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."

The Dolphin boat is amazing and the milkshakes are INCREDIBLE!!! Don't leave the Outer Banks without making a stop (or two, or three) at John's.

I already knew the burgers and shakes are delish! Today...I ventured out and had the dolphin boat. Equally delish. Thanks for feeding us well
