Goombays Grille Raw - KILL DEVIL HILLS

Ordered the Fish of the Day. Asked the waitress what the fish was and what came with it, was told halibut with rice and beans. I ordered it, when it came out it was halibut with potatoes and veggies with crab and gravy on top of the fish. Waitress took it back to the kitchen and talked to the manager, came out with it in a bag while my family ate. I was told they could scrape the crab off after mentioning I have a shellfish allergy (I didn’t mention it sooner because I was told halibut, beans, rice, no crab) or I could pay for another one in addition to the incorrect order. It was a very greedy and low class way of handling their mistake.

This used to be a fantastic local eatery and watering hole. Don't waste your time now as the owner/manager is a total jerk and control freak. He would not sit our group because one person in the party walked in 3 minutes after the party was seated. The whole group got kicked out because of one barley late arrival. Also this kinda felt like racial profiling as the group had Hispanic Americans, African Americans as well as Indian Americans and the tone was not welcoming at all. Thankfully the Jolly Roger was just down the street and we were able to get the service and experience we were hoping for. I started eating here in 2002 and 20 years later, I'll never step foot in here again. Being a local it makes me sad to see local businesses treat patrons like this. The most unfortunate part of this experience was the wait staff missing out on a very generous gratuity.

Was a great place to eat and great to get together with friends. Kid-friendliness: Great place to eat with family ??

This place has weird energy.I vlog and wanted to make a video of this place. When I was waiting for our table the hostess upfront with short brown hair and dark red lipstick with glasses would not stop staring at me.I guess bc I was filming?! I even said something to a family member like check out this girl throwing me dirty looks. Then my server dropped an entire coke all over me. Def on purpose. The place really did not look very clean either, boxes were stacked in the front with dust and hair. Overly packed. Food caked all on the menu. Would not recommend, there are plenty of other great places in the OBX! don't waste your time here. ? They also were bought out in 2023 so it’s not what it was. Update: called in and spoke to the manger and realized why this place is like it is. They also kept calling me and hanging up after I called…What a joke of a place.

One of our favorites in OBX! Never disappoints. Food and service were fantastic as always! Rasta pasta was great. Fried shrimp was good with a generous portion, and amazing cocktail sauce ?. Drinks were good and we love taking home the Goombays cups to add to our collection or leave at the vacation house for others.
