30+ DELICIOUS OUTER BANKS RESTAURANTS FOR YOUR OBX TRIP

Although we didn’t even scratch the surface as far as eating at all the best restaurants in the Outer Banks, from our personal experience and the great tips from the locals and others who reached out to us online, we’ve got you covered with a comprehensive list down below!

From waterfront restaurants, to beach shacks, tiki huts, cafes, breweries and bistros, there’s endless places to eat in Outer Banks during your NC beach vacation for all members of your traveling party, and plenty of kid-friendly OBX restaurants too!

FISH HEADS BAR AND GRILL

For us, Fish Heads Bar and Grill is quintessential OBX. Think laid-back and chilled local vibe, killer ocean views from on the pier, fresh seafood, family-friendly, live music, and 15 cent shrimp during happy hour 4-6pm every day – yes, I said 15 CENT SHRIMP.

You know a place is popular and good when there’s literally a line out the door, but the delicious Acai bowls at the end will make it all worth your while. You’re at the beach, be sure to grab yourself a smoothie bowl. It’s the OBX way.

THE SPOT BOX

OUTER BANKS BREWING STATION

If you’re like us and are always up for a good local brewery, especially a family-friendly one that serves food, then consider the Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills for a meal, and a drink or two!

At Tortuga’s Lie you’ll find a cool beach vibe and it is suggested you sit at the bar, order Cayman Crippler drinks, and pair with their spiced steamed shrimp. Great fish tacos and fries too!

TORTUGA’S LIE

FRESH FIT CAFE

This Outer Banks cafe is a health-oriented cafe and juice bar. They serve breakfast and lunch daily with an awesome waterfront setting, and we enjoyed our hearty omelettes – one of the best we’ve had actually – and our kids their choc-chip pancakes.
