    Key lime crush
    Cristine P.

    Great place to go for a drink or to watch a sports game in the outer banks. Hush puppies were delicious, and the key lime crush was so dang good!! Dinner entrees were just okay, but server was kind and the crush was all I needed ;)

    LUMP CRAB CAKE SANDWICH
    Ross S.

    This place was excellent across the board! Waited about 20 minutes for a group of 6. We sat upstairs and it wasn't too crowded or loud. Our group ordered the Seafood Eggs rolls for an appetizer, they were excellent and tasted great. (Alittle pricey for only two but understandable). For the entrees, we got Thai shrimp tacos, fish and chips, and crab cake sandwich. They were all excellent and so full of flavor. The waiter was excellent and super accommodating. If you like some spice definitely try the Thai fish tacos!! 5/5 recommend.

    BLACKENED MAHI TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE CHUTNEY
    Kim P.

    Excellent food with a great adult beverage menu. Our waiter was great and attentive. Wonderful oysters, could go there just for that. We sat on the upper deck. Since you are right next to the highway, it was loud! It didn't help that the family across from us had little kids that they allowed to run about as one of the guys at their table was extremely loud. Not the restaurant's fault but it killed the ambiance!

    A delicious key lime pie crush drink.

    I love this place. I have been coming to this restaurant for a very long time and it never disappoints. It is located on the beach road in Nags Head. This family owned restaurant serves delicious seafood, hushpuppies, burgers and salads. Their famous crush drinks are outstanding and something I look forward to every time I come. My favorite thing to order is their mahi tacos with pico de gallo and teriyaki sauce. The wait times are never usually long and they have a great upstairs deck with views of ocean and sand dunes. A true gem of the outer banks.

    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.

    Food was good, nothing extraordinary. Service was subpar. Server didn't ask how our meal was or refill our drinks once our meal came. Wouldn't go back.

    Good service. The snow crab legs, hush puppies and drinks were good. I thought the wings were okay but had better.

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

    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.

We ordered the fried green tomato special of the day, which came with burrata and salad. It was incredible. My partner ordered the catch of the day, which was blackened swordfish with risotto. He loved it! I ordered the mahi mahi BLT. They were extremely generous with their portion size for the fish, bacon, and especially the fries. The ambiance is very nice! Inside had plenty of space for folks to be seated without being crowded, but it was never too loud. They have bar seating, tables, and outdoor dining. The art is locally sourced. I signed up for their waitlist to get a reservation, and it worked! I was able to snag one. Thankfully I did, since they were busy and had a wait for over an hour for walk ins. Highly recommend planning ahead! If you end up waiting, they have several places for you to wait including outside in the shade with some games and seating area.

It has a gritty paste texture to me, which I really didn't care for. My Bf got the tuna noodle and said it was really good. I got the cheesesteak which was pretty big! But unfortunately lacking in the flavor department. Totally not the worst cheesesteak; but nothing to rave about either. But kinda my bad anyways, looking online I thought I was going to enjoy the menu more but I think it's alittle too 'upscale' or unique for my taste. However our waiter was great.

    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).
