One of the many great places in OBX! The gator bites are fantastic! Sauce is good BUT... ask for the house yellow sauce. OMG! So good. My body was craving chlorophyll. Got the wedge salad. Dried cranberries, candied pecans, blue cheese crumbles. Asked for extra. WOW! Hunks, I mean golfball sized blue cheese! If you are looking for the beach getaway lunch... here you go! Nice friendly wrap around bar. Bartenders were great!

Service is always good. My favorite visits are when I hang out in the bar. The staff is quick to take care of my orders. Recently had dessert and that was pretty tasty. They purchase local desserts from bakers on the island.

NO STARS Do Not Support especially if you or someone you know suffers from a disability. They told us very curtly that my identified service dog was not allowed in the restaurant due to "North Carolina regulations". I believe he needs to read the federally mandated ADA rules and regulations governing service animals. He is opening the restaurant up for a potential lawsuit.

Goombays - we have been eager to try this restaurant as the parking lot is ALWAYS packed... we finally had the pleasure to try this local delight, and boy, were we pleased. We were lucky to be able to get seated right away, greeted by our waiter almost instantly, and our beverages and food came out lightening fast. This restaurant features a nice diverse beer and cocktail menu and an array of food choices. One of the cocktail specials was the Kill Devil Rum pina colada slushie - boy was it good! For lunch we ordered the shrimp and veggie quesedilla, and the fish and chips. Everything arrived piping hot - so hot you had to blow on it before eating it, it was a pleasant surprise. Both meals were very good. The restaurant also had some great dessert options- maybe next time we will give those a try! Will be back, for sure!

Delicious food and great service in this restaurant. We were told wait would be 30 minutes, we were seated in 15. We got the dozen raw clams. They were yummy but tiny. Appetizer plate with coconut shrimp, another shrimp and crab balls was the star. Super yummy and perfect for two. I had the crab cake sandwich for main, it was delicious but better without bun. Friend had burger and she was happy. Adult drinks were yummy and they came with plastic toys. Blue margarita and one with rum and pineapple were so good. Excellent restaurant and shoutout to great waitress and hostess. Both super attentive.

The vibe is cool and very island feeling. The server was very pleasant, passionate and attentive. The sound was well for being a smaller venue. You could hear those at your table. Dare I say...this meal was actually better than Tortugas and Blue Moon. The best burger I've had in years in the OBX..fresh and great flavor, nothing frozen. I will return and had a great time.

Goombays is a cute Caribbean restaurant located on Beach road in a residential area close to First Street. The bar area has stools for close to 20 but there is additional chairs and standing room around the perimeter. It does get busy at times during peak season but the bartenders are good at hustling and working to ensure nobody goes thirsty. Additionally, drinks can be ordered and consumed outside on the patio, which consists of a small concrete area just outside the front entrance. The patio is furnished with picnic tables and benches.The full menu is available at the bar. Also, the bar has the steamer for seafood and vegetables. Customers can order steamed food even after the kitchen has closed.The restaurant section has table seating (no booths) and has a fun cool Caribbean beach vibe thanks to custom decorations.The menu includes appetizers, salads, and burgers, much like what you would expect at most beach restaurants. There are entrees dishes too including pasta, shrimp, chicken, pork, ribs, and so on. Goombays also offers specialty dishes which differ slightly for lunch and dinner.Our favorite lunch dishes include shrimp quesadillas, the tuna reuben, steamed vegetables, or any of their salads. For dinner we get tuna tacos or often one of their grilled fish specials.The staff is attentive and friendly.Goombays is at the top of our list for a casual meal at a friendly OBX establishment.
