    Crab cake sandwich & macaroni
    Cassie M.

    This was my second time here. The first time was in 2020, when the food was better. They do have a good happy hour on Fridays for $5 well drinks. I had a great pineapple vodka. Last time I got the crab cake sandwich and macaroni which I enjoyed both. This time I got the chicken sandwich & seafood macaroni. It came out decently fast given how busy they were but the macaroni was very disappointing. It lacked flavor, and they were skimping on the seafood especially the crab. I wouldn't get it again. & The chicken sandwich was alright.

    We have been traveling to OBX for years and always have one night ordering from Uncle Ike's during the week. It's always been absolutely delicious. This year is very different. The kid cheeseburgers were smaller than a slider. The mozzarella sticks were cold. The seafood Mac and cheese only had a few shrimp without the crab meat and scallops plus the cheese had to mixed ourselves. It was just sitting in the middle. The side of fries for a meal were 5 fries only. The chicken Cesar salad was very small for the price. It was very disappointing this time.

    tl:dr - Good vibe, but can have better for the price. Fails in execution on the food. It gets a just OK. I did really like the vibe....feels like locals are there and has a sports bar feel. Staff were friendly, helpful, and fast. I consider it kinda pricey for the overall taste/quality of the food. $13 for kids pasta.....come'on. Every dish seems a few dollars more than other similar tier places. Fried Pickles: Crazy good seasoning flavor. Something was off with the pickle chip itself....couldn't place it - maybe too soggy pickle not enough bite so was mushy texture. Tuna Bite: Also crazy good flavor and seasoning. Definitly over cooked even though ordered rare. So great flavor but super dry. Fried Shrimp: Great breading crunch, needed more seasoning and served with asian sauce. didn't think to ask for cocktail. Fries were so-so. Probably the item I would go back for. Kids Chicken: HUGE pieces. WAY overcooked unfortunately. Crabcake Sandwich: I did not like it at all. Way under-seasoned, undercooked with mostly a burned area and hardly any crusting overall, too finely shredded crab kinda-liquidy. Shredded iceburg lettuce instead of romain or butter. Had much better for same or less......really terrible for $19. Penalty for using credit card - which I have learned is par for the course, but I really don't like it when it's not that great.

    Visited with our family of 6. The slower service and smaller quantities prevented 5 stars. Cute atmosphere, typical beach vibe. Food was very good, but portions small considering price, but somewhat expected considering location. We'd visit again.

    Was in the area for the day and saw this place when searching restaurants near the lighthouse. I was greeted quickly & sat at the bar. I got the crabby fries and an order of fries. The wings were great! Plenty of ol bay & crabmeat. The fries were fresh with the right amount of salt. While it was kinda pricey for lunch $34 before tip, it was a tasty meal. Definitely would come back when in the area.

    Best fish tacos in the outer banks. All the food was great and the service was excellent. Seafood nachos are a must have as an appetizer.
