Luckily we were seated right away at Lucky 12 Tavern. We got the crab bites for an appetizer. It was pretty good but not sure it was worth $14. I got the fish and chips which were okay. The fish was a little bland tasting but with the tartar sauce it was yummy. Their fries are pretty tasty. My sister and cousin got the beyond burger and buffalo bird. Both of them said their meals were satisfying and it had hit the spot after a long drive to North Carolina.

Had the Puppydrum (white fish) fried fish sandwich with chimichurri fries. I would absolutely order that again! Great local beer choices, really friendly staff and fast service! The prices may seem a bit high, but way worth it considering the quality you get vs. nearby tourist food places. Right off the main road, one of the best fish sandwiches I have ever had.

We almost let the reviews talk us out of trying Firetender, and I'm really glad we didn't…read more My daughter ordered the mac and cheese, and somehow it ended up being one of the best things on the table. We were unofficially judging grilled cheese and mac and cheese all week, and this one absolutely held its own. I ordered the Smash Burger Pizza, and I was skeptical until the first bite. It somehow captures all the flavors of a really good smash burger, complete with the tangy "special sauce" flavor, pickles, beef, cheese, and onions, but on a wood-fired pizza crust. It sounds a little ridiculous on paper. It works. I also accidentally ordered one of their cannabis-infused cocktails because I apparently skipped over an important word on the menu. It did exactly what it promised without sending me into another dimension, which was appreciated. The only downside was that I spent the rest of the evening happily eating leftover Smash Burger Pizza and wondering why anyone would order anything else. The atmosphere was laid back, the service was friendly, and we'll always say anything positive about anyone who helps take care of our sweet little one. We'd happily come back the next time we're in Manteo. Don't let the current rating scare you away. We almost did, and we'd have missed out on one of our favorite meals of the trip.

Let's start with the positives:…read more Love that it's in Manteo and the place has a nice vibe to it. Would've like to try the Weeping Radish Beers but kids were with me so I passed. The Pretzel was good, no doubt about that. All of the breads were very fresh. Unfortunately, everything got worse after the appetizer pretzel at our table. The hot honey on the New Yorker Down South functioned more like a sticky grease. But if not for the honey, I don't think I would've tasted anything at all. The service wasn't good either. Our waitress appeared to be getting frustrated just by those at our table asking questions. The only time she lit up was when she bragged about the two smash burger ideas she came up with that made the menu. She wasn't terrible, but maybe I'm just being nice considering I felt us being there was an inconvenience to her. When someone at our table asked to add lettuce and tomato to their burger, she replied that this isn't a build your own burger place and that she works at the Lost Colony where you can do that...but not here. It was odd. My family has gluten allergies which sucks...but when we asked if any desserts were gluten free she said the tart was the only one she was aware of. It might have been, but saying "aware of" led me to believe there could possibly be others but she didn't know and wasn't asking. Ok, I convinced myself, the service was bad. In fact, the place was practically empty and they stuck all 7 of us in a booth. My daughter who is extremely gluten sensitive has to cut off a piece of her pizza because the waitress bumped it against mine when she put it on the table. In her defense, we had no room for it. When the waitress brought back my youngest daughters Smash Burger (because they didn't put cheese or mayo on it) she could only fit half the plate on the table. So my 8 year old ate off a plate with half the plate dangling off the side...bizarre. I'm giving 2 stars because I believe the meal could've been better. Living in a family with gluten allergies and having none...I get how it can be frustrating (apologies to those gluten free...I get that it's way more frustrating for you). I'd probably stick with a pretzel, order a standard smash burger & do the beer sampler. If you're driving over 15 minutes to get here, probably safest to try somewhere else.
