With bright lights and colors and a huge candy section, this is a a child's dream. There are many different choices in open bins where you fill a bag/box and purchase by the pound - Keep an eye on those scoop sizes because this gets real expensive real fast! At $15.96/lb as of my visit, you can very quickly scoop an eye popping amount into what feels like a small bag. The staff were not especially friendly, mostly mumbling and hard to understand when I asked questions. Also, prices seem intentionally misleading ("$3.99/quarter pound") which seems cheap if you're only quickly glancing and not doing the math.

My parents got me the sweet and spicy beef jerky and the habanero mango peanuts a part of my christmas gift and both are terrible. Way too much sugar in both. I'll give the jerky a pass because it leads with the sweet, but the peanuts are awful. It's more sugar and artificial fruit flavor than peanut. You get a bit off heat at the end, but the whole point of using habanero chilis is that it has a natural fruity flavor that is completely masked by the sugar and artificial fruit flavor. Could have just used capsaicin extract and would have the same effect. And would be much cheaper. I know this location isn't responsible for production.

The ingredients for the sandwiches are super fresh, the wine selection is amazing and the cookies were delicious also! It's on my list for whenever in the area. I also love the 100 rating from the Dept of health. Although we did not partake in charcuterie boards, everything offered looked amazing so I imagine they are just as incredible as the sandwiches!

I stumbled upon Absolutely Outer Banks a handful of years ago and I was impressed with the selection of locally made arts and crafts. Ever since, this is my go to spot for legitimate and tasteful Outer Banks souvenirs. In addition to locally made items they also have some vintage items and even some new items for sale. One item that this store specializes in is really cool resin windows that are unique and exude happiness. Absolutely Outer Banks has artwork in all mediums and in all price points. They have jewelry, wood signs, candles, prints, glass work, textiles, metal work, etc.  On my most recent visit I enjoyed looking at a vintage pin ball machine and eyeing up the beautiful array of Fiestaware. There is plenty of opportunity for ooohhhing and ahhhing.  The owner is super friendly so that adds to the overall great experience. Absolutely Outer Banks is centrally located in Kitty Hawk in the former spot of a bank.
