We had the Baked shrimp and crab , White seafood pizza , and the Chef 's seafood pasta . All three were very good and the service was excellent.
Everything on the menu is delicious! crab wontons and roasted banana cream pie and Wanchese risotto . They offer to go for all of their menu until late too.
Crab and shrimp dip is a must for the appetizers . Pizza is great so are the carb legs. Waiter and manager we're friendly and was quick service
July 1884, #6 Station's leader, Captain Hobbs, insulted by surfman, T.L. Daniels, shot and killed. T.L. Buried him at sea, Hobbs was never tried for murder. T.L. is seen roaming the restaurant .
Really good food in a relaxed atmosphere on the ocean. Go early or be prepared to wait. Can't go wrong with shrimp and grits or the bacon wrapped sea scallops !!
Excellent food!!! Loved the greek spiced seared salmon and the fried okra (😋🤤). Unfortunately the takeaway is all styrofoam packaging 😢🌎
Shrimp and grits are spectacular. Get the crab dip as an app...it is awesome and who can have a complete meal without the corn and crab chowder ?
Definitely NOT hype. This is an outer banks classic, and worth any wait you may encounter. Check out the ghost stories of the old lifesaving station before your entrees arrive.
Finally found a place that does wood fire pizza and the margarita pizza was excellent! Service was great!
Sit on the deck and take in the view . The spicy Cajun fish bites were delicious!
Pay attention to the special of the day. Not hype! Tomato bacon Brie soup was amazing sea bass was also delish
I love to go mid-week when it is less crowded . So far, everything's been a winner and we've been going for nine years now.
Blackened tuna bites (app) and steamer baskets are great. Great food that you can roll off the beach and enjoy.
Omg the banana cream pie with chocolate chip crust is to die for!!! Do dessert first!!! They make them from scratch!!! Yum!!!
Baja fish is seasoned excellently! Crab cakes are good! Served very quickly😊🙌🏻
Snapper was the day's po' boy and it was awesome. Possibly the best key lime pie I've ever had, and I'm not sure I even picked the best dessert .
The fish is fresh and well prepared. The swordfish was mouth watering (special of day), and the baked shrimp and crab was delcious. Few cons: the calamari was deep fried too oily, rice was bland.
Tuna tataki appetizer was really good. Frog(whatever) clam bake sucked, seafood had no seasoning...don't get it. Prime Rib was decent and the shrimp and grits were respectable.
Everything. Great food. Great service. Curtis, our waiter , was awesome.
Great food, not-so-great service. Definitely try the chicken salad , it's amazing. The fries are delicious. Maybe next time if we had a different waitress , it would've been better.
Avoid the wait! They serve the full menu at the bar , and the bartenders make great company.
Consistently good food, attentive staff and directly across from the beach for great views on their outside upper deck.
The fried catch of the day (swordfish ) and clams were incredible!!
The Wanchese Fishermans' Risotto was amazing!!!!
Amazing Shrimp & Grits . Also the best Jalapeño poppers I have ever had.
Steamed shrimp and pizzas are amazing!
Mixed grill was one of the best meals I've ever had! Ever! Really....
Eat outside at the bar , no wait and a great view . Crab & Artichoke dip was amazing.
So mellow at dinner , sitting by the windows, eating a bucket of steamers and having a couple of beers . Love it!
Seafood ! The Baja Lime Rubbed Mahi has some kick 🔥
Everything is good. Seafood Rosotto, Shrimp and Grits .
Try the wahoo with orzo with crab meat salad if on the menu
Pretty busy on weekend nights, the waitress had a hard time keeping up with our large party, but the food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and get the "Scallops Jaques'"
Awesome Shrimp & Grits - brothy was a nice change, now I can't imagine it any other way!
Excellent food. Consistently superior food. Good service .
Fantastic service. The Risotto was incredible. Long waits are well worth it.
You have to have ANYTHING with Tuna in it at this restaurant ! The place just has AMAZING food!
Excellent chili , crab cakes , and service!
Awesome food and cozy atmosphere :)
Delicious food and beautiful views
Note: it was Augustus Whitehead who flew the first airplane in Connecticut

The hummus is amazing and you shouldn't leave without trying the coconut cream pie !
Ask to sit at window table looking out at ocean
The stuffed flounder is amazing. Plus, Stella on tap . What's not to like?
Order to go and avoid any wait:)
Don't even bother going til noon on Sundays to get your bloody fix. NC State law is to thank for a dry half hour between opening and flowing libations.
Crab cakes were good not great. The shrimp and clam bake was pretty good but a little too buttery
Open during winter months!
The dinner fish tacos are fantastic! Great happy hour specials too! - Jody Cowdrey
Really good pub food, voodoo juice is amazing! - Courtney C
Nicest mini golf course I've played. It's well maintained and has a friendly staff. - Mark Prystauk
Audio in the presentation isn't the best. - Lauren O'Reilly
