We love Goombay's! We dine there at least twice on every trip to OBX. My favorite dishes aren't for dieters though. All in our group who had the Rasta Pasta loved it. I prefer to get it with just scallops instead of the chicken/scallops combo. The scallops are big, juicy and tender and cooked perfectly. The Jazzy Chicken is also... more

Great beach bar/restaurant. Had the crab dip -- tasty. Nutty grouper was wonderful, husband had mixed grill of seafood and loved it. Kids loved the drinks (funny toys in the glasses) as much as the adults. We were going to try other beach restaurants and I read reviews on Tripadvisor that made me reconsider. We went to Goombay's instead and... more

I am a fan of anything cheeky and am a BIG fan of drinks that are fun. Goombays has some of the best tasting drinks but also the best presentation of these drinks! They are for the adults AND kids so your kids will be very entertained as well. The food though, not so much - but take into consideration... more

We love Goombays. It is one of the restaurants open if you visit OBX in winter. The food has a nice Caribbean/Mexican flair. It is always good. Great fun atmosphere, good for families. Good service, good value, good food. more

My husband and i were up for something new and off the beaten path and Goombays came up as a local favorite. We loved the atmosphere and one room dining area and the laid back feel. However, the food was nothing but laid back. We had blackened Rockfish with a corn salsa with fresh avacado and it was fantastic. Wonderful... more

We went to Goombays because it was across the street from our Condo. Lucky us! The kids loved the fish tank and the pop corn shrimp. the adults loved the big selections of beer and the Smash drink. I actually had the Kingston dish and found it good, not too sweet, nice spice & the bananas work well with the... more

Very disappointed. Ordered a pound of steamed shrimp and they were very hard to peel which indicates to me they were over cooked. My companion ordered the tuna rueben which came out all pink inside the tuna and not as ordered. Upon the second try at prepairing the rueben the bread was so soggy it was virtually falling apart. The... more

Fourteen of us went to Goombay's in July, 2008. Great service, great food, terrific ambience and lots of fun for the kids. Check out the ceiling and how it makes you feel as though you are dining underwater. Kids get fun alligator and shark straws with their drinks. I LOVED the parmesan scallops. Menu could use a few more non-fish... more

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat on our last night in the Outer Banks and decided to try Goombays. It was a pleasant surprise. The food that we ordered was prepared as requested, came out quickly and hot. Everything was fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed their Hatteras Style Clam Chowder which had a bit... more
