I had raw dozen raw oysters, which were ok. Service was decent, better service from another server/manager than our server. I think outdoor spaces are nicer, but was not open yet. read more

Yummy food and a beautiful patio on the sound. Our waiter was attentive and friendly (Emery I think). Between the 6 of us we all really enjoyed our meal. They also have lots of fun adult drinks!! read more

Sunset Grille & Raw Bar was a great family vacation experience on our last night. Looking for a nicer restaurant, we decided on Sunset. The Calamari Fries were cooked nicely, but they were a little cold when they came to the table. I also ordered the Seafood Trio, the special for the night. The shrimp, scallops, and lump crab were excellent and they were accompanied by a delicious pile of mashed potatoes and broccolini. Above all, the service was great considering we had a party of 12 and the restaurant was busy. read more

Our family went to dinner here last night and only one person enjoyed their meal (redfish). Prime rib was disappointing and very gristly. Seafood trio portion was extremely small and unappetizing. My wife ate the scallops but couldn't eat the crab cake or shrimp. None of it was seasoned just sitting in a bowl of butter and the crabmeat was fishy tasting with a mealy texture. Bacon wrapped scallops were dry and only got 3 for $15. Five coconut shrimp were also $15. We could have eaten at a much better restaurant for less money. On a positive note our server was very friendly. read more

Service was bad. Water tasted like pond water. Waited a hour just to get some drinks. People were bringing their cards to the waiter tired of waiting to pay. Decided to leave and cancel our order which the response was "okay great". Service was trash. And the reviews everyone else has put speaks for themselves read more

Food was pretty good, front decks people were super nice but our waitress was rude! I think it would be a good place for drinks and a view but the food wasn't my favorite. read more

Sunset Grille & Raw Bar - Crab cakes weren't awful and the mashed potatoes were good but broccolini wasn't seasoned and cole slaw was bad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

Avoid this place! The food was good but we were sitting out on the dock and the wind was insane tonight. We asked to be moved inside... there were literally dozens of bugs getting blown into my food. Instead of moving us inside without issue (as a server did for the table next to us) we were given an attitude and asked "do you want the check". I had read some poor reviews on this place and should have heeded the warnings but the lure of She Crab Soup got me. Rude staff does not help any business even if their food is decent. read more

A bit too windy to sit on the patio today but they have a lovely deck! Fun cocktails with souvenir glasses and a delicious menu, sea bass is a must try! Aleeseya was our server and she was fantastic, friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! read more

We stop in every time we are in OBX, and the last visit was excellent! They were busy but our server was very attentive. The meals we ordered were all very good, all hot and served at the same time for a party of 4. The view of the sound made for a perfect lunch. We will definitely be back. read more

Well the view is great and that's about the best thing I can say about the place. I have gone there in the past ten years or so and has been good however lately the place has really gone to the dogs. The happy hour menu is hard to get and the shrimp pretty sad. Shrimp was old and tiny not good. The wings well I've had better. When I got the bill I was told that the draft beer I had was five bucks and the bottle beer was 2.50. My friend was told the exact opposite really watch the bill you get. If you want to watch the game be prepared for the most horrid music with drum beat that would give a woodpecker a head ache. read more

They have a really good shirley temple. Food was awesome. Our server was the actual best. He offered to take pictures of us at sunset and was very attentive to our table. And the oysters were perfect read more

If location was all that mattered this place would be a winner. Unfortunately once past the lush tropical facade and front lobby it was down hill. We stopped in for drinks and the raw bar and took a spot at the inside bar. Unfortunately it was between shift and just before dinner so there was one bartender for the inside and outside bar. He was helpful enough but pleasant and friendly he was not. We ordered Local raw oysters, steamed shrimp and Cherrystone Middleneck clams. The clams and oysters were good. The steamed shrimp were excellent. The floor was dirty as was the bar countertop which seemed no one wiped down before or after someone sat down. My husband, who is a non drinker, asked for a non-alcoholic beer. They had one, not one brand, one bottle in the house. So after one drink we ventured out to the outdoor deck where there was quite a foul smell combined with the spiders that OBX is known for, which were everywhere, seemed to spoil what would be a great location to watch the sunset. Overall I would say about average food, cleanliness and service gets a C- here. Sorry folks I won't be back. read more

I usually don't hit a place like this with a 1-star review but the server and manager were both extremely useless and non-apologetic about a billing mistake. When I pointed out we were over billed 10$, the Manager told me "it's just 10$ relax". I started the conversation with "I don't want a comp and I am already tipping 20%, this is just about the attitude you're giving me for fixing the mistake YOU made, if I hadn't noticed, you certainly didn't". She rolled her eyes and walked away. There are plenty of better places to spend your money on the island. read more

We had wonderful food and the views were amazing. I highly recommend the Castaway Coconut drink and pay extra to keep the souvenir cup. It is worth it! read more

This is a no reservation restaurant. As a party of 2 we were totally fine with eating at the bar and enjoying the great view. There are two floors and an outdoor area that each have a bar, however it's one bartender per floor. So as she's slinging drinks for an entire floor and bar area, she also has to take food orders and go downstairs to check and receive the order. It took awhile to get our food bc the bar service was so behind but the food was fantastic. It would have been a different experience if we were sitting at a table but due to the way the restaurant has the one bartender so slammed she's doomed from the start. She was fantastic it's purely the way the staff. Food and drinks were great. We had the bacon wrapped scallops, short rib ravioli and Chilean sea bass. Worth the time but would definitely go table service next time. read more

The food was delicious but the service...was slow and inaccurate. We ordered oysters but it never came out, we then paid forgetting about them, and had to turn around to get them because they never brought them to us. read more

It is incredibly difficult in this area for the service industry. They are so short staffed that we should all be patient and compassionate. That being said, this restaurant's staff went out of their way to take care of us. When it took a bit to get us seated as a group of 6, the bartender gave us recommendations along with great drinks. The food was extremely good, from the steamed shrimp and snow crabs to the Crab Cake Sandwich. The view matched the food, so we recommend a stop on your way back up or back from Corolla. read more

On June 24th & 25th we enjoyed tasty dinners of Mac'n Cheese, a Crab cake Sand w/Fries; Mahi Mahi w/Blue Moon Beer, snd the Seafood Trio. Alicia & Julia, thank you for excellent meals, outstanding service, and awesome sunsets on the Sound. See you in October. CkIn*FB*YELP read more

Food was okay, but we have been to other restaurants where the food is outstanding. I'm not sure I would recommend Sunset Grill for a meal, but I would definitely recommend it for a drink and outside seating to enjoy the incredible views! Very relaxing. read more

The grouper was excellent and the service was good. The view over the sound was awe striking. My wife and I really enjoyed this restaurant

We were seated at a table where the air conditioner was dripping on one of us. When we pointed it out, they wiped up the water, and did nothing else..no offer to move the table or reseat us to one of the other open tables in the restaurant. The hostess was told about no toilet paper in one of the women's stall. She came in past the women waiting for use the bathroom, used the stall herself, and did nothing about restocking. The waiter was nice enough, but non attentive, and, as I write this, made us wait 20 minutes and counting to get our bill after we finished our meal. Our food was fine, husband ordered a burger medium, it came out well. The view is great, probably the best part. read more

Stopped for a quick bite and drink. The kitchen closes for an hour before dinner, so it was not a convenient time . Still got the shrimp spring roll app. read more

I visited this restaurant during a vacation with my friends. The service was very accommodating to our large group however the checks were difficult to separate which made it confusing for all of us to pay. Other than that, the experience was very good and I enjoyed my food! Our group took pictures during sunset on the dock and it was a very pretty view. I would recommend to anyone that wants to go out to dinner in the area. read more

I do not know how this only has 2.5 stars. Went for lunch and had the seared tuna sandwich and my wife had the blackened shrimp tacos. Both dishes were very very good. Service was great and prices were reasonable. I review a lot of places, and I am shocked that this is not atleast 4 star. Would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Food was not good & the service from our outside bartender who took some of our orders was even worse.

We have been coming to Duck for almost 40 years and have a vacation home here. Had been to Sunset Grille in the past, but my husband and I had the impression it was just a drinking hangout and bar food. We were craving fried oysters and they are the only eating establishment in Duck with them in the menu. So we went. Well... Sunset Grille passed all of our expectations! We had no wait and just sitting outside on the back deck with the breeze and the sun dipping down in the sky topped off our getaway. Draft beer menu is limited, but the food was delicious and hit the spot. Eric was our server and he was very busy since they were down a server, but his charm and the dedication to his job weighed it all out. What a pleasant evening we had! read more

One of the few places around the beach where they actually use blenders and you can get a frozen drink. Most of them are eye catchers served up in fun and funky glasses and large however not really strong but tasty. Prices are decent for what it is. You get to take your glass home too which is nice. They have a lot of food and snack choices so you can nibble while drinking. You will see it all here as it tends to draw the folks that are ready to let it all hang out. read more

Our ladies group ended our trip with a great meal at Sunset Grille! All of our food was delicious and very timely.

Poor service. We got cut off on a slow Sunday after we paid the bill and tipped well. Seemed like they just didn't want to keep working at 10:30 when they close at 11. Will not spend money there again read more

the food and drinks we're great! Our water was great but the front door staff could put a smile on their faces. we will be back for sure!

45 min wait inside so decide to walk the pier and found instant seating! Food was great. Everything cooked well and seasoned well! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The location is prime! It's right on the water and from the outside, it looks like a blast! Tiki lights, awesome view and a pier too! Unfortunately, the location is the only positive going for this place. On a Thursday night, this place was dead. Granted- it was off season, but I was expecting it to be a little busier. My family originally wanted to sit outside. After being sat at their patio, my mom noticed that the floor was filthy under our table. There were forks and food left over from a previous table. My parents were cold, and a little grossed out by the floor- so we asked to sit inside instead. We were disappointed to see that the floor was filthy underneath our table inside as well- forks and food for a previous table. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our table. I ordered a magic marlin drink. The drinks were all supposed to come with a souvenir glass, but when I asked for a regular glass our server stated that it was fine and it was also $3 cheaper. The drink was decent- fruity. Nothing special about the presentation of it. We ordered the seasoned fries and boom boom shrimp for our appetizers. The fries were decent- but INCREDIBLY salty! We only ate half of the order and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. The boom boom shrimp was decent , but the shrimp was not fresh and the boom boom sauce wasn't anything special. My entire party wasn't impressed with this place. There were bugs all over the outdoor patio, lights and ceiling outside. When I say bugs... I mean spider webs, everywhere. I understand it's the off season and these were outdoor areas that I saw the bugs- but it was clear that they do not clean. Tourist trap. It's a shame - the location is perfect! We will not be returning. read more

We came for a late lunch in September and were seated near the water. Our waitress Taylor was great, and the food was delicious. I got the Angus burger and fries, and both were perfect. Our son got the truffle burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had after one bite. My husband got the grouper bites, and said you could tell they were fresh. The specialty drinks came in souvenir mugs based on the drink, and the T-shirt was one I wanted to wear when I got back home. Came for the food, and would come back again! read more

Sunset grille isn't the best restaurant, but it's a decent one for the price and view if you're seated outside. We came here for lunch and both got a burger. I tried the truffle with the jam on the side and the person I was eating with got a regular cheeseburger. Mine was pretty good, but I would say the price on mine in particular was a bit to high. The jam tasted just like BBQ and when I put it on my burger it truly felt like I was just eating a pulled pork BBQ sandwhich. That's fine if you like that kind of thing, but I felt the price for that when it could be simply achieved with BBQ sauce was too high. The fries were pretty good particularly when dipped in ranch. Nice and crispy with good flavour. The view was by far the highlight. If you were sitting on the outdoor patio you have a beautiful view of the water and birds flying around it. Very little to obstruct your view aside from the umbrellas and tables of other patrons, which is easily seen over. It was a sunny day which added to it all the more. There was also a gazebo and dock that you could walk down to to see the view even better. It was beautiful around noon and would be stunning at sunset. However, I do believe seating is first come first serve so you would need to be there at just the right time to get a good seat for the sunset. There also isn't much of a view inside from what I saw, but I did eat outside so there may be another inside area that has a view. Overall, I good place to come and stop by for a quick lunch and if you can get it there's a beautiful view. read more
