Outer Banks Posts

The @momsquad came ready for fun! 🤩 Tin foil hats to block brain probes, radiation-proof eyewear, and swimsuits printed with their husbands’ faces on both sides — talk about commitment! Fully caffeinated and full of laughs, they lit up the day and reminded us that ladies with matching tan lines and tin foil hats stick together forever.

Another Big One -- Sean C., age 13 of Brooklyn, N.Y., caught his first ever big RED DRUM this morning on the end of the pier. His dad said they have been coming down to the "OBX" from Brooklyn for the last three years trying to catch a bull DRUM with no success until this morning. #Congrats

"These local experts are adept at finding the herds and can share best practices on how to safely approach them." We love doing what we do, especially knowing that our name is synonymous with "best practices" and safety.

There's a fresh NE breeze at 18 knots blowing in. One bull RED DRUM caught and released early today. Otherwise, water temp 74 degrees. Low tides 9:12 a.m. and 10:27 p.m. High tide 3:51 p.m.

We’ve navigated the peak season with passion and precision, and as the pace slows, we’re doubling down on what makes us special: excellent service, extraordinary food and unforgettable dining moments. With some key staff moving to winter jobs, some to university, and others transitioning soon, we’re carefully managing capacity to maintain our high standards.

In summer, our dining room was limited bu the number of chairs and tables tables. Now, in the shoulder season, our smaller team means reservations are key to enjoying our remarkable cuisine. We warmly welcome walk-ins when we can, but there may be times when, even with open seats, we prioritize reservations to uphold the outstanding experience our guests cherish.

Don’t miss out on the flavors that make us unique. Book your table today and join us for a dining experience that’s truly worth planning for.

We’ve still got spaces left for our LAST PADDLE BOARD YOGA class of the season this Thursday. Come join us on the water Thursday morning at 8:30 for a fun, peaceful practice!
