Thanks to Bethany and Grace for their awesome service at our rehearsal dinner and thanks to Diana for helping set it up/answering all our questions. We hadal a great time!
This was our favorite restaurant we went to on vacation and in fact we ate dinner here twice in our week there. My husband is vegetarian and in general the Outer Banks is not the most vegetarian friendly place to eat. He had multiple options, including a homemade veggie burger, a beet salad, jalapeño cheese curds, etc. The staff is all friendly and nice. And the backyard is the icing on the cake. Large outdoor seating area with picnic tables, a pirate ship playground, live music, and allows dogs. We will definitely be returning on our next vacation.
Great place outside to sit with our pup. Hubby had the fish and chips and a beer and enjoyed it. Bonus, they have a gluten free menu, but cross contamination is still possible. Really enjoyed it. Jacob was our bartender and he was awesome.
Stopped here to grab a drink before heading to our rental. The outdoor space is dog friendly and awesome to hang out in. Lots of shade is provided by the trees and vining plants that are part of the landscaping. Picnic tables with umbrellas are scattered around, and the outdoor bar has some seating available. We were greeted by the friendly bartender, who immediately offered our pup water. The beers were good and we enjoyed hanging out. You'd never know you were in the hustle and bustle when you're in this space!
By far our favorite meal during our stay on OBX. Handicap accessible, delicious food. We had the skirt steak Caesar Salad (enormous portion of steak!) the jalapeño cheese curds, crab and shrimp dip, buffalo wings, and scallops with risotto. All highly recommended!!
This was the first brewery we visited during our stay in Kill Devil Hills. Great choice...loved the outdoor seating with live music. Enjoyed the beer too. The food wasn't bad either.
I had the fish n chips with their signature Kölsch, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. The thick-cut fries were tasty. Everything paired nicely with the creamy tartar sauce and fresh slaw. The Kölsch was light, crisp, and refreshing, and it's an ideal match for fish n chips. Great food, great beer, and a cool layed back relaxed vibe. True gem in OBX. Plenty of parking is a plus.
Came with the wife, two young by kids under 4, and our big dog. We had an excellent experience! Super family oriented and very friendly, casual vibes. The huge outside area and play space for kids makes this the perfectly food stop. Will come back whenever we past through! But the way the FOOS was SO GOOD. Holler are the motz sticks, 11/10!
