The Pony and The Boat

We ate here last week while on vacation for the 3rd time. We got there when it opened and even though we had a reservation there was no wait! --The cheesesteak egg rolls - 5 STARS! So good - the dipping sauce was great too! You have to order this app!! -Cornbread app - not as great as I remembered it being the last time, but still good.-Wings special - I think we had honey bbq - always good! -Fried Chicken - wasn't told there was an uncharge for fries instead of slaw but the entire meal was good! -Special Surf & Turf kabobs - 5 STARS on the taste - the chimchurri was so good but felt like it was a bit pricey ($38) for the amount of protein that came with it (4 shrimps and 3 pieces of steak)-Crabcake app - very good - nice flavor lots of crab-Filet - My daughter ordered this and again 5 STARTS! It was so delicious - the sauce and the potatoes and the cut of meat was great as well. I would order this again and again. We finished with the cheesesteak and the key lime pie - both delicious as well!! I really wanted to try the brownie sundae, but was taking mine to go and was so full after dinner - will def try that next time.

Great food, great drinks and cocktails. We were seated immediately on what we thought would be a busy night. I'd call this a hidden gem

First time at those restaraunt and was greeted by Tray who was also our server. Service was the best I have seen in the OBX. I had the special ... braised ribs which melted in your mouth perfect potatoes and broccoli. This is definetely a little more upscale and on the higher side pricewise.....it was worth every bite. Desert was a double chocolate brownie with sea salt caramel ice cream topped with whip cream..enough for two and we'll worth it. I will do it again soon!

Absolutely delicious brunch! Had the eggsBenedict and the hollandaise was so good! I also recommend the cinnamon rolls

Lovely meal while visiting OBX! Highly recommend the Brussel sprouts appetizer - incredible. We were well taken care of by our server- Kim. For dinner husband had seafood medley with a delicious amber ale. I went for the vegetable Mac and cheese. Both were served piping hot and were delicious. I also admired the use of upside down boat / canoe as lighting. The owner was on site - which also speaks highly of ensuring everything ran smoothly. We will return here on our next visit for sure !

We had a great dinner here and would definitely return. Pros/Highlights: the cheesesteak eggrolls were amazing and very flavorful. I had the shrimp and grits which was the best shrimp and grits entree I've ever had. It had big chunks of bacon in it. My husband had the ribs which were huge and meaty but just a little overcooked. For dessert we had the warm brownie which was very moist and decadent. The drinks were just ok. For drinks we tried an Old Fashioned, the Orange Yum Yum (like a doctored up orange crush), the Pony 75 (their spin on a french 75), and an espresso martini. The espresso martini was pretty lackluster and had a muted flavor. The martinis were also on the small side. The drinks were the only part of meal that were just ok and that could use some improvement. All the food was wonderful though. We would definitely return and recommend this restaurant to friends and family.

We visited The Pony and The Boat on our date night while on our annual vacation to OBX. We were seated quickly and served immediately. We got the crab dip as an appetizer and I ordered the seafood pot pie and my significant other ordered the steak for our meals. All of it was delicious! I would definitely rate this in our top restaurants we have visited in the Outer Banks!

Nice place, great service, delicious down home comfort food. Bar serves beer, wine and alcohol. We will definitely return.

One of my personal favorites on the beach! Great food and local hospitality! You can't go wrong with picking anything on the menu!

Enjoyed a delicious brunch with family! Two of us ordered the pork skillet and the third has the steak skillet. The gravy on the pork skillet was amazing. Tip: ask for it on the side. The sauce on the steak skillet was also very good. Poached eggs are cooked perfectly and the potatoes are nice and crispy!
