The French toast bagels are next level, but you can't go wrong with any of their menu items. They have cold brew coffee, too!

Lighthouse Bagels is one of my absolute favorite places to eat in Corolla. Honestly, this is one of…read morethe few places in the area where I consistently leave thinking, "That was actually delicious." I come here multiple times whenever I'm staying in the area, and I'll even drive from other parts of the OBX just to get a bagel here. The selection is fantastic, and I've never had a bad bagel. Everything I've tried has been delicious and worth the trip. The wait times can definitely be long, especially when they're busy. I do wish they had a better system for letting customers know when their order is ready. An order screen showing the numbers that are in progress and ready would make a huge difference. It can be difficult to hear or know when your number is called. That said, the food is absolutely worth the wait. Seating can also be competitive, but it's worth fighting for a picnic table and enjoying your bagel outside. If you're in Corolla, this is a must-visit.

I got this to go and the service was fast and customer service was great. The French fries are made with beef tallow, which you can tell they also had the right amount of crisp, very good. The cheesesteak was solid overall, just lack some flavor (salt,pepper, etc.) would have helped, but overall solid spot in Corolla.

If you have a hankering for an authentic Philly cheesesteak, these sandwiches will hit the spot. Located in a strip mall, restaurant offers cheesesteaks, hoagies (using Boar's Head meat & cheese), burgers, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, sides, and fountain drinks. There appeared to be a bar area with taps, but not sure if they were functional. Provides counter service with indoor seating. Staff friendly, efficient and delivered food to table. Food was fresh, hot and delicious--and, as an FYI fries have crispy coating.

The french fries are hot and crispy. I got my iced tea, half sweet tea, half unsweetened, just the way I like it it is fresh. So happy that I found this place and listened to other yelpers! Service was quick. The ambience is a diner with lots of tables and a bar. There is background music that is upbeat, which I think is perfect for the atmosphere. There is also a bar serving alcohol on one side of the restaurant. I arrived at 1:30, so there was no line which got my food to me in a very quick amount of time! Highly recommend if you want a hearty meal.

tl;dr: stick with a chicken dish and you will be very happy…read more Interesting little place, connected to a gas station. As you walk in you note the feel of it being a converted diner made to look like a country place. You grab your own menu, seat yourself, and walk up to the bar/register when ready to order. If the first time, you need a minute to get your bearings. Food ordered (3% fee is not using the cash "discount" FYI, pretty common around here and absurd given these OBX prices). Drinks are self serve. Some coke products and excellent tea. This was the end of breakfast around 10:30/11, so it was empty. Service was pretty quick. (they bring it to the table). I thought the breakfast pricing was fair. Shrimp and grits for $12, etc. Especially for the portion sizes. Two things I didn't care for. -The ceilling tiles were crazy dirty and stained and the flor light bulbs were uncovered. -The shrimp and grits needs a re-do. It's huge, with a base of grits, ladels of bacon gravy, and about 5 shrimp and cheddar cheese. It's more like a shrimp, grits, gravy, cheese casserole. I would have much rather had a base of grits, the gravy scooped in the middle with shrimp stuck in it, and topped with cheese. Even with all that you'd think there would be flavor. It was kind of bland minus the occasionally greasy/burnt bacon piece. Also, the shrimp were flavorful but over-cooked and tail on, which is traditional--but in the casserole were a pain in the butt to get the tail off/cut. I know they can do good flavors and plates. My spouse's chicken biscut...omg the hand-breaded chicken was fantastic! My son's baked apples were to die for. You Philly visitors will be happy to see scrapples on the menu - yuck. All in, I would repeat and stick to chicken and the chicken coop.

In this time, most of the meat ran out. My ribs were almost given away to another group. Five groups of people came in, ordered, and got their food in that time. Take a look at the wedge salad one of us ordered for $13, plus tax and tip. I'll always love this place from my youth, but I won't be going back soon.
