Tale of the Whale in South Tyneside

Food was excellent, and our server was friendly & fun ! A bit noisy, hard to have conversations with others

2024: A must visit on a trip to OBX. Arrived at 4:15. Checkin at 4:35. Pager goes off before 5:00. 20% off entire bill. Great service and wonderful food. 2023: A superb way to end the week. Our server, Jordan, was a delightful girl and made the whole experience even better. Shrimp and grits was a great twist on the classic with a rich sauce. Those mashed potatoes are addictive. Arrived at 4:45 and the parking lot was full. Name on the list for first available and only waited 20 minutes. Next time we’ll wait for a seat with a view. Can’t wait to try another dish. Returned 2 days later and had another great experience with Courtney. Tilefish and grits was unique with the bruschetta topping. 3 way grill perfectly cooked. Definitely my go to place next trip to OBX.

Great food and service, a little loud for holding a conversation at your table.

I slipped the hostess a dollar and got a table with a water view, no waiting.

Green beans and mashed potatoes were great. Filet ordered medium was raw and barely warm when served but made a great breakfast burrito the next day. Not really complaining for early bird price special and they were clobbered with large parties. Sunsets are pretty amazing so it's more about the location which is spot on.

Food is always good and great portions. Tonight we had a large party. Manager had a problem because we all didn't come in all at once as we stated some were outside with little ones getting diaper changes. He said he would give us a few minutes or we'd have to leave. Little uncalled for. I understand it's a busy place but take our drinks and apps and the rest of the party would of been there before jumping down our throats. Other then the Manager everything else was great.

They are very busy for a VERY good reason. The service was amazing, and everyone was so friendly. The atmosphere was also perfect. You can have a gorgeous view of the water while you eat. Even if you're not by the windows, you have a candle at the table and it's an absolutely lovely date experience. The food is absolutely delicious! Even the table bread is a delight. My husband got the swordfish and wahoo duo and I got the pasta with shrimp and scallops. They were both the best seafood we have had in a very very long time. I was a little jealous I couldn't munch all of his dish too! We can't wait until our next visit to enjoy another beautiful date night.

Due to not having all of the people in my party there right when the buzzer went off the male owner told me I couldn’t be seated until they all arrived. I told him how they were in the parking lot trying to park and couldn’t find parking so he came back a few times and very rudely kept asking where they were. I called my friends to hurry up that he was being rude and he came over to me for a fourth time and asked if I thought he was being rude, I said yeah kinda so he said well we’re seating the people who are here and you can go back on the list and wait. (Mind you this was all within 5 minutes of waiting for my friends to park). Then he walks to the host stand and tells the host if I didn’t like that I could leave. I was really thrown off by the attitude he was giving me and the disrespect especially where he is the owner. You would think he would’ve been a lot more professional and friendly. Also my friends food had so many shells with the baked crab dishes they couldn’t even eat it. The waitress was amazing and the host. The food is definitely subpar. Not worth the wait nor the money. I’ve noticed there have been plenty of bad reviews about the owner so hopefully he will try to be more courteous and treat people with better respect. Also watched him seat a party of ten when the lady said they were still waiting on people.

For the first time ever, we ate at the bar. It was fascinating watching the two bartenders make the elaborate concoctions. They were like a whirlwind!! In between whipping up the various mixed drinks, they did a nice job waiting on us. The food was excellent as always and remember to leave time for dessert!! And they have Lost Colony beer!!

Excellent food. Get there early to be seated when open. Truly great all around!

Food was amazing, drinks were awesome and waitress/bartender was super nice and helpful answering all our questions

You better hurry they close for the season, October 26.

Great cocktails, food and staff

Great food, great service, very fairly priced for quality of the meal. Broiled Seafood Combo platter was prepared excellent, Wifes Prime Rib and Cocunut Shrimp was amazing, Prime melted like butter and shrimp were huge and perfectly prepared. Service was superb. Minimal wait time was well worth it. Thanks for a great meal!!

OMG!!!! Great food and service and the view is amazing 🤩 outdoor bar and music while you are waiting for the table. Great place!!!!!

Delicious! Reservations are a must and they have a 20% early bird discount which was great. The food came out fast for our large party and it was delicious. No complaints or anything but what really made the whole night was our waiter. He was the best and made everything way more enjoyable.

Decided to tryout the Tale of the whale as one of our food options for vacation this week, also it being our first time in OBX. Now the staff was really friendly however after waiting 2 hours just for my bf to get food poisoning from the lobster and ruining the rest of our trip…. It’s a no for me.

Classy dinner night out. Sat by the window with views of the water. Absolutely delicious food for the prices!

I try to go there every time.I'm at the beach never had bad food

DELICIOUS food, incredible atmosphere. The wait can be long, even arriving 15 minutes prior to opening. It's well worth any wait, enjoy the sunset views on the water, outdoor bar and sometimes live music. The food; perfect. I had the scallops in creamy garlic pasta...mmmm!

This place is amazing. The Cajun special is where it's at. Blackened filet and fish is the day was amazing. Heather was our initial waitress and was awesome. We liked the place so much, we returned 2 days later. Oh, and the desserts... yummmm!!!

First restaurant stop on my vacation. I wish I could give more stars but alas I can't. So I had to wait over an hour and half, and I was a party of 1! Absolutely insane! These people don't take reservations, which is ridiculous. The sassy guy behind the front desk, who was sassier than me if that's to be believed, lol, told me that I'd have to wait an additional 10-15 minutes for a water front table. This in addition to the 1.5 hours I was gonna be waiting....lordt. I simply accepted it because I was starving and knew it was gonna be like this anywhere I went. Thank gawd they had a bar behind the restaurant. So I ordered a few drinks while I waited. Finally I got seated to a great table but unfortunately, it was dark, so hard to see out past their pier. Anyway, my server was very kind and professional. She made some great suggestions from the menu. I decided to get one of their appetizer specials, light fried tuna bites with a honey sriracha sauce on top. Unfortunately, the appetizer fell flat on taste and texture. Poorly seasoned and rubbery. Also the sauce was very light, if nonexistent on the sriracha. The main course made up for it though. I got fried shrimp with a delicious crab cake. It came with mashed potatoes and broccoli cooked to perfection. Oh and the hush puppies were to die for! All in all, a great meal aside from the appetizer. So why only 3 stars? Well aside from unnecessarily having to wait nearly 2 hours for a table for one, the most obnoxious server was working near my server's section. Talk about putting it on thick, this guy was like a grinning, loud mouthed idiot the entire time I was there. Almost completely ruined my dining experience. I get it, I've been in the industry over 21 years, as a server you've got to do different things to stand out, and make sure your customers are happy. But this guy was trying WAAAAYYY too hard. At one point I wanted to be like "Hey buddy, take a bus to NYC if you wana be on Broadway or do stand up, but please STFU if you gonna stay here!" In the end, I'll probably give these guys another chance, but if they saddle me with that loud, obnoxious server...all bets are off!

Our party of four arrived at 4:45. I approached the host who was sitting outside the door. He told me the wait was an hour and fifteen minutes from 5:00 but, if we were interested in lounge seating with no water view, the wait would be thirty minutes. I agreed to lounge seating. We were paged about seventy five minutes later, still in good spirits and happy to be called. I mentioned to the seating host what the other host told me about wait times and questioned why our wait was so long. He turned to me, visibly annoyed, and said if we weren’t happy we could leave. I then saw the host who had taken my name outside and I said, "There's the guy who said it would be thirty minutes." That host denied ever saying such thing to me and claimed he doesn't lie. The other man seating us appeared to be a manager or someone in authority. He said the other host has worked there a long time and would not lie. He was very hostile and kept telling me maybe we should leave. As we approached our table (in the lounge BTW), I decided I did not want to give these people my business. We were shocked at this uncalled for treatment. My daughter and grandson were in disbelief. We turned around and walked out. We ended up having a lovely dinner a short way down the road at Blue Water Grill in Manteo. Their staff is so polite and it made up for the rudeness at Tale of the Whale.

We had a large part of 14, they accommodated wonderfully. Food was amazing andouille server was on top of everything. Mia was kind fast and exceptional!!!!! Thank you, we will be returning!!!

Aside from the 90 min wait, the food wasn’t all that to write home about. The crab dip appetizer was subpar and very garlic tasting. The entrees were decent mix but didn’t seem to be seasoned very well. The staff were friendly and the wait on the dock was long but a good time to relax and grab a drink.

My husband & I went out for dinner just the two of us and very much enjoyed it. The wait was a bit long, about an hour & forty minutes, however they were insanely busy and I saw at least two massive parties. This was a Thursday in Sept, so be prepared ahead of time for a wait. The food was worth the wait and came out much quicker than I was expecting. Our server, Richard, was fantastic. He was on top of it, taking care of us with a smile on his face the whole time. He was kind, friendly, helpful & patient - despite the packed tables around us. He was working incredibly hard & did a great job of making our experience enjoyable. I look forward to coming back on our next vacation

Absolutely amazing! I had the tarragon sauce on wahoo. Spectacular!

best food, service, and atmosphere. my favorite place to dine in the OBX.

Lovely place we went to for our anniversary dinner.

This place was incredible. There was quite a wait to get in but with live music and a bar outside, the wait was not too bad. But it was definitely worth it. The service and atmosphere were on point and fast!

The food and service were amazing. If you're not a seafood fan, I recommend getting their grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The chicken was very tender and cooked to perfection. The caesar salad was a great starter and of course their fresh bread will hold you over until your meal arrives. Can't say enough great things about this place. If you want their early bird pricing, you should get there by 4:30 to get your name on the list. They open at 5. We arrived at 4:45 and only had to wait until 5:30 or so. They have a great bar area in the back where you can pick up a drink and then relax on their long walkway overlooking the water. Lots of seating while you are waiting as long as you get there early. Otherwise, you should plan to come after 7.

For our final night in the OBX, we took in this restaurant for the second time this week. We were a party of 8. From surf and turf, to Prime Rib to a fried oyster dinner, each meal was superb! Our server, Robin, handled us with "grace"! Drinks, appetizers, and entrees were spectacular. We took desserts to go and each was delicious. An exceptional fine dining experience!

Had a great dinner, server was good but some there were heads above her in personality.

We’ve been wanting to check out Tale of a Whale for a couple years, we didn’t know what we’ve been missing. This has become our #1 Seafood Restaurant in OBX. We went on a Friday evening, the wait was estimated at 1.5 hours (but they had an outside bar and live entertainment. And since we came for the food and not the view, we didn’t care if we weren’t seated with a view of the water so we were inside in only 45 minutes. Luckily we were offered daily specials at reduced rate ($10 less). We spend about $250+ tip for 4 people with appetizers and a couple of drinks. Delicious! Highly Recommended!

You can sit outside on the water/ deck and listen to live music. We went in around 530 pm , sat on the deck for about 3 minutes, and our table was ready Great crab cakes! My 12 year loved the chicken fingers. Friendly staff

Always a good meal. Solid menu with something for everyone.

I dined at this restaurant and it was a disappointing experience overall. The food was bland and lacked any real flavor, which was just the beginning of the issues I faced. The major issue arose when my car was hit in the parking lot. When I ask the owner for help, I was met with a dismissive and unhelpful attitude. He essentially shrugged off the situation, claiming there was nothing he could or would do. This was particularly frustrating because I later found out I was the second customer that day whose car was damaged, yet the owner downplayed the situation instead of offering any help & showed no concern or empathy. I suspect this place might have over-served alcohol to the individuals who caused the damage, which could explain the owner reluctance to help. The lack of support and disregard for the situation was shocking and unacceptable. The owner attitude, combined with the mediocre food, makes it clear that customer care is not a priority here. If you value good service and want to avoid potential issues with your vehicle, it's best to steer clear of this place. Other reviews suggest similar problems with the owner's behavior, which reinforces my negative experience. Given my experience I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Great experience all around. Told us it would be a 30 min wait, we only waited maybe 10. Food came out quickly, fresh & hot. Our table ordered; hush puppies appetizer, shrimp & grits, fried shrimp & filet, and the seafood pasta with Cajun cream sauce & crab meat. Delicious! Took our desserts to go which were tasty back at home. We will definitely be back in the future!!

Lead hostess must be related to owner since she had a cocky attitude not only to my party but the girls she supervised. Service was ok. I had enough fish for the week so I ordered the prime rib which was cooked correctly but a cheap piece of meat. They should not serve meat if they are buying low coat low quality. My wife had risotto that was the worse she ever had. I do not know what others in the group ordered but their opinion was it was just ok. I suggest you skip this restaurant and wait at Millers not far away.

Run don’t walk here for a great dinner. And definitely worth getting there in time for the early bird discount. Hush puppies are the best we’ve ever had. Bruschetta was unbelievable. And we got the 2lbs of snow crab (they really mean two pounds!), prime rib (one of the best we’ve had and I’m from Montana), and some of the fried seafood combos. We only took some of the food home because we went too hard on appetizers. This will be a staple spot any time we’re in OBX. Service was also impeccable (thank you Zach!). Just wish we’d save more room for dessert!

Tale of the Whale is a top-notch dining experience in the Outer Banks. The seafood is incredibly fresh and prepared to perfection. The waterfront view adds to the ambiance, making it a great spot for a special night out. Don’t miss out on their signature dishes—you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing food!! Great service!! Love that you can have a drink outside, listen to music and relax by the water if there is a wait.

Coconut shrimp 🍤 so sweet and more sweet with Marmalade dip... way to sweet! Should have a sweet chili pepper dip instead.hot spice and sweet better 😋

Went on a rainy day so outside wasn’t an option. Grabbed seats at the bar to eat. Didn’t try all that many items but this place just delivered in what we were looking to experience! My fish duo meal and the crème brûlée were delicious and the environment was on par - active but not too loud, friendly, efficient, perfect balance of feeling both laid back and fancy.

Absolutely amazing food and server (Jordan) was top notch. Better get there at 345p for the 4p opening.

Food was excellent and customer service was great.

Food was amazing! Highly recommend

We were on vacation & it was the best & most affordable meal we had all week!!! A+

Too crowded. Too long a wait. We left

The food was absolutely amazing. We usually try one restaurant during each vacation just to say we've been there, tried that. But, Tale of the Whale is a different story. We will be returning to this awesome restaurant on the water to try more succulent food.

Long wait, but well worth it. They do have plenty of outdoor seating on the water and music while you wait. Staff is great.

Delicious sea food and beautiful views. We will definitely be back.

I absolutely loved this restaurant and will go again on my next trip to OBX. The service, food, and atmosphere are fantastic. My meal was delicious. I would give 6 stars if possible. We drove from Corolla which was about an hour but well worth it.

We had dinner here tonight and it was well worth the wait. We recommend that if you were in the area and want to try it it is a definite 10 out of 10 but get there early. The food did not disappoint. The place is absolutely immaculate and super clean we got to meet one of the owners. She was lovely herself Was polite and proper and fast and courteous

Lovely, delicious, gluten free pasta!, great service! Get there at 3:30 to put your name on the list!

The food is good and merits at least a 4, but the bar brings it down to a 3. The mixed drink I got seemed to have basically no alcohol despite being $12, but the thing that felt slimy was the way the gratuity was done. When ringing up your card the bartender asks if you want to add a gratuity. If you say yes, they automatically add 20% on without telling you, which is quite steep for tipping someone making your drink. By the time you get your card back youve got no choice but to sign. I saw multiple people as surprised as I was when this happened. Overall the bar setup feels quite slimy, which is out of character for the rest of the establishment. I hope they change this practice as it sullies the place's hard-earned reputation.

Unfortunately we never got to celebrate my 80th birthday with my family of 20. My granddaughter contacted Tale of Whale the week before and were told to call morning of our reservation and we would be taken care of. She called 35 times and got an 8:15 seating. This is so unacceptable and of course we had to find another restaurant. Why wait until the day of our dinner and not take the reservation before we arrive. We will never go back to Tale of The Whale because of the way we were treated, very unprofessional and rude. Really 35 phone calls!! You are not serving your customers with respect. Carole Vernon, a proud and grateful 80th GRANDMOTHER

Be prepared to wait for a table if you go at dinner time. We were quoted an hour & forty-five minutes & waited about an hour & twenty minutes but it was so worth it. We had Richard as our server & he was fantastic. I can’t stop singing his praises. He was so personable & on top of everything. The food was amazing & dessert was to die for. No complaints about this place whatsoever. Loved the girl bartender outside while we waited as well. She recommended the spicy margarita & I loved it. The seafood was so fresh & everything came out quickly & hot. 100/10 recommend!!

We were told there would be a 2hr wait or that the bar seating was first come first serve for two of us. I got a drink at the bar and waited for someone to leave only to be rudely told by the bartender that they were reserved. I went back to the hostess stand (all of whom were friendly and tried to accommodate) to ask if it was first come first served or if those seats were reserved. She reiterated the FCFS and checked with the bartender who again said they were being saved. I don’t fault the hostess but the bartenders were rude and shouldn’t be allowed to hold seats if the hostess is going to say they are FCFS.

My husband and I were on vacation with a group when we went to Tale of the Whale. It was our (my husband and I) first time there. We both ordered the 10oz filet mignon meal that came with broccoli and a baked potato. Also got 6 hushpuppies. I had the pina colada and he had the mango hurricane and both were absolutely delicious!! The service was on point. 5 stars for sure. Zac was amazing. I wish I had thought to get pictures but I didnt. The only downside was the level of noise from so many big groups of people laughing and talking. I could barely hear what anyone was saying. Aside from that, great place with a great view of the water. * Note- neither my husband nor myself eat seafood, hence the steak dinners, but, we heard the seafood meals were just as yummy*

Everything was wonderful. Drinks, appetizers, entrees, and our Server, Richard, was the BEST. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stats for the atmosphere was because of how loud it was inside the restaurant. But they were very busy, kind of beyond their control. Great views from the pier out back!!

Most gorgeous view at dinner yet! Our large party was comfortably accommodated and the food was outstanding!! I am still dreaming of the She Crab soup. Our server, Jose, was an incredible server and our group really enjoyed him. We will definitely be back!

I thought the seafood I had in Skagway, Alaska was the best seafood meal I ever had. I can’t say that anymore. The seafood platter I had here was exceptional. The service was fast and personal. It was a wait to go in, but worth it. A must stop in the Outer Banks.

We had the best waiter. He was funny, gave us places to visit while we were in town. An the food was amazing. Highly recommend going there. Best meal we had the entire vacation.

Amazing food and beautiful setting. The food is a great quality and at a fair price. They wait to be seated can be Ling, but it's worth it!

Excellent food and generous portions!! The best seafood restaurant I've ever experienced!!

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Clean and inviting, nice view of the water.

Great value. Excellent food. The special: Surf and turf for 50.00. Filet was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Lobster was perfect. Highly recommend

Best fish dinner my husband had this year. The Cobia and Halibut duo was excellent! Also the crab dip is always a must have! Yummy... Make sure you save room for dessert.

Always our "go to" restaurant at OBX. Great food reasonably priced.

Very cute little souvenir store. Loved the items and most were very reasonably priced!

Wait staff was good. Had grilled cobia and wahoo. Not fresh, dry, previously frozen. Others in our party had “blacked” seafood. It was not blackened, just smothered in spices. Disappointed.

Best OBX restaurant!! Extensive food and drink menu to enjoy. The outside bar makes waiting fun. The owners and staff are wonderful! Get there early to get your name on the waitlist.

The service is fine. The atmosphere tends to be loud. The food is okay (could use some spice and perhaps shake up the menu every once in a while).

I cannot say not worth the wait enough. We called ahead to ensure they could manage our family food allergy. They assured us it would not be a problem, 4 hours and 5 salads later my son got something safe to eat. Party of 6, 3 people ate at mcdonalds after our meal as an upgrade. The picture was our water, seemingly straight from the porta-a-john. Eating at the local soup kitchen would be an upgrade. Beautiful view of the water while you wait for food not safe to eat.

Read a lot of reviews and decided to give it a go. The service was fast, but sometimes fast isn’t better. The food was average to be honest. Fried seafood platter was cooked well but very under seasoned. None of the seafood had any flavor. I actually sprinkled some salt on it trying to help it out a bit. Coconut shrimp and filet - the steak was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning and the coconut shrimp was overcooked and dry. The waitress was very nice and attentive. We were just a bit disappointed, when you start pumping out food so fast that the care in perfecting it is compromised it’s not a good thing. We hope that the owners take our review to heart and not just as a bad review. We are reviewing to give honest feedback and help with future diners.

Went here last week and got really good crab legs, crab au gratin, and coconut shrimp, except during COVID when a lot of things were out of stock and short staffed I have never had a bad meal here. Truly the best sea food in OBX.

Tale of the Whale is our date night every time we vacation in OBX from Pittsburgh. Food and service are excellent! Prices are very fair for the huge, quality portions! Everything we've had has been exceptional! It gets busy so be prepared for a wait. Go out back, get a drink at the outside bar, hang on the dock and listen to live music while waiting for your table. Highly recommend!

I spoke with the owner this evening and asked for a small favor. My wife and I and for that matter our entire family has looked forward to eating our one dinner out at this place. Well we now have a 2 month old child and I asked if they could make one bend in their rules of no carry out. The owner told me to “go right ahead and bad mouth us online”. Personally I do not think it’s bad mouthing but I can tell you that we will never eat here again and will let every person I know that the owner was rude and basically encouraged a bad review. It’s sad that not even any compassion was given. I guess you have all the customers you need! I hope others read this review and understand the type of owner and establishment they are running. You should be ashamed of yourself as your google listing clearly says take out.

We come here every year while on vacation and it's always a great meal. My wife really likes the jewelry they sell up front by the entrance too.

Got there for the early bird special. Everything was as delicious as it is every year. Shrimp and grits was fantastic.

Well run, classy restaraunt that has the seasonal rush down pat. The service is prompt, friendly and informative. The food is in good proportions and whether seafood or meat is done as ordered and well prepared. We are local and take visitors there always. Great dining even during the “season”.

There's a wait pretty much everywhere, but if you have to wait, a view of the ocean and some live music is a good way to spend the time. Our server was fantastic, and the food was pretty good. We will definitely be going back.

Absolutely delicious food. Upper end dining experience. Great views of the sound.

Food, staff, and the view were amazing, and I will be coming back

Definitely on my top 3 favorite restaurants in OBX! Service is absolutely amazing! Food is always so great. When you find an establishment that’s family owned and the owner seats you and makes sure everything is ok with your order multiple times you’re in good hands. With any restaurant in OBX definitely call ahead!

Perfect. Best food in Nags Head period. Our waiter was funny and quick. Highly recommend everything seafood, chicken and steak!

We knew this place was going to be great seeing the number of cars in the parking lot before then opening at 4 pm. We had a large party of 15 and they were able to accommodate us if we came right at 4. Between 4-5 is the early bird special, and you save 20% off your check! I believe our servers name was Zack, but if not.. either way, our server was fantastic! We started off with the calamari, and it was so flavorful and delicious. My daughter got the kids' popcorn shrimp while my son got the fried combination platter. My fiance ordered the broiled platter, and i got the tale of the whale grill special. Everything was delicious! Those broiled scallops were fantastic, and I can't get over by how delicious those mashed potatoes were. The food came out quick and hot, and everything was great. We can't wait to visit nags head again so we can return here for a meal.

We have been coming for years and it is always phenomenal. We have always had great servers, but Richard is fabulous! Exceptional service for our party of 18.

Excellent meal, we visit each year for the last 15 years. We take advantage of the early bird special and get 20% off the meal.

Great restaurant food service 👌 😋

This was the first time my boyfriend and I have eaten at the restaurant. We arrived early to place our name on the seating wait list. I'm so glad we did! This is a very popular restaurant so arriving early allowed us to be seated as soon as the restaurant opened. It was worth it to arrive early because the entire dining experience was exceptional. Our server, Lily, was friendly and efficient. The view of the sound from our table was beautiful. The entrees were to die for! The crab and shrimp au gratin was superb and the prime rib was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant. I'll definitely dine there again!

The tale of whale i always thought it was tail.. was a nice place to enjoy company family and delicious food over looking the water in obx nc. Great friendly service and fare pricing for the food. Nice bar outside to enjoy a beverage on the dock while talking to other visitors from other parts of the country.

A staple stop when we are down in the OBX. We always get the broiled seafood platter. We also got the crab dip and tried one of their specials, fried salmon with a honey sriracha sauce - both delish!

Skip lunch, get to the restaurant before 4pm, and put your name on the list! We arrived by 3:40 and made it to the first round of seating. By 4, there was an hour wait. Crab dip, shrimp ceviche, wedge salad were awesome. Wahoo with lobster cream sauce and mashed potatoes, the surf and turf... Wonderful. Fresh. They know how to cook a steak. We were fortunate to have Richard as our waiter. The moment he walked up to our table, we knew we were in for a great meal.

Gorgeous view, great service, and yummy food!!

Great food. Great service. Highly recommend.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! My family has been going here every year when we’re at the beach, for as long as I can remember! It’s a tradition! Great food, great outdoor bar with drinks for all ages, (get the shirley temple it’s so good) and amazing gift shop! I always get jewelry from the shop and it’s reasonably priced and great quality! 100/10 Make sure that you eat here while in the beautiful OBX!

Ordered the surf and turf. blackened tuna, as you see in the picture this was not blackened it was spicy. The first steak was way over cooked and the second one was way under cooked. The price was good if the food would have been what I ordered . 2 1/2 hour wait for food that was not what I ordered. We will not be going back. Would not suggest this to anyone

Fantastic meal in a beautiful location. Well worth the wait. Great food and service. Definitely a five-star experience.
