The main dining area is a little on the noisy side, but not unreasonable for a large open room. We had a good experience and will definitely be back.

Only nice thing is they had good country music playing! 0/10 would not recommend.

A Hidden Gem Inside 1718 Brewing…read more- Must-Try! Marauder's Kitchen just took over the food space at 1718 Brewing Company, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how fantastic their food is! Yesterday I had the oyster po' boy with coleslaw-perfectly fried oysters, fresh toppings, and a flavorful remoulade that brought it all together. Today I came back for the fish tacos with pineapple and slaw, and they're equally delicious-fresh, light, and full of flavor. The portions are generous, everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the menu pairs perfectly with the beer from 1718. The team was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that laid-back island charm. If you're in Ocracoke --don't miss this place. We'll definitely be back!

Even so, I enjoyed a tasty plate of collards right here at the beginning of July on Friday. I did doctor them up with a generous application of Texas Pete...vinegar + heat. Makes perfect sense if you like it spicy! The plate also had potato salad and ham, with 2 expertly made 1/2 & 1/2 iced teas. If you like collards and you like potato salad and you like ham...then get your rear in gear on some Friday and order up a plate of southern soul food at its best! Did I mention the hush puppies? No? It's cause I ate them all! Don't even need butter! I'm no fan of the corn sticks tho, but I don't like those from anywhere. Can't wait for the first frost later this year! King Chicken offers down home old school friendly no frills service, and while it's not an eat-in restaurant, I don't mind snagging a plate and heading back to the house to give thanks and partake.

We visited on a Wednesday evening around 7pm with a party of three. We ordered two Sapporos, a…read moreshrimp sandwich, an order of Vang rolls, and two garlic noodles. The restaurant was fairly empty, with only three other tables occupied, so we were surprised by the length of the wait. Our two canned Sapporos didn't arrive until about 30 minutes after ordering. The shrimp sandwich took approximately 45 minutes, and the Vang rolls arrived after about an hour. After waiting an hour, we were informed that the garlic shrimp for our garlic noodles was unavailable, despite it being part of our original order. Unfortunately, the Vang rolls were so salty that we couldn't finish them. Throughout the meal, our water glasses were never refilled, and there was little communication about the delays or unavailable menu items. After roughly 90 minutes of waiting, multiple delays, and learning that several items were unavailable, we decided to pay for what we had received the two Sapporos, the shrimp sandwich, and the Vang rolls, which came to about $70. Perhaps we visited on an off night, but the combination of the slow service, poor communication, unavailable menu items, and disappointing food quality made for a frustrating experience. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning. +1 Vibe +0 Taste +0 Presentation +0 Service +0 Value
