★★★★★ 5.0 Philippe Archambault · Jul 2025

Sandwich shop next to the boardwalk. The place is very busy at lunchtime (from noon to 2pm). It takes a good 15 minutes to order and another 15-20 minutes to receive your order. The sandwiches are varied and very good. Generous portions, good prices, great location. The sandwich of the day on our visit was breaded shrimp. Delicious. We enjoyed the experience, but the wait is worth considering.

Stopped for lunch. Seems to attract a fun crowd, and the food was tasty. Nothing specifically notable, but I'd 100% eat there again.

We stop for lunch every time we're in Manteo. My wife had the special, a shrimp po boy. She said it was one of the best she had on the East Coast. I went with the heart attack wrap and wasn't disappointed. The cucumber salad was good as always. Other comments about the lines, seating, and wait are valid, but definitely worth the stop. Stopped again and still very good. Had the Fried Chicken sandwich. Excellent!!!

Best fried chicken sandwich you will ever eat! The pickle brine really makes a huge difference. Every year I visit OBX this is a must stop, this year I was first in line and glad for it as it is possible they run out! Don’t miss it, don’t question it, just do it!

Ben just got fries, I had gotten the Cali wrap, and Dave got the Greek wrap all with adding fries. After finishing off half the wraps and half the fries is when I decided to snap a few photos. The food is delicious, the service is awesome, and the whole place is just adorable. It was my first time eating here, and I loved every bite. The wraps were $14.45 bucks each (adding fries to make it $1.50 more, so if you don't add fries, they're $12.95) and worth every penny. The chicken is large pieces of breast and so filling. You can't go wrong with such a large menu for a sandwich shop. Stop by and enjoy some lunch and then walk it off shopping at the shops and see the lighthouse. The littles can enjoy the playground by the water. It is truly a such place to visit.
