    Bloody Mary

    We went for Sunday brunch based on a couple of suggestions and are happy we did! The house made bananas foster syrup - holy smokes - 10/10. She crab soup was really good. The tuna tartare tacos were good - the tuna had a lot of marinade on them - which made them a little wet, but also gave great flavor. The grits were good too! We sat at the bar - easier since there were just two of us - rather than waiting for a table. The bartenders are on it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The later it gets, the divier it gets - but I'm good with that![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Steak House Burger and Fries

    Very good service. Got the Steak House Burger and it was very good. Price was not bad compared to places nearby as well.

    Delicious! Food came out very quickly and our service was excellent. They also have a super cool outdoor patio.

    The decor beautiful, food amazing, owner awesome, waitress was rude. They where understaffed but so was many other places now due to people not wanting to work... but we tried holding a conversation with her and she had attitude the whole time. She never asked if we where okay and her over all sass when we asked question really did mess with the experience. If we where basing this visit on our waitress it would have been one star, but due to the owner killing with customer services and the food was amazing; making this restaurant in my opinion a 3. Now to a brighter note the crab cake was good nothing extraordinary or memorable but the rice was excellent and creamy with steamed veggies. The crab dip by far 100% makes this place, just wish we had a few more chips ended up having to eat with a spoon but still! We ate it before we got a pic... (sorry) Beast burger I got mine well done due to personal reason but the taste of the meat was well rounded and you could tell it was worth a try. And the season fries just like any.

    Service was good, the staff was friendly. Variety of sauces you can try on everything. Food is good, but nothing amazing.

    Dive bar vibe, but with a full kitchen. The staff is friendly and service was fast. The food was tasty, but nothing special. There were a million flies in the dining room, so it made it difficult to enjoy everything with the constant shooing.

    Chilli peppers is fun! They had really good service. And parking is easy!! However I would not recommend the crab cake, it is a little dense.

    Ordered takeout here on our first night in the OBX. Upon arrival, we learned that their ordering…read moresystem was down so they never received our order. That said, they were very apologetic and offered us free drinks while we waited for them to prepare our new order. I will say, it was worth the wait! This was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The empanada were to die for, as were the fish tacos, chicken tacos, and carne asada! We loved this food so much, we ordered it again before leaving the beach. Will definitely be returning on our next trip!

    We went on a Monday evening and were greeted immediately as well as seated immediately…read more The young lady that waited on us was extremely nice and offered suggestions when we asked. The chips and salsa they gave as soon as we sat were very good. We ordered extra salsa :) The margarita I had was very good big enough for two people. The food was amazing so full of flavor and cooked beautifully. I had chicken fajitas Gould easily feed 3people! The fresh guacamole was perfect so yummy. My hubby had 2 chimichangas with rice and beans also exceptional. We were so full we basically rolled out of there! Portion sizes are huge and the rices are reasonable. You can't go out for under $100 anymore. I was shocked and how small the bill was. Of course we tip very well. This is going to be a family go to once we move there full time!!! Do yourself a favor and check k it out.

I guess the Rockfish tacos were a daily special, so I ordered the "World Famous" Mahi tacos while Ms T ordered a crabcake sandwich. I think we were both a little disappointed. Her sandwich was definitely for bun lovers. She tore off enough bread for another sandwich and still had plenty. Restaurants are often guilty of conflating a huge bun with good sandwich. She was not particularly impressed with the crab cake, saying it was overloaded with thyme. I ordered my Mahi "blackened" and it really was not. The seasonings were good although also heavy with thyme. The flour tortillas were of poor quality, very thin and leathery and not provided hot. Hence the tacos were room temperature when eaten. I liked the finely shredded cheese that was not served refrigerator cold. The white sauce they serve is just wrong for these tacos. It is too sweet, too tart, making it harsh. Instead, I used the sauce that came with her crab cake and that was much better. Finally the mahi was very dry. I guess that is kind of the way that mahi is, but this really needed plenty of sauce. Kudos to them for serving good jasmine rice. This was not as good as we remembered. It is OK, not great and could be improved with just a few changes. We should have tried the burgers.

We showed up around 3:00 on a rainy Thursday and were seated immediately, which was much appreciated. We did end up in what was probably the least comfortable booth in the restaurant. I'm sure you guys know the one... It was a tight squeeze for my husband, my daughter, and me, but I'd still take that over waiting in the rain. My husband's crab legs were exactly what he was hoping for, and my crab cake sandwich was delicious. The surprise star of the meal, though, was my daughter's grilled cheese. We somehow ended up on an unofficial "grilled cheese tour" of the Outer Banks, and Tortugas' Lie set the bar at about a 15/10. Every grilled cheese we had after that was chasing first place. The only real tragedy of the visit? My husband accidentally left the bottle of their hot sauce at our Airbnb. Now I'm weighing the cost of ordering another bottle online against the cost of replacing my husband. Jury's still out. If you've never been, put it on your OBX list. It's one of those places we make a point to visit every trip.

If you have to wait, there's a cool little bar outside in the back where you can order from theimited food/drink menu. There's also 2 sand volleyball courts where some serious (and not serious v-ball is played). Our 6th grade daughter is trying to get on her school volleyball team, so we brought her here to get some training with a local volleyball coach who happened to be here giving lessons. Our dogs, my wife and I just chilled out, drinking beer and mixed drinks while our daughter got some good work in for just $15 per hour. Win-win.
