sauce was perfect. Onions, perfect. Prices are reasonable. So. Good. read more

This place is a great place to get a burger. They only have a few to choose from. I always get the Cowboy-bbq sauce, bacon and cheese. They have great French fries and the sweet potato ones are very tasty! It is pretty pricey-burger and fries are each aol separately, so $20, Burgers are pretty thin, but very juicy. Great taste! It is a bar, so a little loud! Get there early though, or you'll have to wait. read more

This place has great burgers!! Definitely a popular spot, but we were able to find a table on the patio. If you can't do a high top table you'll wait a while. We had someone in a wheelchair so felt lucky to get the patio table. Good options in terms of burger toppings. We tried the Gonzo , Cool Hand Luke and 2 more I can't recall. All of us devoured every bite. Fries are also delicious. Good beer options. read more

Great food!!! Service is spot on and a nice selection of odd burgers. Tasty beyond belief , highly recommend the tots.

Went in for lunch. Talked with the bartender about ordering food, she told us everything is to go. She never even asked if we wanted something to drink, then she went over to the tv and was trying to find a football station (?) and never again turned around to acknowledge us or take our order or get us a drink. After standing there for a while we just left. So we went to another burger joint where the service was excellent! read more

Establishment: That of a bar a d grill. We have to wait to be seated. Took a few minutes, however they were busy. Service: once seated the server who came to the table was very courteous and friendly. She was quick and attentive.v Food: All the burgers were absolutely delicious! The classic, the Monday special ( molly dooker), and shocker were sooo good. All serving was just enough and the fries were not greasy! Highly recommend for a good freshly made burger. read more

If I could give a no star I would. My husband and son came in there to eat because it was recommended the best burger. All my husband asked was he wanted lettuce and tomato on his burger. The waitress was very rude very offensive saying that they didn't carry lettuce and tomato. My husband said this is the south everyone likes lettuce and tomato on their burger. She said well man in capital letters if you don't like it, you can leave so guess what he said cancel my order and he left. I am really surprised he didn't flip the table. I wish I had been there because I would never put up with someone disrespecting my husband in that way. I will never ever spend my hard earned money in place or recommend that place to anyone. You have a rude ass waitress like that then you got a problem I was a waitress I had to be nice to my customers whether they made me mad or not. I would never talk to a customer the way that she talked to my husband and he's also served in the military the Marines. He served his country and she's gonna treat him like a piece of shit. No, I am not recommended this restaurant to anyone especially if you have couth and you determine respect because that respect is not given there. She needs to lose her job, but I know they're not gonna do anything about it. I called and complain, but she still gonna be there still treating people like crap and so on and so forth, but if it was me, I would've lost my job. read more
