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."

John’s definitely lives up to it reputation!! The Mahi Mahi bites were amazing, can’t wait to have those again! The Cajun Shrimp sandwich was so good, that spicy mayo was perfect!! The kid’s favorite was the super thick milkshakes! This was our first time, but it definitely won’t be our last!!
