Good Winds Restaurant

We had Lauren as our server and she was fantastic!!! We had crab and artichoke dip. Then Mahi Mahi tacos and a butterfly shrimp in a Ceasars salad. The chef should get a raise, all cooked to perfection. Loved them all.

The food was the best offered during this off season in Rodanthe. Fried shrimp & crab cakes...couldn't go wrong. The sunset was absolutely amazing ‼️ The conversations between tables was lite & friendly. Relaxed, friendly service...thanks Josh.

This was the highest quality restaurant experience I’ve had in many years. Came on a date with my wife for the bourbon, beer and wine festival in April. The views of course are spectacular. But the restaurant is family run and they know how to take care of you. Great recommendations and brutally honest about their dishes and what goes together. The Puerto Rican queen snapper was the tastiest bite. But the rib tips were amazing as well. So many different things worked. And the service was superb. I will be coming back and I live in Phoenix with no plans of coming to North Carolina but I want to experience that food and that service again.

We came during off season, about a week ago and have no complaints. Our server was fantastic and brought out all our food hot and drinks fresh. The sea crab soup was not creamy like what I’m used to from living in South Carolina for a bit. The fish though, fantastic and fresh! It was recommended that I get the fish tacos but honestly, the fresh fried group was much better. The coleslaw is made in house and was a nice side to have too. The patio isn’t huge so it’d be hard to sit a large group outside but for us (4 people) it was perfect This was a kid free trip so I’m not sure if they have kid meals - it was kid friendly though! Lastly, our waitress recommended Alex’s seafood market. A great recommendation! We’ll be back if we’re ever in OBX again!

My wife and I were camping at Camp Hatteras and our daughter picked Good Winds. We arrived in the early evening and were seated promptly. After a Quick Look at the menu, I ordered Fish Taco’s and Mac N Cheese and my wife ordered the Good Winds burger. We both enjoyed our meals without issue. The weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to enjoy the patio though being seated on the patio as the sun went down would be amazing. The staff friendly and helpful without over doing it. Overall, Good Winds was an enjoyable experience that we would repeat as well as recommend.
