    This is the best breakfast buffet I have every had in my life! The wait on the weekends might be long for bigger parties but it absolutely worth the wait. Best place on the whole island!

    The French toast platter was delicious, and Orange Crush was perfectly mixed. I personally think it’s a little overpriced, but it is a restaurant in a tourist area.

    Our Party of 9 had one enjoyable dinner meal, the kids Kraft Mac'n cheese. Premium pricing for mediocre dining. Go for breakfast, skip dinner here.

    Breakfast buffet on the weekends is all you need. Check out the gift shop after your meal - lots of unique, cute gifts!

    Get "The Whaler" breakfast plate. Perfect serving size and great tasting food. Coffee was great too!

    Actually had absolutely phenomenal service and did not get the buffet. Food was sub-par...jury is still out on if we will return or just stick with tried and true Jolly Roger!

    Blood Mary's are way better here than at Sam and Omies. Check out the picture.

    Service was friendly and reasonably fast during our lunch visit. Food was decent—on par with, or maybe a bit better than, your average chain restaurant fare.

    Been here 10+ times
    Food is great and the bar is a step above the OBX standard. Ask for Patrick for the Best drinks. For the best deals, discounts and maybe free Just tell Patrick, "Sam sent you and said he has it" Enjoy
