Great place to eat! The smash burger is delicious. I loved the pickles! Caesar salad was very good! Perfect amount of dressing for me. The Figgy Piggy Pie was very good but unexpectedly spicy for the guest that had ordered it. Service was slow but that was due to only having one waitress working the lunch shift. I really wanted to try the brussel sprouts and Mexican street corn dip that I read reviews of but they aren't available at lunch.

The customers who come into this restaurant are incredibly rude and I am absolutely mortified of how people act in restaurants and how they treat their servers. They are there to serve you and to make sure that you have a good experience. There is absolutely no need to belittle them for how they look. If you have absolutely nothing nice to say, then please just don’t say anything at all because it only makes their day worse. I am extremely displeased and disgusted, to say the very least.

My friends and I were excited to try this new restaurant in Manteo and it did not disappoint. We started with a few appetizers of oysters on the half shell, roasted Brussel sprouts and tuna nachos. The sprouts were amazing with lots of flavor and crispy bits just we all like. The Tuna nachos are a definite must and the oysters were nicely dressed and salty. We ordered a few pizzas, mushrooms, and scampi. The crust was perfectly crisp, charred, and soft. The mushroom pizza came with fresh whole morel mushrooms and the scampi pizza included not only fresh shrimp but clams in the shells. We also ordered the shrimp and scallops with grit cakes, and it was some of the best I have had. Lastly, we tried the seared tuna over curried noodles, which was a pure delight. To end the meal, we

My wife has been coming to this place since she was a little girl back when it was, "The Elizabethan." Then it became a pancake house. The amazing renovation work Saga did to make the, "Firetender," is fantastic. The pizza was wonderful and the flour less chocolate tort with vanilla ice cream was decadent. Thanks, Firetender for the hospitality and food. Great start to your new restaurant. 👌
