David Aponte

Definitely a must for the OBX! Beer is delicious and the food is absolutely incredible! Sit at the bar if you want to skip the wait and try the crab dip .

Tony Chang

Try the Tuna Stack - tuna stack ~ roasted garlic pepper seared tuna served rare over cucumber salad with wasabi and miso ginger aioli , topped with pickled ginger and fried wontons (via @Foodspotting)

Kendra Simmons

Great hush puppies for appetizer . Love the fresh made root beer and the special sandwich I had was great!!

Terri Lynn

AMAZING. I go to OBX frequently and always end up here. The food is outstanding!!! Beer is fantastic. They have their own pastry chef on site. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!

Linda Hirw

came here once & enjoyed cool local brewery atmosphere. came here second time & experienced trying too hard, wannabe club scene. a bit schizophrenic. cute bartenders though. .

Joschka

Great service! The lemongrass wheat beer and the Flounder Platter are amazing. What makes it even better is the fact that this brewery is 100% wind powered !

Dr Fade

Service can be very slow, but the wait is generally worth the wait. I do wish they would be a little more bold with hops and deliver an IPA or APA, but the beers are generally solid.

kimberly ann

Went here for our honeymoon-- came back with the fam! Outside bar in the back for if you have to wait. All the beers are Delish.

Tony Chang

Try the Shrimp 'N Grits - shrimp'n grits ~ seared shrimp over coarse stone ground grits , red-eye gravy and sweet potato chips (via @Foodspotting)

Laura Groom

Great outdoor area ....but we were here after dark in November to sit outside with our dog. Nobody but us out there. We were told by the bartender “no dogs out back”. On vaca with dog. Bummer.

rick stecker

Everything was better than I expected - except the service. Half of our orders were incorrect, and had to go back for the correct sides, etc.

Noel Latham

OMG! This place is phenomenal! Try anything, and your guaranteed to be happy!

Neil Bonner

The kitchen can be slow at times but the food is always great. Daily specials are a good choice. One of the best values in the OBX.

Kevin Buckley

Pale Ale is solid, but no IPA ? Also, open kitchen seems like a lot of hands touching the food. Doesn't exude confidence in the chow (I've only had fried apps in earlier visits)

Ron Mueller

This place is simply amazing. Meet the owners (shown here) at the bar after some great food!!

Tony Chang

Try the Sweet Potato Fries - sweet potato fries ~ thick-cut and served with maple-bbq sauce (via @Foodspotting)

Jeremy C

Fried jalapeños were great! The burger was simple, but tasty. The lemongrass beer reminded me too much of sunscreen .

Daniel Vaughan

Great beer and an awesome restaurant . Make their own electricity to power brewpub via a windmill

hellpellet

Beautiful beers , great good. Sit here on a rainy beach afternoon & pass the time. Or see an awesome concert .

OBX Entertainment

Great tap beers ! Love the lemongrass wheat and the jalapeño bottle caps !

Doug Stryker

Jalapeño Bottlecaps are lightly breaded and tasty. But make no mistake, they're spicy !

Traci Stryker

The portobello sandwich is awesome!! The jalapeño bottle caps are great, but spicy !! Great atmosphere.

Emilie Moseley

HUGE serving of calamari and the marinara was delicious. Will get every time.

Matt R

Brats are awesome, hush puppies addicting, fried and steamed shrimp both great. And the lemongrass beer is nice and light.

Chelsea S

The Lemongrass beer is fantastic! Had the hushpuppies and the backyard pizza , both very tasty.

Sarah Synoground Souza

Sit in the outside bar area and Jacob is amazing. Try the beer mimosa

Dan Costello

Try the Broke Tooth Stout - thank me later. Wifi beachbeer2001

Margaret Weber

Halfway through dinner we spotted a mouse hanging out on a frame on the wall, then when they tried to capture it the little thing leaped and ran across the ground towards the bar . Very exciting dinner

Tony Chang

Try the Calamari - calamari ~ fried and served with remoulade dipping sauce or marinara . (via @Foodspotting)

Neat little playground in the back and a great outdoor space to have a beer

Michele Davidson

Burgers , yardbird , buffalo wings great fries & outdoor space

Amanda Pulliam

The root beer is fantastic! But it's 99 cent refills. And the crab cake sandwich is good too

AJ

Food and beer are very good. Service on The other hand, eh. Ordered a beer 10 mins later asked about it she said she hadn't put it in but she had drank a red bull to wake up a bit...wow

Kevin Hall

Great beer , go for the sampler. Gravity was one of the better ones.

Jim Platner

Tasty local brews , especially the Olsch. "First wind powered brewery in America"

Megan Selby

Lemongrass wheat beer was a favorite after trying them all with a flight.

Joel Thurston

Great kids area and a good selection of beers .

Mark Addis

Great beers with a menu that is pretty reliable. During the summer, bring the kids, awesome playground out back with picnic tables , service, and music .

Tony Chang

Try the Bread With Pesto Oil - bread with pesto oil (via @Foodspotting)

Seth Frost

Beer is watered down. Did the sampler. 4 diff beers , all disappointments. Wings are super hot. Fried flounder platter is amazing. Potato wedges are great!

William Gray

Well worth visiting for the beer (try a flight) - the food is unmemorable at best.

Theresa M

Order from the specials - its the freshest catches & where the kitchen really shines

Rachel J.

Good chicken wrap & the wedges are delish :) if you like quiet , ask for a table upstairs

Mark Schenden

The steak was excellent as was the IPA .
