Nothing says "stay away" like posting your menu online with no prices. Then we went inside. Holy cow this food must be laced with gold! Now I know why they dont post their prices. Better food for less within a mile and plenty of it. Try barefoot bernies instead.

Service was great. Food was suboptimal. Lots of fried foods and very salty. Steam pot was salty. Total bar food

We come here every time we visit the area, it never disappoints. The seafood enchilada was seriously good!

My favorite restaurant in OBX. I come here at least once on my yearly sojourn. Their ahi tuna is ahi-mazing. I order it every time. Also have great (and large!) margaritas. Service is outstanding and prices are very reasonable.

The majority of my visits to Chili Peppers have been successful. However, after some of my more recent endeavors, I find that the service has been inconsistent. One particular occasion was slightly more disappointing than the rest. My partner and I arrived to Chili Peppers at approximately 1 pm on a Sunday. Our food was brought out at 2 o'clock and we waited for our check until 3. This amount of time allowed for us to complete many various activities including the construction of a butter pyramid. (Pictured) The whole time, our waitress was very inattentive and did not check on us once for

We came down here on a family vacation asked about seating and I believe it was the owner made a very snarky comment in return. They also have sign saying pet friendly, but wouldn't take our 7lb Yorkie. If you are here on vacation keep on driving by better places down the road!

Pleasantly surprised by the excellent local tuna preparation and the brussel sprouts. Keystone was our server and did an outstanding job... very attentive and great service.

On the way out of OBX, we stopped at Chilli Peppers for their Sunday brunch. What a treat! While service was quite slow at first, once we got seated and ready, we were able to get our food in a timely manner and everything tasted great!

We had the breakfast quesadillas and southern Benedict and both were good brunch foods. I also had a fairly expensive mimosa to go with brunch but the food was the main appeal. The downsides outside of the lackluster service are that the drinks are fairly pricey for what you get and it seems that some of the foods on the menu are meant to be eaten with their variety

Fantastic service from Rose and other coworker behind bar. Great appetizers and drinks. The key west margarita was delicious.

Checked out this restaurant with some friends for Sunday brunch while vacationing in the Outer Banks because it was recommended by our Airbnb host.

Our experience started out a little slow when we were left standing at the host stand for nearly 10 minutes waiting for someone to greet us. However, once we were seated the service got better!

The food was good, but nothing special. I was expecting the Pigs in a Blanket to be something a little more intricate, like sausage links battered in pancake mix but instead it was quite literally sausage wrapped in pancakes. I really think they could make

Terrible service. When I leave reviews they're normally nice. I'm hesitant to leave A bad review because i know people have bad days. This time I just had to - this service was miserable. I felt disrespected by the server in every way possible. I would recommend visitors to obx go literally anywhere else.

We were starving and decided to try something new. And boy am I happy we found this place. Even though the were short staffed the service was awesome. The wings were heat. And my burger was superb. I don't give out five stars often but what else could someone ask for. This place is a must go for vacation goers.

We had probably the worst restaurant experience of our lives here. After 15 minutes of sitting at our table we still didn't know who our server was and we're lucky enough for the host to grab our drink and food order. About 40 minutes after getting our order in we received our food; my wings were dry, hard as a rock, cold, and had nearly no sauce what so ever. I sent them back and all they did was put sauce on them so I had to send them back again requesting fresh wings. $16 for 10 of the worst wings of my life. Best part was we still didn't know who our server was. I kept having

Visiting from the PNW and was told to try this joint out. First night I was told they stop serving food at 9? Maybe earlier, so we just got a margarita. Second night we came in and there was about a 20 min wait for 2 people (40 min for 3, 55 for 5 peopl) but we chose to sit at the bar. The margaritas are AMAZING! The Chimichanga with chicken was suggested by a local and it didn't disappoint. Seafood enchilada was soooo good! Probably 8-10 shrimp plus scallops and more. The crane fries were so tender and juicy.
This is a great spot! It's worth the wait.

Picked this based of locality and Yelp rating... not sure why it's got 4 stars though? They got my wife's drink order and my entree order incorrect. My alcoholic strawberry lemonade was basically un-drinkable. They brought out the adult entrees without the kids entree. $63 for that? Hard pass!

Stopped with the family for dinner drove up from nagshead to eat dinner. Do it it's worth the food is phenomenal. Son had chicken enchiladas gone raved on them. Oldest son had steak quesadilla and it was good. Daughter had fish and chips she ate it all. Wife had the fish of the day and it was very good. I personally had the seafood enchilada and it was the seafood enchilada that I ever had.

This place is a hidden gem. Stumbled upon this great restaurant. I wish my friends would have been able to party here. The food was AMAZING and the service and drinks were great. Definitely my first stop next visit.

This place is a great alternative to all the seafood being offered in Nags Head. The service was amazing and the menu was huge. On the flip side - I wasn't a huge fan of the taco salad or the smoked wings. The taco salad lacked lettuce and the smoked wings "house rub" was sweet. I would definitely try this place again, but next time try some other items on the menu.
