    Italian (hot)
    Abby R.

    Absolutely amazing little sandwich shop! Staff is so friendly and willing to give great suggestions. Food is prepared fresh, about 10ish minutes for what we got, and brought to you at your table or packaged to go. Probably the best Italian sub I've had in years, and the suggestions and local favorites don't miss.

    Turkey and cheese on sourdough, pressed.

    Great sandwich shop. You order at the register, get a number, then they bring it to you outside. Service was quick. You get a choice of breads and how it's prepared. My wife and I shared the turkey and cheese on sourdough and had it pressed. We had our water bottle with us, but you can purchase bottled carbonated, non-carbonated (tea) drinks, and bottled beer. The sandwich was outstanding. They even plated it separately for us. All the ingredients were fresh. The only thing better would be indoor seating. There were flies around us. However, the weather was perfect. If not, you need to eat in your car (if you're a tourist, like we were).

    Kat's deli did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly, the ambiance is very chic but the food was simply to die for. I tried the Chicken cordon blue sandwich which was amazing! They do not hold back on the meats. My friends enjoyed The Pepi and the Jurassic Pork. All of the sandwiches were incredible in their own unique way. There's definitely an option for whatever mood you're feeling. We will absolutely be coming back! Also honorable mention to their 100% sanitation score.

    First time here, we will write the review after we taste

    Fantastic little deli. I had a MTO sandwich with corned beef and my wife had the Shrimp salad special. They whipped the sandwiches out in no time. You must try

    Sweet home avocado - SO GOOD! They were out of tomatoes which was actually fine with me for this wrap

    We met Kat while she was helping out with a friend's rehearsal dinner, and that's when we found out she was the owner of the cute little deli we had passed on the way into town. It was right around the corner from our rental, so we decided to check it out the following day. The little shopping center itself is too cute, and Kat's has a collection of tchotchkes for sale also. To eat, I ordered the Sweet Home Avocado. They were out of tomatoes, but given that it's a warm sandwich I actually think it was better without. It tasted just as good as it looked! My boyfriend ordered the Reuben at Kat's recommendation and really liked it. The pickles were on point and every sandwich comes with chips as well. Definitely a great option for visitors and locals alike!

    First off, I'd like to say that the service was fantastic. The food was great, and our server…read moreJustin was a fantastic guy. My only complaint is the seating. They don't take reservations, which is understandable. We were told that the wait would be 20-25 minutes, which quickly turned into an hour. The setup of the seating makes no sense, because there were people who got there before opening and were being seated. We also had several people behind us in line, in the same size party be seated before we did, and we basically got ignored for a good half hour. Asking about why we were being skipped led to a host telling us she had no idea, and made no effort to figure out why. We have gone to this restaurant several times, and we make an effort to come here whenever we're in the outer banks. I believe that the management of seating is really the only thing wrong with this restaurant, and if you're going to make someone wait, you should at least be able to tell them why.

    One of the best meals in all of OBX where every part of the meal delivered…read more For starters we had the crispy calamari. The calamari came out hot and tasted so good with the Cajun remoulade to dip in. We also had the special lamb lollipops which were cooked to a perfect medium and were seasoned perfectly. The chopped wedge salad was massive and great to share with another person. The seafood corn chowder is packed with all different kinds of seafood and makes a nice thick chowder. The shrimp and grits is one of the best shrimp and grits I've had. The tomato sauce is full of so much flavor with the large tomato chunks adding some nice texture to the dish. The grits are fried into cakes that have that crispy outside and smooth grits on the inside. On the specials we had the fried soft shell crab. While the crab had a nice light batter the crab shell isn't great but was made up with the lemon remoulade on top. The vegetables were under seasoned lacking salt and any other seasoning. The whole fried fish did stand out as a great dish with the fish cut into large strips, the light fry, and the Cajun remoulade to add some flavor to dip in. For dessert we had the special chocolate mousse cake which was delicious but nothing too special. Overall every item was good and our server was wonderful and I will plan on coming back whenever I'm in the OBX.

Getting them and have to then sit and drink them at the end when we wanted to leave was awkward. * Over all the timing of everything was really off. * The main food was very good! The tuna meal and shrimp and grits were fantastic! My brother-in-law and I both had the Mahi (Cobia Korean style?) and his was definitely tastier! If you look at the pictures, mine was the long skinny piece and it was just not a good cut. Kind of tougher and the sauce was very over powering. But his was very good! (We compared bites) * The service started strong but our waitress became hard to come by towards the end. (And they weren't crazy busy, just a normal night) We waited a little too long for her to come back so we could get the check. Would I recommend Rusty's? Yes! I think overall between the atmosphere, the tasty drinks and the main courses were very good! Would I return? Maybe. It didn't blow me away for the overall price but I'm not opposed to it either!

    It started with a cup of ice water that tasted great. Filtered, cold, no aftertaste…read more Then we got MANY recommendations from the table near us saying this and that were great. I was overwhelmed but we settled on the bbq plate and the shrimp and scallop sandwich with onion rings. Everything was truly amazing. The onion rings were perfect. They had the best crisp! As well as the fries. The sandwich you could taste the flavor the second it hit your mouth. No waiting to chew and swallow. It was instant YUM. I was really craving coleslaw and while it was very fresh and looked great, it was slightly sweet and I personally prefer a more vinegar/savory slaw. I also ordered a coke with my meal and I have a very distinguished and picky palate for GREAT coke. It needs to have the "bite" and the burn, not watered down and sad. This did not disappoint. Every sip I took I had to exclaim. This is great coke! I wish we could go back, but they're closed today, on Monday, and we're leaving the beach. I haven't been this impressed by a restaurant in years. I never expected a beach town "bar food" restaurant to be this amazing. Also. Service was very friendly.
