My wife and I went for dinner after a long hot day on Roanoke Island…read more Both ordered Caesar salad, one with added crab cake and the other with Coconut Shrimp. The service was excellent making us feel at home. The salad itself was very good; dressed just right and lots of shredded parm cheese. The extras were spectacular. Crab cake full of crab and spiced just right. The coconut shrimp actually tasted like coconut, with the shrimp fried perfectly, tender and juicy. All future coconut shrimp will be judged from this excellent example.

He was initially warm and as we ordered, asked that he let us know if we inadvertently selected a dish containing pork. The dishes arrived with astonishing speed. The Caesar salad had some unidentified fried object on it and when I asked the waiter, he let me know it was pork rinds. He did not acknowledge that it was an error and flippantly suggested I remove them. I asked for a plate to put them on. The waiter's demeanor turned cold after this (what I considered innocuous) exchange. Regarding the dishes, everything was beautifully presented and arrived hot and fresh at our table. I would not recommend the fried cauliflower as it was very bland with some chili sauce splashed over top. The scallops were very well prepared however. NC Coast is a nice spot for a special meal, especially with the view. Just hope the service is more consistent with other guests.

The outdoor ordering section has a separate line for food/ drink and one for drinks alone. They made the most creative margaritas(wine based). Flavors are Pina colada, strawberry, mango and I think a couple of others. They do pack a "punch" so drink slow. There is beer in tap. Food is casual snacks like chips and salsa, quesadillas and other snacks. We tried the quesadillas and they are huge and made fresh. Staff is super friendly. They are quite busy but do attend to many hungry and thirsty customers. Kudos to them.

We started with cocktails which were amazing and the coconut shrimp. Some of the best we've had. For entrees I did the crab cakes which again were amazing and my husband did a chicken dish.

They definitely have gotten this right!

This truck used to be stationed further down the outer banks but has recently moved to Kitty Hawk. Food is made fresh to order. You can call ahead and pickup and pay or you can order at the truck and wait. We waited since it was our first time. The food is delicious. Their meals come with a side of their homemade Pico and fresh chips. I got the Buxton Burger, a 6 oz Patty and added cheese. Comes on a nice roll with all the condiment sauces on the side. I also got onions, pickles and lettuce. Wife got the Wanchese steak sandwich. That was HUGE, she only has had and I enjoyed the rest. Plenty of steak on a nice long bun. I'd probably ask for mustard and Mayo next time. Waffle fries were super fresh and delicious. They will definitely get my vote next time we are looking for a meal or burgers and steak subs.

Antojitos serves up some seriously delicious food and is the place for Mexican food in the OBX area…read morein my opinion. Here's the deal: Antojitos restaurant features both traditional and Mexican-American with a more traditional leaning in ingredients and most importantly, flavor! One thing that makes this restaurant stand out is that the meat here is marinated and cooked in a traditional style including its Al Pastor option. Something many Mexican restaurants don't do or don't do well. This is then mixed with other ingredients that make the food vibrant, including pickled jalapeños with carrots, custom hot sauces, and Antojitos own crema among others. We tried fajitas which were some of the best I've had, Al Pastor gordita, chicken chile relleno, and a torta cubana. All amazing and made every person in my party want to come back during our trip. Portions are large, you will not go hungry. Prices are very reasonable and definitely less than restaurants "on the strip". The restaurant is medium sized with plenty of seating, including tables that can be used for large parties. Service was fantastic and with a smile. Drinks never went dry. If eating in the restaurant look for specials on the boards which don't appear on the menu. Highly recommend, I will definitely be back. We ate at the Powells Point location and it is absolutely worth the little drive if you are staying on the islands. Happy eating and see you there!

First, the value for what you get on the seafood platter compared to the price, so worth it. Popcorn shrimp was excellent, they definitely bread it in house. Seafood Virginia was spectacular. Crab cakes were crispy, everything that was fried had a thin coating, which my family and I prefer. The pan-seared seafood platter was also delicious! The service was quick and nice. The restaurant is not huge but we got in with a family of 5 within 15 minutes during happy hour. A must try in the OBX!!

Our party of 6 split up to avoid having to wait 45 minutes for a single table to sit us all. We were a party of 4 and another table of 2. We had different waitress and the one table was almost finished their meal before the other table was served even though we sat down at the same time. I was informed the scallops were chewy due to being over cooked and the soft shell crab was fishy tasty like they were not fresh and they cut a small one into two not coming close to filling the taco shell. The peel your own shrimp were also over cooked making it difficult to get the shell off. I will however say the clam chowder was delicious, the she crab soup was a little too rich for me to finish my bowl but was very tasty. The blackened tuna bites were amazing. However despite my meal being good the over consensus was not good.
