    This was a good spot to try on day 1 at the Outer Banks. We were lucky to have Katelin as our waitress. She's very sweet and helpful. She even gave me some hushpuppies as a birthday treat (since I don't like cheesecake). We both had different versions of a burger. Unfortunately, we were a little famished, and when I remembered I forgot to take a picture, it was half gone and a lot messy. It was DELICIOUS though!! The time of day we went by, the restaurant was not busy. I would return if in the area.

    Our dinners, crab cakes and sea scallops

    Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We had the calamari starter, fresh with a crispy crust. Sea scallops were delicious, cooked to perfection. My husband's crab cakes were also very delicious, fresh and well cooked. A bit noisy but great if you're vacationing and having fun

    Mulligans has good food and service, and they are extremely dog friendly. Today we had the crab bisque and it was dynamite. Also Local raw oysters had lots of flavor. Broiled seafood platter was cooked perfectly. Delicious Cobb Salad. Shrimp and fish tacos were overcooked. Buffalo shrimp was cooked perfect and our favorite. Last year the shrimp and grits were our favorite. It was pretty busy, but the service was really good. Super friendly.

    We came here specifically for the crushes because they are so delicious! They have a wide variety of different crushes that all sound amazing. The coconut lime crush is excellent and so is the key lime crush. The rooftop bar area is perfect for watching the sunset and enjoying nice weather. They have some tables up there and of course seating at the bar. This place is a must, especially if you like crushes!

    I ordered a salad with blackened chicken. It was good. The popcorn chicken was delicious. The crab cake sandwich was good.

    Fish tacos were so good. We got there late so we barely finished eating before they were closing. Didn't realize they closed at 9 pm.

    Is the dog area only upstairs? Any downstairs outdoor dog friendly seating?

    We have a fenced off patio downstairs but this time of year it’s only open for lunch. That area is where folks wait to be seated for dinner in the high season. Off season you can sit down there anytime you like.

    Excellent food and great service in a casual atmosphere and great views of the sunset…read more Be aware that they do not take reservations but they have a bar area and a deck in the nice weather where you can wait. The menu has a good amount of variety and everything was fresh and prepared just as we ordered. Our server Morgan was very friendly and took great care of us. The Oregon inlet tuna was excellent blackened and prepared perfectly medium. My wife had the Trawl Boat combo and everything was great but, everything was swimming in butter. The shrimp and scallops are locally sourced. A little less butter and the dish would have been better. The special blackberry bourbon bread pudding with vanilla ice cream was killer. So delicious. Can't wait to go back. Oh and get the hush puppies!!

    I was so excited to try Miller's Waterfront Restaurant after reading such positive reviews. As it…read moreturns out after many trip to OBX, this is one of the worst restaurants I've experienced. My wife and I brought family from Europe thinking that we would have delicious NC seafood. Instead we had food that was only ok in taste and portions that were laughable. When the server handed my wife a 1/4 glass of wine, I laughed out loud. My $32 dollar dish looked like an appetizer and was less filling. We were 4 pretty small adults who all left hungry after spending more than $125 for our meal. The food was not the only issue. The place feels more like a cafeteria. The service was also terrible. Our waiter had a pretty nasty attitude and either was having a bad day or just hated his job. My advice? Go for the view. Standing outside during sundown was spectacular. Then get in your car and eat somewhere else.

    Excellent meal with an excellent view…read more We made reservations on Thursday, for Friday at 6:30, a party for 5. If you want to get in during high traffic times, definitely call 24-hours ahead. We were seated within 15-minutes of our arrival, in the dining room with a lovely view of the harbor. We noticed most tables had a nice view due to the very open floor plan concept. Our server was lovely: attentive, helpful and pleasant. She patiently answered questions and returned often to check on us, making sure our water glasses were full. It's the little touch's that make a wonderful dining experience. We began our meal sharing the calamari. Really well prepared and quite flavorful. So enjoyed the little peppers and aioli drizzle. Very flavorful. Everyone in our party of 5 was quite pleased with their meals. Our 10-year old granddaughter loved the fries and chose an appetizer chicken wings for her entree. The portion was quite large and tasty. Beware, the dipping sauce ranch has a kick, which she didn't prefer but we enjoyed. My husband and I shared the grand slam seafood trio. Each seafood item was perfectly prepared. With fries and coleslaw, it was more than we could finish. He added a side salad which was very fresh and I had creamy clam chowder (good but not as hot as ai prefer.) Our daughter and friend raved about their fried fish and pork chop diners. 4/5 of us took home leftovers. The view.... So relaxing and peaceful. Our bill came to $188 (without any drinks.). The tab was worth it for a complete fine dining experience (with no need to dress to the nines; it's the beach after all).

    Excellent. We come here every time we vacation. Make a reservation!…read more The oyster shooter and the shrimp and grits are two of my favorites and you also cannot go wrong with their oyster selection. Drinks are on point, service is quick, and the view of the sound is lovely. For the non-seafood lovers, their salads and burgers are good too!
