Not sure where to begin. I have been coming to the OBX for over 30 years. We used to have a favorite that was very close to this place. As of today Dune Street is the new favorite. Came in here to have a quick bite and left ordering almost half the menu. We sat at the bar because they were busy great sign. Bartender was Berry and he was amazing and helped out with some menu choices. We started with the special Tuna Bites ( the absolute best I have had on the OBX or anywhere) the crab stuffed shrimp and grits (the way they turned this into an appetizer amazed me and it was delightful and fresh) and lastly we did the shrimp ceviche with tortillas (super refreshing and fresh great light starter) once we started eating I realized I had to try another special their bang bang shrimp ( amazing they used fresh shrimp with a light batter BANG!) and then I was torn between the special Tile Fish with coconut curry and another fish dish with potatoes. Berry gave his knowledge on both and that led me to one of the best dishes I have ever eaten the Tile Fish tempura with Jasmine rice julienned vegetables and a coconut curry sauce. I would recommend this place a million times over. Even knowing good reviews can make places busier especially down here currently thinking I should withhold this information but food that good needs to be shared with everyone. Shout out their Chef because wow is all I can say.
Absolutely delicious food! Great presentation and service. Thank you to Shane, our waiter.
I highly recommend the puppy drum and the seared ahi. The oysters were great and fresh too! Definitely coming back next year!
Wow! This place is amazing! We sampled the raw oysters, which were divine. The flounder fish and chips were delicious, as was the tile fish special. My husband raved about the Ahi Tuna dish (He said it was the best he has ever had, and he never offers positive feedback on restaurant meals. He gave it a 5 out of 5, so Bravo to the chef.) My dish of the potato crusted puppy drum with the garlic mashed potatoes, broccolini, butter wine sauce, and chili oil was heavenly. The side salad was tasty and fresh according to our friends. We all enjoyed the duck fat fries, which honestly was the reason we chose this restaurant over others. We figured if the chef cares enough to add it to a menu, they care about every detail. Our waitress was Trinity, who sparkled and gave the best advice and attention to our group. This place is one you should book a reservation because they were booked!
FANTASTIC dinner, service and atmosphere. We had a dozen fresh oysters from the special 99 cents a piece. We ordered two of each kind. My favorite was half naked and my husband’s was the herring. We also ordered the duck fried oysters. Wow they were awesome. My main course was shrimp and scallop with chorizo grits and broccolini. My husband had the duck. Both were great. Believe it or not we had room to share dessert. The crème brûlée cheese cake was delicious with whipped cream and strawberries.
High energy vibrant atmosphere, in an unexpected little shop n center. Our server Bridget was so sweet and genuine. Our apps were raw oysters and lobster bisque, which were beautifully presented and equally delicious. My cocktail was hand crafted and delicious. We both had rock fish, which we haven’t had before, but were blow away by the preparation , quality and taste. After raving to our waitress, the head chef came out and we praised him and his staff for the exceptional experience we had. He was very humble and appreciative of our praise. This place is a hidden gem and I wish them continued success!!
