Roadside Bar and Grill: Your Destination for American Comfort Food in Kitty Hawk

This restaurant offers excellent cocktails, delicious food, and a modest menu with a variety of choices. Yes, there are some seafood dishes, but if you want something else, you can find it here. The building gives off a dive bar atmosphere. It's a little rough around the edges and cramped. But wait staff work together as a team and are very friendly and hospitable. Prices are what you'd expect in a resort area. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot behind the building.

Had a wonderful experience. Staff were fantastic and made great suggestions. New management has done an amazing job. Can’t wait to come back! The smoked tomato chicken was delicious!

Talk about a hidden gem! We chose this location because it was right off the main drag, but boy-o-boy were we glad we did!! Friday afternoon (3pm), light traffic. Seated immediately. Wait staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Fish of the day when we visited was Mahi. All fish dishes are made with the fish of the day. We started with the blackened bites... And UH-mazing!!!! Perfectly cooked, seasoned to perfection! Lightly blackened on the outside with soft hot centers! Served over Asian slaw which held its own. We tried the Fish Sammy and Fish Tacos, definitely not disappointed!!! My Sammy was a very large portion of Mahi seasoned well with cheese and all the other good fixings on the sandwich. Served with a pasta that didn't really hit the mark (kinda bland) but don't let that overshadow the Sammy! The Fish Tacos..... Bro... SOO good. HUGE tacos and very filling for only being 2. Ours was served with wild rice, but other photos show it being served with a salad of some sort. Sad that we weren't in town long enough to take advantage of the outside seating and music in the rear of the building. Don't sleep on this one.

This place was awesome, food was delicious. Ingredients were fresh. Outside seating was perfect and wait wasn’t too long either. Service was nice and attentive and made us feel cared for throughout the meal. Overall, great experience.

The food was amazing! I had the clam linguine, and my husband ordered the roast beef dip sandwich. I got to try a bite of his; it was so good! For dessert, we shared the cheesecake with apple topping. Absolutely amazing! The waitress was wonderful, and the owner was just as great. Both made our experience even better. I will definitely be back.

Probably our best meal during our week long family vacation! All 16 of us (teens/20s, parents and grandparents) were able to sit on the patio in two tables of 8. The food was to die for! Clam chowder was delicious! We had the shrimp & pine nuts (soo good), pork chops (huge portion and amazing), lobster ravioli special (yum!) and the yellow fin special (literally the best thing we ate all week!) Kids also had the burger and duck dynasty. All plates were cleaned and bellies were full! Loved it ALL.

They seated our party of 9 outside within 5 minutes of arriving, which worked well considering it was 70 degrees. They had delicious complimentary bread. Our server was polite & checked on us regularly. The food was pricier and worth it! I really enjoyed the seafood.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere and decor. Bathrooms were clean. We had the fish sandwich and French dip which were equally fabulous! I had the Kill Devil Hills rum punch, yummy. Outside bar area looks fun when open with a live music stage.
