Reviews
After being seated we were quickly met by our server. My wife has a food allergy (dairy) and the server explained that she was new and would check to ensure they could accommodate my wife’s meal request. I asked about the ‘Specials of the day” and the server just read back to me what was written on a blackboard. What I was looking for was an explanation of what was included and the price.
My wife had a burger that she said was very good and I had the fried shrimp basket that was excellent.
Although the server was new, she was very attentive. It’s not fancy inside, but the food is good.
When we arrived just after 2 PM on a Thursday, no one greeted us at the door. People were inside eating. We eventually sat ourselves and needed to look for a server. When she came over, she said they were temporarily closed from 2 PM to 4 PM (no sign on door). We were about to leave, but she said we could stay and she would tell the kitchen. We later found out they were short staffed because the season had ended.
Our drink and food orders were taken quickly. Drinks took about 5 min. Food took about 15 min. Draft beer selection was very good, about 10 brands including Modelo on tap (my favorite). My drink was eventually empty and I needed to ask for a refill (not a good service feature). However, they were short staffed.
When the food arrived, it was HOT. Two in my party had fish and chips ($20), one had seafood nachos with crab and shrimp ($16). Our fish was VERY GOOD. Fried just right, simple batter. Likely fresh Haddock (Cod family). It was right out of the frier and obviously fresh. Juicy, and broke apart easily. VERY GOOD quality. Fries (not “chips”) were crispy and tasty. The seafood nachos were also VERY GOOD, real crab and shrimp with a cream sauce, and nacho fixings. Both entrees were LARGE portions.
I would rate my overall experience at this restaurant as 4/5. For the Outer Banks, I would rate price point at this restaurant as average to slightly higher with good value for the money. Portions were large and food quality was very good. Service could have been better, but given the situation it was OK. Overall, I was satisfied to very satisfied with our dining experience.
DETAILS – We explained some dietary concerns we had and Ken provided us with about the menu and Sara helped us with a few questions and made sure that our visit was enjoyable.
The food was hot right out of the kitchen, the fish tacos, shrimp, and fries were delicious!
BE AWARE: After reviewing my receipt, I noticed a Total (non-cash) price of $47.06 and a Total (cash) price of $45.25
That said— restaurants are extremely limited in the off season so it was busy and they did a good job keeping up with the crowds and the food was edible but disappointing for everyone except my husband. It was $100 for 1 salad, 1 appetizer, 2 meals, and a soda and we’ve had much better food for a lot less— this was the only meal we ate out and we left feeling disappointed.
