This is everything Nags Head is supposed to be about. The view and the atmosphere are amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and the setting is soooo relaxing. The food is pretty good and 10 cent shrimp for happy hour can't be beat. For Nags Head they have a great selection of beers though my wife feels they could improve the... More

The burgers & happy hour is the best!!! You can't beat the views and the atmosphere being right on the pier/beach. Every waiter/waitress is pleasant and friendly and live entertainment is great!!!

Sit at the pier and drink a cold one. Their food is good and reasonably priced. They received the 2012 "Best local hangout"...stop there for a meal or drink and you'll know why!

The ten cent shrimp, can't be beat, and the service is great. They really have a good thing going on, and hope they get larger in time. I hit them up, three or four times, when I head down to the beach, it's a must, for me. Good people, and good times, and the surf sounds great. I love the... More

You can't beat the 10 cent shrimp during happy hour. I have been there several times. I can't say I have tried anything else there but I will say I have never seen anything served that looks like that picture! Great news for 2013, due to popularity, they have expanded the restaurant area. Looking forward to it but it is... More

More a bar than a grill. Loud TV and mostly regulars at the bar. Almost all the food is fried. They were able to create a grilled fish plate for my wife, but it was a special order.

Nice spot to chill out at beachfront and grab some good local food. The location is awesome and the food is good. Try the fish tacos.....they are very tasty.

Love it. Great place to relax at OBX. Super friendly. We always gave a great time when we go. Happy hour 10 cent shrimp is a must. The views can't be beat. Plus it's fun to see what fish everyone is catching on the pier. It has become a South Nags Head favorite for our Pioneer Court gang.

This was our first stop once we reached The Outer Banks. We just had hot dogs, fries and beer but the view was exactly why we had been driving for five hours :)

This place is worth the visit for happy hour and the 10 cent peel and eat shrimp. Beach front very laid back atmosphere. We returned for lunch twice for burgers. Fries are good too, I would probably not order the sweet potato fries however. They were soggy. One of our lunches was take out. The order was made while we... More
