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.

We were driving by and my daughter said she was hungry so I pulled in and placed a to go order.

And the workers were so nice. We ended up getting hush puppies, dried okra, and two crab cake sandwiches. I was so impressed with how fresh and delicious the crab cakes were. Soooo good.

Also tried crab cakes which were fresh only down side some shell in it and the fries were good. Pricing is on the expensive side so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall great seafood spot, so impressed.

We stopped here for lunch between visiting the Currituck Lighthouse and Whalehead Club and our late-afternoon wild horse tour. The restaurant is tucked into the corner of a strip-mall-type complex and was a little difficult to find, but we were sure glad we did. The lunch special was a fried flounder basket with wonderfully seasoned, crispy French fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. It's a walk-up-and-order, seat-yourself kind of place. It appeared that the same person taking orders was also cooking and bringing the food to the tables. We ate outside on a very small deck overlooking a tiny bridge and waterway. The setting is simple, but the fresh, well-cooked food was definitely the highlight. This little hidden gem was well worth finding!

The wind from an incoming rainstorm knocked over the giant inflatable chicken outside. I made up my mind right then and there to stop by for a visit one day. When I finally got around to giving it a try, I dined in and was only semi-pleased. The staff were very nice, as the district manager was there at the time. The chicken itself can get quite chewy and hard to bite. The sauce is OK at best. The fries leave a little to be desired. The spiciness levels are very noticeable when requested at high volumes. I like that they offer slices of pickles with everything you order. The bread isn't too bad, as long as it's not soggy. When you order one of the Mozzarella Cheese Planks, they give it to you in a little box with a cup of sauce, a slice of bread, and a couple of pickles. I was not expecting it to have such a presentation and I have to admit, the charming nature of it almost brought a tear to my eye. It was just about the cutest damn thing I've seen in a long time. I mean, who thinks enough to do that!? Just pure thoughtfulness, that's what it was! It is VERY loud inside and the music choices aren't great. The interior is very flashy and riddled with graffiti-styled "Art". The one on Battlefield is a little better food-wise, I have to say. Which is disappointing. Maybe I'll give this one another try in the future. I still feel bad for the giant inflatable chicken that fell over in the parking lot that night. A force of nature shouldn't hinder the efforts of plastic poultry that's just trying to get the word out about Hot Dave and his line of spicy offerings.

You place your order at the counter just inside the doorway. Behind the cashier you will see the entire kitchen, the owner, and employees. Every time I've visited the owner is always present and friendly. There is ample room for eating inside as well as outside. The interior is clean as well as the bathroom. The door to the one unisex bathroom is directly in front of the counter where you order. The bathroom, cashier, kitchen are all in direct line of site. The bottom of the bathroom door has a 1 inch gap. Those ordering can hear and smell your experience in the loo. This is my only critical point. I'm off today, it's morning time, and this review is making me hungry. I'm going to use the bathroom before I go. I definitely recommend! Cheers!
