We ate here for our family of 7 for under $50. This is a must stop before entering OBX. I had the fried flounder my husband had the crab cake plate and the kiddos all had pancakes 🥞 😋 it was all very yummy and filling. Definitely will be a repeat customer.

This place was unexpected, stopped in for gas and snacks. They had all the standard gas station fare, and a ton of souvenirs and the like, there was also a diner we did not experience. Not sure why Google thinks it's a hotel.

Good place to gas up and grab a bite to eat. Store has a grill area with tables and bathrooms. You will find a variety of snacks, and souvenirs. Sort of a mini market with kitchen items along with fishing gear.
