My experience was just ok. I ordered the Caribbean short ribs. I was really excited and it was just alright. Nothing seemed fresh, the beef had a texture of being reheated and I would guess that this was actually a chuck roast rather than short ribs. The slaw tasted very mayo-ish and very not fresh, almost a little sour so I decided not to eat it because I was nervous. The pickled onions were mushy and slimy, I think most of them were past their keep. My friend got the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. The food came fast and the server was nice. The place isn't fully decorated on the inside and was definitely loud. Probably would not check this spot out again. read more

We have been in Outer Banks for a week now. I have to say we haven't had a bad meal yet, we have been eating seafood everyday just because it's always fresh. These were by far the BEST scallops I've ever eaten, melted in your mouth. Prices were reasonable with the bill only 86.00 for 2 including drinks (plus tip ) Our server was awesome, she came over several times, asked what we needed but also made small talk we felt right at home. This place was hopping by the time we left and it was getting loud and the food and drinks were flowing. When in Nags Head OBX make sure you stop. read more

We had a large group for dinner on a Friday night and we were seated quickly. Our server was friendly and took our order promptly. The food came out quick and hot. They have live music on Friday nights in a small/open space, so make sure to get there early if you have small children. We would definitely come back on a date night to enjoy the music and drinks! read more

I've been coming to OBX for 20+ years and had difficulty finding good food for non-seafood eaters. This was by far the best dinner we've ever had on the island. The pickle fries weren't our favorite and there was some accidental calamari contamination, but the kind and attentive waitress, fast service, and delicious entrees made up for it. My sister and I split the mac and cheese with Nashville chicken and the dirty bird sandwich. Both were absolutely phenomenal! The restaurant was a bit loud, but other than that I couldn't recommend it more. read more

Our first time eating at this new venue. There's plenty of parking. The place is huge(2 levels of dining). Lots of seating for large parties. Our group of 8 came at 5:30p and we were seated immediately. Staff were friendly. Our server was always checking on us. Our table was long so it was harder for the further people to hear her talking. Food was hit or miss. My sandwich was super high because they placed 2 chicken breast on top of each. It's impossible to sink your teeth into something that tall. It had good Nashville Hot spices. The fries were hot and the portion was plenty. read more

It was 4th of July and the staff were busting their butts and keeping it all together. We sat at the bar and although the bartender was slammed, she was very attentive. The sushi stack is my favorite. This is my second time getting it and I would highly recommend it. Great place for drinks and to grab some food at the bar! read more

Tried a new place off 158, close to MP 8. This restauarant has tons of parking. They also have 2 levels of dining with plenty of seating for large groups. Our group of 8 easily got a table around 5:00p but it is off season. The chairs on the high tops have backs for those that want to know. Food was hit or miss. Some of group were not impressed with the talked about Hula Chicken. Chicken thigh is used in this entree. The salads and bowls looked delicious. I enjoyed a small appetizer of the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. It was enough for a meal. I also ordered a delicious side dish of their Mexican corn. Service was good. It is a bit noisy in the dining area but that's expected. read more

Amazing!!!!! Highly recommend! Fun drinks! Creative appetizers! Lots of choices! Great kid's menu! For appetizers, the cheese curds were SOOO GOOD! For food, I got the crab legs and those were amazing as well! Kids were happy with the chicken strips (huge portion!!) and pizza! The dirty bird sandwich was ginormous! I didn't taste that, but I heard it was delicious! Good prices! The service was amazing. Ellie was so attentive. Everything was decked out for Christmas - super cute vibe. All around great spot! read more

We loved this place so much that we ate here twice during our 5 day stay in OBX. Everything we had was delicious and the vibe here is so fun! There is an outdoor bar if you're waiting on a table, along with plenty of cozy outdoor seating. We wanted to try seafood boil on our first night, and it was nothing short of amazing. All the seafood was so fresh and food was served quickly. Also, the grapefruit mojito might be my new favorite cocktail! read more

The seafood boil was pretty good and a nice portion of food. We also got the pickle fries which were very good! All of the staff were very kind and attentive! I really liked the restaurant itself as it had a lot of seating - upstairs and outside as well as the first level. We also had no wait which was really nice considering it was still pretty busy! Would definitely recommend! read more

I boardered on giving a 5 here. Could have a really cool outdoor bar area but feels a little unfinished. The wait wasn't bad, as they let us do call ahead for a party of 21. I like the vibe, you were not jammed in and there was room to spread out. My one downside, was it was super hot in the restaurant. Almost uncomfortably so The drinks were good the the beer list was decent. She crab soup was good, calamari was good. All in all the food got high marks from our group. read more

Apart from the seafood broil, the food was excellent. However the wait time is very long (40+ min for a table and 60+ min for food) and it's hot inside. The bartender outside was rude and it took way too long to close our tab when our table was ready. Our waitress inside was great, but I think she had too many tables. We barely saw her and rarely had our waters refilled. She did offer to replenish our alcoholic drinks often enough. The ambient temperature is too warm for how long the wait is and the limited water provided. On to the food, the tuna blt was excellent. Large chunk of fresh tuna along with bacon, tomato, lettuce, and ripe avocado. Garlic cilantro fries were not great, very greasy. The krabby patty, burger, and bangin' shrimp were good. Coating on the pickle fries wasn't great, too plain. Seafood boil was all butter and no other flavor. Shrimp in the seafood boil was way overcooked. Overall, we liked the food not the experience. read more

This place is so cute and our waitress was very attentive! Everything on the menu sounded so delicious, it was hard to settle on just one dish. All of us really enjoyed our meals! Each entree was a TON of food - we definitely could have split something. You can for sure count on having leftovers! This place has a very friendly and cool atmosphere and would be a great place to just hang out at the bar. They also have a great drink menu with many delicious options. We will definitely be back in the future! Highly recommend! read more

Oh when you first come in they have these cool screens with all the beers listed and a picture of a keg showing you how much they have left. So cool! The ahi bites OMG, you get a TON for $13! I couldn't believe how many bites for that price. The crab dip, it was ok to me. The cilantro garlic fries- not very impressed read more

Service was absolutely top notch, Thank You. Many choices for starters, salads, sandwiches, tacos, entrees. It wad a tuff decision to make the right choice off the menu. Wife had a proseco and loved it, i had an Old Fashion and was very good. We started with The fish spread, holy smokes it was delightful. Probably the best Ive had in OBX. We also shared the summer salad and it was spectacular, dressing was real nice. The wife had the fish n chips and was very happy it was cooked well done, maybe a bit too much breading...but had alot of fish. I had the Mahi fish tacos and there were three. They were good, maybe a little more blackened on the fish..but very good! read more

Such a cute place! They were a new place down on the beach and after reading the reviews I knew I had to try this place for myself. I started out with the Gouda Crab Dip with tortilla chips instead of the Naan since I dont eat Gluten and it was delicious. The tortilla chips were super yummy and I could tell that they are made fresh and so is the Crab Dip. We also wanted to try the Waygu Beef Burgers and it was so yummy. Again no bun but the meat was flavorful. Hopefully next time I go they do have the Gluten Free Bun alternative for people like me. The service was pretty good. Can't complain too much. Very nice girl. I can't wait to come back to try the beef short ribs! read more

This was one of my favorite places we visited on a recent Outer Banks trip! The restaurant is cute and I liked the beachy vibes. We started with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and they were so good! They were packed with that classic cheesesteak flavor but in a an egg roll. They had a really good seasoning on them and good dipping sauce as well. I got the banging shrimp tacos and they were yummy! The shrimp were huge and perfectly fried. My boyfriend really enjoyed his as well. The crab cake and hush puppies were both really good. read more

Been coming to the OBX for many years and this place has changed has a number of times over the years. The newest version is a step down. The food was mediocre at best. The best item I had was the vegetables and they were very well seasoned. Mashed potatoes were bland. Steak was well cooked but under seasoned. Service was slow and took along time for food to come out. One of the leaks was cold. Upside they have nice outdoor area if you have to wait. read more

Had tons of things to talk about very personable at the outside bar. The outside seating area was large and you can bring your dog. read more

Was pleasantly surprised that the wait here was only 30 minutes on a busy weekday where nearby restaurants had over 1.5 hour waits. The side patio is great for waiting for your table while enjoying a drink. We sat upstairs inside and our waiter was great. There are very large TVs inside that are viewable from the top and bottom areas (great for sports). The food came out pretty fast and the portions were generous for the price. If I had to nitpick the bottom bun on the BLTA absorbed all of the juices so it was pretty non existent within a few minutes and the outdoor bar area doesn't really have a great place to order your drink without reaching over people sitting at the bar. Overall great experience and will be back. read more

Came across this restaurant by accident when turning around! We were told that we had a 45 minute wait so we went out to the patio bar and come to find out they had cornhole and plenty of Adirondack chairs to sit in so we ordered drinks in the bar waited 10 minutes and our table was ready.! Got seated in a booth inside in some, sort of a bar area with lots of TVs to keep you entertained. We were greeted by our very pleasant waitress Nadera, who was the most accommodating person I've ever met. She answered all our questions regarding the menu, took our drink order and returned quickly with those! She took her appetizer order and quickly put that in and within 10 minutes, we had our appetizers on the table. She took our food order and it really didn't take very long before that was on the table as well. All in between that she was coming back-and-forth to check out us refill waters get more drinks, etc.. Overall, a good restaurant the menu is sort of limited but I ended up finding something I was happy with. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Let's start by saying ..... if you leave hungry you must have a tapeworm. Generous portions for a reasonable price FINALLY! Service is the best I have ever had in the OBX. Everything we had was cooked exactly the way we asked for. I had the KRABBY patty.... tough to eat without going through a bunch of napkins...but would order all day.... everyday. My wife had the BLTA and said it was perfect and would definetely get it again. SHAKAS welcome to the OBX...hope you plans to stay are long term.....THANK YOU! read more

We arrived at 4pm and were seated immediately. Our waitress was very friendly and provided A+ service. The beer was cold. Now for the food. We were disappointed with the quality of the two dishes. The food came out right away after ordering. The Huli Huli chicken dish (fyi it is chicken thighs) It was recently cooked, but the rice and beans were cold. The burrito bowl, with Mahi Mahi protein added, needs improvement as the beans and rice were cold and the grilled Mahi was room temperature with no seasoning evident. Overall, the dish just didn't have much flavor. Our overall experience was, food wise, just wasn't good. read more

Dhaka's is new to OBX, but a great addition! The staff was extremely friendly and attentive outside at the bar and during dinner. There was a variety of options for everyone! The food was good! The outside was a great place to wait with a full bar willing to make kid drinks. They were all extremely friendly! There were lots of chairs, corn hole, and room to run around. read more

There are a few positives and a few negatives to run through. 2/5 stars seems drastic, and was earned due to our experience but I feel like on a good night this restaurant could have resulted in a 4 star. Expect a wait when you get there. They told us 55 minutes but it only took about 30 which was great. They have a great outdoors area to play cornhole and get drinks. The downside is the bartenders are extremely rude and do not want to be there. My wife wanted a mocktail and the bartender seemed so annoyed we even asked. We did not get his name but he was about 45-55 yrs old and was terribly rude to all of us. He also made me the wrong drink and when I told him he got pissed off. I ordered an espresso martini and got a margarita. Big difference. Then inside we ordered and the waitress was so sweet. The inside is extremely loud but has a ton of TVs for sports games. You can barely hear the people at your table. The bang bang shrimp were incredible, the fried pickles had too much coating. Now the worst part was waiting over an hour for food. There were only 4 meals so it shouldn't have taken that long. The food was decent, the krabby patty was solid. The garlic fries were very greasy. Overall the food was okay and with good service probably could have been awesome. But with the terrible service and experience I wouldn't be back. read more

First visit. Busy - parking was difficult but they have lots of good size tables so our table of 6 got seated quickly during what I consider prime dinner time (6:30). The group's order covered pretty much every segment of the menu- from raw oysters to burgers--everyone had a good meal. I found it to be a little loud, but not unbearably so. read more
