''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....''

''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....''

''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....''

''i've had amazing sushi and i've had terrible sushi and this restaurant is in between.

there is nothing special about it. the fish isn't any fresher because we live at the beach. they are consistently mediocre...which i'd say is a good thing given the potential for disaster with sushi. i don't have high expectations of what i'll get - but i've never had a piece of fish here that i deemed questionable either. in short they satisfy the cravings i have between trips to dc or nyc for something ex...''

''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????...''

''Every year when we go to the OBX we go to Dune Burger at least twice that week! One year my husband stayed home and wanted me to bring a cooler of Dune Burgers back to NJ! You can not go wrong eating here between the great food and excellent prices....''

''This place has coffee I still dream about, and in the strangest, most delicious combinations. I had a frozen mocha with coconut - it was awesome....''

''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!...''

''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....''

''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...''

''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....''

''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?...''

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

''Love this place! As an owner of a beach house my friends usually ask were to go for good food and this is definitely on the list! Always good service and wonderful food. The beer is good too!...''

''They are so friendly there and the food just completes our outer banks vacation....''

''There is normally very little staff on hand to assist you, but the food takes half the time to arrive at your table as other places. A little paint and decoration would help this place....''
