Dare I say this is the BEST breakfast I've ever had? The Banks Grill absolutely blew me away!…read more Let's start with their "famous cinnamon rolls." They weren't lying about that title! This has to be one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever tasted. You can choose between cream cheese frosting or pecan praline, and I HIGHLY recommend the praline. Here's a little tip: if you have any of that delicious sauce left over, dip your biscuit in it. Trust me, you can thank me later! Speaking of biscuits, they come with housemade apple or seasonal pumpkin butter, jams, and real butter. Talk about starting your morning off right! Now, let's talk about what I ordered: the Land and Sea Benedict. A large, fluffy, housemade biscuit topped with perfectly seasoned and cooked shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and Creole gravy, served with two eggs cooked to order and finished with bacon bits. Y'all, this breakfast CHANGED MY LIFE. Every bite was incredible, and I was genuinely sad that I couldn't eat more because I was so full. That's how good it was! If you're looking for a small, local cafe serving up absolutely incredible food, look no further. The Banks Grill is the kind of place that reminds you why supporting local businesses is so important. Put this spot on your breakfast bucket list! I promise you won't want to miss it. I'm already dreaming about my next visit!

Bartender Jeremy provided excellent service as well. Drinks were fantastic. I didnt catch anyone else's names but I did not receive bad service from anyone there. These two employees just really stood out. The karaoke DJ also was cool too! I had never been to the outer banks before and I am not sure when I will ever go back but if I do I hope to run into these two again.

While this is a smaller place there is great outdoor seating to compliment what they have inside. Most importantly, the seating outside is located on the west facing side of the building and it is covered----great protection from the early morning sun so you can enjoy an outside breakfast. Came with a group of five, one kid, and there were options for everyone. There is no waiter/waitress service so you view and select options from the menu and place orders at the register---names are called when ready. Everything worked smoothly and quickly even though this place was very busy. Love that all meals are served in biodegradable plates/bowls. The yogurt parfait was a healthy serving of yogurt, bananas, pineapple, and strawberries---2 thumbs up from the 9 year-old! Adults tried various combinations of there platters and everything was great. Highly recommend the hangover potatoes and the sourdough bread, both very unique.

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.

Cute aesthetic, but that's about where it ends…read more Customer service was a solid 1/10. We waited 30-40 minutes for sandwiches! The staff looked completely lost and disorganized. Foot traffic was steady, not packed, easily snagged a table. The food was basic at best, especially for the price. If the owners aren't here, they probably should be--this place is being run into the ground. No breakfast after 10:30 a.m. on a weekend because the bagels were already "put away" at 10:41 a.m. Seriously? You close at 5 p.m.--breakfast all day would make a lot more sense. And can we talk about the fact that it's 2026... where the f is the Wi-Fi? Cute for Instagram, not so much for the actual experience. Hope they figure it out.

So we almost always try…read moreto extend the morning (after checking out of our rental house), by having one last meal out together. This year we had to get on the road even earlier than normal so we needed a place that was close, open early, and accompanied our two little furry kiddos. That meant Mirro's checked all the boxes; opened at 8:00am-check, 2 miles from our house-check, and a lovely covered outside porch that was large enough for our party of 12. While we couldn't all sit at one big table, it still gave each of us time to visit before the long drives/flights home. And the cool breeze keep everyone cool during the meal. Ordering is done at the counter inside. They had multiple registers open to keep the flow moving. When asked for suggestions, the staff quickly pointed out their favorites, while listening to what each person wanted. The food came out quickly, hot, and exactly as ordered. The "silver dollar" pancakes were bigger than expected , which was a nice surprise. Our group tried the classic, the banana, and the chocolate chip options. Not one bite left on the plate. Light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Some others tried the omelets, biscuits w/gravy, and bagel sandies. Everyone finished it all. This menu might not be the most adventurous for some but we found it to be a good solid diner, with friendly staff serving quickly.

The wings themselves were both meaty and juicy, but the sauces ended up lacking. The buffalo sauce tasted like just bottled buffalo sauce and the garlic Parmesan tasted similar, mostly being a one note flavor mess. The eggplant Parmesan was a generic eggplant Parmesan that is only made tasty by the amount of mozzarella on the eggplant. The sauce was watery and had no flavor. The eggplant breading just fell off and was mushy. Tasted like a frozen eggplant parm. Garlic knots had a hard shell surrounding a doughy center. Every bite you can taste the garlic. The knots could use a bit more salt to enhance some of the garlic flavor but these were still good. The pizza is a bit of a mixed bag. While the crust and sauce are a bit generic and underwhelming the toppings and cheese make up for it to make a serviceable pie. Crust was your standard American chain pie with a thick enough crust but lacks any stability or flavor. Sauce is so generic it makes no impact on the pizza. The toppings are plentiful as well as the cheese and they are all of good quality. We had olives, onion, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms and it wasn't too much or too little. The only negative is with all the toppings and cheese, the pizza did get greasy. Overall an above average pizza for a very average looking one. They had no water cups so everyone had to get a soda. They also have a sign saying no bringing water bottles in so there isn't anyway to get water unless you want to purchase a bottle of water. While this pizza isn't top of the line, it will still satisfy your pizza needs.
