Rundown Cafe

Roundown Cafe is by far the best spot we’ve found in OXB! The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and delicious in every bite. The service was outstanding; the staff made us feel so welcome and well taken care of. We sat on the second-floor deck and enjoyed a beautiful ocean view, which made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for a place that combines great food, excellent service, and an unbeatable atmosphere, Roundown Cafe is it!

This is a super fun place! Love the environment. Balcony seating is the way to go!! Epic!!! The coconut shrimp plate was perfect! Also really liked the poke, and tuna burger. They have some awesome cocktails as well!! Definitely the perfect place to go after a day at the beach!

Such a great spot to eat! Perfect beach vibes, koi pond in the front. Food was amazing and service is great. Very laid back and welcoming. You def need to be on beach time in the best way. You can walk to the beach from here. Incredibly dog friendly, they have an awesome patio. Live music!

Our last night in OBX was a struggle. It was a Sunday and so many places were closed early or had super long waits. We ended up driving all the way down here from Corolla. I kinda wish we had chose elsewhere. We got chips and salsa/queso for an appetizer. The chips were stale, the salsa was clearly El Paso or some other very cheap jarred salsa, and the queso probably the same. It felt extremely lazy. I ordered the Jerk Burger for my meal. I ended up being pretty disappointed. The burger, which I ordered medium, was well done. The jerk sauce was extremely sweet which is not something that is normal for a jerk sauce and it ended up not being good at all. Luckily my wife didn’t finish her California burger and it ended up being cooked closer to what she ordered and was a lot better than mi

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the town of Duck, home of Duck Donuts. Not sure what to expect, but we enjoyed the entrees offered. Although the menu is somewhat limited to the selections, all of our dishes were well prepared and presented. The interior was decorated with a island theme. There are two main seating areas, ground level and an upper level. Like other popular establishments in Outer Banks area, it can get crowded during peak lunch and dinner hours. You may want to visit outside the normal peak hours.
