    Shrimp & Grits
    Cletus V.

    Food was delicious! Waiter was great! Experience was NOT good... They were slammed, understaffed, out of dishes, one of their two bathrooms were out - we waited an hour to get seated then another hour for our food to be brought out. Very disappointed - but unlike other guests I made the best of it and didn't take it out on the staff. I hope to go back again!

    Speechless...Probably because my mouth was full. A chef's board to feed five including crab cake, shrimp and grits, beef and potatoes, fried green tomatoes, cheesy Potatoes, vegetables and oysters and more I am sure. Server was patient and so positive- sitting down by the water and enjoying the sun, sound and music. Recommend- Hell Yes!!! Pricey but worth it!!! The family says if you can atleast once do it; but the menu cannot be wrong- it all looks great. Yes- They Have BEER! Go Figure!

    Sweet lunch view!
    Kimberly W.

    Probably the best restaurant meal we've had in recent memory. The tuna tacos and appetizer were just spectacular! Excellent home brewed iced tea and craft beer-wow! Can't wait to come back! Excellent service, too!

    Chef's board
    Catherine A.

    The food was fantastic, our waiter did a great job explaining the chefs board which was very yummy and let us try lots of different options We where able to sit out side by the water made for a nice pleasant experience

    I wanted to give this place 5 stars; however, the service was really slow. We went for lunch on a Tuesday around 12:30. We requested outdoor seating and were seated immediately. Once seated we were greeted promptly with iced water and given a couple minutes to look over the menu. When our server came back we went ahead and ordered 2 cocktails and 3 food items. Unfortunately, we didn't see our server again for almost 30 minutes. Our food was delivered by someone other than our server, before we even received our cocktails. We had almost completely finished our meal before our server appeared with our drinks. However, our server was friendly, the food and drinks were fantastic, and the waterfront outdoor dining was perfect.

    Must come. Fresh ingredients. Great drinks. Great service. GET THE CHEF BOARD. Literally the best choice you can make. For what you get and the variety is it's so perfect. Plenty. Try everything. Great view. $17 drinks. About $30-$50 a person. Worth every cent. App- get the tuna patron. Best tuna on the beach. By far. Park across the street. Come early. It is a bit noisy because of the ceilings but that's because everyone just adores this little place. Enjoy a drink on the grass with live music and a view while you wait for your table.

    Lunch cocktail overlooking the Sound
    David W.

    Just got to Duck & needed someplace for lunch. This ended up being a wonderful choice. We sat outside on a beautiful day & Gray did a great job of taking care of us. He was prompt with the drinks & knowledgeable about the local fish, to make good recommendations. Cheers & enjoy.

    Crab Cakes
    Rob S.

    This was our very first stop for dinner on our great Outer Banks vacation. We sat on the boardwalk overlooking the ocean at sunset on Fourth of July. The view was spectacular and we couldn't ask for more. The service was great and the meals we got were very delicious. The crabcakes are some of the best that we tried on our entire vacation. The shrimp and grits was also very good and just to my liking.

    Daily specials ahi tuna steak
    Eka M.

    Came here at 445pm on a Tuesday for a party of 3. The place gets packed quickly so if you are a big party, be sure to get there by 5pm or else the wait is long. We ordered the daily specials ahi tuna steak which was tasty and good quality seafood but the food came at a room temperature. We also ordered the seafood pasta with lots of good seafood (scallops, shrimps, lobster and crab meat) everything tasted fresh and nice hot temperature. Then there's the side of sweet potato waffle fries that came out plain cold.

    This is the best crab dip I've had--and I've ordered crab dip at about five different restaurants in the outer banks. The fish in the sandwich was hard, tasted like swordfish, and the salt and vinegar fries are a must-try. I definitely reccomend this restaurant, parking may be rough but there's open parking a few lots down.

    Sunset in the back deck
    Michelle A.

    Had our anniversary dinner here tonight on the back deck. Everything was 10/10 fantastic. Great service, perfect atmosphere, food was delicious, dog friendly and the sunset was amazing. We ordered the chefs board for two and I would highly recommend it!

    Fish tacos

    New OBX favorite. Very original cocktails and the menu has something DELICIOUS for everyone.

    Overdone chicken strip from kids meal--gross
    Carson R.

    First of all, this rating was not about service--it was fantastic. Our waitress was attentive and polite/friendly/accomodating. This was about the wait and the food quality/prices. The wait was over 1 hour on a Thursday evening around 7pm, and that was to sit outside (apparently quicker than inside). We were sat at the very bottom of the dock area, which seemed cool at first. But then once the sun went down the bugs came out. Not really the restaurants fault because bugs come out at night and it's near the water--BUT, I don't really want to eat around them. And when I say bugs, I mean we killed 4 pretty good sized spiders and a ton of gnats before we requested to sit inside. The wait for our food was crazy long--probably at least 30 minutes from the time we ordered until we got our food. We ordered 3 kids meals--$14 a piece and they were gross!!!!!! None of my kids liked their food, and they really aren't super picky eaters. For $14, it better be amazing and it was really mediocre at best. A couple appetizers for the adults and we were $77 into this meal and didn't even get any alcohol. Also, be aware the menu on Yelp and online do NOT match what they actually have. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back. Sad, because the reviews for Duck, NC area restaurants this was one of the best....save your time and money.

    Is the restaurant handicapped accessible? The photos did not show this.

    I'm not sure

    Can I order a board to share for a party if 4?

    If you are dining at the restaurant, we can prepare boards for most size groups! Thank you!

    Based on Dena's confirmation that reservations were being taken yesterday I tried to make reservations for our party of eight for this evening, but was told reservations are not taken. Are reservations only taken on certain days?

    As is the case with most popular restaurants in tourist areas, reservations are not taken in season, so they can turn the tables as quickly as possible. You have to arrive, get on their list and wait.

    09/04/2021 - Do you take reservations?

    Hi Craig, We are not currently taking reservations.… Read more

    Can you reserve a table or just walk in?

    Thanks for inquiring about NC Coast Grill & Bar! We are not currently taking reservations! Come on in!

Upon further review of their website, you have to go to the Duck location page and scroll down and then it explains that it'll reopen some other time.

The night we went out for BBQ, we noticed this brightly colored little building called Sooey's BBQ. We thought this could be a bust because sometimes places that are so flashy outside usually try to make up for what is lacking on the inside. We couldn't be more wrong! A+ Service - Our waitress, Denise, was fantastic! Friendly and serviced our table like a ninja! A++ Food - Amazingly delicious food. I had the BBQ pulled pork platter with green beans, mac & cheese and a sweetened tea. The tea was like the kind brewed in the sun with the perfect amount of sugar and lemon. The pork and the sides were as you expect authentic southern Bbq - savory and rich! The portions were ideal. My husband and daughter's meal was just as delicious according to their "mmm's" and "oh my God's" A- Price - Of course I know that you get what you pay for and I would've paid double for our meals. However just for review purposes, know that it's a little bit pricey based on using plastic cutlery lol. For the 3 of us each getting platters, with 2 sides each and drinks, our bill was a little over $60. Overall, you do not want to skip this place if you are craving delicious bbq! You won't be sorry.

Dining extends to 2nd floor, which is where we sat. Nice menu with higher-end choices.

The Fish & Chips were among the best I've ever had. I'm very picky about slaw, and this was perfect. More pickly than sweet.

Again, we waited a bit for his return. He explained the special's and took our drink and appetizer order. It took quite a while for an alcoholic drink to arrive. As a matter of fact, the appetizer showed up first. He apologized and said if it wasn't ready soon, he'd stare at the bartender until it was made. Keep in mind, we were sitting at a high top across from the bar. While I was waiting for my drink, I saw one of the two bartenders come from the bar and take an order at the table that sat a good 10 minutes after us. Note, still no drink. Fast forward to the food. It was great! Everything was prepared well and tasted great. Oh, and yes my drink finally arrived. My biggest issue with this place is the credit card fee. I understand seeing this in some places, but when you charge $36 bucks for a double shot of bourbon, there shouldn't be an additional fee applied! To be fair to the server, he did stay on top of things, once we received everything, and he was a nice guy.
