Very good restaurant with a really nice local waitress (chatty, warm and friendly). We had a lovely light. The batter on my shrimp and scallops was divine. Scallops were delicious! Great chips too.

This place came recommended to us by the Hatteras Realty office and we were not disappointed. Everything, from the seafood to the soups and sides, was fantastic. We also appreciated the generous portions and kid-friendly offerings for the little ones. Great service too! We will be back whenever we're on the island.

We traveled off season, so it was hard to find open restaurants. We stopped here for breakfast. The food was excellent, the staff friendly, fast and helpful.
