Delicious Avocado toast and a tiny $6.5 latte.
Hannah W.

The food tasted amazing. The service was good. The only downfalls are that their lattes (pictured) are tiny for $6.50. They also do not serve water to drink unless you would like to purchase bottled water. Overall great experience.

Monte Christo was kind of soggy.

Had a nice breakfast today. I ordered a bacon and egg sandwich, I guess I should have asked for the bread to be toasted. Breakfast potatoes from a bag pre cooked . Nothing special. Monte christo was kind of soggy not crispy. Service was good .

Biscuits and gravy with chicken strips, and grits
Katherine P.

This was a nice cafe, dog friendly. The ordering process is a little bit different if you're sitting outside - you order inside at the bar, and they'll bring it out to your table. The food is great! Fresh orange juice, tasty, strong coffee, and a tasty breakfast of biscuits and gravy with some fried chicken strips. They were also happy to fill our reusable coffee mugs, which was a nice touch. Because we were outside, we had minimal service other than having our food dropped off, but this was still a really nice breakfast spot.

Crispy chicken & biscuits

It was perfect. Saturday morning and luckily we didn't have to wait to be seated which was great, the service was friendly and efficient and the food was really good!

Scrambles w/ Sausage and Grits
Jon T.

ONHC seems to always be closed seasonally when we are here or when we get around to trying it. This time we thought of it early enough in the Fall to give it a try for late Sunday breakfast. We made it in just under the wire as they stop serving breakfast at 12:00 noon. This may have contributed to our less than stellar breakfast. We found this an OK place for standard American breakfast. We both ordered eggs and sausage and grits. Ms T had a biscuit and I skipped the bread. There is not much any restaurant can do to enhance or screw up over-easy or scrambled eggs. These were fine, no issues. We both liked the sausage. It was nicely flavored with a little spice, but not over-done with sage. The only issue was that it was served at room temperature. We assumed they fry up a bunch of patties and since it was about 15 minutes before the end of the breakfast hour, they had been sitting around for a while. They do have very high-quality grits. They are coarse with great corn flavor. They needed a bit of salt, not much. Ms T found her biscuit to be under done and doughy inside. There was nothing remarkable or bad about this Old Nag's Head Café breakfast. If it is close to where you stay, give it a try. It has a nicer café feel than Stack'em High or Jolly Roger. Our service was good even of the server did say, "awesome" to absolutely everything we said. But then, maybe we are just awesome. I want to go back for dinner, so hopefully we will make it before they close for the season.

Excellent dinner! Went the Wednesday prior to Memorial weekend and there was a 1.5 hour wait. We…read morewent to the bar outside a found a couple of seats because it was a gorgeous evening. Great outside area just beyond the bar with chairs, cornhole , etc for everyone to enjoy. After a few drinks a couple of more seats opened up and we decided to just eat at the bar. The bartender couldn't have been better! A great personality and very attentive to everyone at the bar and yes, the drinks were great! Food was delicious. A great place to go and they do take reservations which we will utilize next time.

Great food and service in bright, sunny restaurant which is modern with a beachy feel…read more Dined here for lunch and was very happy with the meal. I had the blackened mahi-mahi BLT sandwich which was perfectly cooked and served with over a pound of french fries. Not going to lie; the fries were fantastic. Nicely seasoned and not greasy. I ended up eating the mahi open-faced to avoid spilling on myself but the fish, tomato slice and lettuce were all delicious. It also came with a crisp pickle spear. My wife got the ceasar salad and added a skewer of blackened shrimp. The shrimp were tasty but could have stood a little more spice. They have a nice wine selection including a good selection available by the glass. Also a nice beer selection with some local/NC beers on tap. I observed all of the staff being very friendly and helpful to patrons throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be back and looking forward to trying it for dinner.

Staff, 11/10. Friendliest most attentive people I've ever met. Shout out Brady, Jordan and Larry…read more Thank you for being so lovely. PATRONS (9-10pm) 2/10. The absolute rudest, entitled, oblivious and demanding people I've ever seen. (Aka the just turned 21 crowd). For people looking for a more "already know bar rules" definitely go around 11:30. Still 5/5 stars. Can't beat how amazing the staff was. Updated menu w/prices in pictures.

Lots of curiosity regarding their Wagyu burgers, well we took care of that today!…read more Located around MP 8 just off the beach road with plenty of on site parking. It's off season so getting table at lunch was easy. Staff seated us and took our order quickly. They were super friendly and gave us the "pointers" on food( no lettuce or tomatoe here). Draft beer and cocktails available. Food was super delicious and not overly gigantic. Our burgers were grilled perfectly with just a minimum amount of condiments(.50) for shrooms, grilled onions and mayo(yup, mayo costs money). The tots are a seasonal thing so I got that. Delicious as tots are usually a staple in my diet. Sodas are free refills and our server even gave me a to-go cup. I live a refreshing fountain soda. The indoor dining area has lots of beach themed decor. There is a full bar at the front. I think on the weekends and summer season they also have outdoor music.
