Had the scallops, they were very delicious. Also had the coconut shrimp appetizer. Great atmosphere, we sat outside. Great service.

This was a delicious breakfast place to eat! I'm not into seafood that much and they still have some normal foods. I recommend the barbecue sandwich, which comes with fish and chips (or fries) and potato salad! I also tried some hush puppies which were absolutely delectable. My mother and brother shared the seafood pot, looked super good and great for seafood lovers! They also have a live band at 6:30 and the staff is great we were served by a wonderful girl named Lexi, great staff here. The place is also very clean and there's lots of things to do. Like play pool, Jenga, darts, listen to live music and use hoola hoops. The decor is also very stunning, and really nice at night. read more

My husband and I were starving when we got to Duck so when my parents headed to the realty to wait for our house keys, we detoured here. I saw it had good reviews but I didn't know until we were seated it was featured on triple D. I'm a huge Food Network fan so then I was really pumped. I got the lobster roll and my husband got the fish and chips. The lobster roll was SO REFRESHING. A lot of places will smother the lobster in mayo and spices and take away from the seafood taste itself but not here. The chunks of lobster were huge and it was tossed in a light, clear sauce instead of mayo overload. I got the potato salad with it and it was also unique as far as potato salads go. Big chunks of potato but also extremely creamy at the same time. How? I don't know, but I approve. My husband's fish was deep fried and light at the same time. Again, how? I don't know, but I seriously approve. We also tried two of the blonde draft beers they had featured and they were the perfect beach beers. My whole family wanted to go back one night and try the seafood boil buckets, which several tables had around us when we went for lunch, but we never made it back all together. My parents went for dinner one night and my mom raved about the lobster tail, so add that to the list of things Cravings does very well. Cute cork decor throughout and a big beige Tarp roof over the patio for same shade on hot days. Loved this place! read more

SO GOOD! "these days" there is no inside service, but we walked up & ordered breakfast & sat outside... Huevos rancheros that will keep me full until dinner & my wife had an egg, bacon & cheese sammie that she said was perfect... bacon crispy! Can't wait to go back some time for dinner! read more

Great outdoor area! Food was delicious & everything individually packed in Togo containers! All servers/staff were masked! Perfect place for kids! read more

Fabulous food !!! We took our two dogs there and our waitress was great first thing brought a bowl of water for the dogs. We are only in town a couple more days but are definitely going back before we leave. Our waitress Sophia was the best I would recommend asking for her if you go read more

Odd setup here, as it shares its space with a gas station/mini-mart. Still quite spacious surprisingly with half a dozen tables out front and a dozen or more inside. Small bar area to seat 10, I believe. The nice decor makes you feel a bit isolated from the gas station, but as much as I enjoy watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, they are very proud of the fact that Guy slipped this place into his visit. Crab cake sandwich was very, very good. The fish tacos (fried fish) was also very fresh and super tasty. Did not disappoint. My kiddo enjoyed the chicken fingers enough...they are what they are. Very reasonable pricing and service was friendly too. Thanks for the suggestion Yelp. read more

This place hit the spot for us Ohioans who crave good seafood. My fiance and I came here on our last day of vacation back in August and we were happy to find two open seats at the bar around 7pm. Score! This place is located next to a gas station, at first we thought we had the wrong place but realized when walking up that it has no correlation to the gas station. The place is smaller in size so if you come with a larger group you may have to wait awhile. They have a decent beer list that actually has beers from North Carolina (a lot of places we visited didn't have this option). They had a platter special while we were there that included mahi mahi, scallops and lobster tail and came with two sides for $30!! Being from Ohio if we were to get that platter it would be near or over $50! We ordered the platter and the steamed crab legs and split our meals. Not getting to eat crab legs very often I probably butched the legs but I made damn sure I got ALL the meat out. This meal really hit the spot for us. read more

Don't let the proximity to the gas station fool you. Classy ambiance and chef worthy food. It was featured on the Food Network on a Guy F episode. I had the fish tacos and my partner had the crab cake sandwich both were amazing and fresh. For starters we had fried green tomatoes that didn't disappoint. The service was quick and friendly. Huge TVs at the bar are great for solo diners. read more

We had breakfast here, not seafood/dinner. Breakfast was 4/5 it is equivalent to your local diner, fast cook time with good taste. The hash-browns are basically home fries, the seasoning is great. Service was great. Vibes were good. Neat little place! read more

This place is very overpriced for what you get. Right now you can only do take out because of covid. We tried this place because it was one of the few open on Monday. The food was okay but nothing special. The staff was extremely friendly though. read more

We stopped here for lunch and loved it so much we came back for dinner the next day. Had the pickle brined chicken sandwich for lunch - awesome! We also had the crab cakes, wontons, fish tacos and even the tenderloin steak. Everything was delicious. Our waitress was super accommodating. We arrived at about 4:45 the second night and the menu switched from lunch to dinner at 5:00. She let us order apps off of the lunch menu and then dinner from the dinner menu. Bartender was great too, making my wife's drink to order. It's not much go look at from the outside - it's attached to a gas station - but it's a real diamond in the rough. Don't miss out. read more

Good food, but get yo shit together. We called 2 min beforehand to make sure they were serving until 9pm and there was no wait. We park and walk up, apparently there is a wait and we can't even get a drink while we wait. There's nowhere to sit, no benches, no chairs and we can't even have a beverage while we wait in the hot ass parking lot. WTF. I had to stealthily sneak over to the bar and order drinks and find a nearby high top not being used. My husband sneaks in and we wait 15 min for a table. We finally get seated and wait another 15 min. NO SERVICE. I finally go ask the hostess if we can please order food before the kitchen closes. She sends a server over and we finally get to order food. We felt rushed and neglected. Just because it's COVID it doesn't mean you have an excuse for shitty service. The musics was freaking fabulous. That's the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars. read more

Saw a review that said best crab cakes in the area and they did not disappoint! Probably top two crab cakes of all time! FGTs were delicious and the coconut crusted shrimp. This place will become an annual tradition for us! read more

My husband, two friends and I are here visiting for the week and decided to stop in for a quick bite to eat. We are so glad we did! The food was delicious.

We were not disappointed and will most definitely be back next year! read more

We are there because our son saw a special featuring this restaurant on tv..... but we were very disappointed as the food was in no way worthy of any tv reviews, rather, very bland! I'm sure they had good food just for the tv show, but for us beech goers... read more

We did breakfast here on a Friday morning. No one else was around so we had our pick of tables on the patio. Food: I ordered the Mark's Big Breakfast and a biscuit to go with it. I asked for the biscuit to be grilled if possible, and they said it was toasted, but it was just a warm biscuit. The Sausage in it seemed like the frozen type, not bad, just not what I was expecting with the other places around. The pancake was the best part of the meal. Was slightly sweetened, didn't need any butter or anything with it. Service: Very good and attentive. We were the only ones there so service was quick. Price: Overall, not bad for the area and for what we ordered. I wouldn't call it a deal but I would call it a fair price for our portions and food. Decor: I know it's attached to a gas station but its actually a cute patio. They also have this backyard area that must be really nice in the summers with live music. Notable Extras: Nothing to note read more

For the price point, this food couldn't have been better. With a smaller serving area, the staff is able to cater to their guests and ensure the food arrives quickly. Don't let the swiftness of the food delivery fool you, the recipes and combinations are just as delicious as they are timely, and the cheesecake is incredible. I definitely would visit again! read more

Cute spot. Good pancakes (touch of vanilla was perfect)! Fed three hungry teenagers and their father for under $70. A deal!

Great place for lunch. The tomato motz was great. My wife had a Jamaica chicken salad wrap which was excellent. A hidden gem.

Knocking it back a star! The food is still wonderful but the place is so loud and managed on a wing and a prayer. Granted, we had a big party, 7 adults and 6 kids. They elected to place the 6 at a single table and split up the adults, 3 and 4. We are a group on vacation and all together all week. Frankly, speaking to us about the seating before would have been a much easier pill to swallow instead of popping this upon us, leaving us to try to work it out. Not great when all is busy - we had a 30 minute wait (ok by our standards) so they had time to figure it out. Our apps were calamari (2/5), muscles (absolutely sublime sauce)(5/5), crab dip(3/5), and duck won-tons(3/5). Entree's included filet mignon(3/5), lobster fettuccini(4/5), shrimp and grits(4/5), scallops(3/5), skewered shrimp(4/5). The food was well prepared (a bit sloppy in their haste)but simply they have an issue managing the throngs if hungry vacationers. My steak (ordered rare) came medium. Our waiter, Gregg was on this like crazy, swapping out the steak. The guy busted his butt despite the thronging rush of sunburnt easterners. Dare i say they take reservations? Hey Guy Fierre, maybe a surprise inspection is in order? read more

I let 4 people in front of me to enter because I just wanted to see the menu, they were approached right away & seated. Meanwhile I was standing there as if I was invisible or something & was finally asked if I needed help... when I asked for the menu, the lady said "yes here's one" as she goes to the table that's 2 feet behind her & taps at the menu on the table. Does she grab it to hand it to me? Nope LOL. She walked back to the front & stares at the iPad or whatever. I had to walk around past her table then walk all the way to that back table just to pick up the menu. Not understanding why she couldn't just hand it to me? I walked outside with the menu kinda annoyed at the ignorance, took a breath & decided not to spend my money here even though the food sounded great. I was actually really excited to try this place. Went back inside to drop off the menu & not even a "have a good day" as I was leaving the door while a couple workers were standing there "working". Awesome I love it here already. Couldn't tell if I was getting racey vibes or what??? Thanks but no thanks. read more

I wanted to try Cravings because I saw that the scallops dish was featured on Food Network's Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. It was expensive, but it is seafood at the beach, so that's to be expected. The dish was delicious! read more

Stopped here for a quick bite before heading to grab groceries for our rented beach house. I finally was able to try a lobster roll for the first time. It was AMAZING. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his barbecue sandwich. My mom had the crab cake sandwich, and she thought it was delicious. My son ordered the fish sticks off the kids menu, and he devoured them. We absolutely loved this place! We will definitely be back this week. read more

Wonderful spot to hang outdoors in the fall, spring and summer. The bartenders, waiter's and waitress's seem to be pretty attentive. The food is really good, but they really do have a limited menu. That's not a terrible thing in some cases, it's uncomplicated, but having some new and fresh items from time to time would be fun too. Also this is completely subjective, but the musicians and the type of music leaves a little something to be desired. It's one of the only places that books live bands in Duck, so you're choices are limited, but there have been nights where we had to leave because the "talent" were migraine inducing. Not always, but enough to lose one star from me. read more

Our group ordered take out today and it was wonderful. The burgers were thick, juicy, and flavorful. Matchbox fries were a hit. My SIL had the pulled pork and said it was really good. A young man took our order at the drive thru window. Customer service was wonderful and helpful. I have celiac disease and he assured me that the fries would be safe for me to eat. Their gluten free buns are delicious also! -Great safe gluten free options. -Friendly service -Delicious!!! read more

Wonderful experience dining in the house of craving. Perfect spot anytime in Duck. Fill your belly full of delight.

Definitely recommend the pickup option if you have a large group. Our Friday night large to go order submitted at 4:45 was ready in 25 minutes! read more

Came here for breakfast during off season and it wasn't packed at all. This place is attached to the BP station just off the main road. Look carefully or else you might miss it. I ordered their breakfast special with sausage, grits, and scrambled eggs. My breakfast was similar with something you would get from IHOP or Waffle House. My eggs were overcooked. It looked more like a folded pocket. My sausage patties were overcooked as well? I say that bc the edges were hard and dry like something I would microwave at home. One thing I will rave about is their hush puppies. They came out hot and delicious!! So maybe this place is better for lunch or dinner but I would pass on breakfast. read more

Good breakfast spot in Duck. Not many places are open for breakfast this time of the year.

Always our first stop when visiting, and usually our last too. Hard to deviate from what we know . Thick delicious lump crabmeat crab cake on a soft brioche bun . Tasty hush puppies to start your meal. Service is always awesome , cold beer and cocktails to please all, and just a great way to start your vacation in Corolla . Saw it on Diners , Drive ins and Dives years ago and we have been coming ever since . read more

Great service, friendly staff, bacon egg and cheese biscuits are AMAZING and the harsh browns were good too

We were able to walk here from our rental, which was really nice. The hostess greeted us and we were informed that the waitstaff was a little behind so we would need to wait a bit. After that, we were seated outside - it was an overcast day and they had the fans on. Husband and I both ordered Mark's Big Breakfast (we just chose different options). The bacon was yummy and the pancake had a crispy edge. Great dinner food taste. I would come back. read more
