My husband and I grabbed lunch at this restaurant and really enjoyed it while in Duck. We sat outside and had the fish tacos for lunch, which were amazing. We came back another day to get appetizers and drinks and also enjoyed the caprese salad and the steamed shrimp. read more

Went from Nags Head, NC on a day trip to Duck and Corolla. My friend said this was a great place, so we stopped on the way back from the end of Corolla. Walked in just before 5pm to a nice beachy casual dining place. We had Carlos as our waiter who was excellent. We had french fries with salt and vinegar. They were awesome. They had almost a salt that was infused with vinegar and then ground to a powder, so there was no liquid vinegar to make the french fries soggy. That was great. They I ordered the scallops with a potato risotto. Very good, except there was too much liquid on the plate. It could have been more reduced and less of it. A bit too sweet, but tasty. Just less next time. My friend ordered the salmon which she loved too. Our drinks were nice as well. It is hard to get to Duck, but nice in the off season and the place was on the bay for a great sunset atmosphere. Would recommend. read more

Most excellent service, serving size, prep! Some of the best scallops according to my dining companion. Lovely Caesar salad. Surprise: pork rinds! The crab dip small plate is a lot! We sat outside but under shelter. Highly recommended! read more

We came in with a group of 14 and were told there'd be a 1 1/2 hour wait unless we split up -- 8 could be seated right away, and the rest would have to wait. When we asked for other options, we were basically told to go somewhere else. That kind of attitude and lack of effort to accommodate a large group was extremely unprofessional. We definitely expected better service and basic courtesy read more

The best vegetarian Thai Curry I've ever had...flavors were amazing! They did t give much rice but generously brought me another bowl complimentary when I asked. My husband got the Chicken & Goat which he rated a 4 out of 10....mostly just macaroni & cheese with a slab of chicken which was disappointing for the price paid. Pricey...and very noisy...but we enjoyed ourselves read more

Great wait staff, wonderful service. A must when in Duck. Sit by the water and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

NC Coast Grill & Bar - The Under board - New American Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

I came here for lunch with my family while vacationing in the Outer Banks. The restaurant offers a combination of classic seafood options, and New Orleans and Asian-influenced signature dishes. The food is good and the waterfront view on the back deck is amazing. I ordered the Soft-shell Crab Sandwich (daily special) and the Fish 'n Chips entrees. The Soft-shell Crab Sandwich came with a side of Salt & Vinegar Fries. Eating salt and vinegar chips at the beach is one of my simple pleasures, so eating salt and vinegar fries while enjoying the waterfront view was awesome. The soft-shell crab was good. It was battered and fried well, however it's not the best soft-shell crab sandwich that I've had in the area. The Fish 'n Chips were standard but good. The dish also included a refreshing and lightly spicy slaw, and Salt & Vinegar Fries which I liked. In addition, I had the Fresh Beignets which were amazing. They were perfectly fried, plated with chocolate sauce, and topped with powdered sugar. Overall, the food is good and the view is amazing. The unique menu options at NC Coast Grill & Bar definitely make it worth the visit. read more

Went to NC Coast our first night of girls weekend. They set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Since it was off season, we luckily had a reservation. From what I understand, they do not do reservations during the busy summer months. We were shown our table very quickly on a lively Friday evening. Got our drink order in and felt adventurous so we ordered the board for 7 people. It was amazing! Some of the best and most creative seafood entrees I've had on the outer banks. I've attached a picture of our beautiful board! Go try it and get there early! read more

The setting of this restaurant was the best thing about it. Service was extremely slow and the food was awful and overpriced.

NC Coast Grill & Bar - View from NC Coast - New American Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

We were waiting to get a table at Aqua and popped over to see what was going on here. We were able to grab a table outside with a perfect view immediately (& cancelled at Aqua). The staff were friendly and wearing masks. Some of the patrons weren't wearing masks and they didn't seem to enforce it but we were outside so it felt a bit safer. We ordered a seafood feast and had a blast sitting outside, enjoying our dinner and watching the sun makes its way to setting. The steamed seafood is naturally gluten free and if you're dairy free, just don't dip it in the butter. It was a chilly evening so our butter ended up freezing. Our shells accumulated rather quickly and we piled a few plates with them. It would probably be better if they provided some kind of large bowl so that the mess was contained. All in all it was a delicious and very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! read more

My family had a wonderful dinner last evening at the NC Coast Grill and Bar! We had wonderful service and enjoyed the location of the restaurant on the sound. The cocktails were excellent. For an appetizer, we had a wonderful crab dip. For our entree, we ordered the "Chef's Board" for three people, and the food was outstanding - I highly recommend ordering the Chef's Board. The dessert of incredible warm beignets with a chocolate and caramel sauce was included with our meal and was a highlight. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Please go visit here and our server was Sandy . It was a great experience , the decor of the ship wreck that adorned the bar was cool . Huge windows from the floor to the ceiling that wrapped around the building . The view of the water was picturesque. For my appetizer we had crab dip with toasted chips , charbroiled oysters with pimento cheese and topped with jalapeño peppers. They were both good . For my entree I had the tomahawk pork chop , it was topped with a bacon jam. That jam was just ok , it was like a sweet sticky bacon crumble that tart ok but after a while it's off putting . It's to much of the bacon jam on top of the pork chop . The seasonal veggies I got double instead of the potato's . The veggies were so good , mixture of squash and re onion and something else I cannot recall . My wife had a cessation salad and then crab legs . She had beer as a drink . I had a signiture cocktail it had rosemary in it , it was refreshing , I had two of them . read more

Had dinner here this week based on good reviews. Website boasted seating at half capacity but clearly was not the case. Almost every table was filled as was the bar seating. The dining area and bar were all one open concept room. If you get a table by the window you'll have a nice sound view. Unfortunately, we were jammed by the front door with lots of passing patrons. Our server was fantastic, very attentive. Drinks and food arrival were timely. My favorite dish was the flash fried cauliflower with a sweet chili sauce. I ordered the Red Sky Classic Shrimp n Grits. Honestly there was nothing classic about this dish. It wasn't really a finish of pico de gallo it was definitely heavy on the pico. There were plenty of shrimp and grits but the taste of the salsa type sauce took away from the classic dish. The rest of the dinner party ordered the specials. I noticed over cooked asparagus ( limpy and brown). Hubby ordered the chicken and goat. Not sure if the chicken got eaten by the goat but the dish was more like a Mac and cheese dish with tiny bits of chicken(see pic). The best part about the whole night were the dessert beignets. The order comes with four beignets sitting on a bed of chocolate. We left our credit card at the restaurant and contacted them to check on it. Again another disappointment because they did not even bother to contact us back. Not a phone call or a message back. They had our number from the reservation. read more

Incredible food and service. We ate on the deck overlooking an amazing sunset. We will be back!

Lunch on a beautiful Saturday, water views and interior ambiance. The hostess didn't impress us, no smile or enthusiasm. We sat outside because the sun was shining. Our waiter, Luke was excellent! We ordered lunch, beet salad with chicken, it was amazing, chicken was flavorful, dressing delicious and the beets and cheese combo was spot on! My friend ordered the curry masala bowl, she loved it, great spices, a lot of Brussel sprouts and vegetables with white rice. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back. read more

Went to the restaurant to get takeout so we could sit by the water and eat. We were told no takeout orders. Very rude especially when the waiter told us we could do takeout. We waited and then found out they wouldn't accommodate lunch for 2. read more

It was a good place right on the water. We sat outside and the temperature was great. The food was top notch and the pint of beer was fantastic. Currently in my life I'm not trying to eat a ton. This place didn't fill up my plate. So for me that was fine. However, if I was in a different state of mind, the smaller plates would have been disappointing. Overall, good place for such a touristy area. read more

We dropped into NC Coast Grill and Bar for a drink while in Duck. The drink was so delicious and the view so inviting we decided we would stick around for dinner. At the suggestion of the person at our inn, we ordered the chefs board. This was an excellent suggestion and extremely large. I loved that we were able to sample a handful of menu items. Everything was delicious and there was so much food we barely ate everything. We will be back again on our next visit!! read more

Food was delicious! Had the crab dip and tuna appetizers. Dip had a large amount of lump crab which is always a concern when getting crab dip. The tuna was seared perfectly and mango salsa with avocado complemented the flavors well. The lobster salad on the sandwich was fresh and the bacon was a great touch! The fish of the day for the tacos was tuna and they were also delicious! read more

We were very excited to come here. Reviews seemed great. We ordered our food and there seemed to be a big misunderstanding with are order. So we ended up paying a lot more than what we wanted to. I guess there was nothing that could be done so it overall ruined our whole dinner. Service was a little slow and we were waiting around a while for our food and check. Food was good but overall disappointed with the experience. I wish there was a better outcome and the restaurant did something to make our experience better and fix the situation but they didn't. They made the misunderstanding our fault when it was obviously the servers. read more

Considering literal proximity to crab, was somewhat disappointed with crab dip. Slower bar service but drinks were fresh and tasty. Beautiful views, would recommend a great spot for a few drinks and splitting an app, main courses are underwhelming. read more

Sat right down as soon as we arrived inside dining ..... outside was a 45 minute wait. When we got the table for two metal stools and a flat top on a pickle barrel?? Very uncomfortable.....when watching the cooks and staff nobody was wearing masks OR gloves...... We got the Chefs specialty board....45 per person.....but worth every penny...best decision we ever made. Everything on the board was a 10!!! Service was awesome....from the first drink on.....it was by far one of the best meals in the OBX. We WILL be back!!! read more

NC coast gave us a 10/10 experience. Great food, wonderful service, and water view. The drinks were also delicious. Our server, Winnie, did an impeccable job. She was friendly and a great server. My boyfriend and I shared the crab dip (delicious). I have a gluten allergy and they did a wonderful job accommodating. My boyfriend enjoyed the crab legs and I loved the clams. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. Well done! read more

We loved the ambiance of a cute rustic restaurant with a great view of the sound and an open kitchen. We started with the gumbo and crab dip which were botb fabulous. I had the lobster bomb with salt and vinegar fries which were all lovely. I appreciated the toasted/ buttered roll. My sister had the shrimp and grits which were absolutely phenomenal to me. Service was fast, but careful as we always had full drinks and happy stomachs. We had a great experience! read more

We've been here a handful of times now and have always had a great experience. Excellent service and delicious food. Outside is beautiful for the sunset and inside is also nice with an open kitchen. About the same pricing as most of the restaurants in the area but you can count on the food being high quality. Crab dip is delicious, cocktails (especially the blood orange margarita) are great and we ordered the "underboard" which is their steamed seafood board and it was so good. Also have had the shrimp and grits dish twice over the years and both times it was great. Kid options came out with a large portion and we tasted the Mac and cheese which was very good. We've decided after having terrible meals elsewhere while we are here on vacation, we'll just keep coming back here instead. read more

While the lady Bartender was amazing....the food was not. Who puts PEPPERS in coleslaw? Answer: no one who knows how to cook. I had the fish and chips and it was so greasy and I couldnt even bite through it....its was so tough. Yay! Fried, greasy, fish jerky. The draft beer was warm and so was the canned beer (see photos). Yuck, bad food, warm beer, don't eat or drink here...but if you do, tip your sweet Columbian bartender. Only thing good about this place. read more

Our group picked this place based on past experience and they were open plus the bonus of outdoor seating with a sunset on a beautiful Spring evening. This place has a nice menu with seafood, non seafood and vegan options. The cauliflower appetizer is delicious. The only bummer is no reservations between April 1-October 31. So you may have a wait for seating especially at busy times like around sunset. They have a nice selection of cocktails & beer/wine. All the food is delicious. The service was quick & friendly. Thanks Justin. This is a good choice in Duck. read more

Love this new addition to Duck! My sister lives here and recommended this place. We took the entire family and everyone loved it. Awesome atmosphere, love the decor, fans and ceilings. Love the view, on the water for a pretty sunset. The food was fantastic. From apps to dessert. Also the cocktails were amazing! The Archer was a gin martini I loved with sour mix and habanero pepper gave it a nice burn. The espresso martini was amazing also. The service was fantastic.. our waitress was a sweetheart and the owner/chef was very attentive and giving us suggestions. For food We had: 1. Ahi tuna martini appetizer, with avocado salad. Soooooo damn good. 2. Chowder soup.. delicious! The gumbo was good too. 3. Salmon entree, topped with pistachio, and with polenta and squash. I LOVED the salmon, cooked perfectly still a tad rare inside. Amazing! 4. Pork chop was huge, and tasty. My husband loved it. 5. Fish tacos my father loved, and so did my mom! 6. Mac n cheese was killer delicious... I loved how it's a side item $4, I'm picky about Mac and this was sooo cheesy and delicious. Cheesecake in a jar was great for dessert. Small portions which I appreciated after a huge dinner. The prices were perfect.. nothing over $30, most dishes were low $20's. The presentation of the food was beautiful, and tasted even better. We all loved it here and will come back any time! Thanks for such a great experience! read more

Duck is a tiny town packed with some pretty spectacular restaurants and shops. We wanted to find a place for lunch and I was craving one thing: anything seafood! Luckily I found it in a bowl of clams and a plate of fish tacos. The Pescado street tacos were pretty incredible. They use the fish of the day, which I think was mahi mahi when we went, come with a nice slaw, guacamole and a few other sauces/toppings that made them great. It was either 2 or 3 tacos for like 16 which isn't terrible. My fiance got the Fig and the Pig pulled pork sandwich and WOW, okay that was really amazing. I still loved my order more because like I said, anything seafood, but his was so tasty. It had brie and fig jam on it and the flavors together... my mouth is watering just typing this up. It came with really crispy thin fries that I stole way too many of. We started off with a dozen of the steamed clams. I loved them, but they really are just plain steamed clams that come with a side of butter and cocktail sauce, so if you prefer a nice wine or oil sauce, these might not be for you. Oh! Cocktails! What would a lunch on vacation be without them? I got the suckleberry and loveeeeed it: vodka cocktail that was lemony and was made with homemade blackberry syrup. I was actually pretty impressed with not just how good it was but the size of the drink. Am I too used to NYC drinks costing more and being half the size? Besides the food and drinks, this spot is right on the water. After lunch we took a walk down the pier and enjoyed the views for a bit. If it's nice out and not too hot, try to grab a table on the back deck! read more

Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food! Definitely will return in the future.

Staff got order wrong, and took forever bringing out food. Food quality is fine. Ambiance is ok.

First of all, if you come here, pray Jackie is your server! She is excellent and knows how to make you feel welcome! We were torn when we came in for the second time because of a menu change as we haven't been here in 2 years. We decided to for with the chef's board and Jackie didn't tell us, said she would surprise us! She was right! Such a great server, I can't say enough! We had steak, salmon, oysters, crab cakes, ahi tuna, shrimp and grits, grilled veggies, a great coleslaw, grilled cauliflower, and pork shank. Well worth the money! I will be back here. In Corolla, NC/Duck, NC it's a tie between the paper canoe and NC coast grill and bar! The drink here at the NC coast was fabulous! read more
