About

Red Sky Casual Dining & Cocktails sits right on Duck Road, the main route through this walkable soundside town, serving up casual American fare and a solid cocktail list in a laid-back dining room. It's the kind of place that fits Duck's low-key, upscale-casual character — no pretension, just a comfortable spot to sit down after a day on the beach or wandering the boutique shops along the boardwalk.

The menu leans toward approachable, crowd-pleasing dishes with a full bar and cocktail program alongside it, priced in the moderate range typical of Duck's dining scene. Open six days a week, Red Sky closes on Sundays, so plan accordingly when mapping out a week of Outer Banks dining.

Duck itself rewards a slow visit — park once and walk to the sound, the shops, and dinner. Red Sky's spot on Duck Road puts it within easy reach of the town's compact commercial stretch, making it a straightforward add to an evening that also includes a walk along the Currituck Sound boardwalk.

If you missed the Taste of the Beach event at Red Sky this week you missed a terrific affair! The folks at Red Sky put on an awesome “Down the Rabbit Hole” Alice in wonderland themed dinner show. As good or better than any New Years Eve party event, it featured a five course meal of fabulous appetizers each course accompanied by one of a kind drinks. Staff, and many Red Sky regulars, costumed themselves in Mad Hatter styled outfits. Awesome affair! Don’t miss it next year!

Place is clean and cute. Server was knowledgeable about the menu. He was attentive, enthusiastic and lent to a great laid back vibe. He was not surprised at how much we liked our food! The gentleman that sat us sings like an angel but will deny it was him. Next time I’m going to ask him to put on his fave playlist to sing to. We got to see two chefs on the way out (open kitchen) let them know that the poke bowl, shrimp and grits and healthy grain bowl with added mahi were so filling and delicious and just tasted healthy!! Too bad it’s our last night here. We will revisit. As two people who have been in the restaurant biz forever, it was so nice to be able to just enjoy and not be annoyed. Just go. Stop checking other places. This is where you want to be.

Wonderful staff and tasty meals. It was our first time trying Red Sky and we are 100% coming back. The fried green tomatoes with pork belly was incredible along with our entrees.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Red Sky. Our server was super helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. I had the chopped salad with blacked chicken, and it was excellent- also huge! My husband had the burger, which had pimento cheese and bacon on it, which was also extremely good and messy! A definite sign of a great burger! We look forward to returning!
