Interior of Goombays
Goombays-Kill Devil Hills-MP 7 Beach Road
Goombays is a stop on every trip, partially due its atmosphere, laid back and island like. My youngest daughter loves the alligator appetizer, plus the Caribbean Creole Pasta, a combination of rock shrimp, andouille sausage, crawfish tails in a tomato broth over penne pasta. It is a very good dish. In addition to this dish, they do a nice job with burgers, sandwiches and raw bar. I personally get a burger, or crab legs unless the specials are looking good. To me, Goombays is at its best with its nightly dinner specials. When they are on, Goombays is great....when they are not it is still good. They also do a nice sunday brunch. Finally, Goombays is great for deserts. Their key lime and peanut butter pies are worth the trip on their own. 3.5-4 star stop.
Kill Devil Grill-Kill Devil Hills-MP 9.5 Beach Road
KDG looks like a diner, and you might think of blowing right past it. Don't. All of its dishes are made from scratch, and there are specials that vary from night to night. They do an equally great job with seafood, steak and pastas. KDG has a full bar, with its share of draft beer, and from the appetizer menu you cannot pass up the chicken wings, or the philadelphia cheesesteak eggrolls. The eggrolls in particular are worth the stop. The specials vary from night to night, but we have never been here without everyone finding something that hit the spot! This is another place with great deserts, especially the strawberry shortcake and the apple crisp served with vanilla ice cream. 4 star stop.
MexiCaliBrewz-Kill Devil Hills MP 9 Beach Road
Operated by the owners of Mama Kwans, a great stop in the area for a touch of mexican food. Their outdoor entertainment including corhole tournaments make this a fun place to stop, relax, drink a beer, and enjoy the beach party atmosphere. Inside, you can enjoy the California/Mexican cuisine including burritos, tacos, and many fresh local foods including fish tacos. Their home made sauces to accompany the meals are great. This is a 3.5 star stop.
Howards-Ocracoke Island
Howards is a great stop on Ocracoke Island. Truth be told, the food is not spectacular, but it is fresh, quality bar food combined with fresh local seafood. I dont know that it has a signature dish, but it has good sandwiches, a good raw bar, outdoor and indoor seating. A plus for me is an expanded selection of draft and microbrews, as well as a great beach bar atmosphere. I would call it a 3.5 star stop. It is 4 star based on the other options in its area.
