''This place is the most discusting restaurant I have ever been in. It was unclean and the buffet tables were so old and nasty. The wait for the restroom was about 20 minutes and you dont even want to hear about them!!...''

''We had the best time a couple of weeks ago. ALL the staff were WONDERFUL! The food was great and the bartender was funny!...''

''Absolutely fantastic! I have lived at the beach for a long time and have run a couple of Restaurants. This place is a great value and a great taste. The owners are a real nice couple and the food is always good. Say hello to the kids while you are there and tell them that Mike from Island Nautical sent you!...''

''Refresh yourself & family with friends after hot day on the beach in a place that makes you fell not like the one at home [fast-food]. This is a wonderful place. Slow down & enjoy the tme you have here. For the best ice-cream any where, the Village is it....''

''We thought the food was pretty good - ate there for lunch one day. Husband said the Wahoo was fantastic. Crabcake sandwich just so-so. Service was good the day we were there although the management was having a run-in with customers who were evidently walking out on the bill. Always nice to have a little drama with your meal. LOL. Would probably go back....''

''If you are in the mood for tapas, Metropolis is the place. Great wine list, wonderful martini list, and excellent tapas. There are obviously better places in Corolla for a traditional ''dinner'', but it's excellent for its niche....''

''Uncomfortable and unaccommodating. Pretentious and it would not surprise me if the host in the previous post was the owner--I knew him years ago--we worked together for a couple of years and when I saw him a year and a half later, he pretended he did not know me...gimme a break...so many GOOD restaurants on the OBX, don't waste your money here!...''

''What happened???? Food not like last year. Couldn't wait to eat here again, now disapointted. Don't know if new owners took over or what. Hope it goes back to how it was. Was favorite spot to eat.

''The food is always excellent here at The Tale of the Whale. The service is great and the views are too. I highly recommend the crab bisque soup, it is wonderful, as is all of the other food. You should make an effort to stop and eat here when in Nags Head....''

''This was great New York style pizza. I wish we could get it at home!...''

''great steamed shrimp. the atmosphere is a locals bar but interesting. If busy food service can be slow but worth waiting for. If you are looking for a steam bar with local flavor Pop's is the best...''

''The view is beatiful unfortunately the best food we had was only mediocre....''

''I love this place. The Tuna Bites are to kill for, and if you like a good salad, definitely go for the Tuna Bites salad with their house dressing. When I was in college, I'd take a bottle of Journey's End with me to school, and have my parents get one for me to bring back after Christmas....''

''Every year my family vacations on Hatteras Island, and every year we always take a night and go the the Cool Wave Icecream Shoppe. I have to say that a trip wouldn't be complete for me if we didn't stop in and get icecream. The service is always great and the icecream is delicious!...''

''What a refreshing dinner on the Outer Banks! This Bistro and Martini Bar has a lot to offer! Fresh cuisine prepared with global influence is done very well. The wine list, as well as the special reserve list, is a wine enthusiast's playground! As for the martinis, we started with a rosemary-lemon one and the Big O, we really like the sweet ones. Our server was very knowlegable and attentive, as well as the management. We went back late on a Friday night. The atmosphere had shifted to acco...''

''When I called Prime Only Steakhouse, I asked them if their steaks were as good as advertised. The owner told me that they have been compared to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and Mortons.
