This was one of the best service we have ever gotten here in the Outerbanks. Most is lukewarm but over here folks are greeting you from the very first step you go in. The guy who is ringing everyone up was very nice as well. Now let's talk about the biscuits. Biscuits so famous they start coming in hot at 5:30 am. Biscuits so famous that there's always a guaranteed line! Biscuits so famous they have a rather fascinating name accompanying it. It was great especially for breakfast we came back at 7:00 am determined to get some of those biscuits goodness and we got it piping hot and delicious. Prices are affordable and great selection. I love places like this unassuming but delightful! So whenever you are in the Outerbanks. Give them a try! Friendly service and good affordable food!

The hype is legit. These are great biscuits! We picked up to sandwiches, the fried chicken is fresh…read moreand the egg was made right in front of us. We also got a half dozen regular biscuits to go. They were the perfect mix of light and buttery and not too greasy. Next time we will try the blueberry and cheese biscuits and hash browns. Parking can be tricky, so be patient. The line will probably be long but they go fast! Fun souvenir alert. Tons of t shirt and hoodie options along with stickers, cozies, and lighters. Tip: There is indoor seating!

Even though I've got a few Jersey Mike's near home, the only time we ever eat at one is when we're…read moresomewhere in the OBX. Normally it's the location in Nags Head or if we're down south then Morehead City but the JM website said there was a location in Manteo so we made the trip over. Very easy to find in Manteo as the store is right by a laundromat and the old Piggly Wiggly. Not tons of parking, but it was good enough for 7pm on a weeknight. (Note that currently if you just type in Jersey Mike's Manteo on Google, the map pin is in the wrong location. Going through JM's website to a Google Map will equal the correct store location). If you've ever been to a JM's then you know that your place your order, any cold subs are more or less made right away and then for something hot you wait until it's done since everything is made to order. I order a #7 (Turkey & Provolone) and the Old Lady orders a #43 (Chipotle Cheese Steak) with a request to really grill the peppers and onions. My sub is more or less ready within a few minutes. Her sub...not so much. Working backwards, the store had just opened a little more than a week prior and aside from two people working from I assume the Nags Head location, everyone else was new and the tickets/orders were all over the place. Website, phone and in person stuff for hot orders were backed up all over the place with several people hanging out waiting for orders. After about twenty minutes, a member of the staff asked what we were waiting for and realized they gave my wife's sub to someone else picking up a take out order. Whatever. After a few minutes the correct order was fired up and all things were good. No issue with the cleanliness of the store as two members of staff (they had a lot of people working that night) were cleaning things the entire time we were there and no issues with the food quality. Sure, the long wait was a PIA but afterwards there was more apologizing than necessary and all was good.

This was another refresher stop for us while out exploring. After a day of running around we needed…read moreto get a drink before we got a bit hangry. We weren't looking for food, but we definitely needed hydration. Using the app we opted for the drive thru. Placing the order on our way here, was a smart move, we just entered the drive thru line first. Pulled up to the kiosk, told them our order number, and just waited. The wait here was not long. It was quite the easy wait. Pulled around, our drinks were ready as we pulled up. Drinks handed to us, order was correct, and we were on our way. One of the quickest stops at a McDonald's I have ever had. The biggest gripe here was access. Sitting right off the main the drag through the area, it can take some time to get in and out of here. Especially during the season. There is a constant flow of traffic and sometimes it might be easy to just turn right and fight your way back down.

Not sure why this McDonald's has such poor ratings. Although I found only two employees working in…read morethis store, I found the store to be very clean, the orders prepared and delivered quickly, and the two employees to have a very positive and customer oriented attitude. Not sure I would be some joyful considering this is a very busy location. They made it work, and with much hustle, customers seemed very pleased. Food was prepared to order, the accuracy of the order was spot on the several times I was there. Nice to see hard working people make a difference and upholding the company brand!

Why the less 5s in the reviews is beyond. As a former restaurant employee, I am very critical and this place had nothing to criticize except, where's the Pac-Man game?

We liked Olives so much, we dined here twice in the same week…read more I recently visited the Outer Banks for a week with my wife and we stayed in Manteo. Prior to arriving in town, I had made a reservation for dinner at Olives for later in the week. The day we arrived, after we unpacked and settled into our rental, we decided to take a walk to explore as we were staying in town. We happened to walk past Olives and decided to look at the menu - and that made us want to go there that night as we did not make any plans that evening and didn't want to get back in the car. I spoke with someone at the host stand and made a reservation for us. I figured I could cancel the reservation for later in the week after we had dinner. (Spoiler: We decided to keep the other reservation.) The food and the service were both excellent. The first night, I had the tri-tip souvlaki which was a special and my wife had the chicken souvlaki from the regular menu. We started with an order of the dolmas and they might be my new favorite. We both enjoyed our dinner and a nice booth with a view of the marina. We ordered a piece of the baklava to go. The second visit, we started with the hummus appetizer and I had the Keftedes and my wife ordered the gyro. The keftedes was so delicious with the tomato-based sauce. Luckily I had some pita to dip in that sauce. My wife enjoyed the gyro and I enjoyed the bite I got to try. The restaurant has a few greek wines on their menu but not a lot of selection. The restaurant is on the smaller side but they do have a few tables outside in the courtyard which in the nice weather is a good option and helps with capacity. I do recommend having a reservation, though. Everyone of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Topanga for giving us some great tips on places to visit in the OBX.

I left somewhat disappointed after looking forward to what I hoped would be an authentic Greek…read moredining experience. Unfortunately, the restaurant had already sold out of one of its signature dishes, moussaka, even though the owner had enthusiastically recommended it while speaking with us at our table. The suggested substitute, pastitsio, did not meet expectations. The béchamel layer was sparse and lacked the rich, creamy character that defines the dish, and the ziti pasta appeared to have been overcooked (even for a casserole) during reheating of a pre-prepared serving. One aspect of the meal left me puzzled. Why serve Greek rice alongside a dish that already contains plenty of starch? Greek cuisine offers so many wonderful vegetable accompaniments that would have provided better balance and showcased the flavors of the region, including fasolakia, briam, yemista, gigantes plaki, or kolokithakia tiganita. On the positive side, the staff remained attentive throughout our meal, kept our water glasses full, and genuinely tried to accommodate us. However, they did not seem fully familiar with which menu items were available (wait staff need to check the 86 board before and during service!). Several tables offer pleasant views overlooking the park and wharf, which adds to the atmosphere. I also would have enjoyed seeing more of the classic blue-and-white décor that evokes the charm of a seaside taverna in Greece. Overall, the restaurant has potential, but the execution of the food and the dining experience fell short of the expectations created by the menu and the recommendations.

Wow. I really slept on this place over the years. I have wanted to come here for quite awhile, but…read morenever have done so when visiting OBX. This year, I put that sleeping to an end. I woke up...and had a delicious time! The reviews here tell you how great this place is, and well...believe them! I thought for sure it would be over-hyped and not live up to what people write and say, but I will admit to being wrong. First, our server, Krickett, was agreed upon (by my partner and I) to be the best server we have ever had. She was friendly, outgoing, had good recommendations, and an all-around joy. Second, the food! Wow! My partner had a salad...simple enough, right? But no, she was amazed by it. And she is a vegetarian, so she has had a lot of salads over the years. This one blew her away. I had the grilled chicken sandwich. Was it life-changing? No. But it was way better than what a grilled chicken sandwich normally is. It was tender, juicy, with just the right seasoning. I would be a criminal if I didn't mention the bruschetta...get it with the burrata...it is worth it! The crispy bread with balsamic drizzle is good enough with the diced tomato mix, but the cheese gives it a new level. And, I hope you saved room for dessert, because the key lime pie was a mouth explosion.

The restaurant has two distinct dining areas: the front section is first-come first-served bar seating that offers the full menu. The back section, which would be ideal for families, holds about 30 tables, mostly booths, with the hostess stand. We chose to sit at the bar and had a great experience. We started with bruschetta topped with burrata cheese. I ordered the angel hair pasta in a white garlic butter, cream sauce with marinated chicken and grilled vegetables. My husband ordered the special hamburger with Swiss cheese bacon, spinach and mayo with a side of fries. We ended with slices of the key lime pie that didn't disappoint! The food, service, staff and environment were exceptional! We overheard the Server mention that veterans receive complementary meals on Veterans Day, which speaks volumes about how this restaurant supports those who have served. If you are in the Outer Banks- whether you're staying in Kill Devil Hills or nearby- this restaurant is worth the drive and all the hype!
