In a choice between JK's and any other steak restaurant on the east coast, I would choose JK's hands down. Way better than Outback, and much less expensive than Ruth's Chris. Their mashed potatoes are great, and so is the steakhouse salad with homemade bleu cheese dressing.

Atmosphere was nice, but on the "OK Scale". I didn't see any overtly high-end details--there was paper on the tables for goodness sake. My steak went home with me for the dogs. It was that bad. Too much gristle, too much money. Even the baked potato seemed to either be waaay over cooked, or possibly left from a previous meal.... More

JK's is a great spot in the OBX. If you need a break from the super beachy casual restaurant scene and want something more upscale, this is the place for you. I had a very relaxing and delicious dinner there. Their steaks are awesome, and their wine list is great. Definitely recommend.

Filet was delicious, prices too high. Not good for average person to try to afford the food. We almost left before ordering after seeing the prices. Knew some in our party might be able to afford the prices. Someone else had made the reservations.

Let me jump right in on my experiences with JK's in KDH. 1. Prices high for what you receive. $26.00 for 2 skewers of grilled shrimp(10), green beens and rice pilaf. Food was good tasting...just overpriced. 2. Service was TOO attentive, at the point of being annoying...some people might enjoy the constant attention.....I just want to enjoy my food.....If I...

Service was very good. I had cobia with a chipotle sauce. It was good but the sauce wasn't very flavorful and the green beans on the side weren't cooked quite enough. The bread is commercial bread so I skipped that. My husband, who loves beef, had a giant ribeye that was $45! It wasn't worth the amount we spent and... More

The meal is excellent! We went 3 years ago on our last visit to Duck, NC and just had to return to see if it was still good. Steaks were done perfectily. Veggies were fresh and hot bread was delivered to the table. Wait staff were very knowledgable. Definately a place to go back to!

Fine atmosphere is second only to its dinner offerings. I had the petite filet mignon. I’m not sure why they left a large steak knife, as the fork was more than adequate to cut through the beef. Everything was cooked to my liking. I only wish I had a larger appetite as the dessert menu needed to be sampled. The... More

Loved this place. We try to hit it every visit. Hearty food and wonderful wine selection. Give it a try when you are in the mood for red meat or some mouthwatering ribs!

High end quality with comfortable setting. Petite filet was delish and just the right size. Martini's were well done. Elegant dinner venue.
