Hidden gem! Excellent service and food, not to mention martinis. The bartender is top-notch, or I should say top-shelf. I highly recommend making reservations. The tenderloin melts in your mouth and they have a magical recipe for kale, yes kale.

Best fish & chips on the beach! They offer a nice variety of dishes and daily specials along with fun daily cocktails. The service is amazing too. They do not accept reservations and the wait can be long because they are popular, but I assure you it's worth the wait. If the weather permits, I always sit on the second floor balcony so I can enjoy the view.

BEST on the Outer Banks! I'm glad they are a little further up the road because I would go more than once a week! Amazing frozen custard. I love the regular hot fudge sunday with vanilla, but it's all good.

Great little "hippy vibe" coffee & espresso shop. I love that they support local artisans by displaying their work. Small sitting vignettes with a big personality and positive vibes.

Local artists perform on the outdoor, backyard feels, like you’re hanging with friends with live music. Look for Trick Fly, my favorite local band, they perform regularly. Inside, while I’ve never actually stayed inside has a cool feel to it. I have to be honest and I I’ve never actually been here so I can’t tell you how the food is.
