The Dunes Restaurant

Great food. great service. great atmosphere and the view and weather were picture perfect.

We walked in and were greeted by their friendly staff. Plenty of parking; this is located right across from the outlets on the highway. This was my first time visiting, but I recall this place gets crowded and packed the heat of the summer season. By the entrance, they had a small shop for souvenirs. We were seated immediately. Their seating area was big, and it appeared they had a buffet station, but we ordered from the menu. Our server got our drink orders and gave us hush puppies (delicious) that came with a yummy, soft butter. For our meals, we ordered the shrimp and grits and the broiled flounder. We were in the mood for seafood, and this was the spot! If you're new in the area or just visiting, I recommend giving this place a try to bring your family to or to just have a nice date night out. Thank you, Dunes Restaurant!

The manager is extremely rude to guests. My husband stepped outside for 5 minutes. I told her I'll call him and she was extremely rude in her tone and immediately gave our table away. Obviously gets some kind of power trip from being disrespectful. I really like the food but after this trip we won't be coming back. Totally ruined our trip here. She's entirely too old to risk her business treating people poorly. When I asked to speak to a manager she strolled to our table with a smile on her face like "I am the manager" She needs to be fired.

We came to this place Monday morning before headed back home. I liked the menu and the prices couldn't be beat. We got sat and I ordered the dolphin special which came with 2 eggs, choice of grits or hash browns, and hotcakes or toast. It was a good portion I couldn't eat all of it. Our server was friendly and very attentive. I would definitely try this place again when visiting the outer banks. They also have a full bar.

Went for breakfast during our stay in Nags Head because of the positive reviews and we were not disappointed. The staff were friendly, the service was fast and the food was tasty. It's a large open space with plenty of seating for large groups, couples or solo diners. Very bright and inviting with a gift shop for souvenirs if you're so inclined. We will definitely visit again next time we're in the area.

We have unfortunately passed over this restaurant for many years, unintentionally. However, when we realized they were owned by another one of our favorites, Grits Grill, we had to go and that was a great decision! We went for brunch and ate from their breakfast menu. Absolutely delicious! We will be back! Excellent little shopping experience. Nostalgic decor. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. All of that equals a WIN! Take a look at the pics!

In OBX for a family vacation. Stopped by here randomly based on online reviews. I'm very happy. Restaurant was busy, but not crowded, and the service was super fast.They start with the lightest, fluffiest hush puppies I've ever had, and they were great. The whipped butter complemented them perfectly.I got the "Pick Your Catch" and got the Crab Cake and OBX Shrimp. The shrimp was large, lightly breaded, fried and very fresh tasting. The Crab Cake was very meaty with a great blend of spices. My kids got the Chicken and Waffles, and were happy with them. Wife got the popcorn shrimp, and has happy as well. I tried some and it was yummyOverall, a good vacation dinner. Not sure if it would be a tradition, but ai would come again.

We were promptly seated and Austin took care of us. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious! The eggs were nicely scrambled and the bacon was delicious. We are use to fluffy biscuits but theirs tasted good. They have a cute store, bar area, and the bathrooms were clean.

Heard this place was good and checked it out for breakfast. -The interior is homey, and there's a gift shop with fun merch. -Standard type breakfast menu, nothing innovative, but many of the essentials were available. The addition of meat substitute(s) would help a lot. -I got the Belgian waffle with blueberries - it was nicely browned and hit the spot. Also ordered the "Gourmet Grits" - although there was nothing gourmet about them, they weren't even shone-ground, nevertheless they were delicious with cheddar and I enjoyed them. -Service was friendly and all-around top-notch.

The service, food and price were all amazing!!! My husband said this place had the best shrimp! And I had the clam strips, ON POINT! 10/10 recommend!
