Lucky 12 Tavern

To start off, food was so so good! Service was absolutely the best from all staffing. Our server was Tammie & she was the sweetest and most informative to accommodate our night out after a long day of work! The ambiance in this place is always welcoming, comfort food, comfortable atmosphere & just a good ole time as always home!!!

Stopped by to watch some college football and geab a bite while on vacation. Pizza and salad was good. Staff was friendly. Had a good amout of TVs to watch.

One of my favorites each year this place really reminds me of Christmas in the 70s. From the decor to the food and the cocktail menu they go all out. We sat at the bar, enjoy!

TLDR: Good food and great service! Food: American restaurant serving apps, soups, salads, sandwiches, seafood entrees (baked or fried), pizza, and desserts. We ordered the cod sandwich, fries, fried pickles, and the scallops and shrimp boat with coleslaw and sautéed mushroom medley. Prices: Reasonable (see menu picture for pricing) except a side Caesar salad is a $6 up charge. Service: Excellent! We had positive interactions with all three of the employees we interacted with. Our waitress (Tammie) was patient, kind, and efficient. The host was welcoming and helpful. And an employee patiently answered my questions over the phone prior to our visit. Seating: multiple seating areas with bar stools, tables, and booths available. Noise: music and conversation is on the louder side. No louder than a typical sports bar. Parking: parking lot in front of the restaurant. Following the signs since the lot has a separate entrance and exit.Pets: Dogs are not allowed.

1st time to OBX with a family of 4 and needed an easy place to come and watch the WNCAA game. This place is a Gem! Tons of TVs, great food and menu. What sets this place above even most places is their Bourbon selection! This place has top shelf allocated bourbon at decent prices. Friendly staff to top it all off.If I were to say the one con is there are not many tables. We came on a Monday at 630 during the off season and the place was packed. This place would be packed even with a bigger space which speaks to the quality you get here! If we ever find our way back to OBX we will come back for sure!

We ate here for lunch while on vacation for the first time last week and enjoyed everything we ordered. We started with the fried pickles app (ranch tastes homemade and is great) and the mild buffalo shrimp - which def had a kick to it but the waitress let us know beforehand and it was the perfect spice for us. My husband had the fish and chips (tarter sauce - also tasted homemade) and the meal was great - fresh cut fries are excellent. I had the MP Crabcake sandwich - fairly priced with tons of crab and the bun was excellent too! We ordered pizza to go for our daughter - which she also loved. We had great service and will definitely be back again! They also post their daily special on Facebook which I appreciate.

So Lucky 12 is right down the street, within walking distance. The menu has a very wide range of pub type food. We had Old Fashion and a chardonnay to start. The OF was very nice, so nice I had a second one with dinner. LOL. Started with Buffalo shrimp as an App., wow the sauce was a perfect blend of mold spice and the shrimp were nice size and very tasty! For entrees, my wife had the crab cake and fries, she loved it. It was topped with a corn medley, which was weird at first, But it grew on me. I had the buffalo wings and a salad and it was spot on. The buffalo sauce was a perfect level of heat and real nice size wings. Salad was good with funky lettuce and fruity vinaigrette dressing was delicious. Side note, the have some arcade games...pinball and Mario's brothers. Forgot pics of the food, my applogies.

We decided to come here during the 12 Bars of Christmas since this establishment was the vision and originator of the OBX Christmas pop up bar. It did not disappoint with festive decorations and an extensive menu of holiday cocktails and food. My husband and I ordered the Don Featherstone's Old Fashioneds that were by far the best old fashioneds we have had. It was made with a homemade vanilla syrup and garnished with a luxardo cherry and a dried orange. We wanted to get a taste of a number of menu items so we ordered a slice of cheese pie, a Caesar salad, the Turkey Burger with fries and the Veggie Philly. The Veggie Philly really was our favorite dish while the other three we probably will not order again. We enjoyed drink and food there and look forward to returning.

Yes, back again. Mozzarella sticks! Yummo. Pizza is great. Have many "old beers"! Hamms! "It's the water" ! Buffalo chicken sammy was delish. Crab bites were terrific. The whole wings, even the flapper, coated in orange sauce! Spicy. The orange sauce is what I think someone uses as skin dye. Todd behind the bar was attentive, chatty but not intrusive. Typical island beach inside. A bit dark but as it should be. Yes... got the koozies!

One of my fav places in Nags Head! Great food and fantastic service. Todd was our server and he was on his game! He was quick with delivering our drinks and food and had a great sense of humor. The clam chowder is some of the best I've had. Ahi tuna tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. We were craving shrimp so we got the buffalo shrimp and fried shrimp basket. Both were great. We got mild sauce, however it was very spicy so beware if you don't have a good spice tolerance. Lastly, the fries were great- clearly hand cut and made fresh daily.
