Good Winds Restaurant is an excellent place to enjoy great food with a beautiful view! The owners take pride in their newly established restaurant! They work hard to serve you and make sure you are happy with the service! When visiting Rodanthe, stop in and enjoy! Also, consider staying the night at the resort for more breath taking views in...

I think this was one of just a few restaurants still open in late November so we went mostly for a lack of other options. The food was good. Prices averaged about $13 a plate. Great selection of beers. Go during sunset, it has an awesome view. More

We stopped for a quick, small lunch. We both ordered appetizers but were plenty for lunch. The Asian Shrimp was so good and perfectly cooked. Also the Mahi Mahi bites were tasty. The restaurant was NOT busy at all but clean and the server was extremely friendly. More

This place was terrible. There was a long line and the hostess was very unorganized. We stood there for at least one half hour prior to being greeted. We finally had to approach the hostess to get a status on the wait. We go to OBX all the time and understand busy restaurants. This place was rude. Many people in... More

My finance had a wonderful dinner on the deck. I thought the service was great and the food was much better than I expected. I will definitely return on my next trip to the OBX. More

We were all very pleasantly surprised to find that a restaurant that was so close with the appearance of a tourist trap would be SO DELICIOUS. Usually we would have to consult with year-round locals to find the secret joints that were this good. The food was quite literally so of the best food that I've ever eaten - ANYWHERE. More

We were staying up the road from the place and since it's a small town, there aren't many places to go, so we decided to try this place. When we arrived there was 1 family waiting to be seated, and after they were seated then they asked us how many - which was 5 adults, 1 child. I could see... More

My family and I were looking for a nice dinner by the sound in rodanthe. We decided to try "Goodwinds" because it was supposed to have good food. We walked in....and waited....and waited.....and waited. The hostess had left her station and failed to come back and even tell us how long of a wait there would be. Never have I... More

We chose Good Winds based on the reviews here on tripadvisor planning on a nice dinner for our last night at the beach. We were seated after a 45 minute wait, ordered our drinks and were told we would have to wait because all the glasses in the restaurant were dirty and they were washing more. Both of my sons... More
