Great bartenders who were friendly and nice to talk to; beautiful artwork- we took photos! The food looked so good but we were just in for happy hour. Definitely recommend!

We got there as they opened as we were the first ones there and the line was long to get in so I’m glad we got there early. Shout out to our server Holly, who took good care of us. I highly recommend the steamed clams and the clear broth clam chowder was fantastic. Will definitely be back.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. These guys went above and beyond they had no way of knowing we had just arrived from Charlotte, and they were probably close to closing. But they still served our table friday night. The food was delicious. the best crab cakes i've had in a very long time, and our waiter was sweet and very hardworking! If you want good vibe and great food, I definitely recommend this place. 👌

★★★★★ 5.0 John Daniels · Aug 2025

Our favorite Outer Banks restaurant! Have been coming for three summers and it’s delicious every time. Great vibe, great food, great drinks. We have had the Painkiller and Lost Tortugas for drinks, quinoa salad and Swiss jerk burger. Everything tastes good, food comes out fast, the restaurant has fish tanks the kids love watching the fish swim around. Highly recommend - note it can be a long wait at times so plan your timing accordingly

★★★★☆ 4.0 Pyro Cinical · May 2025

We stopped here mainly due to its featured Caribbean islands flavored cuisine. Many different handheld sandwiches are also offered as well. Although the Jerked dishes were nicely done, we felt that the Jerked sauce/spice used lacked heat/spiciness, like it's missing the "It" factor. The staff was friendly and helpful. The interior decor was mainly island themed. You can choose to dine in either indoor or outdoor settings. So if you haven't had a chance to try out Caribbean cuisine, this may be a good place to start.
