Crab, clam and corn chowder
Nichole B.

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.

If you like flies you'll love it there. Crab cakes half filler. Fried oysters mostly breading. Servers were extremely friendly.

Least favorite place I've eaten in NC. Don't recommend. Very expensive. Quality is subpar for the price range.

The cocktails are lovely, try the Corolla Cosmo! Filet was good, shrimp was good also. Key lime pie and cheesecake was tasty. View is nice.
