This place has the best crab cakes! We arrived early for dinner at 415 and we went on a wait list...lol (Only had a 10min wait) Server was great very helpful and friendly, explained the daily specials. Drinks and food arrived quick. Prices are very reasonable. Don't miss out on some great food here next time you are in the Outer Banks read more

The Kill Devil Grill - Crab Cakes - American Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

When I entered, I was at first disappointed by the limited menu that was given. But then you look up at the tv and see the specials, and that is when your mouth really starts to water. The scallops and crab-stuffed fish were a special that would blow your socks off. The scallops were some of the best I have had. The bruschetta at a seafood place was also killer. I feel I may have judged the smaller menu a little too quickly. The dessert lives up to the name of the best key lime pie. The apple dessert is also up there. The staff was great and very knowledgeable about their food. The overall atmosphere was tight but great for families. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. read more

We spent a winter staycay in Kitty Hawk. It was cold has an ice trolls feet! We decided at the last minute to get a bite to eat. I searched "best casual dining close to me" and this place was the first thing that came up, so off we go! The place was small and quaint. It was Christmas time so everyone was dressed in Christmas gear! It was packed too! I see why because the food was great and the service was even greater! I had the crab cakes and they were excellent! I wanted to get that key lime pie but I'm already fat so I let it go. Highly recommend read more

A little pricey but the food is pretty good here, we came one evening at it was packed! It appears as a little trailer and I passed by it more than once before realizing what it was. We stopped in and the server was nice, and gave good recommendations, since we're from out of state. We wanted to return on our last day in town, but when we phoned to ask about a promotional offer we heard about, the manager was very short and said "we don't do this" and hung up. Left a bad taste for a previously good experience. Food for thought: good service is just as important as good food. read more

Wonderful & extremely popular local restaurant in Kill Devil/ norther Hatteras. It's really worth the wait ('cause there will be a wait), but be prepared for outstanding chicken wings (smoked!) plus other goodies from the very talented kitchen. Bar & waitstaff is also a big part of their success. No reservations, but they do a great job in getting guests seated fast. Outstanding! read more

We ate here for lunch. When we arrived, there was a sign on the door that said the hostess and to check in for your meal is on the side entrance. So you do have to walk around the side to tell them how many is in your party. The place does not have a waiting area so highly recommend just sending one of your party in to put in the reservation and waiting for the table to be ready. Our server was Taylor. Taylor was standing on business with one of my meals didn't have tomato, bacon jam, and she was on top of it. Awesome person. For the appetizer, we order cheesesteak egg rolls, and it had a red tomato basil dipping sauce on the side very delicious killed whole dish before our main meal came out. me, I had the steak burger very good flavor. They forgot the tomato bacon jam that was supposed to be on it. But even without it, it was such a good flavor profile. our waiter, Taylor got us an a dipping side of the tomato bacon jam so everything was fine. For our next meal, we had the fried shrimp with a side of fries and tartar sauce. Very good crisp taste on it. Good crunch Tartar sauce was absolutely delicious. Side of coleslaw came with the dish. Overall, the restaurant ambience was a bit tight, but that is why they have your party. Wait outside. The waitress was amazing. Made the experience very nice and smooth. And the food was five out of five. Would recommend. Highly. read more

Absolutely worth the wait! Kill Devil Grill is a must-visit spot when you're in the Outer Banks. The food is consistently excellent--fresh, flavorful, and served with attention to detail that stands out from typical beach fare. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the retro diner vibe adds to the charm. From the blackened flatiron steak to the daily specials and their famous key lime pie, everything is done right. Just a heads-up for weekend diners: if you're coming on a Saturday during peak season, plan ahead. It's not uncommon for the wait to be over an hour--but trust me, it's worth every minute. Most people wait in their cars (text alerts), so bring a good playlist, crack the windows, and settle in for a bit. You'll be glad you stayed. read more

Kill Devil Grill is one of my favorite spots to eat in the Outerbanks. This place has been here a while now and is very popular with the locals. My favorite are their Chicken Wings. The wings are smoked and grilled then tossed in their signature buffalo sauce. I definitely recommend getting the wings here. The grilled Salmon salad is also one of my favorites. The Citrus Basil salad is so flavorful and really compliments the grilled salmon. If you are in OBX, then definitely check out Kill Devil Grill! read more

Truly best spot in OBX. The food was so good. My wife and split the sampler and we LOVED the wings and the Philly rolls. Wings def are in my top 5 of all time. I got the ribeye and it was great. My wife got the crab cakes and also was a huge fan. The service was truly amazing, our waitress was awesome. The manager stopped by our table and greeted us. The vibes where not what I was expecting at all though. It was a diner car vibe and we absolutely loved it. We tried food all over OBX this week and I say without a doubt this is a must have.

The food was amazing. The scallops dinner special was flavorful. The tomato base sauce was sweet with a little spicy aftertaste. The restaurant is smaller but it makes for a cozy atmosphere to connect with each other. We loved the details in the Christmas lights. The staff were attentive and friendly. Our little ones enjoyed writing their letters to Santa. read more

The food was good, large portions served hot and fairly quickly. Service was friendly, they use the team system, so you'll see several servers if the restaurant is busy. It's a small space with what appears to be a rail car for the bar, which was cozy, although crowded. It's a nice place for a casual meal, try the wings. That said, it's good not great. Would I come back? Maybe. Doesn't merit a 5 star review, but definitely a strong 4. read more

This little restaurant is AMAZING... don't be fooled by its exterior... This little restaurant is probably the best on the entire Outer Banks and I have been to almost all the restaurants around here. The staff is amazing and friendly. They treat you like they've known you all their life. Jack and Jen are the two superstars that never let us want for anything.. the worst thing about the evening was the we had to waddle home full and extremely satisfied. This will not be my last trip to this secret in Kill Devil's. read more

Whoa, this place gets some traffic! 1pm on a Tuesday and it was a 45 minute wait. We wanted something simple so an order of Wings and fresh catch (Wahoo) Caesar Salad. That was one damn good salad and the wings were massive. I would have preferred them cooked a bit longer. Some of the flats were a bit rubbery but drums were fantastic. Would gladly return. Be patient and enjoy! read more

Food was great, service was wonderful, prices were on point. it is coastal chic inside, so a very box kind of vibe. Just know you are going to have to wait. We were recommended this spot by a friend, and we are happy we stopped in. Everything we had was tasty, and the beer menu was solid. I had the chicken pasta, and my spouse had a vegetarian option. Plant based is no problem here. The service was fast and efficient. Our waitress was friendly and kept stopping back to make sure our drinks were full and our order was correct. If you are going to come here on a whim though, just understand there will be a wait. We waited for close to an hour for a table for two. There is seating outside to hang out, or you can walk around. They text your phone when your table is ready. The parking lot of ample and free, but it does fill up so if you can walk here, I would suggest that as well. read more

service is very friendly! our server was in training and she did excellent. i got the grilled shrimp pasta and it was EXQUISITE. i am not one to finish my dinner in one sitting but i ate this dish very quickly, filling but not overfilling. i also had the blackberry mixed drink (can't remember the name, sorry!) and ended up ordering a second one regardless of the cost. the vibe is exactly what i was looking for, very busy friday but the wait was only 20 mins for a table for two! 100% recommend read more

Worth the wait. Every dish was amazing. Smoked wings were top tier. Crab cakes were delicately cooked and pure lump crab. Even the cole slaw was DELICIOUS. read more

A must go every time we are in OBX! Krickett was on it from the get go! Waters and drinks asap! The fried shrimp were tasty! The coleslaw is off the hook good! Wings are a must. Flounder sammy was good. Mahi on grits. The corn avocado black bean salsa!!! Get this. Fries are terrific! Grilled shrimp were wonderful. There was a young man, Jackson, he was busting his hump! Clearing, serving, getting refills... he was amazing!!! Again, highly recommend!!! read more

Super solid place to grab a bite. I placed a pickup order shortly after noon and was given an estimated pickup time of 1pm. Food was ready at the pickup time and went pretty smoothly. I ordered the 1/2lb beer can shrimp and the back yard wings. Would highly recommend the wings especially if you like spice. The shrimp was good but definitely wish it was a bit more saucy. Overall, would dine in next time I visit! read more

Bartenders are friendly and serve up a mighty fine martini. Food is always delicious. We love the pork chop, beer can shrimp, and anything on the specials. Go early if you don't want to wait. read more

On today's adventure we found this place via Yelp. It's a little off the main road so we expected it to be less touristy but appears a lot of people know about this place which is a good sign. There were quite a few people here early around 430-5. We were greeted upon entering and advised it would be about 20 minutes for a table. The food was good and the service for the food was good. The food came out quickly and was cooked correctly. We were hungry and didn't waste time taking photos on this trip. Overall I think the food is good and the prices were about average therefore I would recommend this place if you're in the outer banks. read more

The pictures don't fully convey just how small this place is but the food is absolutely amazing!

We were given a gift card here, so we tried it out. It was an hour and 45 minutes to get a table (on a Tuesday), and another hour to get the food. My son's order of kids fried shrimp came out as chicken tenders. Too hungry to wait for a correction, he just ate the tenders. The next day we still had money on the gift card, so we ordered take out. Two hour pick up time for 2 appetizers, a kids fried shrimp (because he never got it the day before), and a slice of pie. This pretty light order was still late another 15 minutes over the already ridiculous 2 hours. Also, our wings came without sauce, which it was ordered with. The white pizza was overcooked. 2 messed up orders, extremely long wait times, and just above average food. We didn't understand the hype. Definitely would not come back again. read more

We had lunch (flounder sandwich). It was fresh and delicious. We even had dessert (key lime pie and bread pudding) so good. The service was impeccable. We had Ellie as our waitress - she was a delightful young women, professional, friendly and served with a smile. She answered all of our questions to help us decide what to order. Shout out to John who helped when Ellie stepped away. I noticed the servers worked as a team - good food, great staff! read more

Excellent service and food!! The spinach dip was outstanding! The specials are always great! Would highly recommend!! read more

This place is rockin'! We thought we would beat the crowd by skipping lunch and eating dinner at 4pm. Nope. 30 minute wait even at 4pm. The reviews don't lie, this place is great. Service was excellent and the food was too. At first we were disappointed that they didn't have many seafood offerings on the menu, but then came the daily specials and this is where the magic lives. Our entrees were fabulous and fresh, tons of flavor. We also added a bread pudding for dessert, which was like a 1 pound dense brick of cold bread pudding. I've never had it cold before, nor that dense, but it was still good. However the seafood was the star of the show. read more

We got to the restaurant and waited for 6 minutes to be seated. Really fast considering the parking lot was full. I got the Big Kahuna Burger and my wife got the fried fish sandwich. Both were excellent as was the service. They are busy always but they handle it well and without looking rushed. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

IMO, this is the perfect low key beach restaurant. The food is great but what pushes it to the next level is the atmosphere especially the people working there. From the host that greeted and sat us, the servers, and the lady that sold us a T-shirt as we were leaving, we did not encounter a bad employee. It is rare to see a team at a restaurant work with this level of excellence. Johnny was the server for my table but we had others in our party that sat at a different table and I didn't catch that lady's name. They were both top notch; however, we had interactions with multiple people that were picking up finished plates and refilling drinks and answering questions. This is how a restaurant should be ran. Oh and the bourbon selection was fantastic. I had Eagle Rare but there were many other great options. If you are in the Outer Banks, go see these folks, you will not be disappointed. read more

Great food! Management was awesome. We would return. The restaurant was quaint as busy. Go early during summer months.

We enjoyed lunch on a Friday afternoon. Our wait time ended up being shorted than anticipated so that was nice. Our waitress was kind and friendly. We started with the app sampler - tasty but I think a bit overpriced for what you get. We also enjoyed the fried chicken special, the southern chicken salad - the ranch it delicious and my son loved the kid's shrimp and fries (tartar sauce was great too)! We took a strawberry shortcake to go and it was excellent as well. We will will definitely back on our next trip down - to eat again and grab a shirt. The style we wanted was unfortunately sold out!! read more

Wow, I asked chat GPT for recs for family friendly delicious food at a reasonable price in KDH and we are shocked. Every meal from the kids menu, specials, and dessert were incredible. Flavors for everything were spot on. We had kids chicken tender meals, peel and eat shrimp, burger, fried shrimp, blackened wahoo on cheese grits, apple crisp, key lime pie (best I've had) and strawberry shortcake. Apple crisp and key lime were top tier. With one cocktail, four teas, and a sprite we paid just over 200$. Other reviews mentioned wait time, which was quoted at 45 minutes but only took 35. Well worth it read more

This was a random find and quite a good one. The place is tight and gets busy quickly. We saw many locals, in addition to the obvious visitors, dining there. The parking lot is very small; carpool if you can. The food was really good (chicken pasta, mahi with grits, flounder sandwich, lava cake, and Key lime pie - we truly enjoyed them all.) Jenn's Juice drink was quite good, but we didn't dig the Dark and Stormy made with the local rum. LOVED our server - efficient, polite, knew the menu, just really good. The portions could be bigger (my teen went home after devouring their chicken pasta and ate a large PBJ ). Overall, I would come back when visiting the area. Prices were decent for the area, especially compared with some of Kitty Hawk's establishments. read more

The Kill Devil Grill is a must-visit. I ordered the Big Kahuna Burger and paired it with a Potter's Cider, both were excellent. To top it off, the apple crisp was amazing and easily the highlight of the meal. Great food and a solid atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. Server was amazing! read more
