The bartender was friendly and the other guests shared this is a favorite local spot. Apparently, there is no cocktail menu so I just ordered a mimosa. I ordered the French toast and a pineapple mimosa. Omg, the French toast was so flavorful. A photographer came around and snapped photos of us for purchase. A cute touch. I can't wait to go back when I'm in the area.

As you would expect in the summer, place was packed with a good waiting line but we opted for the bar area seating and sat immediately. Although there was only one server/ bar tender in this section you could tell she was a pro----great job for all the tables and bar seating. Would highly recommend seats here if there's a crowd and you prefer not to wait. Great NC themed OBX interior and decor. Ample parking, which is hard to find during the summer in the OBX. We ordered couple different meals--- for me, tried the buttermilk pancakes and they hit the spot.....good sized and cooked perfect! Wife had the southwest omelette with grits and a biscuit.....biscuit was HUGE and the grits were tasty. Omelette on the larger side and didn't disappoint. Highly recommend a stop here during your OBX trip!

Breakfast at grits grill was the perfect way to start off our morning.

On our first visit, I had the Belgian waffle with Chocolate Monkey toppings, my husband had the French toast with the same topping, and we both added bacon. Everything was delicious, and the staff were extraordinarily friendly, upbeat, and attentive. There was no wait when we arrived, but the restaurant filled up quickly. I also loved the atmosphere, especially all the fun quotes covering the walls. They gave us something entertaining to read while we waited for our food. The ordering process is unique: you grab a tray, choose your food and drinks, order at the cashier, seat yourself, and they bring your food to the table. We came back a second time, and I ordered the Gyro Omelette with hash browns, substituting French toast for the toast for a small upcharge. Sweet and savory all on one plate...and yes, I ate every bite! My husband couldn't resist ordering the French toast again. Definitely a must-visit for breakfast in the OBX, but be sure to get there before 8 am or the line will be out the door.

We went outside to eat and there was a grassy area with string lights, picnic tables, and an oversized connect four game. It was beautiful.

There's plenty of free parking in the lots around the place. There's also plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance can be described as cute and casual. There's a couch with a fun neon sign background that's good for pictures. The service is good, we got our smoothies relatively quickly. They were a bit expensive for the area, but were delicious. The hatteras sunset was a bit tangy and the spot-tastic was a good strawberry banana smoothie. This place definitely hits the spot after a day at the beach. I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a healthy, fresh pick me up while in OBX.

IN REPLY TO OWNER SINCE I AM UNABLE TO REPLY TO RESPONSE - our heads were down as we were absolutely embarrassed the OWNER of an establishment came out the way you did. YOUR staff came up to us multiple times after the fact to apologize for how YOU were and that you were always that way to customers but how intimidated they were by you so they didn't want to say anything. He pulled the waitresses aside to apologize for any convenience he may have caused them, letting them know they were wonderful but YOU were the problem. adding to the waitresses stated how he wasn't rude & quote from our waitresses from quote said "if i knew she was going to be that way to y'all, i would've never said anything." your replies are very telling on you as a person - learn customer service if you are going to try to run a successful business!

We started with the Brussels sprouts and pork belly special, and they were insanely good: crispy, savory, and easily one of the highlights of the meal.

The flounder was perfectly cooked, the lump crab was incredible, and the whole plate just worked. Wow, wow, WOW. Amazing way to kick off our Outer Banks trip. Between the food and that sunset, Miller's absolutely delivered!
