    I say one of the best restaurants in Cape Hatteras. Great friendly service, good views of the New Atlantic . The food was fresh and delicious. Locally sourced seafood daily is the specials. Good Winds is definitely a place to try out if in the area.

    Food came out quickly, was very flavorful, although I would say a little more seasoning with the pasta dishes would go far! Service was friendly and quick, very happy with our wait staff! A very popular spot for dinner time as the sunset view was worth waiting for an outdoor table! Get there early if you want to secure a seat out on the patio!

    Worst food ever!! The touted clam artichoke dip was horrible. Chicken wings were like they were boiled not fried. Flounder poboy was fishy and gross. The "Bodie special" was awful- literally the worst meal we have had on the OBX. Our waiter was terrific- the view was great- but seriously- do n not waste your time and money. Seriously gross--

    Had a great Sunday brunch at Good Winds today. As always the views are amazing and the staff was awesome. As an added bonus there was music today. The management has done amazing things over the past few years.

    View of the kite surfers was entertaining on a cold/foggy day.

    We loved this water side grill! Tuna bites were fantastic! We enjoyed the burger. We enjoyed sitting outside at the picnic table.

    Food is good, but if you are looking for good seafood there are much better options in this area.

Neither one was worth the money. Everything is expensive anymore when you eat out, I don't mind paying if the food is good. The soup had no signs of fish or seafood in either serving. It tasted like a spicy vegetable soup. It was good but no fish and not worth $9. The Quinoa bowl was average, tomatoes were spongy and tasteless and 3-4 pearl mozzarella balls. How is that $19? Very disappointing. I gave 1 star for our wine and our waitress Emily did an awesome job. She was prompt and took care of all the tables in the dining room. She did a fantastic job ensuring we had everything we needed. It wasn't her fault for the food. We are both locals and wanted a girl lunch, and appreciate the challenges restaurants face. Trio is always busy So not sure why today's food was so poor. I still bought wine at the store, again great shop.

This tiki bar, which opened its doors in June of 2024, has quickly become a hotspot in the area. During the weekends, the bar is buzzing with excitement and is always packed with people eagerly waiting to check in. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, creating the perfect setting for a fun night out. I had the pleasure of trying their margaritas, and I must say, they were truly exceptional. The bartender at Duck Dive Bar really knows their craft and made some of the best margaritas I've ever had. They were perfectly balanced and simply delicious. One unique aspect of Duck Dive Bar is their Friday morning yoga sessions. For just $20, you can participate in a yoga class that includes a drink afterwards. It's a great way to start your day and unwind in a beautiful setting. I also appreciated that they had mocktails available for kids, making it a family-friendly establishment. The kids seemed to enjoy their drinks just as much as the adults enjoyed their cocktails. Overall, my experience at Duck Dive Bar was fantastic. From the lively atmosphere to the delicious drinks and friendly staff, it's a must-visit spot in Duck, NC. I highly recommend stopping by Duck Dive Bar for a great time with friends and family. Free parking lot.
