What a pleasant surprise when we found ourselves here just in a whim. The seared and sassy scallops with the grilled vegetables, topped with a special sauce were amazing! The scallops were tender, huge and perfectly cooked. The tomahawk chop was grilled to perfection,delicious and presented with potato risotto. And to top off the experience the beignets were warm, fluffy and served with melted chocolate caramel syrup
This was are best meal of our trip to NC.
You won’t be disappointed.

In Duck, NC for a wedding and were lucky to have our rehearsal dinner at NC Coast Bar and Grill with a majority of the wedding party. We were seated right away.
Our server, Travis, was outstanding accommodating, punctual, and made sure the kids’ meals came out first, which we really appreciated. We ordered nearly all appetizers and loved every one of them, and the entrées were just as delicious.
The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, the outdoor patio was great for the kids, and everyone left happy. Highly recommend NC Coast Bar and Grill for great food and excellent service!

We were lucky enough to enjoy dining at the gazebo a few weeks ago. We had friends from out of town come in and they loved it!! Beautiful sunset, private dining and delicious food. We got the board of course and every bit of it was gone. Jen our waitress was lovely and so accommodating especially when one couple was arriving later than anticipated. Sandra was great to work with in setting it all up. Definitely will do again and of course will go anytime to sit inside as well!

We have had the privilege of coming to NC Coast Grill & Bar 4 times now; every visit has been exemplary. The food is always perfect and the service and atmosphere strive to match it. Everything we have had here was excellent you can’t go wrong on this menu.

My group enjoyed our time here. Definitely an excellent view. Some of our group was surprised one of the sauces tasted exactly like something they regularly buy from the store. The portion prices seemed small on some of the more expensive items.
We were surprised to find there was already an auto gratuity applied for our group. So we tipped double the intended amount. Definitely be aware of this in case you have a group over 7! Absolutely understandable, but we wish it would’ve been verbally communicated since the people who covered the bill weren’t wearing reading glasses. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful
The sweet potato fries and poutine were excellent. Highly recommend for taste and price!

A phenomenal dining experience! My wife, baby, and I had dinner here and it was incredible start to finish. Our server was funny, enthusiastic, and great at his job and the food was fantastic. I had the tomahawk pork chop and my wife had shrimp and grits and both were amazing. We had the beignets for dessert and probably could have eaten 2 more orders of them- they’re that good! We can’t wait to stop in again and try more items from the menu- and enjoy a beautiful waterside dinner again!

The food was magnificent, from the starters to the entree. We had the Mexican Poutine and the crab dip, both were fantastic. Certainly, one of the best sweet potato dishes I’ve ever had, and excellent crab. The service was very good, and incredibly attentive. Do note, that between 2-4, they are only serving select appetizers and soups, as the chefs prepare for dinner. This is not uncommon for chef-curated cuisine, but you should prepare if you prefer earl dinners or late lunches. Finally, the Seafood Trinity was very rich and flavorful. My girlfriend’s salad was equally flavorful, but was a little pricey ($30~) for a salad with added chicken. We will be back! Please note, parking is limited, but the shopping center across the street offers plenty!

Favorite spot in duck. They have excellent food and specials. I also love that it’s got a clean, modern and open design. They have good, basic drink options. The seafood is good and fresh. We got king crab legs that were fantastic and a special tuna bowl. I like the variety of options they have on the menu too

“We arrived early and snagged a perfect spot on the deck, with stunning views of the sound. Our server, Blake, was incredible! She was a local with such spirit, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. She guided our teens in picking out great choices and, thank goodness, talked us into trying ‘the board.’ It was nothing short of amazing—an impressive spread of everything, beautifully arranged on a plank. Every dish was phenomenal, with the crab and salmon standing out as our favorites. The surprise beignets? Decadent and the perfect way to cap off the meal. To top it off, live music started just as we finished. Overall, this place is a gem. 5 stars all around!!”
