I don't say that often, but the waitress seemed very detached and uninterested. She didn't come back to check on us while we were eating, except to bring the check at the end. She was very friendly so it wasn't anything personal. It just seemed that she was not focused on service. The food was really good and I would definitely go back to try something else on the menu! Also, my friend who ordered the margarita said it was one of the best she ever had because it tasted so fresh! The mahi was really good, but I would definitely recommend more lettuce for the taco salad. It was only sprinkled on top.

Located right across the street from the Hilton Garden Inn, it's an absolute gem. Whether you want to sit in the climate-controlled inside or head to the upper deck to enjoy the weather with your dog, they've got you covered! The Service: Top-notch. Katie gave us a warm welcome, and Lisa took amazing, attentive care of us. The Food: Outstanding! We loved the Shrimp Dinner, Coconut Shrimp, classic Fish and Chips, and the phenomenal Soft Shell Crab Tacos. Don't skip the Oreo cheesecake for dessert! It's a shame we only found it on our last day of vacation, but it will be our very first stop next time we're in the Outer Banks. Highly recommend!

He was initially warm and as we ordered, asked that he let us know if we inadvertently selected a dish containing pork. The dishes arrived with astonishing speed. The Caesar salad had some unidentified fried object on it and when I asked the waiter, he let me know it was pork rinds. He did not acknowledge that it was an error and flippantly suggested I remove them. I asked for a plate to put them on. The waiter's demeanor turned cold after this (what I considered innocuous) exchange. Regarding the dishes, everything was beautifully presented and arrived hot and fresh at our table. I would not recommend the fried cauliflower as it was very bland with some chili sauce splashed over top. The scallops were very well prepared however. NC Coast is a nice spot for a special meal, especially with the view. Just hope the service is more consistent with other guests.

Creamy with the perfect amount of spice and plentiful chunks of tomato, it's impossible not to get and devour any time I'm here. We come here often during our time in the Outer Banks due to convenience, plus you can't beat the view. The bar serves beer, wine and an inventive mix of wine based cocktails, and the food is your typical Mexican fare with a few fun local twists like the crab quesadilla and duck pizzadilla (part pizza, part quesadilla). Service is quick, we never wait long for our food to come out here. The boardwalk seating is the only thing that's tricky -- this place can get packed and finding a table that fits your whole family can be challenging during peak hours.

This truck used to be stationed further down the outer banks but has recently moved to Kitty Hawk. Food is made fresh to order. You can call ahead and pickup and pay or you can order at the truck and wait. We waited since it was our first time. The food is delicious. Their meals come with a side of their homemade Pico and fresh chips. I got the Buxton Burger, a 6 oz Patty and added cheese. Comes on a nice roll with all the condiment sauces on the side. I also got onions, pickles and lettuce. Wife got the Wanchese steak sandwich. That was HUGE, she only has had and I enjoyed the rest. Plenty of steak on a nice long bun. I'd probably ask for mustard and Mayo next time. Waffle fries were super fresh and delicious. They will definitely get my vote next time we are looking for a meal or burgers and steak subs.

Antojitos serves up some seriously delicious food and is the place for Mexican food in the OBX area…read morein my opinion. Here's the deal: Antojitos restaurant features both traditional and Mexican-American with a more traditional leaning in ingredients and most importantly, flavor! One thing that makes this restaurant stand out is that the meat here is marinated and cooked in a traditional style including its Al Pastor option. Something many Mexican restaurants don't do or don't do well. This is then mixed with other ingredients that make the food vibrant, including pickled jalapeños with carrots, custom hot sauces, and Antojitos own crema among others. We tried fajitas which were some of the best I've had, Al Pastor gordita, chicken chile relleno, and a torta cubana. All amazing and made every person in my party want to come back during our trip. Portions are large, you will not go hungry. Prices are very reasonable and definitely less than restaurants "on the strip". The restaurant is medium sized with plenty of seating, including tables that can be used for large parties. Service was fantastic and with a smile. Drinks never went dry. If eating in the restaurant look for specials on the boards which don't appear on the menu. Highly recommend, I will definitely be back. We ate at the Powells Point location and it is absolutely worth the little drive if you are staying on the islands. Happy eating and see you there!

Neither one was worth the money. Everything is expensive anymore when you eat out, I don't mind paying if the food is good. The soup had no signs of fish or seafood in either serving. It tasted like a spicy vegetable soup. It was good but no fish and not worth $9. The Quinoa bowl was average, tomatoes were spongy and tasteless and 3-4 pearl mozzarella balls. How is that $19? Very disappointing. I gave 1 star for our wine and our waitress Emily did an awesome job. She was prompt and took care of all the tables in the dining room. She did a fantastic job ensuring we had everything we needed. It wasn't her fault for the food. We are both locals and wanted a girl lunch, and appreciate the challenges restaurants face. Trio is always busy So not sure why today's food was so poor. I still bought wine at the store, again great shop.
