We ordered a kill devil burger, 2 chili dogs, 2 cat 1 Chocolate with m&m hurricanes and fries. It was great after a 4hr drive and walking around the Wright brothers memorial area. Wish they had more seating outside but we ate in the car with the air conditioning going. read more

It is outstanding! read more

This is the best place to eat in the Outer Banks! Their food makes me return year after year! This is the first place I come to dine as soon as we get settled in our timeshare. It's been ten years and we have not found another restaurant to best the Kill Devil Grill! They have a fabulous specials board of fresh caught fish, but it empties quick, the portions are generous and the staff are amazing. Service is outstanding, all the servers watch the tables and pitch in to provide seamless food presentation. Can you wait a bit? Sure, but you are guaranteed an outstanding meal. Ten years strong! Thank you! read more

Not only was the food hot and delicious, the service was excellent. But more importantly, a member of our party lost her hearing aid while we were there and the staff went over and above what you would expect. When we got home, we discovered the loss and went back to find it. Even though they were very busy and another group was sitting at our booth, they looked everywhere for it, they later checked the trash to see if it had been swept up, they even took apart the booth looking for it. Unfortunately, it was not found but the staffs concern and efforts were very admirable. read more

Perfect dining experience in my opinion. Amazingly attentive but not annoying service, DELICIOUS and well-prepared food (I had the scallops, which I dont normally order, and my BF had the ribs, plus we both shared wings as appetizer, plus award-winning key lime pie for dessert), quant, fun, and clean atmosphere. We will most definitely be back. read more

Not sure with the hype. Descent foods and services, but definitely not 5 stars. This is more like a diner with mostly seafoods. Only has 1 table which can accommodate a group. Will I come back if I happen to be in the area? Maybe if I really have to. Other wise, I will rather try other restaurants. read more

Always great food and service. We are part time residents and Kill Devil Grill is one of our absolute favorites. They never disappoint.

By far, one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. If I could give more stars, I would. The service is top notch especially impressive now when service seems to be an issue at many restaurants. The food is fantastic especially the fried chicken - enough for two people. Thank you, Kill Devil Grill. read more

Excellent food and personal service! Jumbo crab cake sandwich is the best ever. It's all good.

Went there again a year later and it is STILL our #1 restaurant in Kill Devil Hills. I, of course, got the southwestern chicken salad again, and the husband got the chalkboard special - southwest hangar steak on a jalapeno creamed corn and mashed potatoes. The jalapeno creamed corn was TO DIE FOR, as was the steak. The entire plate was licked clean. Kill Devil Grill is CONSISTENT and the carry out was ready on the dot. The order had every dish struck out, meaning they make sure that everything you order makes it into the bag. You should NOT MISS THIS PLACE! read more

Food and service are outstanding! Cute old style diner! Best fish sandwich and beer shrimp! Steak fries are the best too! Definitely worth the wait to have a wonderful meal! read more

Best place on the beach!! Fresh seafood and well prepared. Come early or be prepared to wait. Worth the wait!

We come to this place every year and it never disappoints. Its always crowded but you never wait very long and staff ate always friendly. Highlights are the egg rolls and fried shrimp. It is on our short list of favorite OBX restaurants. read more

Aside from the 40 minute wait for the table, everything was good. Started with the crab cakes and they were chocked full of crab meat. We had the burger and the catch of the day, a perfectly cooked halibut over creamy grits. Soooo tasty. The fries were great, service was good and the burger was cooked perfectly. read more

We visited The Kill Devil Grill our last visit to the OBX. We enjoyed their menu and would give an extra shout out to their Covid precautions. We ordered a salad, wings and a kids meal. read more

Service was good, the food we had was just okay but the Strawberry Shortcake Dessert was the best!! I would recommend this place just for that, it's the best i've ever had. read more

5 This is a MUST EAT AT PLACE! We've been here every visit for 8+ years now! The food is always amazing and Delicious Wise variety menu so there is something for everyone! Always leave room for THE BEST KEY LIME PIE! Or take it with you! The servers are excellent and always on point & friendly even when the wait time is over an hour! The bartenders are so friendly and welcoming even when they are really busy read more

The Kill Devil Grill - American Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

My husband and I ate twice here while on vacation. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is excellent. I had a Kill Devil Salad with grilled shrimp the first time. The shrimp was the best ever! You could tell it had been swimming around recently. Tonight I had the shrimp creole, and my husband had a half rack of ribs. We were both very happy. We split an excellent key lime pie on our first visit. You really can't go wrong here. read more

We just can't say enough about Kill Devil Grill. I would have to say that on a list of favorite places on the Outer Banks, Kill Devil Grill is at the top, especially for finer dining. We are regulars at Sam & Omie's, Miller's Waterfront, High Cotton, Darrell's, TL's, and Spanky's. We also have enjoyed Collington Café a couple of times. I realize that this represents a range of menus and levels of cuisine, but everytime we eat here we are I impressed at the well prepared food, surprising menu of specials and absolutely perfect service. Most recently we went for Ms T's birthday. She enjoyed grilled shrimp on pasta with fresh tomato sauce and I had blackened rockfish on delicious creamy polenta. Kill Devil Grill is one of the busiest places we go to. We were there at 5:15pm on a Saturday evening in March and the place was nearly full. My rockfish was sold out before I received mine probably 20 minutes later. The specials do sell out, which means they decide to make a fixed number and when they are gone, they are gone. You are assured of fresh food this way. And by the way. Do not pass up the key lime pie! A few days later for lunch on Friday, Ms T had the special fried chicken. This is good fried chicken, but over coated for my taste and under-seasoned. It is worth getting to try once especially if you are an extra-crispy fan at KFC. I would like a lighter coating and some black pepper at least if not a little cayenne. The serving is huge, half a chicken and these are not tiny fryers. I had a burger finally. I skipped the Big Kahuna and just had the Royale cheeseburger, but it was big enough that I only needed half. Medium rare was perfect. It was juicy and not dense in texture. It had great beef flavor and I enjoyed it with shredded lettuce and tomato. Points are awarded for a right-sized bun! This is a different style than Art's, but after Art's I would eat a burger here or Two Roads or Goombay's unless I wanted the distinct diner style at Spanky's. I wish I liked the slaw here, since I don't eat fries anymore. They give you a haystack of slaw but it is infused with geen onion and I ate one bite. It is the only thing I have not liked at KDG. read more

My chili was delicious but hubby's cat fish sandwich wasn't done. Fries, very good. Service was excellent.

This will sound like an overstatement, but it's not - this was one of the best meals I've ever had at the beach. I had the grilled salmon salad and an order of fries. The salmon was perfectly grilled - just the right amount of char for texture, and the combination of ingredients in the salad was so good, I texted my husband "we'll have to make a salad like this at home this Summer." The fries were hot and clearly just made, some of the best I've ever had. I got the famous key lime pie to go - my AirBnB host said this was her #1 local recommendation and they'd been advertising it (and flagging the key lime pie) on the radio all week, too, so I had to do it. I was delighted I did. I'll be back for sure. It's a popular spot; I arrived at about 7:30 and I had a 25 minute wait. The bustling ambiance and fun music made the wait fly by, though, and the servers were all fantastic. read more

So understanding the seriousness of Covid, the website and The Yelp app is not only not user friendly but makes you wait to order your food for 1.5 hours away for lunch pick up. I called the restaurant they said you were allowed to eat In now. I asked if I could come in and order take-out as that would make sense since they are open. So the girls answer was yes you can dine in but cannot order any food to go?? Please explain how this makes logical sense? If anything preventing Covid they would be glad we were ordering to go. Never ever will use this place as I have in the past years. Will not return to this establishment. Very dissatisfied. So I called another take out and was able to place an order. read more

This spot was a highlight of our visit to the Outer Banks. The food was great, with a varied list of specials. I had brisket with chipotle potato salad, Mexican street corn, and corn bread with local blueberries, all fantastic! My daughter loved the strawberry shortcake. Super impressed with the service - not only that our server was great and thorough, but also every staff person who walked by would check to see if plates needed to be cleared or glasses refilled. Gets busy at dinner time during the summer, definitely make the time to get in early. read more

Delicious food and rock star service!!! We walked in the door on a busy night and got seated immediately. Our waiter knew everything about the menu and specials and had perfect recommendations for our group. The smokey flavor in the flatiron steak was AMAZiNG!! read more

Ive been wanting to try this place out for many years . Glad I finally stopped in . It was after 1:00 and the parking lot was full. There was one space in the back open so I pulled in. Went in the front entrance which is for the bar area. The bartender quickly let us know how to navigate our way to the hostess for seating ... so the side door is where you enter if wanting a table . The place was packed even the bar area. There is a nice outside area to wait . The menu is perfect . Just enough to satisfy any appetite . Nicole was our waitress . She was fabulous and attentive . We didn't have to ask for anything. She really took care of us. She let me know they give the bill while you eat lunch Incase you need to get going ,but dessert can be added!!! Thank you for that .More restaurants should do this . Went there for a burger and I ordered the Big Kahuna Burger !!! Cooked to perfection. Comes with fries ! Yummy Yummy !!! They know what they are doing . The food is delicious and service outstanding . I will go back and ask for Nicole ... read more

The Kill Devil Grill - Lunch Menu ... - American Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

The service in the bar was good. Would strongly suggest when ordering the soft shell crabs to ask to the braised kale into a separate bowl or else the vinegar juice from kale soaks in the crab. read more

Ok, this place is legit! If you have never been, go! The Cesar salad, the best ever! All the food is made in house. Lots of different offerings. I had fresh wahoo. It was fabulous. The ribs, mashed potatoes, desserts, all amazing. And the service is southern hospitality exemplified. Really excellent! read more

We are visiting from Winston Salem for the weekend. We met the business owner. As a fellow business owners we promised to write a good five star review but she encouraged us to give our honest opinion so here it is: we ordered the fried softshell crab sandwich, it sounded interesting and we had never had one before. It was fantastic. They use a high-quality bun, a tomato that was red all the way through and a very delicious soft shell crab. This place is obviously serious about their food and we will be back, perhaps on this short trip ;) read more

Quite possibly the best place to eat in OBX. Great service, hot and amazing dishes... we will be back! Highly recommend!

Great fresh fish. My husband had the salmon salad, and I had a fresh cod sandwich. Both terrific. Service is outstanding - every single person seems to like their job, helped each other out, and went out of their way to be sure customers were happy. The only complaint is it that it is VERY noisy - big place, lots of loud, happy people. read more

My fiancé and I went for dinner tonight. Wow!! We are total foodies so like to go different places. I'll say the service, food and environment were great! Start to finish everything was excellent. I had the grilled chicken salad and he had the fried chicken salad. Excellent! Home made ranch dressing always makes it better. The salads were fresh, not soggy & a great mixture of things in them. We finished with the choc. pecan pie. Omg. It's amazing! Definitely recommend if you're not going for "fancy". It's like an older cafe with kicks of new. Love it & will revisit! read more

Great Service! Great Food! The front of this place is an old diner car and looks small but it opens up into a comfortable cool place to escape the sun and enjoy the service and food. The service staff knew the menu very well including a description of the local fish special of the day. She knew where the fish was caught, the species and a great description of how it would look and taste. The picture is of the barrelfish over cheesey grits with a avocado- corn salsa. The food came out in good time and was cooked perfectly. I will be back again to try another local fish prepared really well. read more

We went there as "first-timers" and ended up eating there three days in a row! The cheesesteak egg rolls were a great starter! Their specials are delicious as well, and there is a fresh catch of the day each day. It seems to be a favorite of "the locals" which is always a good sign. Staff members are very friendly and attentive. read more

Okay, I would go in a rant and write a book about the experience and food here, wow! During the pandemic, this establishment went above and beyond what I expected. Easy order placement, detailed explanation on all the popular choices of which we did chose the special at the time due to the personable staff employed here! I stayed close, so I walked back to the grill for easy pickup and good eats! Definitely will return, please stop in if you're ever in the area! read more

We had a great lunch at Kill Devil Grill. We wanted to go back for a second meal; however, they were closed on Sunday. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed it! read more

This is a very unfair rating, I will admit. My wife enjoyed her meal. My negative review is based on one thing.... On Trip Advisor it says Vegan and Vegetarian options available. We waited the hour and twenty minute wait... zero vegan or veg options. The chef made a bowl of angel hair pasta with a chopped up zucchini. Tasteless. If vegan, stay away. If not, you will probably love this place. read more

First off, the service was wonderful. All of the staff pitch in to refill drinks and get you what you need. Food was good, especially the key lime pie, fried shrimp, cole slaw, and coffee! read more

Local bar and grill that we found on Google. Walked in for lunch and was immediately greeted by bartender who directed us to the dining area as requested. We were also immediately seated at a table. Food was to us quickly. Burgers, shrimp, fish, were all fresh and cooked perfectly. The food was delicious and they had $3, 22oz draft Modelo's (if you aren't into IPA's). Can't argue with that. We were pleased with the service and quality of food. read more

One of the best in the area. We actually ate here twice and ordered the exact same thing. We started off with a half pound of the local spiced shrimp which was cooked in PBR, they only use half the can so they bring you the other half to drink. For our entrees I ordered the fresh catch of the day sandwich platter which was tuna. My husband had the Big Kahuna Burger which was cooked perfectly as ordered. Of course you have to save room for their yummy strawberry shortcake. Fresh whipped cream in between two pieces of what had a taste of cornbread but wasn't quite that. It balanced the sweet of the fresh strawberries. The service is fast and the the servers are warm and really great. You won't be upset with coming to this restaurant. read more
