Stop N Shop

This is a go-to for us and many of the locals. Located immediately across from the KDH Lifeguard Station. We often walk here in the morning, pick-up breakfast and sometimes lunch sandwiches, and then head over to enjoy the food on the deck lookout to the beach. The deli is a Boars Head shop and only quality ingredients are used. Meat is shaved thin and everything is highly customizable - sauces, bread, and so on. The shop itself has an eclectic assortment of merchandise and is fun to walk around offering a lot of odd stuff including chips you likely never heard of before.The deli sandwiches are a bit on the pricier side, particularly for the OBX where you can get great deals on subs at other establishments like Harris Teeter.Also, the ordering process is antiquated and sloppy. You order over the phone and then often have to wait in line with other customers ordering in order to pick-up the food. Then, you wait in another line to ring out.

This place is ALWAYS totally looked over. But I know the secret!!! Great spot for filling up gas, grab some souvenirs, great sandwiches with boars head meat, snacks, drinks, clothes, shoes!!! You name it, they got it! All for good prices!!!Here is a secret, they also have a spot of sale shoes! The last spot I got some reefs, cobian, and sanuks!Take a stop in here, you won't be disappointed!

The weather was awesome so we decided to grab some sandwiches to enjoy on the beach. There were 4 of us, so we called our order in. I got a Reuben made with turkey instead of corned beef, another friend got the Reuben, my husband got a special that had roast beef and baby spinach. He loved it. And the last person ended up with a turkey sandwich. They use Boars Head products so everything was quality. In addition to our sandwiches, we grabbed chips, potato salad and drinks. We were set for a great meal on the beach. This is a hidden gem and definitely one is the best and most reasonably priced sandwiches I've had. Definitely eat here.

You can never go wrong with picking up a sandwich on your way to the beach! We love coming here every summer to get the best sandwiches. Always delicious and stacked high with fresh ingredients. Try their daily specials!

Their name says it all. Heading to the beach but forgot your sunscreen, Beach chair, sunglasses, drinks, food, you get the picture. They have it. They also offer a nice deli counter. Boars head meats.Delicious . The place is great .Oh and they sell a wide selection of reef flip flops. Bought servers pairs there.

I know C19 is a factor everywhere but this sandwich was lame, albeit cheaper in cost than I remember. I've always loved their sandwiches, but maybe they have new employees/management. Smallest amount of meat - didn't taste freshly sliced. I asked for super thin ham, but this probably came from a package. So much bread, suuuuuch little everything else.

This deli/convenience store/t-shirt shop/gas station was a block away from our hotel so there's that, but the snack selection is epic. The sandwiches (my hard salami with smoked gouda on rye for $3.75, and my husband's [very heavy] Big Dog club sandwich for $6.50) were delish! The drink selection is also comprehensive. This place is right in the heart of the magical KDH mile post 8.5.

If you haven't stopped to shop here, how you gonna believe the hype? Stop N Shop's deli is too legit, and while you're waiting for your sandwich order there's plenty more to take in: shelves stocked with snacks a plenty and lots of fun/tempting local foodstuffs (like jams, jellies, nuts, chips, hot sauces, etc.). There's also a dedicated fishing tackle area, the ubiquitous hermit crab zone, and lots of other miscellaneous souvenirs (I got a "Outer Banks" Iron Maiden-font bumper sticker), plus cigs, bevs, and more. Worth noting: there's really nice public beach access facilities across the street with parking, showers, bathrooms and things so you're all set for a low key, delicious day at the beach should you be breezin' thru for a spell or just looking for a few hours break away from your crazy family or whatever's got you ruffled. Get what you need here and hit the beach!

Love this place! I came across it completely by accident. I thought I was going to an Exxon. I ended up getting an amazing sub, buying a super cute dress and there is very nice staff.

Good my family some sandwiches from the deli to eat while spending the day at the beach. Staff was friendly. Food was good. They made my youngest a pb&j (not listed on the menu). Good food & service.
