★★★★★ 5.0 Amanda S · Oct 2025

Really impressed with this place! Food was phenomenal. Pictured are a pecan crusted mahi mahi with kahlua sweet mashed potatoes and chicken skewers that were part of a halloween special. Also, the best caesar salad I've ever had! Also, attention to detail is so great. They noticed my mom walking with a cane and walked us around the ramp inside rather than showing us to our table with stairs. Prices also fantastic.

A friend told me about this place so I tried it on this visit to the OBX. Great fresh seafood. Good service and reasonable price. The place has a nice atmosphere too. Crab legs cooked to perfection!

First time to outer banks. Found this restaurant and its the only place we will ever eat!!! My husband had the nut and berry salad.. OUTSTANDING! , and the blt wrap. I had the oyster orville and the baked brie they were excellant! Our waitress, Casy (sp) was fantastic!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Louis Tweed · Nov 2025

Service was quick and courteous. The crab bake was great but the prime rib was not so great. The mashed potatoes and vegetables were also very good. We will return to try other offerings on the menu.

★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Temple · Dec 2025

Had a fantastic time dining with my family here including 2 small children. Pictured is the Phillys Pecan Crusted Mahi, it was delicious and the Mahi was cooked perfectly. I'd like to mention that our server Tatiana (Hopefully spelled correctly) was an absolute sweetheart and gave us the best service I've ever had at any restaurant. Will be coming back during our next trip to Kitty Hawk.
