Amazing Burgers and Sandwiches, stop in bc they were voted best Burger on the beach ! They were delicious I had the 5 alarm and my wife had the Western they were both really good plus the hand cut fries too sooo good. We will be back next year for sure read more

Really great service. We went for lunch and it was delicious. If you come you have to get a burger from this place. I was going to get a wrap but chose the burger instead and was not disappointed. They have a small seating area inside and more seating outside but no service outside. read more

It's a small place for breakfast without many tables, but with a party of 6 we only had to wait for about 15 minutes at 9 am-ish on a weekday. We really enjoyed our breakfast. The staff was great and the prices were fair. Nice job! read more

Burgers and chicken sandwiches with friends. Sat outside for a few minutes before we got a table inside. Place filled up fast around six or so as the food was terrific and jazz trio played in background. Servers were friendly and extremely kind and efficient. Sweet potato fries were awesome. Wish the outside and upstairs were operational because it's obvious they put a lot of money and thought into making arts a great place but I get the impression help is hard to come by but this place never disappoints. read more

Great breakfast stop! Seating inside and outside and even though it's not a large restaurant, the staff is so nice and so efficient that the wait isn't long. We go the sausage gravy, bacon, and French toast and everything was delicious. Bacon crispy and seasoned or just great flavor, fluffy homemade biscuits, and the freshest fruit I've ever had. Will definitely come back! read more

We sat on the front porch on a beautiful sunny morning enjoying the view of the ocean and had a yummy breakfast. Friendly staff, attentive service & fun place to be. read more

The food, the drinks, the service....amazing! You must try this hidden gem - we loved it!

We've been coming here for over 30 years and never noticed Art's Place before. Appearances can be deceiving. The food is delicious, the service fast and friendly. The pimento burger is amazing. read more

Never a bad meal! We went for a late lunch...so glad we came. On obx, sometimes you just need some meat...great place for burgers. My father ordered the prime rib sandwich and he loved it. My husband and I shared the blue burger and fire alarm burger. My mom ordered the western burger. Everything was perfect and delicious! As far as Covid, we sat outside and my husband ordered the food indoors...it was like takeout. Go around 2pm, less crowded. read more

Omg Art's is awesome! I'm on vacation and a few locals told me how Art's had the best burgers and also had a great breakfast. Tonight, decided to try Art's and oh my God, I had one of the best burgers I ever had!! I got a burger with cheddar cheese, mushrooms, tomato and onion. It was grilled perfectly and the potato roll complicated the burger very well. It came with fries and they were awesome too. They cut fresh potatoes and the taste proves it! If you're craving a burger, hit up Art's! You won't be disappointed. read more

Hubby and I popped in for a mid afternoon snack. We shared wings and fries. You know, the food is good (beach bar stuff) but we just love this place because of the convivial atmosphere, the upstairs sway deck and the back grassy area where the kiddies can play and hang out. Lindsey our serve was just so cool, efficient and took great care of our puppy dog (very dog friendly). Arts is just a staple in KittyHawk and a great place to hang out and have some drinks. Thank you Lindsey and Arts Place! This is our second year in Kitty Hawk and we just love the vibe read more

Had the blues burger (added bacon) and fries and a Bloody Mary. Excellent drink. Burger was perfectly cooked medium, juicy, loads of flavor. Lightly cooked red onions added sweetness. Fries look like they'd be soggy but weren't at all. They were crispy and delicious! All three of us cleaned our plates and are eagerly looking forward to going back. read more

The fries, ranch, tea were all great. Main reason we went is we seen this place had the best burgers in the area. I'm our opinion, they weren't that great. Full of grease and little flavor of the burger itself. The service was great though. The waitress was wonderful. We would come back to try something else but not a fan of the burgers. read more

The atmosphere is great. The service was average considering the lack of help. Drinks were delicious. Good is another story. The three different sandwiches we ordered lack flavor and were cold. Crab cake was very mushy. This place is a great place to hangout and have some drinks outside seating is very nice I would definitely go back and give it a second chance. read more

The manager made us feel very welcome. They prepared our burgers just the way we asked for...the bathroom was very clean with double ply toilet paper! Atmosphere was like being at home!!!! read more

Wish we found this place sooner! Stopped for brunch on our last day and really wish we had known about it the whole trip-would have definitely visited for several meals! We had the egg breakfast with grits and bacon,and the biscuits and gravy with a side of hash. Everything was delicious! Service was fast and friendly! Will 100% be back on our next visit to Kitty Hawk read more

The is a staple in the upper Outer Banks. The burgers are second to none and the atmosphere is truly relaxed like the beaches of Kitty Hawk a d Kill Devil Hills. Did I say the burgers are incredible! However, be wary of the line cook cleanliness. More than once have we seen the cook be spoken to regarding not wiping his nose, ears, eyes, or other body parts with his gloves on and then then touch food on the grill. Kind of gross, when laying to eat that. Also, there are cokjs there whose pants are below their bums, so you stare at the their bum and their underwear while eating. And this is the guy who cooked your food. So be wary and eyeful. The burgers are great, but I hope they are not great because of the extra nose and eye cheese that is in them. read more

We read the rave reviews and marked Arts as somewhere we would like to visit on our trip. When we walked in, we were ignored and had to ask if we could take a seat. The waitress was quick to take our order, and after she brought our drinks she never came back to our table. Someone else served our food ( who was very nice), but we had to ask for condiments and silverware after the fact. No one asked if we need a refill or if the food was good or anything. They passed us 200 times back and forth to the back, glanced our way, and completely ignored us. Finally, they dropped the check without a word. The food was really good, but we've never felt so awkward and unwelcome and will never go back. Their website said locals welcome, tourists tolerated ... sometimes. How true and how ridiculous. We walked away with a bizarre experience and rate Art's CRUSTY AND RUDE. read more

Super good fresh breakfast and be sure to drink a Bloody Mary- best one on the beach!

Awesome burgers!!! Great atmosphere! Fast and friendly service. Will definitely come back!!!

This place is on the smaller side but don't let the size fool you. The food is delicious. Daniel is an awesome waiter.

Hilarious staff and delicious food! Such a great location as well, and a beautiful upper deck.

Looking for a satisfying breakfast? Look no further. Arts is the place. Hash and eggs done perfect. Came back for the famous burger. Was not disappointed. Very busy spot but the staff stays upbeat and friendly. read more

Wish I remembered to take a photo of my sausage and biscuit breakfast sandwich to add to this review. The portion was incredibly generous and SO delicious. Sausage was thicc and the biscuit was fluffy and buttery. We also got the homefries - it's ok to skip those. The breakfast sandwich is truly the star. I will definitely be back. read more

Always love this spot but warning, we were a party of 6 tonight and they wouldn't seat us. They said parties of 5 were the max. Understood, their prerogative, just wanted to share to bigger groups. read more

Great burger and home made fries!!! Friendly wait staff! Pleasant atmosphere! Eat inside or out! read more

How is it that I lived in Kill Devil Hills for over 20 years and still have been back and forth regularly for almost another 10 and never made it into Art's Place?!? Dad's response: Traffic. Tourists. Etc. So true. If you're from the Outer Banks, you have to make lots of sacrifices about what you do based upon the invasion from the tourists. Still. Art's Place is open year round! In response to that Mom and Dad just say that we never made it up to that end of the beach as much to eat. Another thing people from out of town might not understand... Plus, there were 5 of us and it's hard to go somewhere small with 3 kids. All is well though. This past Saturday I finally had lunch at Art's Place. Dad's become quite a fan over the past couple of years now that he's been living in Kitty Hawk. That and they have an open mic night on Wednesdays and he loves playing acoustic sets to the intimate crowd there. Art's Place has been around for over 30 years. Since 2008, it's been in the hands of Tammy and her family, also long-time residents of the Banks. Tammy was behind the counter washing dishes and helping out with things while her daughter Laura roamed around the restaurant taking orders and tending to customers' needs. It's a local spot. For the tourists who "don't get it," the intimacy, longevity, and personal care that go into keeping this spot open year around are what make it so special. Most places that stay open year around have really got to deliver something strong and something unique. Art's Place is one of those dives that's been on the beach road and lasted despite storm after storm. Art's Place gets 5 stars simply because it is a true Outer Banks survivor -- storms, tourist seasons, and staying open year after year. Not only that, it's incredibly affordable and good. When we ventured in, it was pretty crowded. The upstairs and side decks are not full service, but you will get some attention there. There is a small front deck and by small, I mean one row of stools with a narrow place to set your food. The dining room is tiny and the bar directly overlooks Tammy washing dishes and the two cooks on the grill from prep to grilling. The two servers ran around minding everything else going on. Local art hangs on the walls, including a surf board suspended from the ceiling near the front windows. Dad goes there for the burgers so I followed his lead and had a Bacon Cheeseburger, but subbed cheddar for American. All fries are hand-cut. The sandwiches/burgers come in a basket with the fries. There are fountain sodas and some basic beer and wine, but nothing fancy so don't fuss. Sure, I love my wine, but Art's Place isn't meant to host Napa Valley taste desires. We did have to wait a little bit for our food, but when it came out, it was really good. And I'm not a big French Fry person. But these were good and I even watched the cook cutting them since they ran out mid-lunch! I tried to come back Sunday morning with Mom for breakfast, but we were too late. They serve breakfast everyday until 11am and the parking lot stays packed so you have to be early and patient. I'd say my only major complaint is the lack of parking because I'm used to waiting at the beach. Art's Place, thanks for the fine introduction. Definitely an establishment I'm proud to see on my hometown glory. read more

Excellent!! Truly great burgers and fries, a delicious Tom Collins flavored with ginger and a decent beer selection. Very nice service too. Highly recommended! Eat here for lunch, then for dinner cross the street to the other star on the corner. That would be a day of complete foodie fulfillment. read more

Horrific service. During our wait there were about 10 tables free and yet they made us wait over a half hour for a table. Don't go here it's going to be a waste of time for you. read more

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast here. Hubby and I ordered omelets which were stuffed and delicious. Biscuits were huge and yummy. Service was quick and friendly. Our server was hustling and did a great job. Other staff were very friendly as well. Got a great hat there too! read more

Wow, this place simply is amazing. It's got everything I look for in a breakfast spot: the homey diner feel, large portions and delicious food. And, we stopped by two days in a row so they're consistent as well in their food! After hearing locals recommend the place, we stopped by for a Saturday brunch. The interior is actually fairly small--it only fits 4-5 tables plus a bar. We had a wait of about 20 minutes before seats opened up at the bar. I never rave about coffee, but even the coffee they served here was phenomenal. I had the breakfast egg biscuit with sausage and cheese on Saturday, and an omelette when we went back on Sunday. The size of that biscuit was nothing to scoff at. I figured a $5 biscuit sandwich wouldn't be enough food, so I ordered home fries and a pancake...bad choice. The biscuit is huge--almost as big as the pancake. It's rather flaky though and a tad bit dry, but the ample amounts of egg and cheese in the sandwich really balanced that texture out. Needless to say, I finished everything because it was all so good and ended up being stuffed until dinnertime. The omelette was delicious too and of course a huge portion. No ingredients that you pick are skimped on in the omelette so be prepared to feast! This is now my must-visit place when I visit the Outer Banks--Art's won't disappoint! read more

Good food! Our party of six tried the pancakes, western omelette, Greek omelette, scrambled eggs with grits, biscuit with gravy, and half order of french toast. Servings were plentiful and everything was delicious. It's a small place and indoor seating is limited but there's lots of outdoor seating. We ate here on a weekday, post Labor Day. Someone mentioned that waits are long on the weekend, so if you can come early or non weekends, you can save having to wait for your food. read more

I got a hamburger well done with ketchup and pickles with fries in the side. And OH MY GOD SO GOOD! The burger was so juicy and the fries were to die for. This was my last day on vacation but man I wish I found this place earlier because I would want to come again. Now I am stuffed after that delicious burger! read more

Divey and delicious! This is a small diner/bar near the beach. We went for breakfast, and weren't disappointed. Good, fresh food, efficient service, reasonably priced. Kudos to Art's! I hope to return on my next visit to the OBX! read more

Looking for a "locals" place? Here it is. Breakfast: amazing. HUGE egg and meat sandwiches. Arts Big Breakfast will feed two and make you drool. Everything is so flavorful! Lunch: voted in the top five places for a burger in the entire state. They live up to the title. They have a variety of burger choices and they're all delicious and large. I hate writing this review because I want this place to be all my own, but I've got to share the wealth. COME HERE!! read more
