About this business

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON, Thank you for another great summer! An Outer Banks tradition, John's has been a favorite with locals and vacationers since 1977! Serving Fresh Tuna and Fried Dolphin served with homemade tartar sauce or fresh made cocktail sauce. Also available many flavor of malt, fresh fruit milkshake and other tasty ice cream treats. John's gives free ice cream to dogs, horses, rabbits, skunks and any other type of pet that you would bring to John's would earn you a "puppy cup."

I have been lucky enough to come here 20+ years. It never disappoints. A dolphin sandwich with chocolate milkshake - the ultimate indulgence. I've sent friends here for years and they have always been happy!! We live outside D.C. so it's no easy feat to get here - but make it a priority when we're down in OBX. If you like good, honest, no frills beach food - this is the place for you. �
