New American Restaurants near Kitty Hawk, NC

“We had a reservation and were seated immediately by a server. After several minutes we were approached by the host, who apologized for being on the telephone when we arrived. He assigned a waiter to us and also provided a delicious complementary appetizer of crostini, warm olives, red peppers, roasted garlic and onions and goat cheese, thus eliminating the need to order starters. Our waiter Tom was menu knowledgeable, polite and attentive. We were a table of three and each ordered a different entree. The lamb, steak and pork chop dishes were all cooked to perfection and delicious. The leftovers reheated for lunch the following day still tasted wonderful. If I had to list one downside to our evening, I'd mention that the park bench like booth seats were terribly uncomfortable for the couple of us with little posterior padding! Other than that, a splendid, un-rushed, delicious evening.“

“Asked a local where to have lunch. While she provided several options, we picked Hurricane Mo's. As it turned out, this was an excellent choice. Lunch was superb, the price was good, and the atmosphere perfect. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a locals place with good food and great service.“

“My wife and I were looking for a unique local eatery that stood out. We were looking for unique flavorful food for an early dinner and TRIO looked interesting. As we walked in, the shop was to the left and the eatery was to the right. But, right in front of you is a selection of fine cheeses that would make any charcuterie board jealous. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, we choose to sit inside and we were quickly greeted and brought our drink orders. We spoke to our server about some of the items on their small but delicious menu and we agreed that this odd little turkey and strawberry Panini looked interesting and full of flavor. So we went for the Panini with an iced tea. The tea was herb infused. After taking my first sip I knew that whoever was planning the menu was paying attention to the little details that make a difference. That attention to detail was really evident in the Panini too. The Brie, Pepper jelly, fresh strawberries and turkey came together in the perfect pairing. A pairing that, while outstanding on its own, would have been a true home run when paired with the right beer or wine. That was my mistake not theirs.This is an establishment that I will definitely return to.Once you finish eating, head over to the shop for a great selection of true craft beers and fine wines. They offer true craft beers here, not just the beers that have been bought up by Mega Corp beer companies that are trying to pass off extract flavored beers as craft beers.Do yourself a flavor and make the time to visit TRIO on your next visit to the Outer Banks.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the SaltBox Cafe. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff was very polite and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portion was perfect for me. My coffee was kept topped off and warm. The other patrons that were regulars had a little banter going on with the staff that just added to the charm of this little Cafe. I would definitely recommend it and will return!“

“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.“

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

“This was our second visit to the Beachside Bistro - once in October, and again in late November. We found the food to be excellent! We did breakfast in October and brunch in November. The breakfast burrito (a regular breakfast item) and a selection from the new brunch menu - smoked, pulled pork over fried grit cakes with bourbon bbq sauce are our favorites so far! This hidden gem is well worth a visit!“

“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.“

“Great food and excellent service“
