    The views especially at sunset were absolutely amazing. The food was very good. Off season you can get a table by the window with beautiful views. The staff was attentive without being overbearing.

    Sunset Grille I've been to twice now, both times were incredible!! The view and scenery is amazing, the cocktails are awesome, so many unique ones to try. I had 3 appetizers and a dinner. Their Oysters are great, but their clam chowder is legendary. I recommend all seafood lovers give it a shot, I wish we had chowder like that at home. Perfect consistency and lots of big clams. One employee Onica, in the selfie attached, deserves a raise & should be the face of the business. She is incredibly dedicated to bringing good energy and happy customers back to eat. Taking pictures for people, laughing and making everyone smile. I think she was just a hostess, but wow she needs to be recognized. If you see her there please acknowledge her!

    A fantastic lunch with friends. I highly recommend! Great food! The views are beautiful! The waitress was friendly!

    The reviews on this place are accurate. I wouldn't waste any of my money to come here. Food just wasn't good and also made one person in the party have immediate stomach pain. Ribs were dry, macaroni and cheese was concrete thick, grouper is what made someone feel sick, scallop appetizer was overpriced for 3 overcooked bbq drenched food, grouper was rubbery and not fresh. Food was overpriced for having awful quality and overcooked entrees. Bartender has no idea what he was doing and drinks came out disgusting. Water tasted bad and drinks were way too sugary. The server was kind and very on top of helping us.

    This beach bar is more of a destination for Jello shots and beer pong. With its plain decor, institutional feel and sugary drink menu, I knew this was just going to be a few drinks before dinner. They have great staff and a beautiful view of the water, but first impressions drove my dinner plans to a warmer and more intimate view of the water. Cheers!

    We came here for dinner. Judging by other Yelp reviews, we tampered our expectations a bit which was helpful. People were probably trying hard, we just weren't impressed by the service. The food was good, I got the pictured special (lobster, shrimp, and scallops with a vodka sauce and cheese gnocchi) but nothing at our table was amazing. Take that back, the view at sunset was amazing, which is why we chose this place after all. Beautiful sunset!

    Fun and relaxing ambience. They have fun signature drinks served in fun cups that you get to take home with you if you want to. Food and service was great as well.

    Awesome views good food. So my mom and group of our OBX vacation friends and family decided to come here for a light dinner. I previously had fond memories of this place with my parents years ago but the conch fritters I loved were no longer there. My drink of choice was the Caribbean Kool-aid I ordered a cup of New England clam chowder, a dozen oysters garlic Parmesan lobster fries. My mom ordered the fried oysters with fries and slaw. The chowder broth was super thick and the taste was bland the temperature was not hot enough so I sent it back for the she crab soup which was good. The fries were flavorful but Warm my mom said her fried oysters were good but the slaw was sour other then that the food that I was supposed to hot needed to be hot but the view is beautiful!

    We took the whole family (12) for the last meal on our spring break vacation. The view of the sunset was amazing and worth the trip. The service both at the bar and our waiter were very attentive, friendly, and on point. Everyone enjoyed their meals - I had oysters on a half-shell with the Cajun Redfish for my entree, my wife had the oyster Rockefeller with the salmon for her entree. Our grandkids all had the barbecue ribs which were extraordinary for a seafood place. This was a great ending to a great trip!

    The overall rating on YELP does not do this place justice nor accurately reflect the quality of food and service provided. Recently renovated and overlooking the Currituck sound, I really enjoy their seafood and service. The dishes are delicious and there's no pretentiousness involved with meals here, a characteristic that isn't often common for a lot of restaurants in the touristy parts of Duck. Even on a busy night the hostess will find a way to sneak you in. There are a few arcade games on the upper deck to allow for entertainment with kids. Local craft brew beers are available and the bar serves delicious. cocktails too. I ordered their mahi-mahi special with mango salsa, coupled with mashed potatoes, and broccoli rabe. The brussels sprouts as an appetizer were also delicious with lemon, sea salt, and olive oil. Overall one of my favorite restaurants on the Outer Banks and worth visiting, even if you just want a beer and view of the Currituck sound.

    Drinks we ordered without souvenir glasses!

    What a fun restaurant! The restaurant boasts seating both inside and out (with umbrellas and shade). In the evening there are fun patio lights! We went around lunch on Saturday (May 31st) and easily got a table. That may not be the case in late June/July/August. My husband and I ordered fun cocktails and we got to keep the souvenir cups. These aren't just plastic cups with their logo. They're cool ceramic glasses and my husband's was made out of a coconut! For our appetizer we ordered the crab dip which was pretty good. My husband ordered the blackened Mahi which he thought was good (his exact words). I ordered a bowl of sherry lobster soup which was divine. It came with a bunch of crackers. I couldn't finish the soup as everything was super filling. I would definitely go back to this restaurant for lunch!

    Amazing transformation. We have been here numerous times over the last 10 years and have been underwhelmed and dissatisfied in the food and service. However, we just went and the management has changed. The food was delicious, the best we've had in the OBX and that's saying something. We reluctantly went with our large group even warning them about our mediocre past experiences and we were pleasantly proved wrong. They still have the drink menu with fun souvenir cups but the menu has changed and the service has improved! I would definitely recommend giving them another chance and I'm glad we did.

    What time should 10 of us go to make sure we get a seat?

    We arrived just before 6 and were initially told an hour and a half wait. So if you can get there before 5:30, I think you won't have a long wait. We lucked out cause we ended up waiting less than 30 minutes for a table.

    Can you order take out?

    Yes

Reader, I was wrong - this soup was in fact Thai level spicy. I would go as far as to say it was instrumental in cutting my cold short. Cleared my sinuses up immediately. But the Thai food isn't even the best part about this place. They also serve fresh sushi, and the rice to fish ratio is exactly right, not just a bunch of rice with a little fish in the middle which is my ultimate pet peeve. I ordered a toro roll and not only was the fish super fresh, but the roll was well constructed. Ambiance wise this place is bright, clean and modern. Service was fast and friendly. Truly 10/10, no notes.
