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

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

''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....''

''This has to be some of the best BBQ I have ever had. These guys really know what they're doing. We had the pulled pork, ribs and fried chicken and all were excellent. The side dishes are even better. That night they had brunswick stew, collard greens and chicken and dumplings. They were better than mama's. Prices were great too-most of the entrees were around $10. Service was friendly and the location is close to everything. Highly recommended....''

''I can sum this place up in two words - ONION RINGS! They are delicious! What a delightful little find this place was! Great place to grab a quick burger or ice cream. Oh yeah, did I mention the ONION RINGS????...''

''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!...''

''My girlfriends and I found this wonderful place strolling thru Manteo. We loved it! The food is just wonderful and the service is great, too! Don't miss this one!!...''

''This is a ''must do'' restaurant for lunch and we enjoyed it several times during our stay-- the decor , service, and food was always ''ship shape''-- fresh,beautifully presented, and delicious! It is one of our favorite places to dine at the Outer Banks--we encourage you to make it yours as well! The Sanderling Inn is First Rate!...''

''My daughters wedding reception was held at the Captain's Table. I cannot rave enough about the restaurant, the staff, the owner or the awesome meal that was served. I whole heartedly recommend the establishment. Donna, the owner, is one in a million. She went way out of her way to provide excellent service and even pulled a miracle cake doctor out of her bag when the wedding cake that was provided by a third party was a pile of mush....''

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

''We vacation one week per year at the Outer Banks. It always a treat for us to dine at Henry's. Breakfast 3-4 mornings each week. We tried it for dinner on our last trip. Splendid prime rib!! Went to a ''pricier'' restaurant for the 'anniversary ambience', spent 3 times more, and were not as happy as we would have been at Henry's. Will continue to go many years to come!...''

''The findogs are excellent, as are the subs -- try the italian. The beer list is long and good. The service can use a lot of work. After you are served, good luck on getting refills!...''

''The best place in the world to get away from the world. If the weather is good and you can get outside... shoes off... sun on your back... priceless!...''

''i used to work there and i can say that every thing is to perfect you know. the food the every thing is great if you go there ask about ace ....''

''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....''

''Gotta try this one-simply fantastic food and a unique atmosphere. Always find locals in here.........''

''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 love this place. The Tuna Bites are to kill for, and if you like a good salad, definitely go for the Tuna Bites salad with their house dressing. When I was in college, I'd take a bottle of Journey's End with me to school, and have my parents get one for me to bring back after Christmas....''

''The Fish House is a great local seafood restaurant. Don't let the paper plates and plastic silverware fool you - they know what they are doing! Fish and seafood are served here ... my favorite is the seafood pasta. Yum! Dining area is a bit crowded and very casual....''

''Everything here is good, esp the wraps!...''

''A great chain restaurant. Good food, drinks and reasonable prices....''

''Diamond Shoals is my favorite restaurant on the island! I am very picky when it comes to seafood, and there is always something on the menu that I want! Its a great little restaurant, and its always interesting to find out what country your waitress is from!...''
