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

''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....''

''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 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????...''

''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...''

''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....''

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

''My soon to be hubbie, Tyler, always has to have an appetizer which is like a meal all by itself; loaded French fries with cheese, bacon and a great ranch dipping sauce. After the fantastic teaser, we had a main course of Queensland Chicken ?N Shrimp? (Seasoned and grilled, over fettuccine Alfredo, topped with a light lemon sauce); which was a bit spicy for me but I don?t have a stomach for spicy foods so for the average American I would assume that it is a mild spice and nothing to worry over, i...''

''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?...''

''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 Butcher Block is the ONLY place to buy steaks at the beach. The quality is unmatched by anyone else here. Excellent service and an ultra clean shop. They also are the only Boar's Head Deli in Nags Head. You've gotta try this place. The sandwiches are awsome. Great job Butcher Block!...''

''I recently visited majik beanz on my way through the outer banks i got there right when the opened im an early bird and love a fresh brew of coffee in the morning.

''Good food, even the kids enjoyed it. Margaritas were excellent. Looking forward to make it an annual visit....''

''This has to be the best seafood I have had along with the crab dip! The crab dip was delicious. The fried shrimp were crispy and not greasy. We will be back....''

''Overpriced mediocre food - horrible service 2/17/2008
Reviewer: Russ from Kill Devil Hills
True story. Where do I begin? Waiter was inexperienced and service was bad. Food was mediocre at best. We had an almost raw hamburger delivered to the table for our child. When we asked for a properly cooked one - we received attitude from the manager and the owner's daughter. We never received it and then asked that it be removed from the bill. The owner's daughter came to the table and actually said...''

''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!...''
