The fried oysters were great. Fat and crispy and hot. We also has the chocolate coconut bread pudding . It was really good. Waitstaff was amazing.

Brent Nultemeier

This restaurant is hands down becoming one of my favorite places to eat on the Outer Banks . Their food is fresh and fantastic. A lot of my friends rage about the philly cheese steak . Seafood ROCKS!

Toni Adkins

The crabcake sandwich is fresh and wonderful, along with the orange infused margaritas and the Philly cheese steak was flavorful!!!

Michele Davidson

Doesn't look like much from the outside but was really really good. So glad we discovered it. Everything we ate was amazing but especially loved fried green tomato and shrimp and mussels

James Filtz

The jerk wings are magically special--a familiar item with such a profoundly special flavor. The spinach arugula salad is also craveable. An exceptionally well run establishment!

Literally 10 years since the last visit and I came for the same delicious sandwhich . Shrimp not a burger . ♥️

Fried green tomato and shrimp appetizer is a must. Good beer selection . The fried oysters were tasty and one of the largest portion sizes I've ever had.

Amazing food and service! The spicy Senorita drink is great, so were Napoleon shrimp and fried green tomatoes . Specials excellent as well

The Fried Green Tomato & Shrimp appetizer was fantastic and the crab cakes are stellar with tons of meat. Ask for them broiled.

Hooray for freshly ground hamburger cooked to order and fresh cut fries . Elevated dining experience relative to the location and price. Good for kids and adults.

Shrimp not a burger=the most delicious sandwich ever made. It's on the lunch menu , but they'll make it for dinner because they're just that nice.

The “shrimp not a burger ” was absolutely delicious! I can’t rave about it enough. So GOOD!!!

Not an awesome experience. We waited over an hour...my husband had the Shrimp and Grits and really disliked it. I had pasta with shrimp and crab . It lacked flavor and the crab was hard to find.
