Breakfast restaurant
Bob's Grill OBX is a lively American eatery located in Kill Devil Hills, offering a casual and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its generous portions, diverse menu, and friendly service that keeps customers coming back. Whether you're in the mood for hearty breakfast options like plate-sized pancakes and fresh-made hash browns or satisfying lunch dishes such as seafood burritos and Angus beef burgers, Bob's Grill has something for everyone.
Bob's Grill-'Eat and get the hell out!' was a first-time visit for us! Very busy for breakfast! Despite our extra 'customer' (a 2-month-old baby in a carrier), a large enough table was secured! No wonder the reviews are fabulous! This place is absolutely Delicious! We had the: Greek Omelet (Keto friendly!), Fried Oyster Platter (mouth-watering!), Classic Eggs Benedict (so good!), and the Country Fried Steak and Eggs (BIG plate for a BIG eater!). It's no wonder why their slogan is 'Eat and get the hell out!' Due to the high volume of customer turnover, it's not a place to sit and chit-chat after your meal. That was okay with us as there are so many exciting things to do in the OBX! Everything was beyond amazing! The servers, the happy atmosphere, the vibe of the surfer theme, the prices, the FOOD, of course! It's definitely worth a re-visit next time we are in OBX!

Stopped here on our way to our rental house and was pleasantly surprised. Service was good and the food was excellent. I got the Greek omelette with French fries and my group got pancakes. If you’re getting the pancakes either have someone to share it with or maybe ask for one? They’re as big as the plate and though it was a cool concept to have huge pancakes, most of the people at my table couldn’t finish most of it and needed up wasting food. They were excellent pancakes though. My omelette was super good too and the French fries were nice and crispy. The prices were pretty decent too! I would definitely come back here again!
Rebecca T — Google review
Really good breakfast. Big place but always pretty busy, so you may need some patience. The waiting is worth it, though. Pancakes are enormous. A normal stack of 3 would have violated my rule of never eating anything bigger than my head, so I only had 1 (with blueberries). Really delicious biscuits and gravy. The gravy has a really good sausage flavor, as it should. Service was good and our coffee cups never made it to empty.
Adam S — Google review
After 2 years of waiting, I finally got into this spot and it was 100% worth it. This is the breakfast sandwich you want on a sunny August morning in OBX. Perfectly toasted bread, packed with sausage, and eggs cooked exactly how you like them. The prices are quite fair for the size of the portions, especially considering it’s in a tourist area. This platter was $12 and very filling. Our server was amazing, handling 6 of us with great communication. I had a small issue with my eggs, and she remade them without hesitation. Back in 2023, we skipped because the waitlist was too long. Now I get why. If you’re in the Outer Banks, don’t leave without eating here. We ate it as our final meal before heading to the road trip back, and I advise you to try the same!
Robin — Google review
It was great food! Great service! Two people at our table did the food challenge though and passed and still had to pay $40 for the challenge. That wouldn’t be a problem but we specifically asked if it would be $10 (there were 2 people doing it) and she said yes. At the end, when i asked to confirm, she said no it wasn’t free and charged $40. We had no problem paying, but i believe she should’ve corrected us when we asked if it was $10, and there should be something that says it is NOT free if finished. I’ve never seen a food challenge that isn’t free when it’s passed/ completed. Again, service was good and so was the food but i don’t appreciate the lack of information.

Review for Bob’s Grill Eat and Get the Hell Out My family and I have enjoyed Bob’s Grill many times in the past, especially while on vacation, and we’ve always appreciated the food and the overall atmosphere. However, after our recent visit, we are left with mixed feelings, primarily due to an unfortunate interaction with an employee. While we were waiting for our food, my wife was holding our 6-month-old son, leaving his high chair available for our diaper bag and protective liner. At this moment, a waitress named Jennifer—who had red hair—approached our table and proceeded to take the high chair with our belongings on it. When we attempted to stop her, she casually remarked, “Y’all don’t need this,” and took it anyway. I had to reach across my wife and child to grab our items back. It’s important to note that there were plenty of available high chairs in the restaurant, and we were not blocking or impeding any other guests. The people seated next to us were also taken aback by the interaction. While we were satisfied with the food and the service from our primary waitress, this incident left a sour taste. As a family, we will be reconsidering future visits to Bob’s Grill. We hope management will address this situation, as no guest should feel disrespected or inconvenienced in this manner, especially when dining with young children. We wish Bob’s Grill the best and hope that this feedback leads to better customer service in the future.

We went to Bobs for breakfast. There motto is eat and get the hell out. We got good food and good service. This wasn't the first choice but I'm glad we came by here. I would give them 7 out of 10

I ordered the biscuits and gravy, with 2 sides of toast…for carry out. Online menu shows biscuits with gravy are $9+, but there is a 2nd option for them that’s only like, $7+. I ordered the $9+ option…because it’s my favorite breakfast! Unfortunately, this wasn’t at all what I was expecting. There was only 1 biscuit!!! And that 1 was in SEVERAL pieces…so idk if it was even a whole biscuit! Smdh. I had to wait 10mins for my food…even though I arrived within the time it told me my food would be ready. Specifically, it said a 20-35min wait when I placed the order & I waited that before heading to the restaurant. I get it…it was PACKED! The “toast” was just bread….not toasted at all. The butter didn’t even melt when I drove the 1 block back to the Inn I’m staying at (less than 2mins drive). Lastly, they don’t do Hard Boiled eggs! They offer every other kind..but when I called, they said they do not offer them. Odd…for a breakfast restaurant. While the staff were kind during the LIMITED interactions I had with them, their service and food left a LOT to be desired. Worst part was, the gravy wasn’t even very good. Tasted almost like it was made from a pouch…left my mouth dry. I will not be recommending Bob’s to anyone…even if I was happy to see it was woman owned. DO BETTER! Paid $17 for a breakfast that was SOOOOO not worth $10, let alone $17+!

Miller's Seafood & Steak House is a family-owned and operated restaurant that has been a tradition since 1978. The warm hospitality and family values are evident as the Miller family personally checks on customers, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The extensive menu offers breakfast favorites like homemade biscuits and omelets, while dinner specialties include made-from-scratch hush puppies and local seafood options such as coconut shrimp and crab cakes.
the hush puppies were sweet and fried to perfection while my steak was cooked to medium rare with a good sear and topped with crispy onions and a garlic butter. my girlfriend got the bone in pork chop which she really enjoyed. the service was quick and friendly didn’t wait at all for a table although it was a busy Friday night and refills were always coming. after we finished our dinner we got the chocolate cake which had a delicious fudge like frosting on it. they provide you a coupon for 10% off for breakfast and a little card to leave a review on. we came back 2 days later for breakfast which was just as good as our previous dinner experience with some delicious blueberry hush puppies and banana topped french toast with bacon. overall this place was exactly what me and my girlfriend were hoping it would be. we will definitely be coming back here when we visit the area next.

The food was amazing and our waiter, Matt, was truly the best. It was my birthday so we splurged and got the Tomahawk steak and a surf n turf entree. Both steaks had a delicious seasoning, were cooked appropriately, and tasted great. Matt had a good sense of humor, was very attentive and just an all around great waiter. Thanks for making our experience memorable. We will definitely be back!

Really good quality seafood. Highly recommend the scallops (appetizer or meal). Crab dip was mid a little too cheesy, but that’s a preference. Server was nice and everything was presentable and tasty
Abby C — Google review
For the price, this place really missed the mark. We ordered the seafood platter for $39 expecting a decent variety and portion size, but it turned out to be very small. Overall, the portions just didn’t match the cost. I will say the waiter was kind and brought out complimentary bottles of tartar and cocktail sauce, which I appreciated. But the water was straight tap, not filtered, and with tip we ended up spending over $50 (food + tip) for what felt like a very light meal. The place was quite dark, too (as not enough lighting). It was a disappointing experience, and we won’t be coming back.

TL:DR Would give more stars if I could. Will definitely be back. Here on vacation, and know that the meals I find can be hit or miss, since, as someone passing through, I'm not going to have a chance to find all the fantastic little hole in the wall places that the locals know.. that's ok. This isn't a hole in the wall, but it's still fantastic. He got the NY strip (med rare) with mashed potatoes. He said "no complaints", which is descriptive, from him. I got the surf and turf with broiled flounder. I ordered my steak Bleu rare, which isn't common, I know... And they actually did it right. It had that perfect pitsburg char on the outside, buttery tender inside that I love so much. I asked for Lea & Perrins out of habit, but when I tasted the steak, I found it so perfectly seasoned that I never opened the bottle. I saved the hush puppies for dessert, because they are like a beignets' slight less sweet cousin. The tea was actually sweet enough, and the soft drinks are Pepsi products on tap. Huzzah.

Definitely my favorite meal of the week so far!! The surf and turf was really good!! The hush puppies were great too, with the powdered sugar on top they were like a dessert.

Duck Donuts is a popular spot known for its warm, made-to-order donuts. The donuts are freshly made on site and can be coated in various sugars or dipped in different glazes with your choice of toppings. With four convenient locations, Duck Donuts has been a favorite among locals and tourists since 2006. Customers can watch their donuts being made and customize them to their liking.
Excellent made to order cake style doughnuts. They have a variety of seasonal, creative and make your own types. Served fresh every order. Wonderful NC treat. This location was delicious
Ron L — Google review
The staff was extremely welcoming. The assistant manager, her name escapes me, was extremely fun & full of life. I had my Lil furbaby and they gave her a pup cup (whip cream) which is here favorite. Their is quite the selection of donuts. I didn't really care for them that's why I'm giving it a 4☆. I felt the toppings was overwhelming to the donut itself. I know others who love Duck Donuts. With that said you should still try it. Retail merchandise prices was affordable. I recommend if you're in the area and going to his location because the staff are amazing. It was extremely clean & open space that was easily maneuverable for those who may rely on assistive devices to get around. I imagine if it hot crowded the open space is helpful too. They also are open at times other locations aren't.

First time visiting Duck Donuts and they did not disappoint! Great selection of options and I love that they have sets by the dozen that are already grouped that you can try. They have pictures of the options as well. We tried the peach perfect dozen and they were quite tasty. Highly recommend a visit!

Pure sugary goodness in your gullet! Nothing healthy, vegan, or gluten-free in this good 'ol American doughnut shop. The donuts are handcrafted to order and melt in your mouth with every savory bite. Park a little further away to get some extra steps for those extra 1,000 calories you're gonna put into your body. It's definitely worth it! Enjoy!!

Always a great place to try when at the beach. Enjoy their variety of donuts. And made fresh, always hot. Only complaint is assistant manager wouldn't honor their online deal of $5 duck deal of 2 donuts with a coffee OR refresher. She said her computer wouldn't recognize that a refresher was included even though it stated it clearly on the website and charged us 2.50 more
Crystal M — Google review
This is by far the best Duck Donuts in the area! We went in with a pretty large order, to feed two families, and they were super patient with us and very helpful with helping us decide on what to get! I did not catch the name of the super cool lady making the drinks and taking the orders, but I had asked her about a drink I thought they had, they didn’t have it, so she offered to create something for me and it was absolutely amazing! Having that experience with her made my day. 10/10 would recommend anyone to come here, not just for the donuts but to be around some really cool, amazing and friendly staff that make it that much better!!

The Jolly Roger Restaurant is a unique and legendary dining spot in the Outer Banks, known for its unconventional atmosphere that blends Christmas, pirates, and old-time charm. Originally a gas station/grocery store converted into a restaurant in 1972, it has been an OBX staple for over 50 years. The menu offers Italian fare, seafood, and American breakfast specials.
Eclectic meandering restaurant with numerous dining rooms and booths many with some privacy making you feel you are the only one there. Rugged wood interior, interesting photos and posters. Bar area with TVs. Separate live music stage (weekends) and dance floor with its own bar. Outdoor smoking area. Gift store at the entrance with Jolly Roger clothing and too many local souvenirs to mention. Staff very friendly and helpful. Theresa was our prompt and attentive server. Awards for 2025 included Best Night Spot, Best Italian Restaurant and Best Breakfast. Very large breakfast menu accompanied by brunch, lunch and dinner menus. Early Bird coupons for breakfast and dinner in OBX magazines. Omelet was filled with crab meat, pancakes and sausage links were excellent. Crab cakes were very good with lump crab. Good prices and ample parking. Long established eatery. Good for the kids with their own menu and many adult beverages. Karaoke popular nightly.

The food was very good here. The bread and secret oil dip were delicious. Some of our food came out cold. However the service was not very good. Took us awhile to get silverware. Not all of our dishes came out at the same time. Our waiter didn’t know how much the Sunday Bloody Mary and Mimosas were. Please publish drink prices. We loved the atmosphere and decorations. Each room was decorated differently. There was also a good little gift shop. One of the employees walking around eating an apple during our visit.

This OBX relic has been rehabbed! We were surprised and happy to see a renovated and updated Jolly Roger! Same great food and service. Same fun, cozy eating nooks. Improved bar and added music band karaoke dance space with a 2nd level open air game room AND outdoor deck with lots of seating! If I didn't go to bed at 8 pm 🤣, I'd definitely come hang out here at night!

We came here for dinner and did not have to wait for a table which was nice. We ordered the cheese bread appetizer which came out to be 4 tiny pieces of bread that the cheese was partially melted. It was good but the portion came no where the price. We ordered lasagna and chicken picatta. The lasagna was good but the chicken dish lacked flavor. The atmosphere was very neat and impressive. Overall it was a pretty good restaurant.

Excellent breakfast! Loved the decor! We went in October and they had the restaurant decorated for Halloween! It was great! The food is amazing!

Stack'em High Pancakes and So Forth is a cozy, colorful breakfast spot that has been serving up delicious meals since 1985. The cafeteria-style setup allows you to choose from a variety of grab-and-go items like fruit, muffins, and yogurt before placing your hot food order. While known for its indulgent pancakes, waffles, french toast, omelets, and eggs benedict, the restaurant also offers healthier options like granola.
This is always a favorite! One of the first places we want to eat upon arriving in OBX and one of the last places we eat before we head out. This is a cafeteria style ordering system. You wait in line and order before going to your table. They bring your food out to your table and always keep your coffee refilled. Their eggs, pancakes, waffle, grits, everything is good. The only thing I've tried which wasn't my favorite was the cheesy grits. The regular grits were very tasty! The service is always phenomenal! The owners are always super pleasant. Love this place!!!!

Cute sayings around window and door frames, easy ordering, delicious freshly made food, and the best customer service I've ever had. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The best Greek omelet I've ever had hands down I love you don't fluff it with pancake mix it's just eggs.
Alicia V — Google review
Know before you go: this restaurant is cafeteria-styled ordering experience. So, you stand in line and order your food at the counter, then they bring out the food to your table. The drinks are refilled by servers, however. As well, any credit card transactions incur a 3% convenience fee. The food was fantastic, and very reasonably priced. My girlfriend and I ordered the (spicy) biscuits and gravy, short stack of pancakes with chocolate and PB chips, with 2 eggs, and bacon, the gyro omelette, and a Belgian waffle. All the food was fantastic! After a 20% tip, the total was $62. Which, considering the generous servings, I thought was beyond a reasonable price. The staff was incredibly courteous and hospitable. The line was out the door, and around the corner for the majority of our experience, but the line moves quite quickly. All and all, we waited about 30min in total, 25min to stand in line and 5min to get our food.

We visited for the first time and really enjoyed this place. The servers were very friendly and helpful. For those not familiar, you go through a cafeteria-like line to place your order but your food is brought to your table. The waffles we had were very good and the country ham was even better!!
Jim S — Google review
For breakfast or brunch, it's hard to beat this place. Unlike traditional breakfast chains, it has a fast food/cafeteria style setup, where you get your drinks first, then you order your dishes at the cashier, and then sit at the table where a server will bring out your order. The portions were enormous, and the pricing is more than competitive when compared to other chain options. The table and seating were fairly average, as to reflect their no frills standard. However, the service provided by the staff was way beyond average. They made sure all your needs were met, and willing to make things right if any issues came up with your orders. Don't miss this place for breakfast or brunch when in the Outer Banks area!

Art's Place is a long-standing burger joint in Kitty Hawk, NC, offering stunning ocean views and live music. This local favorite has been serving classic American eats for over 30 years. The restaurant is known for its friendly staff and extremely affordable menu. Patrons can enjoy a wide selection of excellent hamburgers, hand-cut fries, made-to-order breakfasts, and seasonal local seafood. Despite its slogan 'Locals Welcomed, Tourists Tolerated...'
Delicious breakfast! My mother in law said it was the best omelette she's ever had. The bloody Marys were actually good. The wrapped omelette or burrito 🌯 was delicious and the Biscuits and gravy was good. Would definitely recommend and would come back!

We missed breakfast (done by 11am) and came back for lunch/snack. The burgers were marked as "what we're known for" so we had to try one. My daughter & I shared the mushroom Swiss burger. It was tasty on rye, but not spectacular.... Just okay. The fries were good! Loved the decor and breeze. We got to enjoy those for a while because it took a bit for the burger to arrive.

Their motto of locals welcomed visitors tolerated rang true with our experience this morning! Staff …. Understaffed and apparently we were invisible! Atmosphere… we sat outside, could have been nice but the flies were crazy as we sat beside a trash can. Food…. Was honestly great! My sandwich was incorrect, but I still ate it and it still tasted great. My husband was very satisfied with his food! He ordered the omelette and I ordered the breakfast sandwich! May attempt to try it again at some point!

Exactly what we think of when we think of an OBX joint. This was our first time here and we'll be back! The burger was great and the Ruben I had was one of the best I've had anywhere. Atmosphere is classic Kitty Hawk local vibe and our servers were awesome. 10/10! We are so glad to have found this place. $51 before tip with a Passionfruit Margherita (also highly recomend- not too sweet!) and appetiser. We cant recommend this place enough.

We stopped here to enjoy a weekend brunch. That was a great decision! Although we had to wait a bit to get a table, the staff was efficient as the indoor dining area is fairly limited on space and tables. They offer a good selection of classic breakfast/brunch entrees. The pricing is very competitive, and the portions was large. We like to point out that their Biscuit and Gravy is excellent! Service was fast and efficient. Next time, we will try out their burgers instead.

Local establishment with great staff & food!! Did not think a ham/cheese omelet & grits could taste so good without adding anything additional once served. Ready to come back for the Burger!!! So thankful for this recommendation from a local friend

A no frills beach road burger joint. Their burger and fries are great! Fresh, 1/2 pound patties - seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and pepper once they are put on the flat top. Hand cut fries… yummmmm

Henry's Restaurant is a family-owned and operated diner that has been a popular dining spot in the Outer Banks since 1989. The nautically themed, low-key atmosphere makes it a great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Breakfast is served until 1 p.m., offering delicious home-style options like hot cakes, seafood omelets, and biscuits and gravy.
Henry’s is an amazing restaurant! We’ve visited for both breakfast and dinner and have had great experiences with the service, food and atmosphere. Henry’s has generous portion sizes and some great seafood, so you’re getting a great value for what you get also. They also have some great gluten free options to accommodate the adult and child celiac in my group. Then as a bonus, the staff here are unmatched and so kind and helpful. I lost a pair of sunglasses while at my booth and the staff located them after closing and called me upon finding them and I was so happy to get them back, and really appreciated them going above and beyond to help me find them. Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be back, my dad lives locally so I told him to be sure to come back here a lot!

This place was a little above average to me. My pork chops were really thin. Tasted good but threw me for a second. My wife's catfish had a bit of a fishy taste to her. Just a personal preference with her. She eats a lot of catfish so it's hard to get it right for her. Lol Mozzarella sticks were good. Salad was fine.

We passed by Henry's Restaurant last night on our way to our resort and saw that the parking lot was full of cars. This is usually a good sign. We decided to give them a try and we were not disappointed. The service and food were excellent! The place was packed with satisfied patrons. Give this place a try!

I've lived on the OBX my whole life. Henry's has been a constant and reliable breakfast spot. They always have great food and good service. They just recently got Gluten Free bread which is nice. I got an Omelet which was delicious and my son got the French Toast. The portion sizes are big and very fulfilling. Inside the restaurant there is plenty of seating and a cute little gift shop which is where you pay. If you ever come down to the OBX be sure to check them out.

First visit and we will be back. Vivian was our personable and very attentive server. Excellent seafood menu with multiple fried and broiled options. Great desserts, many made in-house. Ample parking, separate carry-out entrance. Gift shop at the exit with typical shirts and souvenirs, but also many very nice craft and specialty items. Broiled Local's Platter had shrimp, scallops, crab cake and choice of flounder or trout. The hush puppies were amazing and a must for every order.

Had Henry’s this morning while visiting Kitty Hawk. I tried the Nor’easter which I would describe as biscuits and gravy wearing a party outfit. I thought it was a perfect blend of flavors and while it easily could have been over-salted it wasn’t. I expect this meal will keep me full for most of the day! My fiancé enjoyed the Mexican Omelette. While I was only in for pickup the lady working the counter was so sweet and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. Thanks Henry’s!

Our first time here... One of the only closest locations for breakfast that had a seafood omelette and I decided to take the family here. There was a waiting time, as the place was packed, but moved really fast. Once seated, I was sipping coffee in less than a minute. The food came out super fast and was AMAZINGLY GOOD! Made up for waiting, as we were hungry. The service was great and we left super full! I recommend this place, especially the seafood omelette and the BLT!!!

The restaurant at 0608 had customers and they were already eating. The service here is FAST. They are literally making your food as you order it almost. I ate at the bar which was very clean; you can see the food being prepared from nearly half of the restaurant which makes me believe they take pride in it. Everything was cooked to order and done just right. This was my first time here but as I come to the area several times a year, I will make this one of my stops each time. Well done!

Finally got to Grits Grill for a late breakfast (10am on a Thursday in July). No waiting for a seat at the bar and ordered an omelette w/ corned beef hash side. Very impressed watching the cooks make all the orders, and mine took almost no time. Very good portions, great taste! Very attentive service. Remember, if you go during peak times, you'll have to wait...but going as a solo diner is a breeze!

Food Dudes Kitchen is a cozy eatery in Kill Devil Hills that has been a beloved culinary hotspot for about 15 years. Despite its small size, this laid-back restaurant offers prompt service and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features Caribbean and Mexican-inspired seafood and burgers, with nightly specials like tantalizing tuna tacos and tuna rice bowl that are sure to impress diners.
This place is such a delightful hole in the wall with fabulous menu choices, friendly service, & quick turnaround time for freshly made to order food! The mix of flavors and textures were spot on for the grilled Mahi tacos, grilled Mahi sandwich, mac and cheese, beans & rice, and waffle fries (not greasy, just fresh crisp deliciousness!). Their pico is also fresh and has a great flavor profile. I want to return to try about a dozen other menu items! Definitely recommend!

Ordered the blackened fish tacos and they were so good! My husband ordered the fried crab cakes and they were really tasty, especially with the freshness of their coleslaw. The rice was ok, but sorta lacked in flavor. The service here was great, even though it was busy. I don’t remember who was at the bar, but they kept our drinks filled and made sure we were good. This place is small! There isn’t much room for large parties.

It was just what we didn’t know we needed! 🤩 We topped it with their homemade habanero hot sauce and it was PERFECTION! The atmosphere was just a tiny hole in wall feel and we could see why people kept coming in! The food!!

Stopped by here at the recommendation of my brother and his family and it did not disappoint! Three of us ordered and split the nachos without a protein for an appetizer. They were incredible! Loved the cheese sauce and especially the corn mixed in with the salsa. I ordered the blackened shrimp quesadilla which was excellent. Full of flavor that was very balanced. If you’re up for a hot sauce, absolutely try their habanero peppa sauce. It’s the best hot sauce I’ve ever had. I bought a couple bottles while I was there. It’s a little off the beaten path and in a strip shopping center and well worth it!!

Stack'em High Pancakes in Kitty Hawk offers a classic diner-style breakfast and lunch experience. The cozy eatery provides a no-frills atmosphere where you can order at the counter and have your food brought to your table. The menu features hot, made-from-scratch breakfast options, including pancakes, French toast, sausage links, and bacon. While the food is described as good, some patrons wish for larger portions.
Cute diner, took my Mom here for breakfast while on vacation. Friendly and welcoming staff. Food was hot, fresh and fast. Owner said hello and goodbye. Waitress was sweet. Offered refills a few times. The place was cute and decorated nicely. Glad we decided to give them a try. Definitely a good spot for breakfast.

This place is not for me. A lot of people seem to like it in here, but I really did not, from the ordering to the food. Seems like a good staff and all that, it just wasn't a fit. I got the breakfast bowl with hash browns, and their version of hash browns is what I call scalloped potatoes, and the mix of flavors of eggs and brown gravy and all was not something I cared for. My kid's scrambled eggs, and mine I think, were not cooked all the way, and it just grosses us out. My biscuit was standard but a bit dry, for me anyway. Otherwise my kid liked the pancake enough and my wife seemed to like the French toast, so it probably mostly depends on what you choose to order. I also just don't care for ordering at the counter, it feels rushed to me. So, yeah, fine, just not somewhere I'd go back myself. And then they have at least 5 air conditioner units outside including one you run into when you leave the exit door, just a little odd to me.

This place should not be named after pancakes by any means. If you enjoy cardboard that taste like baking soda, you’ll love them. I also had my food delivered with a lovely beard hair in the eggs. They did refund me for my one meal but not the extra hash browns I ordered which didn’t feel like great customer service after I lost my appetite. I wouldn’t recommend coming here, the price didn’t match the quality either.

This was our first time trying this Stack 'em High. There are 2 in Outer Banks and they are not related. This one is more centrally located. They serve at your table, but the prices are not as good and neither is the food. It will do, but not a huge fan.

We are from East Texas, and love to scope out mom & pop diners. This diners was super fun, and the pancakes were spectacular. I had blueberry banana pancakes (plus eggs and bacon) and they were delicious 😋! For being in a resort town, the price was reasonable...what I would have paid for food near our home.

American restaurant

Located at the Sea Ranch Resort, Beachside Bistro is a bright and casual hotel cafe offering a variety of seafood dishes, breakfast options, and burgers with stunning ocean views. As one of the few true oceanfront restaurants on the Outer Banks, it serves American coastal cuisine and is a member of Outer Banks Catch, ensuring fresh seafood offerings such as mahi-mahi and tuna.
This place is a hidden treasure. It is part of the sea ranch resort, didn't know that until we got here, so parking in-season might be tricky. It has a smaller inside seating and some outdoor seating. But, the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The country fried steak was crispy and the sausage gravy was full of sausage. We had the scrambled and the over easy eggs. Cooked to perfection! The home fries are fresh cut potatoes with a mix of sweet peppers and onions. Man was this delicious! I was not able to finish my meal. The bar tender was also our waiter, so be patient! He did a great job with our order and keeping the drinks full. Also a fun treat was the locals sitting at the bar with fish stories! Especially since they knew someone that was dragged 7 miles from shore with a fish. Or the friend that used 5-gallon buckets as anchors when a fish tried to drag him to sea. 😂 Try the place, you won't be disappointed!

I had breakfast and dinner here during my stay at the Sea Ranch Resort. The Mahi tacos and Buffalo shrimp were great with plenty of spicy flavor.

Pier House Restaurant is a favorite spot for an oceanfront meal, with both indoor and outdoor seating that offers amazing views of the waves. You can enjoy your breakfast or dinner in the cozy old-school restaurant, or on the famous porch that's perched right over the beach and offers unbeatable views of the ocean. The menu includes seafood dishes prepared fresh from the kitchen, as well as pub grub such as burgers and fries.
We're from out of town. The chicken was so tasty and deep fried perfectly. I ate my wings as clean as I could because the sweet chili was to DIE FOR! Angela was a very attentive server. Noticed our refills before we even got halfway were needed. Had every condiment / topping items there instantly. You could tell she knew what she was doing to make her shift easier on seamlessly smooth. She was so kind to my kids and interacted with them making them smile and laugh and they were even in awe by the experience. Reasonably priced for what it was. My husband loved the burger! Staff friendly from inside the bait shop, back to the restaurant. And those on the pier were so kind to my kids too when questioning them fishing LOL! It was such a homely comforting experience, cute little restaurant, and my husband said "the smallest & simplest place here, has the best food".

Before I begin, I will say the waitstaff worked hard to overcome horrible management. Our server, Cara, was so kind and efficient as possible given the huge obstacles put in her way. The management of the Pier House Restaurant is nothing more than amateur. We were seated 30 minutes after we arrived (only by our effort, not theirs), had our orders taken 45 MINUTES LATER, as other guests ordered, ate and left, and our food was delivered 45 MINUTES AFTER THAT, barely warm, with the place half empty by that time. The self-identified "Breakfast Manager" glided unconcerned through the dining room like a benevolent grandmother with all the time in the world. When we brought our long delay to her attention, she neither apologized nor sped things up, but rather offered excuses and defensiveness--clearly it's the customer's responsibility to understand the kitchen, not the other way around. To say it was a disappointment doesn't do justice to enduring a two-hour wait for breakfast. (Full disclosure: the house did discount our bill.)

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I had an outstandingly poor experience here. First off, we waited 15-20 min for someone to even come to our table. I understand accidents happen, so I wasn’t too upset. After we ordered, we waited another 20 minutes to find out the fryer was having issues. As someone who previously worked in the restaurant industry, I also understood that this was out of their control. But unfortunately my food was very disappointing and not at all worth the wait. I ordered the clam chowder, and I only took a few bites. The clams were fishy and the bacon was gross. Even the crackers were stale :( I tried my hush puppies, and the insides were very undercooked and doughy. Maybe I just had bad luck, since no one else at my table had undercooked hush puppies, but overall, still very disappointing.

We received a 6 page menu only to be told they weren’t serving any food off that menu and were instead given one sheet of paper with ~12 food options. The oysters were terrible and the salad was a joke. The chicken finger platter and the hushpuppies were good, but I certainly wouldn’t waste my money here again.

“Awesome view from rest... hurricane cocktail was great... live band. OBX beach rocks...” we thought we were going to the fishing pier but there was a restaurant on it and we liked its ambiance as it has an oceanfront bar. We decided to have some drinks. We were sitting outside though it is open from all 2 sides. Colorful chairs- down the platform waves bumping to wood logs. View of the fishing pier and sunset time... quite an amazing view. Such a relax moment. We ordered common drinks like blue moon and mojito. There was one cocktail, hurricane, mix with dark rum and vodka. Great drink. There was a live band from 7. Live music-lovely place and amazing view. A good time it is...!! And how can I forget Emily? Emily served us. she is a sweet girl with all smile on her face. Seems she was covering half of the table out there. Way to go..!!

Chilli Peppers Coastal Grill is a popular spot on the Outer Banks known for its laid-back atmosphere and delicious coastal cuisine with a Latin twist. The restaurant offers fresh seafood, flavorful soups, and sauces made from scratch. Guests can enjoy dining in the warm and casual indoor space or opt for outdoor seating. The menu features a variety of dishes influenced by flavors from around the world, with lunch specials including pasta, burritos, tostadas, sandwiches, and soups.
Above average, for sure! The cuisine was full of flavors. Very generous portion sizes. This is not a typical tourist Mexican restaurant, just so you know. This is a locals spot. It has a great old school OBX nostalgia feel inside. Enthusiastic servers. Good price point on the whole menu selection. Get there early!

Came here twice during our vacation to the outer banks. Smoothies are plenty big and can be split into two cups ($1 upcharge) and was a hit with my kids. The hot Eddie breakfast bagel was so good with just a hint of spicy. The hubs enjoyed a classic with the walkover bagel. I also enjoyed a couple different iced lattes(Hawaiian mocha and coffee cake), but did ask for it to be slightly less sweet. It's a really cute coffee shop with plenty of space to sit.

Good stuff all the way around. Counter service and then you pick up your food in a cubby when it's ready. Plenty of seating in various types of chairs and set ups. Plenty of things to buy while you are waiting for your order. Nice selection of craft beers to take to go.

This place is a powerhouse. Truly, how can you beat a place that makes some of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had (Hot Eddie: 10/10), serves 12 beers on draft starting at 7AM, and offers 32oz nitro cold brews. As well, the local crafts and beer/wine to go offers a variety of ways to indulge yourself.

I have never been more confused on what to order. All drinks/menu items looked fantastic. I ended up with my usual, a Cortado, and I got an iced Sandbar (English toffee - had to get that). The drinks were delicious. I do recommend getting the chocolate cwaaassaaaannn as well. This place has an insane amount of cups/mugs and they're all great. The cafe is a little cramped and I did spot a few squatters but we just ate our croissant and headed out, but if I were to sit and chill, I'd definitely would've hurt someones feelings. Overall, a great place which delicious drinks and bakery items.

Decided to try out another local coffee shop while in the OBX so we stopped at Morning View Coffee House. It wasn't too busy at 10am on a weekday. We ordered the Seafoam Latte, Iced Crème Brulee and a Bacon Egg & Cheese Bagel. The bagel tasted great but the coffee was not as good. The Seafoam Latte was way too sweet and the Iced Creme Brulee just seemed off. We will hopefully give it another try and see if we can find something different to drink next time.

the chai was… so sweet. like unbelievably sweet. i took it home and brewed a cup of chai to cut it with. but there was twilight themed tip jars in the year 2025 and a dog so honestly give me too sweet of a drink, i can cope upon receiving a response i would have considered raising it a star- though i’ve never had to specify to make a chai less sweet when getting a flavor at any coffee shop i’ve been to in my life- but my name is literally right there and they still managed to spell it wrong so my stats are staying the same

Coffee was super disappointing. All you could taste was the syrup. Way too sweet. Went up to ask if they could pull me another shot because it was too sweet and I was asked if I asked for half sweet. I explained I had never been there so no I wasn’t aware of that because normal coffee places their regular sweet coffee actually tastes like coffee. She was really rude and told me she’d have to charge me for another full coffee. Would not recommend. Service was trash and the coffee isn’t even worth it.

Coffee shop
Front Porch Cafe in Kill Devil Hills is a local gem offering freshly roasted coffee, baked goods, and free Wi-Fi. With three community coffeehouses, it's known for its artisan-roasted coffee and specialty drinks like nitro brew and kombucha. The welcoming atmosphere provides ample seating inside and out, making it a great spot to enjoy a hot mocha or their excellent house coffee while surfing the web. Customers also praise the superb customer service at this locally-owned cafe.
Oh I love this place and start every morning here. The staff are more than friendly (despite the unending chain of customers lining up for their morning fix of caffeine and baked goods). The coffee is fantastic and VERY reasonably priced. Baked goods are all fresh and usually still warm. And everything is served with a positive attitude. Bonus: probably the BEST SUGAR COOKIES on the planet. A JEWEL of the OBX, for sure!

4 stars The coffee was decent, I ordered decaf espresso as I’m not able to have caffeine so it’s my fault but it was not flavorful at all unfortunately. Besides that the services was amazing and the employees were so kind and chatted while my large family went through and ordered! We had 8 drinks and they were done in about 5 minutes!! We will definitely be back to try some more drinks and pastries!

I’ve been having the worst luck trying to find a good matcha latte in OBX… but after seeing all the positive reviews for Front Porch Café, we decided to give it a try and I’m so glad we did! The ambiance and vibe here are lovely. The shop is super cute with plenty of tables and space to sit, relax, or get some work done. The staff was SO friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Now, the matcha… it did not disappoint! Perfect balance, great flavor, and the right color (unlike another spot in OBX that basically handed me green milk the other day 🙃). The everything bagel I had was tasty, and my husband said their banana nut muffin was a fantastic twist on a classic. He also really enjoyed the nitro cold brew – solid and smooth. Definitely recommend checking them out at this location and supporting them – such a great find!

The pastries were amazing and fresh. My husband and I had blueberry muffins and my daughter and her friend had plain bagels. I got the white cap and my husband had the heath bar latte.

Loved this place! This was recommended by a waitress at a restaurant we stopped at when we first got to the outer banks. We went to 2 locations and they were both equal as far as service, coffee, and apple turnovers! Very nice people, pleasant and they make your drinks the way you want them. Very clean and a nice place to just sit and relax. Can't wait to come back next year!!!! UPDATE: this is a updated review and a year later....changing my review to food...didn't get any....service....to a 4...not as friendly atmosphere...5...the same....PRICES ....outrageous!!! The same drink I bought a year ago was $3 more this year! That is crazy! I went to the one in Kill Devil Hills and it was $7 .63 and the same drink and size was $9.14 ! WHY? NEVER again!! No prices listed...they shock you with the price after you order! Sorry...not coming back! I know prices have gone up everywhere, but I'm not going to be taken advantage of! Shame on them!

Biscuits N' Porn is a convenience store in North Carolina that specializes in delicious drop biscuits. You can get any biscuit sandwich with your choice of meat, and the name stuck because it's just so catchy! If you're looking for a hearty meal that features biscuits, this is the perfect stop.
Stopped 2 times during our trip down to OBX. First time tried the cheddar biscuits with bacon, egg and cheese and chicken, egg and cheese. Second stop did the regular biscuit with bacon, egg and cheese. Both were good but I think I preferred the regular biscuit. Will definitely stop back next time we are in the area.

Stopped by not once but twice on our OBX vacation. First stop we got the cheddar topped bacon, egg & cheese biscuit sandwiches and they were delicious. The biscuits melt in your mouth. Second stop had us getting the sausage gravy and biscuits. The gravy wasn't yet ready, but the staff was super friendly and gave us the wait time. They also kindly packaged everything separately so it didn't get soggy on the walk back to our rental. It's a dumpy gas station with awesome food and great staff. Even with a line at the counter they move you through fast!

The name got us. There were biscuits and a rack of porn magazines. Don’t go in expecting anything more graphic than the name and shrink wrapped adult magazines. People are friendly, the store is clean, and well stocked in terms of merch. The biscuits were ok. I got the plain, the husband got the cheese biscuit. Both were dry. With the amount of great local places to eat, this place is a one and done for us in terms of food. Would come back for gas and snacks but not the biscuit or porn.

Is it a gas station that sells amazing food or an amazing take out restaurant that sells gas? You tell me . It don’t really matter. Just go there. It’s my favorite place for biscuit sandwiches on the outer banks. A Chicken, egg, cheese, and DOUBLE BACON on a cheddar biscuit is my standard order. You just can’t go wrong getting food here. The staff keeps the line moving pretty good even when they are at their busiest. *Please have your order figured out before you get up to the counter! There’s guaranteed to be people waiting in line behind you. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🇺🇸 😆 It’s always what’s for breakfast our first morning out there and it’s our last stop for “road food” before heading out west on 64 going home with several other visits in between. Don’t forget to get ya plenty of swag! There’s nothing better than seeing the looks I get pushing my buggy around the new Apex Harris Teeter with my BnP travel mug in the cup holder 😉 I’ve had people ask me if that’s a real place.

This Sonic is a joke. There’s only ever just a few employees working, so the drive thru line is always terribly long. If you pull up to order, they usually ask if you’re here for a pickup and if not it’ll sometimes be a 15-20 minute wait for “fast” food. I’ve called and hit the red button for my pickup order… but haven’t been helped yet, and I’ve been here over 20 minutes. If they didn’t already have the money for the order I definitely would have left. Do better and hire more people or close the doors.

I pulled into a stall and pressed the red call button to place an order. The screen said “One moment,” so we waited… and waited. After 8–10 minutes, the message disappeared completely, and no one ever greeted us. I pressed the button again—still nothing. It wasn’t even that busy, so I’m not sure what the issue was. We eventually just left. Disappointing experience.

If you need food quickly for your family this is not the place to stop! I've been to this location numerous times each time thinking maybe they were short-staffed the last time but no it is still very slow no matter how many people are working. I pull in hit the button and wait for over 10 minutes then the thing on the screen saying we will be with you disappears but the car that pulled in 5 minutes after me hits the button and they get served after 2 minutes. I place an online order I wait until 5 minutes after it says my order will be ready and I hit the button still no response after 7 minutes of waiting I go through the drive-thru to let them know I'm there. I am rudely informed they are short staffed, I get that and I understand but that's not an excuse for not answering a call button and saying we will be with you shortly. My food is handed to me and all I get is attitude from the employee like it's a big deal I ordered one bag of food. The food was good but the service doesn't even deserve the one star.

The service here is absolutely dreadful. I pressed the red button three times before anyone even acknowledged me, and when they finally did, they sounded annoyed that I dared to order. After waiting forever, no one gave me an update — just silence. When my order finally came out, the carhop didn’t greet me, didn’t smile, didn’t even make eye contact — just shoved the bag at me like they were doing me a favor. I’ve had friendlier service at the DMV. If you’re looking for fast, polite, or even halfway decent customer service, look anywhere but here.

God love #14 menu because the other 29 were unable to be operated. #2 thank goodness for the employee being able to check her instagram during our wait time between pressing the red button and being graced with the voice of an employee asking us if we can be helped. Luckily the employee we were blessed with did indeed get through our order and it was received in a solid time. I can’t quite put my finger on anything I disliked but God bless nags head sonic and the customers they receive.

My family is staying in OBX. we went over in this morning for breakfast. We asked if they served French fries for breakfast. They said yes. Then we found out they didn't. They did have potatoes, which were good. We asked for ranch and didn't realize til we got back that they didn't give us the ranch. Have to say the breakfast food was good. The sausage and gravy didn't have much sausage, but it was ok. Went back for lunch. The shrimp was very good. I wasn't a fan of their chicken tenders. It seemed like a shake and bake. The ranch dressing is so so good. We had the same lady wait on us in the morning and afternoon. She was pleasant. But I think her customer shined through in the afternoon when we were trying to figure the price on the bill. She took her time to walk us through it. It ended up being that there were two separate taxes charged. 🙃 We would definitely go back.

Duck Donuts is an iconic establishment in the Outer Banks, offering freshly made customizable donuts right before your eyes. Founded in 2006 in Duck, it has expanded to five OBX locations and gained popularity for providing made-to-order doughnuts. The process involves watching the donuts being made on-site and then choosing from a variety of toppings, coatings, and drizzles to suit your taste.
Promptly greeted and left happy. Ordered a half dozen and of course if you don’t know all the flavors you want, they will help. Sunrise (lemon glaze with raspberry drizzle) is dynamite. They have a nice selection of stickers we ended up finding a few that we had to bring home. This place checks the right boxes.

This was my first time going. They offer vanilla cake donuts and you choose the icing and toppings and make it for you. The choices can be overwhelming but they are patient while you decide. Two coffees and 4 donuts were $16. I didn't think that was bad. If in the area, stop by for fresh donuts. 🍩☕

My daughter and I are here in OBX on vacation and we heard about how good Duck Donuts is so we had to try. And even more awesome, we had a coupon for BOGO.

Cool donut place! Staff was very friendly. Would definitely visit again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of donuts available for order, and each one was absolutely delicious! The donuts are freshly made as you order. The only thing you don't really get is the human contact some people may want. You order on a screen, pay at the screen and pick up at the counter when they call your number. All the staff are behind the counter diligently making donuts, which is great; however, there is a lack of any actual human interaction, detracting from the overall experience. Although the prices are slightly higher than expected, the wonderful quality of the donuts makes them worth a couple of extra bucks per donut compared to what you would pay at any other donut shop.

We ended up coincidentally sitting next to the owner’s at the bar and they were so sweet, and could easily tell they loved everything about their business. I highly recommend stopping by for either take out or dining in for their amazing speciality bagels too!

My husband and I tried going here a few years ago, but they were closed the day we were in town, unfortunately. We finally went this year, and it was worth the wait! I especially love the unique bagel sandwich offerings and the ability to create your own. We sat by the window towards the back, so we got to see the bakers preparing the food as well - highly recommend! Next time we'll try one of the flights!

Normally, I like this place for takeout, but this was my first time dining in for breakfast and I didn’t enjoy it at all. The hostess was amazing, but I can’t say the same about the rest of the experience. I understand you can’t please everyone, but if you notice a customer is unhappy, the least you can do is try to make it right. And just to be clear, I’m not a bad tipper.

McDonald's is a well-known fast food chain with locations all over the United States. The burgers and fries are a favorite of many, and the convenience of their highway location makes them an easy choice for anyone on the go. Today's visit was excellent - from ordering to eating our cheeseburger, everyone was polite and efficient. Well done!
It was incredibly busy, yet we quickly received our food and drinks; the food was excellent! We even had a chance to try their special including new snack wraps, which were alright. Overall, I was impressed by this McDonalds having it together.

This location is ok. The touch screens are easy to use and make ordering a lot easier. The app code takes some patience to scan. The food and service are good. I would just point out that the eating area was really messy. I don’t think it is the workers fault. I can tell that people are really messy. Lots of food and trash were spilled on the floors. Someone was sweeping as we were starting to leave. I think people should be more courteous and clean up after themselves.

BUSY! Saturday morning heading out of Nags Head on July 8th. Seems like everyone else had the same idea. Just a few tables open, so we sat down and placed our order online. They aren't doing tableside service, but I cannot even fault that, it's too bust! Orders came up fast as the crew in the back is working really hard. Food was great as expected, dining room was pretty clean with the exception of tables needing wiped, but again with so many people in and our, there isn't even time to wipe tables.

I rarely now before the golden arches, but Wendy's was closed for renovations so this was the least bad option, and this experience reminded me why I so deeply miss Wendy's... This place is clearly set up to be just a drive through. There are two lanes in the drive through , both severely backed up. The inside requires you to either order online, or wait by the one and only cash register for one of the people tending the drive through, which is behind a barrier, to notice you and, eventually, grudgingly acknowledge you. After I stood at the counter for several minutes, a woman came out and stood at the register with her arms folded and stared at me, so I said, "Good afternoon, sir! Welcome to McDonald's. What can I get for you today?" That got her to put her hands on the register, whereupon I placed my order and paid. She handed me my cup, and walked away without a word, which is how she conducted the entire transaction. A different, reasonably friendly young man handed me my order surprisingly quickly, and I left.

Be prepared to wait 30+ minutes in the drive-thru. We even had a mobile order and it was late evening (well after the dinner time rush). Food was room temp and dry, like it was made when we "arrived" and sat on the counter for the 30-minute duration it took for us to reach the window. When we arrived, we were two cars away from the speaker; so, it wasn't like there was a long line. Person at the window was nice, but obviously stressed. Definitely not adhering to McDonald's time and food quality standards. Wasn't worth losing even MORE time to have the order remade, but submitted a complaint to corporate.

Incredibly dirty. Trash receptacles were packed completely. All tables were dirty. Bathroom had toilet paper sitting on top of dispenser. Had to use kiosk to order as no one was working counter. Parking lot was jammed. Had to wait 10 minutes for an opening to leave. Doubtful to ever return.

Drive thru, couldn't order because car ahead wouldn't pull up far enough. Heard person over speaker but too far away to answer. When we were finally able to pull up, no one would answer our calls for service. The drive thru next to us helped 4 vehicles before coming back to us. Good food, very bad service. This was this past Saturday morning.

Dunkin' is a beloved chain that has become a staple for breakfast enthusiasts and coffee lovers alike, especially in the picturesque Outer Banks. With four convenient locations in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, Dunkin' offers an array of signature breakfast items, including their famous donuts, bagels, and hearty sandwiches.
I live around the corner, so this is my go to for coffee if I’m out of milk at home. I don’t know the manager’s name, but he is awesome! He always has a big smile on his face. He remembers me every time. And I notice they have a 100% for their sanitary rating! When was the last time you saw that?! I went this morning and I have to say that was the best coffee I’ve ever gotten from them. I didn’t even have to put sugar in it.

I had to change my rating to one star....it's cool when a order is messed up no biggie, I was willing to pay for the mini bagels this morning but glad I didn't....they smell and taste like they were soaked or sprayed with a chemical, first time I've experienced this. I hope I don't get sick and feel like this was pay back for pointing out there was a mistake. I stop here often but never will again and it disappoints me this happened because I've been in the service industry and I wasn't rude about pointing out a mistake. I'll warn my friends to not go to this specific location. The people working aren't even rude, however, I don't trust spending money on something here again.

Avoid this Dunkin. The staff are extremely unfriendly. They refused to make any drink we tried to order with cream instead of milk, even though every other Dunkin that we’ve ever been to will use cream upon request. Starbucks and every other coffee shop in existence will do that, but the owner of this particular franchise says that they refuse to use cream for any drinks and that milk is all they offer. After reading the other reviews about how rude the staff are for this Dunkin, I should’ve avoided it and I recommend you do the same. If you really want Dunkin, drive a little ways down the road to Nags Head!

Eclectic coffee shop with AMAZING COFFEE and baked goods! Very friendly staff. I stayed in OBX 5 days and came every morning to enjoy the environment and coffee before walking the beach which was 2 minute walk. I love how they sell local artists work!! They sell other cool stuff and coffee too. They have a great sitting areas with instruments to play, games, and coloring tasks!! Very zen chatting areas made the daily walks there something to looks forward to! Many locals hang out here. They also sell beer and wine. You can tell it's a very loved community hang out! One day, a local artist was painting her work. Awesome place!!

Fantastic spot with great vibes and even better coffee! We ordered four drinks—three iced lattes and one drip coffee with sugar-free syrup—and all of them were excellent. I especially loved the Sweet Baby Jesus and the Ol' Helga, which was exceptionally yummy! The staff was super friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, with a fun, beachy vibe and cool decor (loved the skateboards and art!). It’s a great place to relax or grab something delicious on the go. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Love Ashleys’s! Tried it for the first time this past weekend and it’s definitely my favorite coffee spot now in OBX. The line moves very fast. I couldn’t choose between a Red Dawn Cold Brew or a Nitro Cold Brew because I’ve never had either of them and I had asked about which to do. I was greeted with kindness and a smile asking what I’d prefer (something stronger or something like a Guinness beer texture). I decided on the stronger because I love espresso BUT the barista offered me a sample of the nitro cold brew to try as well. I just add a lot of stevia to my drinks because of dietary restrictions but I loved both actually! My friend got the salted caramel mocha and it was a 10/10. The entire shop has local items to buy from jewelry to paintings. They have a lot of baked goods options and unique refrigerated beverages. I even saw an ice cream sandwich mini fridge full from Surfin’ Spoon. Definitely recommend checking this place while you’re in OBX.

A cozy gem with art, heart and flavor! Ashley’s Espresso Parlour is the kind of place that instantly makes you feel welcome. From the warm greeting at the door to the thoughtful details in every cup, you can tell this shop was created with love. The espresso is smooth and rich, never bitter, and their specialty drinks are both creative and comforting—I had a Lebanese Blond latte that was hands down the best I’ve tasted. The atmosphere is relaxed but inviting, with cozy seating that encourages you to slow down and stay awhile. It’s perfect for catching up with a friend, reading a book, or just taking a quiet moment for yourself. But what really sets Ashley’s apart is the genuine kindness of the staff. There’s a sense of community here—like you’re not just a customer, you’re a guest. If you’re looking for quality coffee, a warm environment, and service that feels personal and real, I highly recommend stopping by. Ashley’s is more than a coffee shop—it’s a little sanctuary.Oh and take home custom roasted coffee beans!

Coffee was full of flavor, and the atmosphere was quant. The decor is filled with local artist creations, some of which is for sale! Very unique ambience, perfect for a beach getaway.

Absolutely the best Dunkin I’ve been too. And I go to countless Dunkin’s! The place was clean, the people were nice, and everything was made FRESH. My sandwich was fresh, my drink was delicious, and the staff was so patient and nice with my order. It was also put within 10 minutes regardless of the rush they had while I was there. Complete 10/10.

I will just start out by saying the food and service is always quite good. It's s fairly decent Dunkin... BUT FIX YOUR AIR CONDITIONING!! For the past SEVERAL WEEKS, I've gone inside to pick up orders, and every time, it feels almost as hot inside as it is outside. Completely UNACCEPTABLE working conditions!! And no, putting a giant fan does not help. I feel for these poor employees that have to work in such terrible conditions! It's absurd, and someone should be reported for this negligence! THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!! How do you sleep at night? You should be ASHAMED!! We have been experiencing several heat waves and warnings these past few months, I pray for these poor people. You all deserve better. Shame on you, Dunkin.

Beachside Bites is a charming sandwich shop in OBX that also offers delicious breakfast options. The small but protein-packed breakfast menu is perfect for starting your day right. Located near Barefoot Bernies, this eatery is open seven days a week and serves generous portions of mouthwatering dishes. Customers rave about the huge and tasty breakfast burrito, as well as the fried chicken sandwich and cheesesteak.
Amazing food and amazing people. It is a little pricey for breakfast but you get what you pay for, the portions are huge. The biscuits are the size of my hand and the burritos were almost chipotle size. The flavor was amazing as well. Biscuits were buttery and cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy, and the eggs were just right as well. Definitely recommend.

My husband and son came to eat here today and I can say we were very happy to stumble upon this little gem of a place. I am a huge fan of supporting local small businesses and love finding little hidden gems. I feel like that is exactly what this place is. My husband ordered the flounder and I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and we were able to do a special order for my 1 year old son. It’s a small place, buts it’s all we needed. They had a high chair for my son. The lady at the front who took care of us was very helpful and friendly. The food was very good and affordable. I would recommend to anyone looking for a chill atmosphere and good food. Thank you!

We stumbled upon this gem during an all-day bike trip and arrived right as they were closing. The owner greeted us warmly and encouraged us to place our order anyway. Not only did the food come out quickly, but he even invited us to stay past closing so we could enjoy our meal inside in the cool A/C—a true act of hospitality after a long, hot ride. The food was absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and fairly priced—and we devoured every bite. Exceptional service, genuine kindness, and delicious food make this a place I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal.

We believe in supporting small local businesses, so we gave this place a shot for breakfast one morning on a recent stay at OBX. Had the breakfast special (2 eggs, sausage or bacon, & tater tots or home fries). Nothing wrong with the food, it was fine, but nothing to rave about. Probably should have tried something else like a breakfast burrito or ??? Not sure that I agree with the overall 4.8 average rating, but maybe we just ordered the wrong things.
John S — Google review
The food is fresh, hot and excellent! The biggest downside is that this is kind of in a strip of other businesses and bars right up against the highway. Not much to see. They do have outside dining, but the cars are really noisy. I think these guys would kill it in a dedicated facility. The food is really good.

The Outer Banks, NC, is a stunning destination that offers an unforgettable experience for beach lovers and adventure seekers alike. Imagine dining on an oceanfront deck while soaking in breathtaking views of the waves and listening to the soothing sounds of the surf. For those who prefer a more sheltered atmosphere, there are ample indoor dining options available. During your stay, you can rent a beautiful beach house and immerse yourself in the natural beauty surrounding you.
Amazing, we rented a beautiful house and the beach was amazing, wild horses, so many beautiful seashells... perfect! You HAVE to have a four wheel drive as you have to drive on the beach to get to some of the houses.

Nestled in the heart of the Outer Banks, N.Y. Bagels is a delightful bagel shop that truly stands out in this tourism-driven community. Run by a dedicated husband and wife duo, they rise early each morning to craft fresh bagels and homemade cream cheese from scratch every day of the week. The result? Soft, steamy bagels bursting with flavor that keep locals and visitors alike coming back for more. The inviting atmosphere at N.Y.
This small shop is very nice. The food was good, I did not have to wait long for my order. Inside there is 4 tables for 4 and you can definitely put 2 together if you’re with a larger group. There is also some outdoor seating. They have a good variety of options on their bagel/sandwich menu. They also have a neat self serve coffee bar. I loved their BLT bagel that was well served and filling. I also had one of their chocolate muffins and it was delicious!

N.Y. Bagels is a gem in the Outer Banks! Their bagels are fresh, chewy, and delicious—exactly what you’d expect from a New York-style bagel shop.

Fresh, hot New York–style bagels right in the Outer Banks. The cream cheese is made homemade and is full of flavor, and the bagels come out soft, steamy, and perfect. I came here every single day for about three weeks straight, and yes, I gained a little weight—but it was absolutely worth it. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere with fun little touches, and the owner’s personality shines through both in person and online. A great spot worth stopping for every time. Follow there Instagram (n.y.bagles_obx) and Facebook (N.Y bagels) to see all the Different varieties of bagels people get! P.S SUPER CHEAP!

Trust me when I tell you, stop by and see John and Cathy at NY Bagels!!! Omg delicious! First of all the aromas hit your nose the second you open the door!!! I got the First Norwegian and some OJ! Let me tell you, the bagel was fresh and soft the flavors inside the bagel were incredible. I got mine to-go thinking I could just eat it in the car...I should have stayed there and chatted it up with the locals because the bagel was big and delicious. And the atmosphere and service were great. I felt at home with friends!!! Anyway, there is my take. Enjoy it for yourself!

Our community is lucky to have this gem of a bagel shop. Owned and operated by a hardworking husband and wife team who are up in the wee hours of the morning and every day, they bake fresh bagels and whip up delicious cream cheese from scratch seven days a week. In a tourism-driven community like ours, it’s no small feat to keep a small business running with such consistency and quality. The bagels are always fresh, perfectly baked, and full of flavor, and the warm, welcoming service keeps me coming back. I’ve seen some comments online that paint a very different picture of this business, but from my experience, those claims couldn’t be further from the truth. These owners are kind, committed, and go above and beyond for their customers. If you want authentic, fresh bagels made with care and the chance to support a true local small business, this is the place to go.

I grew up on Long Island, and these are probably the closest you'll get to NY bagels without making the trip out to NY. Friendly service, nice variety of fresh whipped cream cheese, and decent prices. They also had breakfast sandwich options which I didn't try. I only got the plain cream cheese with my bagels, but it was tasty and reminded me of Temp Tee. The atmosphere of the place even reminded me of a NY bagels shop. Definitely recommend going here if you're looking for some good bagels.

We are NYers and I hesitate to go because we aren't in NY. I would say that the bagels are ok. The lady behind the counter was not pleasant at all and wasn't even trying to be kind. It was around 7:30 am so it was early in the day. She asked if I wanted plain cream cheese and I said, oh what are my options. She said very abruptly, under cream cheese and pointed to their large chalkboard with her pen. It was my 1st time there and I didnt have much time to absorb the entire board. It doesn't take much to be nice. Please have patience with people and work on your customer service. It really does make a difference. As a side note, the young lady who gave us our food was very pleasant.
