Sort of a sports bar atmosphere with friendly service, nice crowd, good spicy wings and great North Carolina clam chowder. I thought it was called Hurricane Heather's. Last year I met Heather but I missed her this year.

I've been here before, but was turned off by high prices, decided to go to the Sandbar to eat and drink. On second visit, a year later, there are drink and food specials.Looks like the menu was tweaked, seemed much more affordable. Our party had the burgers and they were all cooked to order and came WITH fries for $7.99.... More

My family and I came down for the day to check out our beach house for the summer. Found this place and it did not disappoint! The shrimp were amazing, flounder was amazing, service was amazing, and the location was great! Going down to Nags Head for a little getaway with the husband and WILL be making the extra 45... More

At this point I have to leave the word ëxcellent out of the rest of the review. Most of the food was frozen/prepared, though for that genre, it was adequate. My husband got the special of the day, pulled pork barBque and was seriously disappointed. It was CONVENIENTLY located directly across the street from the Hatteras Lighthouse, which was our... More

We stopped here early (5-ish) the day before Valentine's Day so it was understandably quiet. We checked the menu and there was virtually nothing that wasn't fried. Our waitress went back and asked and the cook offered to cook the flounder on the flat-top (it's too thin of a fillet to go on a grill) to keep it heart-healthy. "But... More

My husband, brother,sister in law and I ate here last night and really enjoyed the food. My sister in law and I had a shrimp basket. Surprised that it came with fries, hushpuppies and cole slaw. The cole slaw is the best that I've had. The shrimp was lightly breaded, which I liked. My husband had the fried oysters which... More

The blackened mahi sandwich was great. Moist and flaky.This was the fish of the day. What was even better was the fried shrimp. The light batter was perfectly spiced.I usually don't care for shrimp but these were delicious. They also weren't tough. They are on the everyday menu. Good hush puppies and friendly service. Next time I am in Buxton... More

This place doesn't look fancy, it is humble and homey, but comfortable and clean...and the food is outstanding. Fresh ingredients, great flavors. The crabcake sandwich is one of the best I've had (and I've had a bunch of them!) and the fried oysters are probably the best I have had- gigantic local oysters with just enough breading- not too much...

My wife and I ate here for dinner two nights ago, and we had a great expirience. I had the fried oyster basket and my wife had the flounder dinner. They were both excellent. The hush puppies were some of the best we have ever eaten, and the cole slaw was very good too. Heather's offers Coke products, which we... More

My family ate here for my husband's birthday, and we found the food delicious. From chicken, hamburgers, fish, shrimp, and crab, it was all prepared to perfection. The hush puppies were some of the best we have ever eaten, as was the cole slaw. The service was excellent; our server was friendly and attentive. The decor is casual - basic,... More
