We had such a great experience at outer banks brewing station! I've been coming to the OBX a few times a year and can't believe I've never been before. They gladly accommodated our large group, and Jacob was a phenomenal server! Not to mention the food was amazing! The gluten free options were generous which I appreciated. Personally loved the crab and shrimp dip with tortilla chips, and the beet salad with the grilled ahi. We also loved the live music (so talented whoever was playing on 2/7!) and overall vibes. Will definitely make this a normal stop on our outer banks visits in the future. read more

A cold beer and some delicious cheese curds hit the spot this afternoon after the ferry and then driving up from Hatteras. This was clean and the service was friendly, sitting in one of the tables overlooking the bar. I would have stayed longer and had a second beer but the air conditioning was just not keeping up with the heat wave. Time to move on to the next.

Outer Banks Brewing Station is such a unique place and one of my favorite stops in Kill Devil Hills. The first thing you notice is the wind turbine towering over the building, and it's not just for show. This was the very first wind powered brewpub in the United States, and it still supplies a portion of their electricity today. It makes the place feel like more than just a restaurant and brewery, it's a piece of history and a real landmark. The beer is excellent with a good range of styles, and the food menu has both local seafood and Southern inspired dishes that pair really well with what they brew. The kids and I loved the hushpuppies. They have some Gluten Free menu items available and can do some substitutions to help make items more GF friendly (swapping out the beer cheese for example). The outdoor space is also a big plus. The backyard has picnic tables, games, and even a pirate ship play area for kids which makes it easy for families to enjoy themselves while parents relax with a drink. On some evenings they have live music which gives it a lively but still laid back feel. Between the wind powered story, the great food and drinks, and the family friendly atmosphere, this spot really stands out on the Outer Banks. read more

Service and food were great! Only downside is that when we told the hostess we were there for trivia, even though we were with children, and they sat us in the bar. We were excited but then surprised when the bartender told us we'd have to leave because it was 21+. I understand the rules, but the hostesses should be aware of them. read more

What a nice spot. I've never had crab bisque so I can't compare it to anything, but it was a 10/10! I absolutely loved it. My favorite thing today. Besides the wine- got a Chardonnay from New Zealand and it is probably the best wine I've ever had in my life. You can smell the goodness. Loved it. Got the burger and sweet potato fries. The BEAST burger was ok. It was good but nothing special. The hush puppies were so good. Love the music playing and the atmosphere OH MY ACTUAL GOD!!!! The carrot cake is the BEST carrot cake that has ever been born. My husband is a carrot cake connoisseur and he melted. The pralines are such an epic touch. I'm coming back for that cake tomorrow read more

Honestly our favorite bar to go to when we're down in OBX. ESPECIALLY if there's a DJ - we just know it's gonna be a good time. We recently hung out in their backyard area for live music and had a great time! They have plenty of seating and a mini bar outside. We've never tried their food but the drinks are normally pretty decent. I always get a lemon drop and they're pretty good but not very strong. It takes me about 4 to feel anything. The only complaint we have is that they advertise that they're open til midnight but sometimes when we go, there is just a bunch of tables and chairs with no music or anything. It's kind of a strange vibe unless you go on a night with a DJ. read more

This was my favorite restaurant for our recent trip to the Outer Banks. Loved that they had a couple Vegan options, yet could make us seafood lovers happy. Loved that they had Sonoma Cutrer for $10 a glass. (yes I know it is a brewery). Vegans were happy with their Tacos and Teriyaki Tofu. I loved the Scallops with risotto. Got the small portion which was three scallops. Not quite full, I added on a cup of the crab bisque, and that was so rich I couldn't finish it. (very delicious though). Husband loved his fried shrimp. Place was clean, friendly great service and a nice bathroom. read more

Such a fun outdoor area to eat at! Their beer garden area has a sand pit for corn hole, a pirate ship playground and a mini stage area for live music. There's tons of outdoor seats. We came on a Thursday for lunch and it was essentially empty outside besides us - Salmon Caesar salad: So fresh and refreshing! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the chargrilled areas were done amazingly and tasted so good. - Peel & eat shrimp: Hubby enjoyed this! - Beers: I loved the lemongrass wheat! I also tried their kolsch and other witbier. Both were refreshing for a hot day! read more

Always a favorite when visiting family in KDH! Came in for lunch and ordered the blackened tuna sandwich, was absolutely delicious. My husband got the fried shrimp with 7 large shrimp cooked to perfection, I nabbed his coleslaw which was so fresh! Our server Julie was very friendly and attentive. Always always a great place read more

The restaurant is so fun to eat at with a bar and live music on the stage. This was one of the places in the Outer Banks bar crawl, and when I went shortly after Christmas, they had karaoke and a grinch going around to take pictures and singing. The clam chowder is not very good and it's not creamy at all, but the hush puppies and fried fish are delicious. I definitely reccomend this place if you're visiting, it has such nice vibes. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! I am gluten free (not celiac but preference) and the gluten free menu is huge and was absolutely fantastic. We had a part of over 16 people and service was amazing keeping track of everyone, food came out altogether and everyone was happy with their choices. The bar menu is my favorite and we cannot wait to return! read more

The online menu and in person are not the same. Fyi Also, we ran out of water for so long. She never checked on us that I was about to get water from the bar read more

We had a great meal. The bartender was extremely nice and it was perfect for watching our football game during the playoffs.

We absolutely love this place! We now bring our dog and sit outside to eat. It's really nice on a warm breezy day like yesterday. Get the scallops! They are excellent! read more

Awesome outdoor space, fun to relax and enjoy the music. I enjoyed the crab bisque and fried chicken sandwich. The beers were fresh, also had dessert this evening. Carrot cake bursting with flavor and very decadent. read more

The only positive thing I can about the place was it was on the main road! We were a table of 4 , the waitress seemed annoyed that people were there wanting to eat and she needed to wait on them. The place was 3/4 empty, so there was no rush. The appetizers came out quickly, but warm, not hot. We n got our food a little while later and all four of our meals were lukewarm or cold. I always lean to a cook being overworked if it's busy, but this wasn't the case since the place was practically empty. Go somewhere else, there's better options read more

Delicious lunch! Crab bisque with a huge small salad, and the steak sandwich all delicious!! And our server Lyrica was just awesome!!

Friendly dog friendly place with a chill atmosphere. We ordered fish and chips, which were really good, the chips were hot and perfectly fried. Also ordered a mahi-mahi fish sandwich, which was, just OK. The fish was somewhat overcooked and dry.. overall we had a great time, I would return. read more

Visited as part of the 12 bars of Christmas. We sat at the bar. We shared a regular pretzel with mustard and beer cheese. Beer cheese was ok, I really enjoyed the mustard. They are decked out in Griswald Family Christmas decorations. Staff is friendly. They have a mix of liquor drinks and beer. read more

Stopped in for a brew and a meal while traveling down the coast. My timing was not the best as there was a festival over the weekend and they had tapped several kegs. I still enjoyed pints of their Hugh Hefeweizen and a Quakers Extra Stout. For food I just went with their standard Pub Burger and fries. I was not overly impressed with the food, but I would still go back to try other fare. Since Covid I am still in sticker shock when getting a burger and fries for nearly $20. read more

Been here several times for breakfast/brunch after church. Our group of four has not been disappointed with any of the selections chosen, especially the wife who has celiac & was delighted with the gluten free options available as they are sometimes had to find on the coast, especially breakfast items. The service each time was from friendly young waitresses & meal delivery to the table was very reasonable. The restaurant is roomy & nicely decorated. I've also had beers here twice in the evening & the selection is very good. read more

We came to the Outer Banks Brewing Station because we were looking for a kid-friendly option for dinner. The outdoor dining area was very nice! A playground for the kids, live music, etc. The ordering set up out there is a counter where you order and pay and then they bring your food to you. That is not my favorite but it is perfectly fine and effective. The food was decent, average. Overall but we had a good time. read more

Just went in for drinks tonight bartender was nice and drinks were okay. the place is lovely interior

Outer Banks Brewing is such a fun, family-friendly spot to check out in OBX. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and we didn't even order food. However, everything around us looked and smelled delicious. The guys enjoyed the beers. I got the Aperol Spritz which was perfectly made. We sat outside (which I highly recommend) and enjoyed the music and sunshine. I can imagine that it gets very busy in the middle of the summertime. We came in April on a gorgeous weekend and it was perfection. read more

Great service, great food, super fast for a group of 8! Delicious beer combined with delicious food is the perfect OBX destination! Thanks to Diners, Drive Ins and Dives for the great recommendation and the bevy was extensive. We shared Fried Jalapeño Cheese curds (delicious), chips with dip - black bean, beer cheese and salsa, and huge pretzel with queso. The kids loved the apps - so did the adults! Fried shrimp dinner was yummy...the sriracha ranch was amazing, and not as spicy as it sounds! Filet Mignon was amazing. Delicious beer...brewed on site! read more

Service and beers were tasty. I like that they always say no problem when you go there with a few people and they just find space for you. Ordered half pound of peel n eat shrimp and these were tasty, however after I bought a round of shots (wasn't told it was the high end tequila but that would've been cool), I saw that I was billed for a full pound of shrimp instead. Purely accidental and the staff quickly corrected my bill for the shrimp. Parking is great with their own lot and I will return. I go there at least once a year read more

Package deal! Great food, great beer, great service at great prices. We can't wait to go back. We went with our adult and high school age kids and everyone had a great time. Food was fresh. Full bar! And the beers alone are worth the trip. To top it off, the staff is wonderful. Everyone was polite and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

This place was great, we had omnivores, a vegetarian and a vegan! Everything was lovely. Someone had a cocktail, someone had a mocktail, folks had sodas, cold cider, and a hot cider. We ate out back at the picnic tables, wrapped things up with a cornhole game! read more

No clue why this place doesn't have higher ratings. We had the best dinner here of our OBX trip and we went to some of the bougie seafood restaurants while we were here. Much better food and experience here. I forgot to take a pic of my Cuban Sandwich and it was awesome. Big portions, great food, amazing beer and the nicest service. Will make this a regular stop when we come back to the Outer Banks. read more

Had great service, especially since we were the only ones seated outside. Outdoor space is huge and really nice; I'm sure it's a lot of fun during the warmer months for families.

I had a really time here last week for dinner on a Friday night. First off, I was happy to find a place that could seat a table for two right away after having not so great luck all week. The ambiance of this place is pretty cool, big and open inside and there's even a stage area for live music. The beer selection was great and the food menu was too. We tried the large pretzel as an appetizer and it came out piping hot and was very fresh dough. The main meal I tried the mahi fish sandwich special which was also very fresh. The fries were really good too. Service was a little slow bringing out the drinks but they were friendly. I'd give this place another try though as the food was good and they have ample seating. Parking was adequate too. read more

Stopped here from the roadside Christmas decor! Quite a cool vibe - just stopped for drinks and it did not disappoint. Part of the OBX 12 bars of Christmas! Cool vibes, friendly staff rocking their Christmas attire, and great service! Looks like they have weekly events and live music :) read more

Been coming to OBX yearly and first time we made it in here. Definitely will be back. Great food, beers, service and atmosphere. Autumn waited on us and was incredible! Recommend the shrimp and grits and the Yard Bird sandwich. And of course recommend a flight of some of their great brews. read more

The space is good, and the service is adequate; not friendly but diligent. The food is also just good enough. I ordered the fish and chips, which I expected to be standard fa are to go with a good brew. And I ordered their pale ale, hoping for it to be light and refreshing. The ale was a bit too bitter with medium body, just not quite lining up to my expectation. The fish was lacking in seasoning. But the sauce served on the side was quite good. All in all, seems like a place to comfortably bring company to, but not fun to go to by oneself. read more

Pretty good place to bring fam and have some brews. Beer is decent & we have always enjoyed. Place to hang outside while waiting is a bonus read more
