About this business

The idea of the Rundown cafe was born in 1993 from tropical travel adventures and a love for the fresh exciting foods of the Islands."Rundown" is the name of a coconut milk, fish chowder so named "Because Mon it run down so good." We imported the name and the soup to the Outer Banks, and the Rundown Cafe was born... Over the years, our recipes developed into an eclectic blend of Pacific Rim and Caribbean fusion. We just call it "Island Food". In addition to our main dining room we added the Tsunami Bar, our nostalgic surf th... read more

The Sunday Funday surprise Bloody Mary's are fantastic. We did this last week as well. Went up on balcony and service and view was terrific. Treat yourself and go.

Rundown has been our go to restaurant for years. Most years we go twice in a week. The food has always been excellent, this year, for my Birthday, was my pick. Few things went wrong.

We went on one of the hottest nights of the summer to see one of the kids we know play on the upper deck. Sat down and were immediately handed ice water with lemon. There were 7 of us and the girls up there were friendly and attentive, constantly refilling out water cups. We had drinks and appetizers and both were excellent. It was my first time there and as a local, I'm a bit ashamed to say so! We will definitely be back. Especially outside on the deck.
