''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....''

''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!...''

''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....''

''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....''

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

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

''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....''

''Stack'em offers one of the best breakfasts I've had anywhere, let alone in OBX. You may pay a couple dollars more than at McDonald's, but you can taste the difference in every bite. Stack'em is one of those rare breakfast spots that does not skimp on the quality of their ingredients- how many times have you eaten in restaurants where the bacon is flacid and tasteless and the sausage has the texture (and taste) of cork. Oh, and the COFFEE!!!... evidently they use a blend from a local gourmet coff...''

''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...''

''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....''

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

''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!...''

''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....''

''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....''

''Ever since I moved out here 7 years or so ago, I have yet to find a better pizza out here....''

''Great place! Excellent products, friendly staff....''

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

''For a restaurant hanging its hat on wine and food pairings, wait staff knowledge of wine and information on why a particular wine was paired with a course was not shared. (Our server mispronounced Alsace.) We love food and wine, and delight in hearing exactly how a Truchard Carneros Merlot brings out the best in beef tenderloin tournados. Alas, we will never know. We do know that a sommelier beats a wine list housed in a three ring binder any day of the week. They are serious about the 6 p...''
