Best steaks on the Outer Banks. Their Friday double smoked prime rib special is excellent. The menu has a nice variety of both meat and seafood, and they do a great job of preparation with both. Their ribs are fantastic as well. No reservations, but the restaurant is fairly large.

Best Margaritas and Bloody Marys on the OBX. The Ultimate Margarita is worth a splurge, and the Bloody Mary mix is made from scratch. The food is also outstanding. They are "Best of the OBX" for a reason, and are a locals' favorite.

Small restaurant with excellent Sicilian food that changes weekly and an incredibly well priced wine list. No reservations, so it's best to arrive just as they open or around 7-7:30pm. They don't have a kid's menu per se, but will make a child's portion of pasta and meatballs. This place is a gem.
Shhhh....don't tell anyone.
