''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....''

''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....''

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

''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!...''

''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...''

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

''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....''

''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....''

''I am a local of the OBX and love to eat here. Food is consistently good each time I visit. I try new things each time and all is great, from the pizza to pasta and apps. The price is very affordable in comparison with most places on the beach. I've never had bad service, though it might be slower during the summer. Overall I highly recommend....''

''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....''

''We've been going to Cape Hatteras for years. One of the places we LOVE to visit is the Gingerbread House Bakery to get their pizza for dinner and gingerbread cookies or cake for dessert. Their seafood lovers pizza is one of the best tasting pizzas we've ever had. It has lump crab meat, scallops, and other seafood. Yum!!! We also love their Greek Pizza and BBQ Chicken Pizza. The crust isn't quite as good as a good NYC thin crust, but the choice of toppings make it both unusual and DELICIOUS...''

''I hate to tell people how good it is the lines are long enough. Food is wonderful. Limited seating....''

''The new owners sure do have thier act together! everything was definitly 5 star. Food defines traditional and coastal Italian! The wine list is broken down by regions of Italy wich is helpful and very reasonably priced. The service could not have been any better! We were with 2 children and they still managed to treat us like a fine dining table! BRAVO!...''

''We ate at Howard's 3 years ago and looked forward to returning on our vacation this year. The quality of the food has really dropped....''

''Delicious sandwiches, great service, and beautiful views!...''

''We have eaten here several times; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seating is limited and they can get quiet busy but the food is excellent. (I love their breakfast). If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL wedding cake taste theirs - possibly one of the best I've ever tasted and they designed one to our specs - it was beautiful....''

''How unfortunate that the deli changed hands... it is a mere shadow of its previous self. The counter help are not very courteous, and not flexible. Gone are the days of sprouts and hot bread with your salad. Often they run out of things, and are curt about it. The food is average now but the setting is comfortable. Too bad.......''

''Good home cooking and great service. Also, good value!...''

''Ate here back in March of 2006 it was pretty good. Never expected it to be as good as it was since it was a pizzeria on the beach and not in some city....''

''I recently went to Hooters in Kitty hawk, For all of those who rate hooters low please get a life. I actually met my wife from there, everyone there has a very nice friendly personality and the food was excellent all waitresses are busy that is the sign of a good restraunt but they still took the time to show me attention and great service,...''
