If you want fresh, sweet seafood and courteous people to serve you, then this is the place. I consider it the best seafood at the OBX.

She crab soup is amazing and wedge salad is huge, enough to share. We arrived close to closing and were treated as if it was early dinner, not rushed or made to feel like we needed to get out as some places do. We had the fish duo and ribeye and both were very good. Would definetly go back.
