Fried Goat Cheese
Myan L.

Service was great here! She did an amazing job with making sure our waters were always full. The one thing I noticed was that the food did take an adequate amount of time to come, although the food was not actually hot! The fried goat cheese may have been better if it was crispier. I did like the 12 for 13 deal on wing though! They actually have barbecue, buffalo and plain wings which their menu does not write out. Our server was more than happy to explain this! I wish the Calamari was a bit crispier although it was still enjoyable to eat! Seafood alfredo was not hot when it came out, and I noticed the portion was pretty small despite the price. The decorations in the restaurant were fitting for the nice theme though!

Crab Cakes with fries
Makaylah S.

On our way out towards our beach house we came across here and decided to try it out. Overall the food was pretty decent with expected pricing $$, and the small town vibes throughout made it charming. My brother was excited to try some local seafood and ordered calamari for us to share. Their take on calamari was for sure different- there were mandarin oranges on top(like from a fruit cup.?) , with jalapeños and a light sauce to dip them in. And while I can appreciate variety when it comes to common appetizers, we definitely still asked for some lemons and more aioli haha. I ordered the crabcakes with fries as a substitute, my partner got the burger, and my brother had to try the shrimp po'boy. It was all hot and fresh, with only minor adjustments needing to be made. As far as service goes, for a busy evening our waitress (who was training a new person too) kept up with our table and tried their best to accommodate- but as a message to management someone should be tag teaming bringing food out i saw like 3 or 4 people working there just standing around at the bar talking. Not fair to the rest of your team or customers waiting to be fed.

Shrimp & Grits
Dan M.

I made my return here and everything appeared the same except for a few different menu options. The Ketch antipasto was once again ordered (see previous review for similar thoughts). For dinner, I split 2 dinners, the shrimp, and grits along with the fresh ketch which was lightly blackened puppy drum. The shrimp and grits contained andouille sausage with tomato concasse, and a blackened cream sauce over fried grit cakes. This was unbelievable. There were about 7 shrimps present with a few large pieces of sausages. The blackened cream sauce was the key here. It had an unbelievable kick to it. I thought there was too much sauce present but between the sausage and shrimp along with the grit cakes, it was perfect as the sauce soaked up all those. The grit cakes were a great added touch. The blackened puppy drum came with a sun-dried tomato and goat cheese risotto with broccolini in an herb oil and balsamic reduction. This was solid too. The puppy drum was light and meaty, while the oil and balsamic reduction enhanced the overall flavor. The risotto was alright.

One of my favorite restaurants of all time…read more The mussels are soft where they almost melt in your mouth. There is almost no chewiness to them at all. The crispy smashers are both full of flavor and so crispy. Some of the potatoes don't get smashed enough and they are less flavorful but it tends to only be a couple of smashers out of the whole plate. The everything tuna was just as good as I remembered. The tuna almost melts in your mouth. The everything crust spices it up while complementing the avocado purée. The avocado puree does something that most restaurants fail to do, which is salt the avocado enough so it actually had flavor. I quite enjoyed the salad as the dressing had a strong soy flavor which was overpowering on some bites but perfect on others. The service was wonderful. The view of the water is such a joy. There is no place that I'd recommend more.

Best meal in OBX, yet again…read more A must visit, we really love food and the staff was extremely attentive. Not once did we feel rushed, about a 10 minute wait for a table and sat at the bar for a drink while waiting. I had the beef short ribs (not a huge seafood guy), and the wife had the catch of the day entree with red drum. Very good! Presentation and taste all on point. The small plate item we had as an appetizer was also great, baked feta which was phenomenal. The "painkiller" drink is very tasty. This was our second time visiting over the last year, we'll be back for sure. Not to mention the restaurants namesake, after the owners doggo, Po. Their t shirts and branding are classy subtle..had to have a shirt! Check them out!
