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 am local and have been going ever since I was a small child. John's never disappoints, the food is great and very consistent. Always great to stop by and see the place packed, John's is an OBX legend. Go grab a dolphin boat and the best shake on the beach. Keep killing it guys, thank you for always being on point!

John's is the best. Great service, great food! Nothing better than a Mahi bucket or sandwich to finish off a great day at the beach! Don't forget a signature milkshake of course...

The wait can be long but it is 100% worth it. Dolphin sandwich, spicy crab, spicy shrimp...haven't had a bad meal yet. It's a must stop in the OBX. Don't forget the milk shake

Thank you Patrick
