“Kind and accommodating employees serving refreshingly healthy options for lunch and dessert. I’m loving the hummus veggie wrap with a jalapeño corn side. So good!My 10yo thinks the banana strawberry smoothie isn’t sweet enough but I’m not upset about it. That tells me the ingredients are natural and I need to curtail her candy intake on the heels of Easter.Vegetarian options: Meat can be omitted and quesadilla and salads stand good on their own. Extra veggies can be added to everything my family looked at for an upcharge.”

“Jacob is an absolute GEM!! I met him when he trained at my particular Starbucks in Williamsburg, VA. He said he was training for the Starbucks in the Outer Banks, but I didn’t catch which one. If you have him, cherish him! Thank you again, Jacob and I will definitely be paying it forward.”

“I stopped in after a long day of work and ordered a complicated order. The staff had no issues with making my order and were very quick. After ordering and getting my drinks, the manager noticed I had my youngest daughter in my arms, and my hands full with the drinks, and offered to bring my food to my work van. I am very pleased with my experience, and the food is always been outstanding. I highly recommend Jersey Mike’s in Southern Shores shopping center, and applaud their staff. Thank you so much.”

“Cassie at the counter and the other two gentlemen who make the food provide the most top tier customer service one could ask for. Excellent service with a smile, genuine kindness, and attention to detail in the preparation of the food goes a long way in ensuring retention of clientele and I hope they get shown the appreciation and acknowledgement they deserve from top level management as well as other customers.”

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

“Inca Mocha ? Bathroom is always clean. The art is really vibrant with a wide range of price points. Outdoor & indoor seating along with some upstairs balcony seating. Only thing to improve is getting some bike parking to lock a bike up. I've been many times & they've proved they are consistently good as well.”

“If you want an absolutely delicious, convenient and extremely fun meal, reach out to Outer Banks Boil Company. Every single one of us -- and there were 15! -- dug in and enjoyed for more than an hour. Don't hesitate to add this to your experience!”

“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!”

“Back today, softshell crabs and steam oysters. The best! Sorry on photo, started eating before the photo.Great service. Fresh, and very good soft shell crab. Steam oysters best I have had in the past year. Big plump oysters from this immediate area.”

“THIS place has our hearts and tummies pleased beyond measure! My youngest daughter, Hannah, has Down Syndrome. She was treated like the princess from the beautiful staff. Each time we came into dine, they knew her name. Plus, the food is fabulously freshly made and delicious. Way to Go!!!”

“Overall, I had a mixed experience. While the porkchop had good flavor, it was unfortunately overcooked and a bit dry. However, the smashed potatoes were excellent, offering a savory complement to the main dish as well as the fried mac and cheese. The service was exceptional; the waitress was friendly and accommodating, even going the extra mile to include a generous piece of cake to make up for the dry porkchop.The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful, especially as I dined upstairs, which provided a refreshing change of pace and offered a unique view of a small backyard through the window. Despite the culinary misstep with the porkchop, the overall experience was pleasant, thanks to the attentive service and enjoyable ambiance. Highly recommend all their deserts.”

“Found this place a few years ago stuck in traffic on the way out so figured why not grab some coffee and breakfast. Great little spot. Our most recent visit for the weekend we got coffee and breakfast each day. The staff is still as friendly as I remembered years ago. We opted to get our dog a pup cup this time. She loved it. Haven't had anything I didn't like yet. We'll be back not sure when but we will be.”

“Got the burger and was excellent. The steak salad was above average.My kids really liked the chicken tenders and fries.The Mac and cheese was a bit bland.Service was great!”

“We ordered inside and sat outside in the back because we had our dog with us and Arts Place has a wonderful backyard for furbabies! When our food was ready they called us to come up front to pickup, the inside dining room was full. The burgers were delicious as always. We stop here a few times a year!”

“Quality, organic, ultra fresh & yummy raw ? vegan foods & cold pressed juices ?? lovely spot! Thank you for feeding us! We recommend juices, wraps & buddha bowl”

“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.”

“This is our go-to restaurant whenever we are in the area. The food is magnificent and the atmosphere cozy. Our server tonight, Justice, was a delight-friendly, attentive, and overall helpful. Great dining experience!”

“The tostada provided an intriguing experience with its unique texture, becoming delightfully soggy with the sauce. Despite this unexpected twist, it contributed to an overall enjoyable meal. However, the real star of the show was the coconut pie; its deliciousness alone would warrant a return visit. Highly recommended!”

“BACON PEPERJACK BURGER, FRIES AND GRAVY... $9.46 TOTAL.Fries were frozen but were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They appear to use a dusted/crushed salt as opposed to more course traditional fine table salt. The dusted approach has the entire fry surface covered but never at the expense of being over salted. They got the science right on the fries few places figure this out and for the record frozen fries almost always have a snappier bite than fresh i have no issues with frozen fries. Kudos!Burger was well cooked and flavorful... no fancy bun or anything so this isn't gourmet burger its just a proper burger cooked properly, which I think makes this place 5 stars as the price after tax was very good considering the economy and touristy location.Good parking, order sent to your table, servers check up on you. Good seating design no log jam areas and plenty of intimate 2 person tables.I mean... I could disect it further but what's the point I already highly recommend this establishment.”

“My family and I haven’t been to OBX in about 10 years. We stayed in Corolla for a week, and found Driftwood Coffee Co within the first day of arriving. Safe to say that all 10-12 of us went 3-4 times EACH during our week stay ? Coffee is delicious. Very friendly service. Owner is extremely kind, and very talented! She displays her paintings around the shop as well as her jewelry. Come to find out, the shop has only been open since April. I have a feeling they will continue to do very well during the summer months. We will be back!”

“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.”

“Best Carolina BBQ sandwich I’ve had and everything just hits and hits hard. I drive two hours from VA Beach to eat here and get the taste of home. Worth the wait times when busy, for those who are upset about this and that coming out first.. understand it’s not a sit down restaurant with servers, ya order and they make it and sling the next ticket. This place slaps. No Cap!Kid-friendliness: It’s outdoors! Bring the kids, pop a squat and enjoy. Heck, if tables are all taken up, take your beach towel, find a spot and chow down.”

“We had the Baron Von Ladles and Loaded Potato Soup. Great soup, and the sandwich was awesome. Wish there was a location closer to our home, but we will be back and highly recommend.”

“I pass this cute little spot to and from home everyday and finally stopped! I'm glad I did, so cute inside, great quaint beachy vibes, and friendly service. I had the March Mocha and chose the perfect drink for myself! I also loved that it's a raised building with an elevator so it is accessible to ALL!”
