- RRosalynWashington, D.C. Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoClass act. We settled into comfortable, upholstered chairs, taking in the bay view, and began…. The blue fish samosa and lettuce salad with blueberries were excellent. From there, my husband enjoyed the blueberry barbecue duck and I the shrimp and grits, both of which were unusually prepared and absolutely delicious. I am a bit embarrassed to say that we had three desserts — they each seemed too good to pass up. And they were, indeed, very good. The figgy pudding was moist and delicious; the lemon pie was bursting with lemon flavor; and the blueberry sorbet, my oh my! We enjoyed everything about the meal, the atmosphere and the service. Highly recommended!More infoTheodosia$$$$• Contemporary American• Duck•4.7

- TTiffneyNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined on 26 May 2026Lifesaving Station in Duck is one of the best dining experiences on the Outer Banks. The setting inside the historic lifesaving station gives the restaurant incredible character. What really stands out is the food. Every dish was beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. The chef clearly knows how to balance coastal Southern cuisine with creativity and attention to detail. You can tell there is real pride in the kitchen. A great chef can turn the meal into a memorable experience, and that’s exactly what happens here. Highly recommend if you’re in Duck.More infoThe Lifesaving Station - Sanderling Resort$$$$• American• Duck•4.5

Discover Southern Shores
With the Currituck Sound on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, Southern Shores boasts a dining scene that is heavily influenced by the surrounding waters. You can grab a waterfront table and order steamed mussels, fried clams, or boiled crab legs. For a specifically Southern taste, opt for a plate of shrimp and grits. Given Southern Shores' eastern North Carolina location, it should also come as no surprise that you can find barbecue joints cooking whole pigs and serving hush-puppies, slaw, and chopped pork seasoned with vinegar. International options include Thai, Mexican, and Caribbean-themed spots. For dessert, stop into a local ice cream parlor for a cone or head to a doughnut shop that is always serving donuts just out of the fryer.
