''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....''

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

''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....''

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

''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!!...''

''well, this was the first restraunt we ate at on our first trip ever to obx. it was ok, a bit pricy, and i was absolutely shocked to find out there was no kids menu!!! so you mean to tell me that i am going to have to pay 15 bucks for a plate of food that my 1 and 4 year old may or may not eat? i dont think so! we probably will not be back due to this. i mean really, who doesnt have a kids menu at the beach??!?!?!?!??!?! obviously dolphin den!...''

''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...''

''After searching for something new for this year's vacation, I felt obligated to give a thumbs up to Top Dog. Last year on our first trip to Hatteras, we stopped here for a few beers and lunch and all 6 of us enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. Our waiter was excellent and it was a great start to an excellent vacation. See you in July!...''

''I have been experiencing the Black Pelican since I was a little girl, many summers were spent in the Outer Banks of NC! The pizza is the best, ever. And is always a stop on the way in and out! Now most people go for the seafood, but families travailing with picky eaters, this is a much favored rest. The seafood is great, and I know my grandpa loves the wine. But how many places serve kids' pizzas on a Frisbee? Where you can run to the sandy beach and play a game before loading back into the car?...''

''geat breakfast and lunches, diners - not fine dinning - but great food and fun, a must stop for anyone in the area....''

''We visited Miller's Waterfront because we thought we would get fresh seafood.. ocean... seafood... Makes sense, right? There was no lobster selection on the menu, I have had better seafood from upstate NY. The service was ok, nothing special, the waiter was not overly friendly. Ambience was nothing special either, except after dinner you can step out on the pier. I would not recommend this restaurant or ever visit again. It was a big dissapointment....''

''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...''

''enjoyed the restaurant throughly...''

''best restaurant in N.C....''

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

''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....''

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

''This has to be the best seafood I have had along with the crab dip! The crab dip was delicious. The fried shrimp were crispy and not greasy. We will be back....''

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

''The secret spot is no longer a secret.their fish tacos are awesome.their scallop plate should be world famous. Can not wait til my next visit to try the Pad Thai........''

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

''Best darn pizza in OBX! Crust is perfect. Atmosphere is even good...most pizza joints have paper plates at best...these guys use nice plates, real silverware, nice glassware...top notch--not too expensive. GREAT service too!...''

''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!...''
