One…read morething I really liked is that before you go to the counter, you need to have your order ready. That helps speed up service and not have lines being held up by "I'll have uhh.... Uhhhh... zzzz" and we all hate that. Lots of outdoor seating as well and you get to have that great OBX breeze while eating. I'll be back for sure!

The Watermen burger was a bit dry, 3/5. The shrimp was juicy and was indeed easy to peel, but I ate the shell anyway. The ambiance and vibes get 5/5 stars here. I came here on a Thursday, but heard that there's live music on the weekends. I ended up here because no other nearby restaurants could accommodate 13 people. Highly recommend for large groups!

We ate it on a picnic table outside of the place. Alex was there roasting corn and was quite friendly and talkative. Nice guy!

The smoothies are SO fresh here and we loved it. Their chicken strips with fries were so incredibly delicious too. Our fish tacos were interesting (Legendary Seafood Tacos)- the mahi fish was cooked to perfection but wrapped in a hard corn taco shell inside a soft shell. The pickled veggies were a great touch but not sure how I felt with the taco style. Still delicious and fresh fish so I'll take the win!

The kitchen and dive bar has a local feel to it, with customers chatting it up with each other and the staff. The staff themselves are extremely friendly and one of them even checked in on how we liked our food. Every single food item was seasoned and cooked to perfection and I absolutely loved their hush puppies. The mussels appetizer was delicious, and the combo baskets that we got were also really tasty. We were plenty stuffed. The menu offers both fried and steamed seafood options and there are also non-seafood options to choose from. The menu has a bar for spirits and cocktails, but they also have an offering of wine options!

We started with eggrolls ( huge and packed with pork and cabbage, I especially liked the hot mustard) and the sweet potato fries to share. The dipping sauces were so yummy.

For dinner, we also got the cajun tuna (DELISH and a HUGE portion), the general tso's, fried rice with shrimp, and the shrimp with broccoli. All were excellent! We forgot our dressings to go and called the owners when we remembered, although they only open for dinner, they met us on our way out of town DAYS LATER at 9am to get them to us.

Upon arrival the restaurant was very clean and wonderfully decorated. The place was completely empty (it was a Thursday evening). We asked for a beer but they claimed they had no ABC license. We ordered food but sadly there were very few authentic Dominican items and it was mostly bar food. We got calamari and a shrimp basket. It looked like they cooked the food and then sprinkled some bread crumbs on top. It was also over priced. Really disappointed in this place.
