Mirro's Cafe

This place looks so unassuming from outside and inside is just a casual surf shack serving food. You order at the counter when you know what you want and seat yourself. They have a decent sized dining room inside and a nice porch outdoors where they allow dogs. We ordered the jalapeno poppers to start. They were nicely fried and crispy with cream cheese filling. They came with a sweet chili sauce for dipping (which isn't my favorite combination) but we're good enough on their own. For my dinner I ordered the shrimp Po boy. The roll was crusty on the outside, but soft on the inside. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, the shrimp were perfection. They were fried to a golden brown and cooked just right. The bistro sauce was similar to a thousand Island, and it was just the right amount of sauce to shrimp. If I lived here, I would eat this sandwich on the regular. I paid an up charge for fries instead of the chips and the fries were crispy and well seasoned. My husband ordered the chicken wrap with chips and really enjoyed his meal as well. Definitely a great spot with some really good food.

Mirro's is easily accessible from 12, with plenty of good parking out front. They are a fairly casual place. Go in, grab menus up front. Seat yourself. Go to the counter when you're ready. It's a basic beach sandwich type spot. I ordered an oyster basket with fries. It's a huge pile of fries with a few small bits of fried oyster in it. The very small portion of oysters was a disappointment. Overall, the food was okay.

This is an easy and pretty tasty lunch spot. There's a ton of seating both inside and outside. You look at the paper menus and then place your order, and they bring it out. I ordered the oyster po boy which had a decent amount of oysters and a nice remoulade sauce. I liked the bread as well, but could have had less lettuce and more toppings like tomatoes. It was reasonably tasty and and a good portion.

When we walked in, the service was good. We thought it was a sit down restaurant that a server comes by and takes your order but you order at the counter which is fine. It's like a cafe! The food was pretty good especially the fries!! The building is very tight and loud but we also went at a busy time. Recommend this place

We took a week trip to OBX, and we've been here 4 times. Every single time has been wonderful, their burgers, fries, coffee's, breakfast sandwiches, and so on have been amazing. The service is shockingly quick for how good the food is. The environment is nice and welcoming as well; you're greeted to sit anywhere. Only slightly negative thing is the higher pricing, but honestly the food is worth it. Their patio is nice as well and is shaded. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting OBX!

We ate every last bite of our oyster po boy, shrimp and fries, and side of Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious, even down to the cocktail sauce. Yum!

I like the place, it has bigportions. I had blacked fish tacos and it was very filling. I took 8 people for dinner and it cost me about $140, with tip. Most of us drank water. My son's buddy got the shrimp plate, it was huge.

This is a cute cafe that recently opened in the Waves area. We were going to go to Sheila's but I think it closed down? Or we couldn't find it? Either way we wound up here and weren't disappointed at all. We tried the biscuits & gravy, pancakes, French toast, hash browns & sausage. Everything was delicious & ready very quickly. The ambiance of the place was nice, too. All of the food we ordered was quite cheap, especially for the area, & we were really impressed! We'll be back for breakfast next year. Seat yourself, order at the front, and then they bring you your food.

we were so sad when atlantic coast cafe closed at this location, as we looked forward to eating there each year. FORTUNATELY mirros has continued that same tradition of quality, affordable, delicious food which is served up quickly! dare i say they are even a little better than atlantic coast cafe was. the cafe is also super clean with ample seating and a lovely outdoor deck. don't miss it if you're in the area!

We had Mirro's twice in the week we visited Rodanthe. The staff was super friendly, and attentive. The first time was for breakfast, which my husband got as takeout. We ordered the sausage gravy & biscuits, as well as a breakfast sandwich. The sausage gravy was, well, awful. It had almost no flavor, barely any sausage and was an odd color. It wasn't made with much love, sadly. The breakfast sandwich was fine. Nothing to write home about, but the biscuit was good. The second time we gave it a shot was for a late lunch, and we shared the shrimp & fries basket, with a side of coleslaw. The shrimp and fries were good, fresh and crispy. The coleslaw was fine. I think the most memorable thing we had was the lemonade. All in all, we likely wouldn't go back. The food just wasn't flavorful or stand out enough to make me feel like I need to have it again.
