I was disappointed by the fitting room policy at this shop. I went in with my two young daughters…read morewith the t-shirts we selected, and after we were already in the dressing room, an employee told us that only one person was allowed at a time. I asked if I could stay in the dressing room with my daughters so I could help them and make sure they were okay, but I was told they would need to come out and show me each item instead. This rule made a simple shopping trip take three times longer and was very inconvenient for a mom with special needs children. While there was a sign posted with the policy, I did not notice it beforehand. I understand businesses need rules, but this policy felt impractical and made the experience frustrating. Unfortunately, because of this rule, inflexibility and unfriendliness, I will not shop here again.

After we ordered the shirts, we continued to receive promotional emails guaranteeing delivery before Christmas if we were to place additional orders. It's Christmas day and the shirts are not here. Latest tracking says we may get them by end of day tomorrow. We love the shirts they sell but the promises they make are worthless.

Not your typical outlet mall...at least not anymore. The first thing you will notice is that this…read moreis on the smaller side, at least when it comes to outlet malls. You can tell that this was built for the area and took into consideration that this will not always be busy, especially during offseason. There aren't many options when it comes to variety. Mostly all the stores offer some type of clothing, aiming for the beach. Splash in some eateries, a shoe store, and high end souvenir shop, then you basically just formulated this place. Ample parking here, and I dare to say that there isn't a rush to come here. A lot of parking goes unused here as there really isn't much to make you want to come here. You would think that there would be better variety, but here we are years down the road and things change.

They even let us bring our two rambunctious Boston terriers in the store so extra points for being pet friendly! We no longer have a whalebone in Hampton Roads so wanted to make an extra stop here. Closed a little early for me (6pm) but maybe that's because Our visit was before Memorial Weekend. The merchandise is good. Typically prices for brand names and a little cheaper for store brand. Would definitely make this a routine stop whenever we are in town.

Bottom Line: Trendy, typical beach souvenirs sold in a cramped store by indifferent staff…read more I have not been a huge fan of Farmer's Daughter in the past but I thought I would give it a whirl again this year. The store is mainly packed full of trendy and typical beach souvenirs and clothing but there are some exceptions. I put the stacks of Salt Life, Fish Hippie and Simply Southern tshirts in the trendy/typical category. Some of the nicer items that caught my item were Yeti containers, Southern Tide menswear and Cobian flip flops. In the past I have been a big fan of Farmer's Daughters jewelry but that wasn't very shoppable this time around as it was hard to get to the cases. With the challenges that COVID-19 have created for small businesses I tried to give them a fair shake while vacationing in the Outer Banks for a few weeks but Farmer's Daughter left me disappointed. The store was just as cramped as ever with merchandise spilling over into the aisles. And the employees were less than welcoming. One employee pushed past me, literally, to get back to her restocking task at the jewelry counter. And the employee who rang me up only said four words - "twenty-seven seventy-four."

OBX as a whole isn't big on chains. You don't see a lot of chain anything on the island or if you…read moredo it will usually be one of the store and then the next closest location will be either a considerable distance away or back on the mainland. There is one huge exception to that and it would be Wings. It boggles my mind to understand how this chain stays in business. In certain locations there are a ridiculous number of stores and it seems like they are there for no other reason then to cannibalize off of themselves. While I despise shopping in all its forms the kids wanted a few OBX trinkets to take home with them so we gave this location a shot. Why here? In our travels during the week we passed by probably 8 or 9 different Wings-Super Wings-Double Decker Wings-Wing Dings (excellent font to type in) from Corolla all the way down to Nags Head and this location easily was the most dead. It probably has a lot to do with its location. Unlike most Wings locations which are right on the road, this location is in the back of a small strip mall pushed a good distance off of the road. Sho'Nuff the entire time we were in the store we were the only ones there. While this location is not as "Super" as some of the others it more than fit the bill with its large array of Chinese plastic and bloated priced cheaply made clothing. The only good thing was that compared to the two Wings up in Corolla this one had a lot more items marked 50% off. That will make the sting of wasted money be a little bit less next year when the kids want to give the shirts away to Goodwill when even they realize how this is pretty much the temple of poor decision vacation impulse buying. If you have to come, this chain has tons of locations and in season they all keep insanely long hours until 11pm or Midnight daily. Also note that the local Sunny Day Guide plus a few other websites have some small coupons that will get you a dollar or two off of some things.

The Pit has now become a long-time fixture in Kill Devil Hills. I remember when it opened. In the…read morebeginning it was just a club that would let kids under 21 so they had somewhere to go listen to bands, play games, and hang out. Then they expanded to the surf shop and built a separate building. Now they have Boardriders Grill. In the main building you'll find the "hang out" part. Downstairs on the ground floor is a stage and venue for bands and parties. On the main floor, there's a dining area and small bar. On the top floor there's some video games, pool, and chairs to chill in. Sunday is Euronight with electro/house music spinning and Thursday is Mug Night. At The Pit out back the surf shop keeps expanding so I can't even keep track of all that's offered. I will tell you that they keep up to date with all the rad stuff locals and surfers need to keep up with the island image and life. They offer board rentals, surf lessons, lots of cool stuff. One thing that's really cool is that they're home to "Skim City" which is a sick skimboarding brand. My brother used to be sponsored by them and my family was never short on encounteres with the Skim Crew! A boardsport lifestyle comes as naturally as going barefoot on the beach and The Pit acknowledges that. The Boardriders Grill has come a long way to have a following of its own. $1 tacos from 4 to 6pm and all day on Tuesdays always draw a crowd! I don't know how else to describe it but how they do -- a surf-inspired menu. My Mom loves their fish tacos and my friends and I can barely handle their burritos! Spice and gargantuan size with fresh fixin's. I love that you can eat inside or out on the front deck and the service is friendly and fast. You never know you'll run into at The Pit. Steve Pauls and Ben Sproul have done a pretty good job at keeping it up for locals and visitors alike though. Stop in and hang out...you'll have a good time.
