First time here, and it certainly wouldn’t be our last — dishes were fresh, and uniquely presented. Honestly, the best Shrimp n’ Grits and Fried Green Tomatoes I’ve had, as those are two go to southern dishes I gravitate towards on most menus! Our server, Melissa was fantastic, and she was great with our 6/8 yr old boys. Honestly can’t say enough good things!

Did not know what to expect but got the tuna appetizer and the shrimp and grits. Hands down it was the best I ever had- with a ton of local shrimp. Service was great. Lots of choices for beer and drink selections. Definitely plan on going here if you like well prepared seafood.

Had *such* a wonderful meal here with my husband and two kids tonight! All the food was fresh perfection. I had the salad special, which had fried shrimp, and my husband had the fish tacos. Flavors were wonderful and everything very well prepared.

We ended up changing plans as a dolphin sightseeing cruise got canceled because of bad weather. So on the way back to the home I thought this looked like a good place and it did not disappoint.

A delightful experience at this restaurant! The fresh fish and delicious cider were a perfect pairing. The Fisherman’s stew, reminiscent of Brazilian Moqueca, was a standout dish we absolutely loved—highly recommended!

I ordered the shrimp and grits. The dish had good presentation but I was a little disappointed with the mild flavor. The sausage was tough and flavorless. It did not taste like the andouille sausage I have had in the past. I most likely would not order this dish again.

I’ll start it out with this, if you’re anywhere in the obx make the trip to mahi mahi’s grill. The Ruben was amazing, what my wife had was really good, shrimp and grits I believe it was. Even my little girls mac and cheese was amazing for what it was our waitress was great and gave us a ton of recommendations for things to do around obx. We will going again anytime we are in obx.

Great place, all of us had mahi mahi in so version. 3 of us had tacos. They are available fried, seared, or blacked. All very good. Recommend seared or blackened over fried (those have more flavor cooked into the fish).
