Shipwrecks Taphouse & Grill

If you like beer and like to watch sports on many TVs - this is your place. If you are used to mediocre food - this is your place. Me? With party of 4 on Saturday late afternoon- I went w grilled chicken on a bun and fries... Sandwich was ok (you know, iceberg lettuce, piece of onion and a slice of tomato of a white hamburger bun) - fries looked amazing but they were barely warm. Who eats soggy Luke warm fries??? - I did not. Others in party ordered seafood - which appeared to be generous in the portions - but all were left w “just not that good”. I had a couple of my wife’s fried shrimp (still a bit hungry after the soggy fries that I passed up) - and the fried shrimp’s “fried” batter was soggy. Just not my night. Our waitress was very friendly and she did take care of us. So - food? 1 star. Service - pretty good. And if you are careful about what you order and enjoy drinking beer at the bar and watching NC almost beat Clemson on one of the many large TVs - then probably a 5 star. Thus - my rating of 3 stars... I do not write many Google reviews - but I have several - not beating on this place - I was just surprised at the high marks from others regarding the food - and felt the need to interject a bit of caution regarding expectations...

I ate lunch here on a Sunday after Hurricane Dorian hit with my fellow Dominion Energy colleagues. The waitress was knowledgeable & helpful and the food was delicious! I’ll definitely be back here when I’m in the Outer Banks! They also have an awesome Bloody Mary Bar! Make sure you stop here to eat when you’re in the area!

We were greeted immediately and the server was terrific. Duck spring rolls were very good. Menu has standard fare with a few interesting expressions though prices are high. Draft beer selection is very mediocre for a tap House.
Duck was okay but not good, half duck is very difficult to serve in a restaurant. Shrimp and grits were disappointing, using instant grits and a sweet sauce on top made the dish awful.
Service with definitely the high point bringing the experience to a three and a half but the food definitely doesn't score a four. New place just getting their feet wet but seasoned restaurateur, sure things will get better.

I'm being a little generous with 4 stars. Good and unique menu choices along with some of the old standards. Very friendly staff but not nearly as attentive as they should be. Pricing is about 20% higher than it should be.

Stopped in because they didn't have a line. Not sure why....Food was good and service was excellent. Dessert special was a pecan bacon skillet brownie - yummy!
Also have a Larry's lemonade on tap it's very refreshing.
