''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!...''

''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?...''

''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....''

''this food is the best thing going on here? felt like I was eating in a cafeteria? who designed this place? shoot the designer. seems like someone rushed to build this one?...''

''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!...''

''enjoyed the restaurant throughly...''

''this restraunt was ok, but not the best on the island by far. our meal was a bit pricy, and just wasnt what we expected. it was edible, but not anything to write home about. very greasy too....''

''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!...''

''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....''

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

''well, we read all the little newspapers you gather at food lion to see whats going on on the island while you are there. several places we saw ''best bbq on the island'' (i guess since its practically the only place there is not much to compare it to) $40 for a meal for 4 and much much disappointment later, i wished i had just fixed our original planned spaghetti dinner at our rental house. we live close to the bbq capital of NC (woo hoo! lexington nc and the bbq festival!) and i would be asha...''

''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........''

''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!...''

''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!...''

''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....''

''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. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that they were even better than Ruth's Chris and Mortons and on top of that, they are less expensive. this is a MUST Dine, if going to the Outer BAnks...''

''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...''

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

''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....''

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

''Had dinner here tonight after reading reviews here and its a happening place! Went with party of 2 so we skipped the wait and ate at the bar, had conch fritters and the crawfish as appetizers. Very good.
Roasted corn and poblano soup was alos a highlight. Entrees of blackened tuna was good but not as good as the scallops that Shelly had. Great meal - lot of local feel....''

''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!!...''
