This place was awesome. It is all outdoor seating so you need to go warm day. The food was great and getting to watch the wind surfers is a plus.

Outstanding service and incredible food! The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming, if you go during the evening the sunset is out of this world. Looking forward to our next visit here and would highly recommend!!

Great view of the water, ordering food can be a bit chaotic when it is busy.

It is a great outdoor dining experience with a water view of the bay. The food is really good. A lot of options for local grilled tuna. They know how to get medium rare tuna exactly right. All the sides we had were equally tasty and well balanced prepared.Highly recommend the dark and stormy for a mixed drink

Excellent yellow fin tuna with a crab cake, citrus Cole slaw, and mashed red skin potatoes. The chowder was incredible ...worth a trip back.

We went to Watermen's Bar & grill Tuesday, Nov.7th. We really enjoyed our food, My husband had a half-rack ribs and I had the Tuna steak entree that has crabmeat( similar to a crab cake) on top. We had our dog with us and we definitely planned on being outside. That being said they only have outdoor seating. Not sure if they are open all year but the addition of some heaters or some fire tables/pits would be nice in the cooler months. Beautiful sunsets.

Excellent food with lots of options. Delux fresh and local seafood. Owners are present, friendly, efficient, and personable. Staff are professional and personable as well. Beautiful location on the sound with high quality salt water sports.

Back in 2023 and still a great place. Windy day and was great to see the kite surfers in action as we ate and had a few drinks. Food was really good and fresh… as can be expected in the Outer Banks…Past review:Only had drinks so can't comment on the food. However it's a nice covered, casual patio right on the Sound. We love to stop in, shop for stuff next door and then have a couple beers there. Staff is really friendly....

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.The Good - The food is really good. We had the chicken quesadillas and the chicken wrap. Awesome and delicious on both.The Bad - The setup is weird and everything is outdoor seating which is nice with the water views but the flies all around our food was hard to deal withThe Ugly - The guy behind the bar that took our order was rude. My wife is deaf in one ear and couldn't hardly hear him and he made a condescending remark.Good food though, but a business based on customers and tips you would think a little nicer attitude would be the norm.

Wife and I ate there tonight. Absolutely loved it! Herb Blackened Prime Rib was perfect medium. They do not offer steak knives. However, with the steaks as tender as these were there is no need. The butter knives are more than enough. Very pleased.

Wife and I both got the Herb Crusted Prime Rib. It was very good. They do not have steak knives and there was no need for them. The butter knife was more than enough. We ordered Medium and it was perfect.

I ordered the shrimp quesadilla and it was very good! The servers were excellent and were quick to ask if everyone was happy. The atmosphere was great! We went in the evening when there was a nice breeze and also got a nice view of the sun as it set.

Great place. Fun atmosphere. Enjoyed the food but I always prefer healthy options. Don't expect fried offerings. Outside seating only which was fine with my group.

When in OBX, there is no doubt that I must eat at Watermen's. The food is fantastic, the service prompt and attentive and the experience of dining outdoors on the water is superb. Some may grouse at having to order at the bar and not ordering once you're seated, or not having any indoor seating, but I find the fresh air enhances the flavor of the food and I frankly do not miss waiting for someone to take my order. One plus is that Watermen's is pet friendly. The view over the sound lets you enjoy a sunset or watch the windsurfing and kite boards. And of course, I must recommend my favorite -- the Signature Grilled Tuna topped with a crab cake, black bean salad and slaw. If I'm in the area for more than a few days, Watermen's is definitely high on my list for a repeat visit. My wife enjoys the crab cake sandwich also. Watermen's is my top recommendation when you're near Rodanthe.
