''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!...''

''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....''

''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....''

''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....''

''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. Something is just not right. Hate to see such a nice place go sour. Helen and friends if your reading, not like last year....''

''great food,great people,been going there since they opened still one of the highlights for the kids....''

''the sorbet smoothies are out of this world and its a great place for the little ones to play putt-putt just be sure to put on your bug spray before you go...''

''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!...''

''Everything is amazing about this coffee and bead shop.It is so humble and cozy, and the coffee is refreshing and delicious.For children and adults who do not like coffee,there are smoothies available that taste great.The art is also very fascinating,I love coming to this place,I definitely reccomend Uglie Mugs....''

''Breakfast is very good. The dinners are kind of iffy. Would not reccommend for dinner....''

''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...''

''This is a great place to eat, gather and enjoy! And, if you're a Steeler fan, then this is the place for you....''

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

''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....''

''Went for dinner. Food was decent, but the service was slow and poor. Place did not seem very clean. Someone at my table found a dead fly in their salad and the waitress made it sound like this was a common occourance....''

''My wife and I took a V-day trip up to the Outer Banks we stayed in KDH and went searching for a bite the night we drove in. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Everything was great. We went back our second night as well and again perfect again. The two best meals I have ever had under $30. I will visit the OBX again just to eat at JK's....''

''It's a diner in the Hampton Inn parking lot. The food is basically what you'd expect. Decent food, good service, and right there on the beach. I recommend digesting by ''visiting'' the Hampton's pool and lazy river afterward....''

''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!...''

''Have to say I just had the best meal in some time. If crabcakes are on the menu don't hesitate...order it!! Wine list was very inventive and well priced. open kitchen was fun to watch. If you like fine food and want something more than fried fish try Meridian 42, you'll feel like you're above the rest!!!...''

''Have eaten there or had delivery each time we visit the area. Always a good meal - kids love the mozz sticks! Highly recommended....''

''Great little breakfast place with fresh doughnuts, apple uglies, and sandwiches. The apple ugly I had was very good, although I think I received a dud since it was mostly apple free. My wife had a burrito that was very large and very good. The eating area is somewhat small and was not especially clean. Overall, this is a great place to grab some breakfast on your way to the beach....''

''Found this place on the recommendation of a local (Thanks, Gary!). Fell in love with the Kill Devil Hills blend--so much so, that I'm ordering more today. Each cup I drink (back here in the 'real world') reminds me of those summer mornings, sipping freshly brewed coffee and watching the sunrise....''
