About

Daily food and drink specials, live music on the waterfront stage, incredible kiteboarding action and breathtaking sunsets over the Pamlico Sound!

Story

Part casually hip restaurant and rum bar, part gourmet coffee bar, and part waterfront concert venue, Watermen’s Bar and Grill really seems to have something for everyone. With comfortable seating inside or out on the picnic tables on their giant deck, just above the waterfront lawn, there’s plenty of space to enjoy a meal or let the kids run around, and the sunsets over the Pamlico Sound are nothing short of spectacular.

Watermen’s Bar and Grill debuted May 18, 2013 as a full-size restaurant serving freshly prepared, made-from scratch food with a focus on local ingredients and a high level of customer service. Produce is locally sourced, the fresh seafood is local, North Carolina craft beer is always on tap, even the coffee is locally roasted just days before it’s brewed. Morning starters include breakfast burritos, Umpqua oatmeal and fruit smoothies. For lunch try the blackened local tuna sandwich with wasabi cream sauce or the lump crab quesadilla. For dinner, one of the most popular menu items is chef Devon’s Carolina pork BBQ Ribs, or try one of the many local seafood specialties.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can catch live music every week on the waterfront deck outside. The Family Friendly Sky Blue Summer Concert Series sponsored by Carolina Brewery kicks off in April with most shows offering FREE admission and lasting from 6-10. Watermen’s Bar and Grill is located on the sound in Waves, just behind REAL Watersports.

Like others have said the ordering process is a bit odd, but not that big of a deal, you go to them at the counter to place it. Expect that other places in the area as well. But it's back to normal after that, food delivered to your table and they come back to check on you. Staff was very attentive, we found out they split the tips so everyone seems to help out equally. The food was hands down the best on the island, our house was down the road directly across the street from another establishment but instead we got in the car to frequent here. We ordered the spicy tuna bites every time we went, we had the fajitas, ribs, shrimp skewers, salad, stuffed mushrooms, seafood platter, prime rib and literally did not have one complaint about any of it. The atmosphere was great as well, very clean inside, outdoor bathrooms definitely need more upkeep though, that would have to be my only complaint. The kite surfers launching out back are really cool to watch, and live music on some nights. Highly recommend!

Great place. Our first time here. Wait/bar staff so great. Awesome view at outside tables, great food and nice staff. Can't wait to go back when they reopen in spring for live music and some cold ones on the deck!

We really enjoy Watermen's Grill. Great ribs (special on Thursdays). They will be closing for winter soon. Come for the sound views and sunsets, good food, friendly servers. You'll be glad you did.

On the recommendation of our server, we got the blackened tuna sandwich (grilled just with lime) and it was THE BEST. We also got a crabcake sandwich, very large and delicious. The sides of black bean salsa and slaw are both great combinations of flavors. The coffee was rich and smokey - refill to-go was just $.70. Every bite of food was delicious.

We come to the outer banks every year over thanksgiving week. We always make a point to come here. The atmosphere is so cool and the food is phenomenal. Above all else the staff is so friendly and the owners are so awesome and down to earth. They always greet us like old friends and make us feel like family. Highly recommend a visit when you come down to OBX. Somebody get Guy Fieti here asap. Definitely worth a DDD visit!
