The food was absolutely amazing and the bloody Mary's not only cured my hangover but were delicious! The staff was attentive and friendly. The place was decorated very nice and it was clean. We ate at the bar and watched them cook our food. Will definitely be back on our next vacation. read more

The burgers at Art's Place are really good. Breakfast is very good also.................

On this month long stay in KDH, we have been hitting some new places so we expand our horizons. Ms T noted that Art's Place has live jazz on Mondays and I noted another claim to the best burger on the beach. So on a Monday, we had to try it. Art's is small and very local. Fortunately, we were not thrown out for being outsiders. We were lucky to get a place at the bar. All three tables were full and the bar filled up shortly after we arrived. We were both ready for that best burger. Ms T had the Pimento Cheeseburger without the jalapenos and I had a Carolina Burger with chili and slaw. These are half pound flat-top burgers and they are some of the best I have ever had. I would like them a little more salted, but I always say that. Wow, the beef is excellent. They leave a little pink in them so they are juicy and delicious. They are not compressed discs of beef. They melt in your mouth. Ms T wants hers more done next time but it will still be good. Their chili is homemade and it is different from their bowl chili. It was impressive that the server knew that there was dog/burger chili and bowl chili. Many places treat them the same. As for the best burger on the beach. This is it, hands down. I have not had them all but I know I don't need to. The ridiculous burger that makes this claim at Mulligan's is a joke and then some. There is no silly, trendy crap on these things. This is an honest diner burger, in the top five I have ever had. I had no intention of eating a half-pound burger, but it evaporated in front of me. Oh and to top it off, I am a jazz guitar lover and the guy playing here is good. His trio has keyboards and drums. Very nice to hear instead of cryin'-in-your-beer music that most bars have. The question is, how much weight will I gain if I eat this burger every Monday night? Later we returned for breakfast and enjoyed huge breakfast sandwiches, one on whole wheat and one on a huge biscuit. Half of each went home with us, so this is a great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. October 2017 - Stopped if for lunch. Ms T had her usual cheeseburger. I finally had that Nathan's chili dog and it was excellent. Art's makes some of the best dog and burger chili around. read more

I stopped by to see if the Biscuits & Gravy were as claimed to be. First appearance is scary with the whole tie dye colors going on. The place is small and I stopped by during the week it wasn't crowded but still people coming and going. So of course I order the Biscuits & Gravy, with 2 eggs over easy. I have to admit it was delicious and yes I would recommend this place. It sit right off the beach so come early set your tent and chairs up and then walk over and have breakfast. Then you will be ready to lay on the beach. read more

Great food and great service! Would 100% recommend! The Sway Bar makes a great place to grab lunch and a drink!

This is a great little local spot for breakfast, burger or cocktail. The food is fresh and good. The service is very friendly. It may fill up quick and you may find that they've run out of items, but that is a good sign since you know the food is moving through. Definitely give it a try the next time you're driving down the beach for a bite to eat. They are right across the street from the ocean and even have a nice rooftop deck to enjoy a beach view! Great little place. read more

Stumbled accross this place on Rt 12. Dan, who took our order, was very attentive. Breakfast came up fast and was good. Eat inside, front porch, or out back. read more

I don't know what happened but this year's trip to Art's Place may be our last. Our order was takeout, the wait was twenty minutes and we were told that we would receive a text when it was ready. After half an hour, we went in and were informed that it had been sitting there. Got it home and the bun was compressed and soggy. The burger was pink. Not that grayish pink but a true pink. Both burgers in the order were in the same condition. Inedible unless you wanted to risk getting sick from it. A waste of money as most off the burger had to be pitched. read more

Great southwest omelet, Inside and outside seating This was an interesting breakfast stop that lead to a great tasting omelet. The southwest omelet had a decent amount of spice, plus good ingredients including sausage, onions, peppers, and pepper jack cheese. I also tried the pancakes but found them to be a bit flat, not fluffy. They were tasty enough. The restaurant is very cozy, much like a corner bar space with tables for breakfast dinning but the bar is used for breakfast as well. Inside is rather noisy when busy but there are outside spaces, covered and elevated that provide for an number of dining options. We chose inside at the bar but in the back with the shade would have been a quieter choice. read more

Art’s Place - Southwest Omelet - American Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

Came here during off season (Sun 3/26) and was very happy with this spot. Breakfast was delicious. The omelette, biscuits, and pancakes were delicious. The highlight of this experience for me though was the staff. They managed being short staffed on a busy day phenomenally. The kitchen busted out the food while a tall young guy was playing all positions. He was hosting, waiting, and helped expedite the food and service beautifully. I appreciated the hard work and tasty food! read more

Husband and I made this our last stop on the way back home leaving the beach and were so glad we did! We had our dogs with us and Daniel was so accommodating! One of the cooks even snuck them a piece of bacon. The food was equally as good as the service and atmosphere - the cheese grits were indeed life changing. Bacon cooked perfect (extra crispy, but not burnt ) & the biscuits and gravy YUM! Omelette packed full! We met the manager Dani who was just the sweetest & cannot wait to come back to try the burgers and live music! read more

I go every year. Burgers are best in area and probably the state. View on the top floor is great. Staff is cool.

Incredible, delicious, nutritious-ish feasts at Art's! Laura, Adriana, MaryClaire and crew are serving up memorable grits and charm. I came with an empty belly and rippling delirium and left cheery, refreshed and fortified for a day roaming around the OBX. Ordered corned beef hash with two luscious fried eggs and a combo smack down of grits and home fries! Coffee and grape fruit flowing like a raging river. I've sampled all the pretentious greasy spoons in San Francisco and this totally takes the gritty cake. Highly recommended!! read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I can't even rate the food since the hostess was completely short rude and put her back to me when I told her we had a party of 6 and she said we are almost at lunch time so no we can't take you and put her back to me. Who does that? The least she could do is talk to me like a human. read more

A new favorite! Tried Art's one evening and we all loved it! Perfect place to sit outside, enjoy a quality burger and fries, a strong drink, while enjoying the ocean views. Got there at 5 and were seated immediately, by 5:30 there was a line. Desiree was our waitress and she was super pleasant and kind to our daughter. Even the hostess who sat us was friendly. They were running short staffed but we never noticed. Definitely will be back and hope to stop by for breakfast next year! Burgers were juicy, made to order, and fresh. Homemade fries were good.. but the sweet potato fries were even better!! read more

I understand that hours can vary because it is mid March. But a successful business can also depend on updating its website to reflect accurate business hours. It's extremely frustrating to show up and no one be there. read more

This was the best burger I've ever had. There was a lot of stairs to walk up to the bar, but WORTH IT!! The bar staff is very attentive and friendly! The food was cooked quickly as well. If you're staying on N. Virginia dare trail, you HAVE to come here. read more

Staff is so friendly and food is so good. The food was made fast and was so good. You get to watch them make it if you sit at the bar.

One of the best burgers I've had. The people are really nice and the service was perfect. Had the Five Alarm burger (highly recommend) and the passion fruit margarita, which was a little pricey but for how strong it was very worth it. Definitely coming back every time I visit. read more

Literally one of the best places to eat on the beach. Simple tasty food. Great portions. Great prices. Huge burgers. Fun staff. Great atmosphere. The Kitty Hawk Crush was simply amazing! Our waitress was Beverly, and she was very personable and she was phenomenal. I would give a 10 out of 10 if possible!! read more

Our favorite spot in Kitty Hawk - visited 3 times during our one week vacation. Twice to eat (with the kids) - food was very good. Chicken wings are huge! Once just the two of us at the upstairs bar - nice view of the ocean (though it can be windy). read more

Stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. Place was pretty busy but that always a good sign, we're seated in about 20 minutes. The food was all great I got the burger of the month which was a Gouda burger with caramelized onions and it was fantastic!! Our waiter also did an amazing job!! read more

Stopped in for lunch today; looking for something quick with a local flair - this is it! We both ordered burgers, and while he said he would've been just as happy at Red Robin, my mouth was watering all over the Blues Burger in front of me. The salty funk of the blue cheese crumbles played off the sweetness from the balsamic reduction and spinach in place of lettuce really set off a delicious, hand formed patty cooked medium by standard. Funky beachfront decor and a local vibe FTW. read more

I would call this place a hidden gem, but with 112 5 star reviews, I don't think "hidden" is the right word. But a gem it is! We decided to go for breakfast on our last morning in OBX. At 9am the place was packed! To be fair, that isn't saying much. Art's Place is very small which only lends to its appeal. When we go back, we will definitely try to get there earlier. We put our name in for a table (30 min wait) but were fortunate to have 4 seats open at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and had our coffees and juices within a few minutes of us being seated. For the food, I ordered 2 Pancakes and a Breakfast Biscuit with 2 scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato, and swiss cheese. My fiancé ordered the Monte Cristo Sandwich. Let me just say, I am so glad that Art's Place is not located down the street from my house because I would spend much too much money and gain much too much weight eating at Art's every day. Theirs was some of the best breakfast I have ever eaten! The pancakes: Perfectly buttery and fluffy and served with a syrup with just enough sweetness. The Breakfast Biscuit: Definitely the star of the show. The biscuit was buttery and so fresh and flakey it started to fall apart as I lifted it off the plate. The eggs were fresh and fluffy and the bacon was crisp and flavorful. I would order this again without a second thought. According to my fiancée, the Monte Cristo was perfect. If you are in OBX, this is a MUST! Do not let its size fool you! And if you enjoy watching the magic that happens on the grill, grab a seat at the bar where you can watch the two cooks doing what they do best: making delicious food. read more
