The 9 of us for dinner!
Christine F.

We made reservations on Wednesday for Thursday night dinner for 9. Definitely make reservations! Our waitress, Sydney, was welcoming and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all of the menu options. A beautiful setting looking out over the ocean but there is a long walk from the parking area and many steps but we'll worth it!

Me and my family have been coming to OBX for over 10 years, and this was the first time we have heard of Oceanfront Grille. And we were totally blown away with great food and awesome service from Kelly and staff. Now I will day we were a little skeptical about trying the crab cakes, but when we heard the owner was from Maryland, we breathed a sigh of relief. Oceanfront Grille will be the only place that I will be getting a crab cake from in OBX. Everything was delicious, from the lamb chops, to the shrimp Wellington, to the calamari, the food was phenomenal. We will be adding the Oceanfront Grille to our list of restaurants whenever we visit OBX. So if your in the Corolla section of OBX, make it your justice to stop in and have dinner

View! Note that the entire restaurant is essentially on a deck ... we had a thunderstorm roll in which made for an interesting dinner

The food was truly amazing and the service was fantastic! **Make reservations** I only took off a star because it's hard to find and very compact.... Again make reservations. The crab cakes are 98% crab ‍, the shrimp Wellington is light and crispy and if you don't get the salmon you've made a mistake! While there a thunderstorm rolled in which made for a memorable dinner!!! You should most certainly go!!!!

While we were in Corona beach for few days, we found this restaurant in Yelp, and decided to gave it a try. This restaurant is located in the resort community Near swimming pools. It is very secluded area. Despite other yelpers mixed reviews, we wanted to try for ourselves. When looking for a restaurant, I believe Good food, good service is the most important. I do not mind paying little more for good food. we ordered few drinks and oyster & crabcake, Tuna & crabcake. When they brought it, I thought crabcake was corn bread.. tuna steak was sooo well done and hard, it did not look fresh and it was so hard outside and brown... I mean ., I had lot of crabcakes in my life... this one was just so not right.. I couldn't finish.., after $150 for two meals and 2 drinks, and half of food unfinished ..we left. Two stars for trying....

This has been the first sit down restaurant I've been to since lockdown and quarantine began and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The staff were all wearing masks and seating was outside on the porch. On top of that, the food was delicious and came out to our table promptly. The fish sandwich was my favorite thing our party ordered, the sauce was delicious and the fish was tender and flavorful. The only things I didn't like about my dish was the bun, the hamburger bun wasn't the right shape, and the sandwich would have been better suited for a sturdier bread like a ciabatta. Also, the summer slaw had a bitter aftertaste, but was definitely a good lighter option. The tuna steak was also very good, although it was a little overcooked. The food is good and comes in decently sized portions, including the appetizers which are large enough to share between a family. The prices are a little high for what you get, but what else could you expect from a nice restaurant catering towards tourists.

I come here multiple times whenever I'm staying in the area, and I'll even drive from other parts of the OBX just to get a bagel here. The selection is fantastic, and I've never had a bad bagel. Everything I've tried has been delicious and worth the trip. The wait times can definitely be long, especially when they're busy. I do wish they had a better system for letting customers know when their order is ready. An order screen showing the numbers that are in progress and ready would make a huge difference. It can be difficult to hear or know when your number is called. That said, the food is absolutely worth the wait. Seating can also be competitive, but it's worth fighting for a picnic table and enjoying your bagel outside. If you're in Corolla, this is a must-visit.

The buffalo shrimp were the best shrimp I have ever tasted, I have never eaten a softer more tasty shrimp. The fried green tomatoes also rocked. The star of the show were the crab legs AMAZING! 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!
