Kid-Friendly Outer Banks Restaurants

Outer Banks Brewing Station

Kill Devil Hills Milepost 8.5 on the Bypass
“Let them run out all their energy before you sit down to eat” says Maslin from Web Services. Only on the Outer Banks will you hear the phrase: “My 2 year olds favorite is the Outer Banks Brewing Station.” Emily from Association Management likes the “great kid’s menu selection and she likes it because it has a very kid friendly fenced back yard where they can run around and play on the pirate ship” plus picnic tables and outdoor games. A foosball table in the bar area is great for the older kids too. Innovative menu, beer is brewed on the premises. They are also the only wind-powered Brew Pub in the country.

Pamlico Jack’s

Nags Head Milepost 16 on the Bypass
The former Penguin Isle has changed the atmosphere, but not their excellent cuisine. Enjoy panoramic views of the sound, bring the kids and “you just may have to deal with the Pirate!” says Linda from Human Resources.

Mako Mike’s

Kill Devil Hills Milepost 7.5 on the Bypass
“The décor with hanging fish gives even the littlest ones something to look at. The fish tank is always a gathering place for kids young and old. And now they have "Sharky" strolling around talking to the kids and dancing little jigs. The kids love him.” says Jeanne from Pools & Spas. Plus, “They make children's cocktails so that the kids can feel a part of any celebration. A popular desert with the little ones is jello with gummy sharks.” Multi-level setting with fish tanks and shark décor. Gift shop featuring local artists.

Kelly’s Outer Banks Restaurant and Tavern

Nags Head Milepost 10.5 on the Bypass
“Good food, excellent service and some history too…it’s an OBX institution. The sweet potato biscuits are legendary and the specials use fresh Outer Banks seafood in innovative and delicious ways. And, you can always get that fried or broiled seafood platter. Kids menu. After dinner, stop by the lounge and catch some music, do some dancing or just have an after dinner drink.

Fuji Steakhouse and Sushi

Kill Devil Hills Milepost 9.5 on the Bypass
If you haven’t ever taken the kids to a Japanese steak house, why not give it a try at the beach? Chefs prepare your food right at your table, complete with the flaming volcano and lots of fun along the way. However, not all kids are up for the Hibachi grill experience: Emily from Association Management says her youngest remembers Fuji as “the place with knives and fire.”

Or get it to go...
Sometimes with little kids, it’s easier to get it to go. If they like seafood, consider getting a steamer bucket. At The Sugar Shack (next to Sugar Creek) in Nags Head or Steamer’s To Go in Corolla, just pick what you want, pick it up, and throw it on the grill or in the oven when you’re ready. Easy, tasty and looks great too!
