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.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website.

Shame
By Andy on 1/21/2009
This restaurant has a prime location - sadly the food, service, and cleanliness were so bad that we would never go back. It is such a shame that the managers do not seem to care about quality.

By Lets hear it for and on 9/23/2008
this plae is awful. We waited 2 hours for a table near the garbage can at the end of the deck. we waited another 30 minutes for our waiter matt to greet us. we informed him we needed seperate checks and he yelled at us no and kept going. we oredered mojitos (( bucks) they were weak and too sweet. our oysters were raw and sour and matt never brought us app plates. our dinner came out and matt never asked us for extra drinks. my wife had a filet well done and it was obviously rare. we had it sent back and it cameback done but with the came sides and microwaved. our plate were never cleaned we got our check had to split it ourselves, including a pre authorized tip for 6 people. after dinner we went to the bar where andy was awesome and now we will come back

The tables were sticky, the server was rude, and the steaks were served cold with congealed sauce. This was the only bad meal we had our entire week and it was memorably awful....

Needs a cleaner!
By Guest on 9/2/2008
The table we were given was filthy, when our server arrived (15 minute wait) she told us she was too busy to clean it!!!!!!!!!! We left without ordering - a good decision judging by other reviews.

Horrible
By Guest on 9/1/2008
A ghastly experience from start to finish, filthy tables, a server that ignored us, cold, badly prepared food - when we complained to the manager she shrugged and walked away. We left without eating our meal - we were afraid of ruining our vacation with food poisoning!

Huge Disappointment!
By EmJ on 8/28/2008
We are not the type of people to write reviews or even get annoyed when we dine out. However, we had such a terrible experience here that I stumbled across the reviews online and decided to chime in. We have been going to Sunset for years and have had enjoyable experiences. Looking back maybe we just drank a good bit before hitting up the restaurant...We booked our usual house by the Sunset in hopes of walking there to eat & drink as we did in the prior years. Our first night in Duck we went to dinner. We sat on the deck hoping for a spectacular sunset, however we were greatly disappointed. Our view consisted of litter stuck alongside their deck, and the smell was not that of the bay but of vomit. The restaurant's deck looked dirty from the serving areas to even our sticky, filthy table. The service was terrible! It took our server forever to even greet us then and even longer time to get our drinks. The food was extremely overpriced and just blah. We did not head back there after that evening and will not consider booking our vacation rental near it again.

Suset grill good view, horrible service
By jess on 8/20/2008
The view at Sunset Grill was amazing! However, one of the bartenders, Tim, was extremely rude to our party, many other parties and even his own staff. He cursed, was condescending and even threw our food away before it was touched. If he is working at the bar when you get there, do yourself a favor and ask for the other bartender Jesse, he is very helpful and funny as is the barback.

Bad service outweighs bayside dining
By Starkey on 8/19/2008
We went out for an early dinner with 16 and were seated immeadiately. After that it went down hill. We order for the kids first so they could be fed and stated so a number of times it still took over an hour to get the food. No complicated orders, just a backed up kitchen and staff. On top they charged above average prices, but I guess that is why it is called a touraist trap.

never again
By an NCBeaches Guest on 8/2/2008
We went as a group of eight as two seperate families. Obviously from the word go our waitress was not concerned about the service she would provide to us because she knew she was going to get the 18% gratuity charged on groups of 6 or more. She was abrupt and rude when asked questions. When the bill came we asked for the bill to be seperated but she refused and said we had to figure out how much each party was paying because she could not do that. The food was OK but not worth the $170 bill for eight people to have dinner! We will not be back again.

Only as a last resort
By Vstrom on 6/30/2008
We have eaten here a couple times, only to be reminded why we don't eat here often. Probably won't be back. Food is lame, everything taste like it came from the frozen food asile of the grocery store. Service has never been overly attentive. We usually go in April or October, but judging by the reviews, it is never very good. To many good places to eat to settle for this place.

Just ok
By an NCBeaches Guest on 3/26/2008
I've gone to this several times as part of a group of vacationers and I must say I prefer the breakfast items over the lunch/dinner offerings. My favorite it the seafood omelette accompanied by a mimosa. I've never had the sushi but the specialty drinks are pretty good. I've had the tuna oscar for dinner and it was just ok as was the steak oscar. We've never had an issue with service and we always travel in a large group of atleast 10. I think the restaurant and the view are quite nice.

By Kay on 9/18/2007
Last week we stopped at the Sunset Grille. Ate outside & throughly enjoyed it. Waitress Wendy was very friendly & attentive. Hamburgers were just the best! Everyone was happy. Would certainly go back.

Slightly disappointed...
By OBX Visitor on 8/25/2007
We stopped @ the Sunset Grille b/c it offered seaside dining. We opted to sit outside. It really is a beautiful spot. The service was good. The food was fair, but the facility itself was not as clean as one would expect. It was mediocre in our opinions.

I don't suggest Fishbone's Sunset Grille....
By allison on 6/25/2007
I had heard wonderful things about Fishbone's Sunset Grill... but all of those things were over-ridden by how absolutely disgusting the restrooms were and the overwhelming amount of flies in the dining room -- probably drawn in by the filth in the restrooms. It looked like the pipes burst at some point and never repaired correctly. Even the ladies rood smelled like a urinal.

I have to say the food was pretty good, despite these complaints, but I had a hard time enjoying my meal when I had to constantly guard my food from the flies. There were six flies on our table at one point! And the worst part was that the manager said that there was nothing she could do about the flies, though she did intend to see that the restrooms cleaned.

By OBX on 6/18/2007
John served us (all 15 of us!) and he did a great job at getting our food out to us quickly. He also had a fun sense of humour and made the meal enjoyable. We just loved sitting right out by the sound - we'll be back!

I was served the fattiest piece of prime rib I have ever seen. When I brought to the attention of the manager, she said that happens sometimes and walked away. It's our last trip to the Sunset Grille.
