''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...''

''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?...''

''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...''

''Scott & his staff provided us with the most fabulous food for our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary & then for my brother's Wedding.
The crab cakes are the best ANYWHERE! Their Chocolate dessert paired with Champagne was incredible. All the food was fresh, delicious, and beutifully presented. The staff is friendly,and most efficient. You can't go wrong for any occasion or just to drop in & take something amazing home....''

''Terrific NC Pulled Pork BBQ sandwiches! Don't look for ''Atmosphere'' with BBQ people! Good value, tastes great and a beach tradition for us!...''

''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 stopped by the Nags Head location (right next to Kitty Hawk Kites) and we thought it was really good. We had the pork bbq sandwiches, and the sides were really good. I didn't think the prices were that bad for pretty good food. I've paid more for food that wasn't nearly this good. The service was quick too. The only negatives were that the condiment containers on the table didn't seem very clean. That's why I gave it a lower ambience rating. The building could use some fixing up too. F...''

''I have used OBXChefs2go for many different events and have found them very easy to work with. Wes is always available when I have a question. The food is great and they are always very professional. I would recommend them to anyone!...''

''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....''

''The food was fabulous and well presented. The chef knows how to serve Tuna (our favorite) and he's terrific with shellfish too. Double filtered water, was a pleasant surprise; no chlorine!

The only knock is that the physical surroundings need some fine tuning. The wallpaper is peeling and doesn't blend well with the tongue and groove wood paneling in the nect section. Dry wall joints are separating, obviously due to a moisture problem in the building. This however, did not keep us from enjoyi...''

''I recently went to Mulligan's for the all-you-can-eat crab legs and they were amazing. They came out hot and fresh and were delicious. I would definitely return!...''

''The food was very good, atmosphere excellent. We have been visiting the Outer Banks for 15 years, and by far, the best meal was here....''

''Fantastic food! It was very refreshing to find such a great place in Corolla, as many believe the best food is found at the much pricier Duck restaurants. The crabcakes were absolutely mouthwatering; I wasn't a huge fan of the corn salsa served with them, but the remoulade the server recommended was a great twist on the traditional tartar sauce. The tuna was also exceptional. The prices are a bit high (expect to pay $75-$100 for two), but this was indeed the best meal we had during our lates...''

''We used Kelly's to have a small wedding reception in October 2007. Everything was perfect. We will be back every year for our anniversary! The staff was great, the food was great...it topped our wedding day off perfectly. We can't wait to go back!...''

''What a refreshing dinner on the Outer Banks! This Bistro and Martini Bar has a lot to offer! Fresh cuisine prepared with global influence is done very well. The wine list, as well as the special reserve list, is a wine enthusiast's playground! As for the martinis, we started with a rosemary-lemon one and the Big O, we really like the sweet ones. Our server was very knowlegable and attentive, as well as the management. We went back late on a Friday night. The atmosphere had shifted to acco...''

''What happened to the southern charm? She acted as though she didn't have time for any questions I had. Well, I don't have time for rudeness and took my business elsewhere. Apparently, she doesn't need any more business!...''

''We stopped here for lunch last week on the way to our vacation house. The waitress was friendly & the food was very good with nice presentation. Atmosphere in the day time isn't the best, but bet they have some fun there in the evenings with music, etc.. My husband enjoyed their beer selection....''

''My wife and I have been visiting the Outer Banks for years. We have to say that Mako Mike's is, by far, one of our favorite restaurants for a multitude of reasons. The staff has always been friendly, the menu has plenty of cuisine options, and the prices are inline with the other venues in the area. I tend to lean towards the surf and turf specials, while my wife almost exclusively orders the crab legs. The kitchen is quite accommodating of special requests (they have a FANTASTIC bearnaise sauce...''

''Great soups and desserts here; owners are very hospitable. Specials offered daily--lunch and dinner.
Lots of gourmet items to pick up and take home....almost everything you can think of....''

''Excellent, great, wonderful, delicious. They made our party a bit hit!...''

''We normally run down to Bacchus from our house in The Currituck Club - it's just down the road a piece. The sandwiches are fresh, large and extremely tasty. Pick up some of the homemade salsa for your house. Great Cheese assortment, with crackers, toppings, etc. Desserts are to die for! Visit the wine shop. They are very helpful, and have a nice assortment. We have also used them for cottage gift baskets - which are very nice - or, you can order a gift basket to take home as a gift from O...''

''We stayed there during the off-season in late spring and paid $109 for an oceanfront room. Peak-season rates for the same room are twice that. Call me tight-fisted, but I'd never pay that much for lodging. With that said, we enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and nice; however, the cleaning staff didn't pay attention to the ''Do Not Disturb'' sign on the door and kept asking if we wanted towels. Good ocean access....''

''My husband LOVES this restaurant! He loves his German food, and since I can't cook that to his liking, we will stop by here when we're headed for the beach....''
