Everything I have ever had at Tale of the Whale has been excellent. Love the She-Crab soup as well as the seafood platters. If you go you won't be disappointed.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been here but will definitely be coming back every year. To be honest I’m not a fan of seafood so the OBX can be tough for me food wise. I had the Steak, Chicken, and Ribs and my wife had a seafood special. We both agreed that this was our best meal we’ve had down here! The staff was super friendly and welcoming!
