Unwilling to accommodate allergies on their outdoor menu. Also, no children’s items available on outdoor seating as well.

Our first time here, it's a great little place on Virginia Dare Trail with a 2nd level open patio area. They have a few tables that accommodate 4 and a wrap-around bench with small tables, which I recommend. Food was fantastic and staff friendly. Owner or manager thanked us, simply but quite sincerely when we left. Family friendly for sure. It's now on our OBX stop schedule for future trips.
