Very creative and refreshing menu, will be visiting again View all feedback. What User doesn't like about NC Coast Grill Bar:
Maybe this place is just different during the off season, but it's nothing like when we last went in July. The staff looked homeless, and our waiter kept chewing gum while talking to us. The food was expensive, which we expected, but the quality of it was well below par, which we did not expect. Also despite how cold it was outside, they either would not turn on the heat or did not have it turned enough because every... View all feedback.

Our crab starter with Bay-seasoned tortilla chips was great, just wishing that I did not eat after a small plate. our server knew neither the fish of the day no...

We celebrated Thanksgiving a day early. What a wonderful meal and the service from Chelsea was great. Marvelous sunset too!

Always good. Service was good. Innovative dishes. Try the oysters.

NC Coast Grill & Bar offers a mix of experiences according to diner remarks. Some point to inconsistent service and quality, with some dishes being overcooked and underwhelming, while others praise their steamed seafood platter and beignets. Many have enjoyed the creative food options, like the Chef's Board and coconut curry bowl, with beautiful views and accommodating staff. Live music, sunset views, and warm desserts like beignets delight patrons, leaving them wanting more. While some experiences may be hit or miss, this restaurant in Duck is definitely worth a visit for a taste of the Outer Banks.
