[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a lovely (breezy with passed storms) table on the deck, for sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the Chef's Board for 2x. Everything fish was AMAZING, and the two meats were good. Included dessert was OMG good. $170 + tip, but worth it. Our server Jacob was great, and the live music solo guitar/singer was incredible, for hours. Great date! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]NC coast has a great view of the sound.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated quickly upon arrival and discussed dietary restrictions (pork) with the waiter. He was initially warm and as we ordered, asked that he let us know if we inadvertently selected a dish containing pork. The dishes arrived with astonishing speed. The Caesar salad had some unidentified fried object on it and when I asked the waiter, he let me know it was pork rinds. He did not acknowledge that it was an error and flippantly suggested I remove them. I asked for a plate to put them on. The waiter's demeanor turned cold after this (what I considered innocuous) exchange. Regarding the dishes, everything was beautifully presented and arrived hot and fresh at our table. I would not recommend the fried cauliflower as it was very bland with some chili sauce splashed over top. The scallops were very well prepared however. [[HIGHLIGHT]]NC Coast is a nice spot for a special meal, especially with the view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just hope the service is more consistent with other guests. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a great place. It is bright and airy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have outdoor seating and even though it was 55 degrees with a 25 mph wind, there were people eating on the deck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter, Carlos, is great. Smiling, friendly and polite and makes great recommendations. My husband had the fish and chips (salt and vinegar). I had the gumbo and a side of sweet potato fries. So really good. My husband also had the Screwball expresso martini. Wowza! read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

This place radiates a foody American grill. Very cool. Has a nice bar and fans inside and love the open kitchen. We all ordered amazing lunches and had quick and great service. Burger, chicken sandwich on ciabatta, and chicken strips were all incredibly fresh and fast. We love open kitchen restaurants - they're all very clean and good creative energy! read more

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. read more

Restaurant is first come first serve during the summer. Luckily we came at a good time and were seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were placed right by the window with a beautiful view of the sound.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was exceptional. She continually checked in on us and made great recommendations. We ordered the chef's speciality board and we are glad we did. The board had small servings of multiple different appetizers and entrees, all of which were fantastic. The "Go-Gho" cauliflower being my favorite. The NC Coast oysters were beloved by my wife (who historically hates oysters). This restaurant is definitely one of our favorites in OBX and we will return year after year. read more

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. read more

This is the best crab dip I've had--and I've ordered crab dip at about five different restaurants in the outer banks.

Christina was the bomb. Awesome food and even better service. Thank you for giving our family great experience

Arrived fairly early for dinner with hopes for outdoor seating but our group preferred the immediate availability of an indoor option. The warm and welcoming staff seated us instantly. Rice bowls were enjoyed by all. I especially also enjoyed a bowl of gumbo. Our server was attentive and our meals arrived in a timely manner. NC Coast's ambiance is lively but nonetheless intimate enough for great interaction between the parties in our group. Definitely returning for lunch or dinner on a future OBX visit. read more

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. read more

Visited on a Saturday evening just after sunset. May weather is still iffy so once the sun went down it was very breezy on the deck outside, but the inside dining area was also busy and a bit on the loud side for me (I have noise sensitivity issues) so breezy was better than loud. Service was great, very friendly. I tried the she crab soup (that may not be the correct name, it was the seasonal special that day) and oysters. The soup was amazing, very rich and smooth and yum. I would definitely visit again if I'm the area, and time my visit better for either during the day when the sun would warm us up or later in the season when it's hot enough that a cooling breeze is wanted. read more

I've dined here for many years and loved every meal. Not this visit! Must have changed ownership. My tuscan trinity had two shrimp, two scallops and one tiny piece of lobster for $44!!! The lemon-basil cream sauce was completely absent from all three of our Tuscan Trinity dishes. This dish used to be loaded with seafood, very saucy and delicious. It was none of the above. Also ordered chicken fingers for my daughter and found one of them was still raw. Service was great, but food was mediocre at best. So sad. *Response to owner: You gave an almost raw piece of chicken to my daughter who ate two bites before I noticed as she tried biting through chicken jerky. It did give her a stomach ache. I showed the waiter and he said he'd bring out two more......yes, I should have grabbed a manager. Three of us ordered your $44 pasta dish, 30 pieces of sun dried tomato and 5 pieces of seafood, the lemon-basil cream sauce was non existent (forgotten?) on all three of our orders. Not impressed and not surprised by your response. read more

Bay view - excellent. Had drinks and listened to music while waiting for our table. Great time, very enjoyable. Had 2 teens and 1 pre- teens with us, one was very hungry. It was very nice and had a good experience waiting about 90 minutes or so for our table. Checked in at 540 for a table and got seated at about 710. They first said it would be 2 hours. I kept checking the toast app which was nice to see the progress of when our table would be ready Appetizer - had the mussels. Sauce was excellent. bread came with it and an underwhelming about of mussels for a family of 5. First order we got 10 mussels. I had to order a second order bc it was not going to be enough with two teen boy. The 2nd order had 12 mussels. For the price this was under whelming. The sauce though was again excellent. Dinner - I had the sassy sea scallops. Food taste and quality was excellent. It came with 5 regular scallops or jumbo that cooked down to regular size. It came with Brussels sprouts, arugula, mushrooms and some kind of jam. Everything worked the jam, arugula and scallops were great. The Brussels sprout, I felt were under cooked a little but they were cut nicely so I could eat them. The dish seemed to lack mushrooms. For the price I think there should have been at least one more scallop. Although 2 more is probably appropriate for the price, in my opinion. Others in my partner had very good meals. Ribeye was cooked great, tomahawk pork chop was seasoned very well. It is a must to get the beignets. They were awesome. Usually it is 4 for 9 dollars but the server gave us 5 so we each could have one. That was really nice. We got the chocolate and Carmel sauces on the side bc my son doesn't eat those. This dessert was great. Food taste and quality= excellent Service = very good, attentive and nice. Value= average. I wish the value was better. Yes I would go back but would look for a more appropriate app for a family of 5. Maybe it is a restaurant where everyone needs to order than own app instead of sharing apps. read more

After playing a round of golf and building up a huge appetite, my friend and I were able to find this awesome establishment! To start, the view is spectacular while enjoying drinks and food. Started off with a couple glasses of Chardonnay while we enjoyed the scenic view. Then had a dozen oysters on the half shell to go great with the wine. By the time the entrees came out, we were already completely happy and satisfied. I had the shrimp & grits for dinner, and the this entree was delicious and some of the best shrimp & grits I've had. Great time, great food, and great service. Thanks for having us! read more

Disappointed! The food was okay but it was a miserable experience. -Hot and loud environment -Long wait after ordering (an hour) -Water was barely cool -Salt shaker wouldn't work despite getting help from the server. When I couldn't get any salt out after she filled it, server said "put your back into it" and walked away -no apology from server for problems and no attempt to make it better. Just suggested we ordered more expensive appetizers while we waited for our food. -small-ish servings with nothing special added, no garnishes, no bread with salad... -never offered something to drink nor dessert, just dropped off the bill when we finished our food. So disappointing! read more

We stopped here for dinner on our way back to our beach house in bags head after visiting a lighthouse. The restaurant is right on the water and has an outdoor deck for great views while eating. The inside is a little cramped but the tables are nice and the bar is pretty big. Our waitress was very nice and made sure we enjoyed our meals. The one negative to this place is that their the kind of place where you have to ask for salt and pepper to be brought to you instead of it being on the table and most things did need a bit of salt. I started with the gumbo which was really flavorful and packed with sausage and seafood. I really enjoyed it. My main meal was the seafood pasta with shrimp, scallops, and lobster. It was very good. The pasta was well cooked and in a creamy sauce that paired well with the seafood. The lobster was firm but not chewy and had nice flavor and the shrimp and scallops were well seasoned and seared. It was a great meal. My mom also really enjoyed her salmon and my dad loved his scallops and wild mushrooms and potato risotto. The one odd thing is that almost every dish we saw included or was served on arugula which seems a little random. It's easy not to eat the arugula if you don't like it though so it's not a block to eating here. Overall a great meal to end the day on read more
