Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

EXTRAVAGENT!

I ate at mack daddys last night with my family. I would reccomend the alaskan snow crab legs any day. My and my. Family also enjoyed playing trivial pursuit while we were waiting for our food. The waitress was excellent on service it was like she knew exactly when I was about to run out of sweet tea. the only downy was that you couldn't here the TV, but you can read the captions so the not all bad. I LOVE CRAB DADDYS

Better than ever~
By an NCBeaches Guest on 6/15/2008
I have eaten at MackDaddy's since the first day they opened and all I can say is it is better than any other year we have eaten there! The Shrimp and Grits are faboulous, the crab cakes are superb, the crab dip was mouth watering, the bread, the tea, EVERYTHING! All of the sauces that accompanied the meals...oh yeah, the salads rocked! Only one problem, we had no room for dessert, but we will be back again and again!!!!Yum yum yum!!!!

Recently we visited and the food was scrumptious! The only disappointment was in the chewienss of the beef. The preparation was good, but the meat was not so tender. We'll be back anyhow. The seafood was fantastic! So were the appetizers! And everything that accompanied the dishes like the veggies and the potatoes!

I've had MANY medicore meals on beach vacations and wanted to avoid it this time. I knew we had a babysitter and was going to have a rare evening out without children. I did some web searchs and found MACK DADDY'S. Based on other reviews, we went there and had AN EXCELLENT meal. The service was A+, the food was WONDERFUL. My husband and I are big eaters and it was a nice surprise to have a nice meal that wasn't some dainty fancy portion. Will definitely visit again.

This may be the only place on the island where the dishes are ''designed'' by a chef and don't consist of just fish with two sides. Portions are generous, but not impossible to finish. My wife had the pecan encrusted fresh catch and I had the tuna; both were excellent with unique flavors. The atmosphere is nice, but also fun with paper table cloths and crayons at each table. This was a big plus in keeping our 18 month old son occupied. The only downside is that the prices were in the high range for the area ($17 - $23)and the service was a little slow for a mostly empty restaurant at 5:00 pm. Overall, this is a great place with courteous staff and excellent food.

first timer
By dennis on 9/13/2007
Our family visits the Outer Banks yearly. This is the 8th year we have visited. Today was our first visit to Mack Daddy's. I can honestly say it was the best dinner we have ever experienced on the Outer Banks. Our visit to Mack Daddy's was by accident. We were originally planning on another restaurant until reading the reviews. The portions are excellent and the food is delicious. We will return.

I just ate at this place not too long ago. It was wonderful! I've never had food this good in my life. Friendly people and excellent chefs. They are most likely the best chefs on the Island. I encourage everyone to eat if you are in OBX. Great food and great prices!

Best food of the vacation
By Linda on 7/21/2007
Excellent food. I had the catch of the day with crab meat and my husband had the meatloaf. The fish was perfectly cooked and the crab was fresh and delicious. The meatloaf was a step up from what I make at home. And the black and tan my husband ordered was the real thing. Wish we'd discovered this place sooner.

This is definitely one of the *best* places to eat in Avon. The food is delicious and very filling (generous portions). Friendly wait staff, clean interior, pleasant decor... we left full and satisfied. One minor complaint, which may not not bother everyone - the soda (Coke) was in a pitcher so it tasted a little flat. Other than that, Mack Daddy's gets 5 stars across the board and is highly recommended!

By Jeff on 7/17/2007
The meal was tremendous, the service great and the presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend Mack Daddy's. Any trip to Hatteras would be a waste without visiting Mack Daddy's.

AWESOME FOOD!!!
By Pigman on 7/6/2007
We discovered Mack Daddy's 3 years ago on vacation, and we go back every year. It is always one of the highlights of our trip. We found a menu from Mack Daddy's in our car several months after vacation, and just reading it made us want to drive the 8 hours just to eat there again.

Give us what we paid for.
By a Guest Reviewer
Ate at this restaurant 08/01/2006 and were not given salads with entree's when they were supposed to be included. Asked twice if a salad was included but were told no. Waiter charged $13 for a salad to go with the entree. Owner was unwilling to take anything off of the bill when we were not provided everything we paid for.
