About

The Local OBX is a restaurant on Old Stoney Road in Corolla, serving casual, sit-down meals in the $$ price range — solidly mid-range for a night out without the higher-end price tag some Corolla spots carry. It's open six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., covering both a midday stop and a full dinner, with Mondays off entirely.

Corolla proper stays a step quieter than the core Outer Banks beaches to the south, and a restaurant that keeps regular lunch-through-dinner hours across most of the week is a genuinely useful thing to have on the list when you're staying in a rental nearby and don't want to plan every meal around a long drive. Reach out ahead of a visit — especially in shoulder season or during a summer weekend — to confirm current hours, since seasonal restaurants up and down this stretch of NC-12 adjust their schedules as crowds ebb and flow.

Price range: $$
Hours: Tuesday–Sunday, 11 a.m.–9 p.m.; closed Mondays
Phone: (252) 597-1163

Sidney was attentive, professional, and speedy. Her sense of humor added to the great experience.

Cool local spot but not a huge beer selection as they were out of 3 drafts when we got there. Food was good.

Restaurant was empty for a good reason. Servers were not attentive at all. Manager didn’t seem to care. We found sharp plastic in the food which is deadly if swallowed. And they tried to still make us pay for the item with the plastic.

My family took out various dishes and one of them was the Beach Noods; the menu said it was Ahi Tuna with noodles, vegetables and an Asian sauce. I thought it would be like a Poke bowl: The Ahi Tuna was good, but it came with noodles and radishes in a brown sauce, and also a red sauce mixed with kimchi. Based on the menu description I didn’t expect two sauces that I didn’t think went together and was expecting more common vegetables. I ate the Ahi and little else. Everyone else enjoyed their dishes, so just my experience.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating to a larger party. They make it work for you. All the food was fantastic and the local beer was delicious.
