''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...''

''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!...''

''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....''

''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....''

''Great little breakfast place with fresh doughnuts, apple uglies, and sandwiches. The apple ugly I had was very good, although I think I received a dud since it was mostly apple free. My wife had a burrito that was very large and very good. The eating area is somewhat small and was not especially clean. Overall, this is a great place to grab some breakfast on your way to the beach....''

''The pizza is great and reasonably priced. The ''eat in'' atmosphere is casual and good for adults and kids. We come every year!...''

''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!...''

''great steamed shrimp. the atmosphere is a locals bar but interesting. If busy food service can be slow but worth waiting for. If you are looking for a steam bar with local flavor Pop's is the best...''

''so much food...such a beautiful view...such nice service! this was the best meal (other than homecooked) we had on the island! we loved this place!!! we will definitely be back for more!...''

''This place has great food with a big menu... sandwiches, salads, wraps, amazing homemade 'chips'... everything is obviously fresh and made to your specific order. Great for families or people looking for an affordable meal. The only problem is their hours; every year when I vacation in Buxton we have to plan a meal there because they have strange hours....''

''This place is simply one of the best places to stay on the OBX. I was expecting a lot after visiting their website and I recieved that plus a lot more. The staff are polite, smart as a tack and take care of you like you were family. The breakfast served is some of the best but the dinner takes the perverbial cake. Chef Billy and Chef Bob know how to get it done. In short if you want the best vacation for you and yours make your reservation NOW!...''

''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!...''
