“Fantastic food and service! Recommend it for sure.“

“beautiful scenery on the water, great service and the food was excellent“

“This place is out of this world! First‐ our server, Luke, was top notch. He was kind, helpful, and friendly. We ordered the the Chef special which is a sampling of a majority of their their menu. 7ish items. I am from the mountains and not a big seafood fan but we scarfed everything in front of us. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Lastly, the beignets as dessert were delicious! As a vacationer, I would come back to OBX just for this restaurant.“

“The Donughts were legit fresh and amazing! However we were more blown away by the service. My daughter lost her backpack and she asked them if they had seen it. The owner (I presume) personally dropped what he was doing and went to look for it. She found it elsewhere but It is nice to know the world is still full of good people. But seriously the donughts are gooooood!“

“We ate here on Friday Oct. 20. Bartender was super friendly. Highly recommend the clam chowder, best we've ever had. I had the Grouper special and it great. My wife had the Tuna, was super pleased, cooked perfect and not many places get it right. They did. Chef was great to talk to. She explained a lot as we sat at the bar waiting for our food. Backyard bar was our kind of place. The band had to cancel because of rain but It would have been a great place to see one. Will go back next time we are in Duck. Thanks for a great experience.“

“My friend and I wanted to try the new menu at Red Sky and we were not disappointed! The restaurant has recently updated and looks great and very inviting! The food and service were excellent! We had the crab dip and fried green tomatoes for appetizers and they were both delicious! We had the salmon for dinner and then the lemon blueberry cheesecake for dessert! It was all very good and nice size portions! We will definitely go again!“

“I am loving coming back again to steamers! It's so good. Just had a taste of a NC bourbon. It was very nice! Can't wait for dinner!! Burger was great. And my wife had fish tacos which looked epic! Let's see what I choose tonight.“

“I posted my review on X because I honestly loved the food and atmosphere here. Everything is fried, but I think that one day a year, it doesn't hurt and I'm not going to deny myself the experience. As an appetizer I recommend the CAJUN FRIED CHEESE CURDS served with jamaican jerk aioli, it is a dish that I did not know and that my new friends invited me to try. The truth is that they were delicious, to be honest, I would have eaten the entire basket by myself. Another interesting starter is the fried pickles with ranch sauce. My friend can't eat beef, so her favorite is a chicken fillet burger that I was able to try and it is phenomenal. My selection was the FRIED OYSTERSlightly golden fried with spicy remoulade and lemon (fried oysters) more out of curiosity than anything else. They didn't disappoint me, I was already into eating everything fried. But if you don't want that much fat in a single day, there are also raw, baked and grilled oysters on the menu. Another thing I loved is that you can choose not just one, but two sides of hand-cut fries or mashed potatoes (dinner only). Another option is coleslaw (to appease the conscience). I chose the fries and macaroni and cheese to complete the American experience.The service is fast and very friendly. The prices are reasonable. Something I liked is that I ordered my drink half with sugar and half without sugar and that's how they brought it to me. I'm still not used to zero sugar, but that's where I'm at.Observation: I wanted to take my family on a Sunday at 7:45 at night but it was closed. Google says they close at 9 so this really surprised me.“

“Delicious! I think that is the best word to describe the experience. It was packed when I went with my family, and from the moment we entered, the smell of fresh, freshly made food enveloped us. I mention this because I am very susceptible to smells, and my tasting experience begins with aromas. I also have to highlight the service, which is excellent. When you enter they ask you for a table for how many people and help you choose the place. We were served pretty quickly, everything was hot and freshly made. Be sure to order the fries, they have a technique to sauté them with garlic and cilantro and they still remain crispy, they are phenomenal!The nacho starter was enough for me as a main course. My husband ordered the burger in a tortilla. I tried it and it was equally delicious. He was also satisfied.Vegetarian options: Mexican food with vegetarian optionsWheelchair accessibility: The entrance from the parking lot is fully wheelchair accessible.“

“Went for their acai bowls! And hubby got a milkshake. Both very good!! I liked the fact that the acai and the fruit were blended separately so you got layers of flavors. I also appreciated that it wasn’t overly sweet. It was also nice to look in the shop while you waited for your food. Everyone was really nice too!“

“I like that he knew my dietary restrictions since I am on a Paleo diet. He had gluten-free and vegan menus. Between the two he helped me find some things to eat. It is fine dining in Corolla where there isn't much of that. We had lovely date night. We go every year.“

“We have been going to the Rundown Cafe for quite a few years and they never disappoint. They are our top "go to" restaurant in the Outer Banks. They recently renovated and overhauled their menu. So far we like the changes. They still have Fried Chicken Mondays. The chicken is excellent and could possibly be the best meal value in the OBX. Andy was our waiter and he is both personable and efficient. Keep up the great work!“

“This place is flying under the radar. We sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and attentive without being invasive. Great drinks. Delicious meal. More baja or California style tacos which is what we prefer. Loved it! Can't believe it took us so long to go!“

“My girlfriend and I were craving some good pizza but all places were either closed or opened way later in the day, so we decided to stop by Max’s.To start off, the atmosphere was great. We came around 3PM ish on a Thursday and there was only one other person in the restaurant, so it was very casual. We were sat and served within 15 minutes with delicious wings, pizza & beer.The service was great, and the pizza was exceptional. I am from the PA/NY area and finding good pizza in general is tough, but this exceeded expectations.If you are looking for a very affordable, fast dining experience with excellent food while on vacation in OBX, this is the spot for you!“

“The perfect cake for our wedding!Candice was great to work with. She was very responsive and helpful at all times.My husband and I ordered our wedding cake from Sweet Coast Cakes In September 2023; it was the best decision we could have made when picking a wedding cake vendor. Starting with our cake testing, all the flavors were delicious, but the vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream was beyond delicious; it was the best we had ever had. Further, the design of the cake was flawlessly executed.The cake was delicious and gorgeous, and the service was outstanding. We highly recommend Candice at Sweet Coastal Cakes.“

“My husband and I had the opportunity to dine here yesterday, while visiting from Charlotte . Our server was an amazing young man named Jason. When I shared with him that we were extremely pleased by our experience and the amazing food, he shared that he was the son of Liz, the owner, and that his uncle worked there as well. I asked him if I could meet his mother to tell her how pleased we were. She graciously came out of the trenches of the fryer to speak with us. I commended her on her amazing restaurant, food quality , humility and resilience. This place is a definite destination anytime we are in OBX! Food and service were impeccable!!!!! Definitely recommend “

“Great food and service. Finally, a bagel shop that has specialty recommendations which are totally different from each other. Fresh bagels AND ideas. lolThere's a lot of signage though, which provide good instructions but kinda made me feel unwelcome, as though we were bothering the staff by showing up.Friendly recommendation: if you need that much signage, then your setup is neither user friendly nor intuitive.Parking: Limited parking but there's nothing the company can really do about it given the location and surrounding businesses.“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! A lady working at the Hampton Inn suggested the Urban Kitchen and said that of all the places to eat on the Outer Banks this was her favorite. She showed us a listing of all the restaurants and this is the one we picked after asking multiple questions. She did not steer us wrong. Go try it. You won’t break the bank either!“

“I went here all the time this summer with my best friend and it’s so good the smoothies are so good and the açaí bowls are incredible and another this that makes it so good is the vibe on the inside is so relaxed and beach plus the smoothies came really fast and soon after we “

“Cafeteria style. Pancakes were the best. 5/5 for pancakes. 4/5 for omelettes. We got the veggie and gyro omelets. Cheesy and well stuffed. Just needed a little more seasoning. Overall good experience. Definitely recommend this diner and I would visit again.“

“Enjoy dinner here with beautiful views of the sound. The waitresses are phenomenal here making you feel at home. The food is super fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the bathrooms are as well.I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the food but it was amazing. Especially the Chana masala.“
