    Crab cake sandwich
    Megan B.

    Good food, nice space and local feel. Definitely recommend for some seafood and bar food. We got the crab cake sandwich, smash burger and noods. The ahi was good, but wasn't quite expecting the dish (our fault). Next time we need to try the cheese curds. The service was good! People were friendly, food came fast and drinks were cold. Def a good stop while waiting for your house, or when you don't feel like cooking!

    Was in town for my brothers wedding and stopped here for lunch with the family on Sunday. Nice little spot right on the main road close to the house we rented. They have only been open about three weeks but everything here was legit five stars. They have the greatest staff and the food to match. We all ordered something different off the menu and everything was excellent. I had a double smash burger and it was legit in the top five burgers I've had in my life. This place is reason enough to come back to The Outer Banks.

    Great service, very thoughtful and attentive, especially with our kids! Specials were great and not a long wait. Hidden gem!

    Poor service. The waitress had a poor attitude when we ordered our food and drinks. Not all food on the menu was available.

    We had about a 30-minute wait for a party of two. Once we were seated, we noticed there were quite…read morea few flies inside. I don't necessarily blame the restaurant for that since people are constantly coming and going through both the front door and patio, but it did affect the experience. We didn't try the beer wall this time. We came primarily for the food, and I'm glad we did. We both ordered the Angry Chicken sandwich, and it was fantastic. It had great flavor, a good level of spice, and was absolutely massive. For $19, though, it better be big! Honestly, I almost wish they offered a smaller version with just one chicken patty at a lower price. The sandwich has so many great elements, but it's almost too much food. I'd happily order a smaller version. Our server was friendly, but he was clearly spread pretty thin. It took a while to get drink refills and our check. Overall, there were a few things that could have been better, but I'd definitely come back for that chicken sandwich.

    The menu definitely lets you know that the chef is thoughtful about each component to every dish…read more There are sweet elements tied to savory elements and enough heat or acidity to address the different proteins. I really enjoyed each of the dish and all the beers that are on a tap is the highlight of the restaurant. There are two long tables in the middle for larger groups. The seats are surrounded by TVs and a great spot for the family. The second shift breakfast burger is delicious! The Pork belly BLT is also more refined and will please finer palates. The crispy apple jack chicken has all the ingredients for a delicious sandwich. But I would replace the 3 chicken tenders for a large chunk of chicken breast. That would make the sandwich perfect. If you're looking for a great restaurant for the family during your vacation... take a ride and check it out!

    Top-floor restaurant with fine dining vibes…read more Dinner Cocktails were delightful and the food was delicious. I had NY strip with broccolini and potatoes while my wife had the shrimp and grits and our 3 year old had butter pasta with Parmesan - all three were a hit. For dessert I had the sticky toffee cake with ice cream and the ladies shared the chocolate cake. Power Wheelchair Elevator access to the restaurant. Tables are high enough to get legs under. Good room to get around and in between tables.

There were only about three…read morepeople working, so service was a little slow, but completely understandable, and everyone was friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is a nice, open space, although the decor is a little odd with a lot of fake flowers everywhere. We started with the calamari and crab dip. The crab dip was easily the best thing we had. Creamy, flavorful and served with fried pita chips that were hot, crispy and really good. The calamari was just okay. It tasted a little like it may have been frozen rather than freshly prepared. I had the cheeseburger, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The fries were actually pretty good and nicely crisp. The biggest miss for me was the spicy margarita. The spice came from pickled jalapeños, which gave the whole drink a strange pickled flavor instead of that fresh jalapeño heat I was expecting. I ended up not drinking it. Overall, not a bad experience, especially considering it was off-season and they were working with a very small staff. The crab dip was definitely the standout.

    Listen, this is a dive bar. As long as you're walking in here with the right expectations, you…read morewon't be disappointed. Is the bar going to be a little sticky? Almost definitely. But the service is friendly, the prices are right and it stays open later than anything else in the Outer Banks, so if you want to have yourself a night this is the place you're going to end up at. I'm not brave enough to eat here but other folks seem to like it. TL;DR - If you want a cheap late night drink, come to Sundogs.

We did…read morenot see the wait to be seated sign so we grabbed one of several tables that were available. He started this on the ladies that were with us. He came to the table and started to be rude! We said no worries we will stand at the bar. He then stated I would expect that from you pretentious people from Maryland. He assumed that since we were in our Redskins Jerseys. My friend said we'll just leave because you're being a complete A@@hole! Which he was! He then turned his head around looking around the bar and said that's fine, I don't need your business! My friend told him he was a Jerk and Fred the owner said "I know I am" None of my friends will spend a dollar there! Do not accept this behavior in this dive! It's a S@i!hole. You're missing it bud! Do better!! Your 1stars prove everyone's point!
