My husband and I ate here tonight and I have no negative comments. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, plenty of room and great food. I had the steamed shrimp with mashed potatoes and the vegetable of the day today was broccoli (and if I could fix like this, I would eat much more often), my husba
This place never disappoints. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always a stop. Seafood is fresh and local. Can’t beat the atmosphere- beautiful sunsets on the sound/ to live music on boardwalk while you wait. Expect to wait a bit- it’s always packed- but there is a nice bar around back to hav
Amazing food, prices and service! We had a group of 12 and called ahead. We were seated quickly and received our food quickly as well. Our waiter Tyler was efficient without being intrusive. One of the best dining experiences I've had!
Friday evening, 8pm, the hostas said an hour and a half wait, but you can sit at the bar. We can do that. Very nice bartender, Bar B. She got us set up with drinks and our order. Nice atmosphere. Food arrived and wow. Generous servings and the food was amazing. I had the stuffed flounder and th
Had local favorite, crab meat and shrimp au Gratin, Tale of the Whale special and hot crab dip with extra pita. We only waited an hour by opting to eat at bar section. It is the best restaurant in Outer Banks. I came here on recommendation. There is an outside bar with live music at the gazebo s
Tale of the Whale was a great restaurant to dine in at. The food was unbelievable with a great amount. The quality and quantity was incredible. The wait time was said to be 30-40min. But, it only took about 20min. The live entertainment was great while waiting for our table. I do recommend to go and
9-28-2023 - Decided to see if The Tale of the Whale was really as great as our first visit, little knowing this was their last evenning of the 2023 season. It was packed upon opening, so we chose "first available" which was in the bar area and Lo & Behold our waitress was once again Robin, and we
Brought our party of 15, got reservations. Always nice to get reservations for such a large party. They have a large room for the big groups, which was completely packed. The server was great, worked hard to get everything right and timely. The meal took awhile to arrive which is expected with s
A superb way to end the week. Our server, Jordan, was a delightful girl and made the whole experience even better. Shrimp and grits was a great twist on the classic with a rich sauce. Those mashed potatoes are addictive. Arrived at 4:45 and the parking lot was full. Name on the list for first availa
Amazing Restaurant!! Our Favorite go to fine dining restaurant. It gets extremely busy every night so get there early! You can do call ahead seating for LARGE parties only. You can also sit and eat at the bar inside which we do sometimes but if you do then you have to have you WHOLE meal there. Just
Seated quickly despite massive crowds waiting. Food was amazing but a bit pricey. Only complaint is the room for large parties is absolutely too loud. Have to shout to communicate with your own party.
Our favorite restaurant at the beach. Highly recommend trying the coconut shrimp! Can get crowded but service is extremely efficient.
Aside from the long wait to get a table, this place is amazing! Live entertainment outside on pier, outside bar to order drink while you wait, our waiter was fantastic and super funny. Food was outstanding!!! A must go at OBX!!!
Great restaurant and delicious food! We called early in the day for a call ahead reservation for our large group of 17. They told us to come right before 4 and they could seat us. Food was fantastic all around and our waitress Dana was very patient with our large group. Highly recommend!
🐟 Supremely Delectable Fish 🐟
As an immigrant from an Island and a Marylander, I'm very picky about fish. Usually, most people assume you need to bring out the fish flavour. You are NOT!
You have to integrate the fish with seasoning/ spices/ light sauces/ and other ingredients. This is an extremel
Oh how I wish 10 stars were available!!! This place is incredible - seriously, one of the best in the OBX. If you want to eat here, I highly recommend being at the restaurant at 4:30p to put your name in. The restaurant doesn’t open until 5p, but it will immediately fill up and result in an hour+ w
By a landslide, one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Our evening started on the dock where it was about a 45 minute wait but waiting was a breeze on the soundside dock patio. Sip a drink and gaze at the water while you're waiting for your table, and the wait doesnt seem so long! We got
Love this place. We had the best server, Richard answered all our questions. All our food was perfect. We waited under the gazebo and listened to acoustic guitar and singing. The breeze was off the chain, but the wait was worth the food and the server was the best I've had in a very long time at any
