Watermen's Bar & Grill

Awesome views at sunset!! Great beer! Prime rib is delicious and the shrimp quesadilla my wife had was great! Definitely a wonderful place to watch the sun go down while eating great food and sipping on a cold beer! We will be back!

Waterman’s is always great, you place your order at the bar then go find a seat and they bring everything out to you. The food is seasoned well, but If you’re not used to a lot of seasoning you might find the tuna bites and crab cakes salty. Pictured are the crab cakes with black bean salad and chips. The other is the surfs up seafood platter with mahi. The grilled mahi is the best thing I had the whole week. Would be nice to have some better lunch side options, but it was all delicious. The servers were great too.

We loved the vibe of this place. Laid back, good music, good drinks, good food. Simple tables outside where you could watch the sunset. Be warned if you come early it will be very sunny, but in my opinion the view is worth it. Veggie fajitas are really good. And the pain killer drink was my favorite. We actually went back a second time during our week in Rodanthe, so that should tell you something.

Excellent lunch spot right on the water. I had some grilled shrimp with a black bean salad and both were excellent. The ordering process is sort of strange. You order and pay at the bar, but then you go sit down and a server brings everything to you. Not sure why they don't just take your order. I also wasn't sure whom I was tipping when I paid. The bartender? The runner? I also don't like reading a big sign explaining the ordering process before I even walk in.

Aside from that, the view was great. The service was excellent. Everyone in my party really enjoyed the food. It came to about $75 for 3 adults and 1 kid, no alcohol. I felt fine paying that for the quality and location.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. The menu is posted outside you go in and order food/drink and then head outside to pick out a table and wait for your food. The food was delicious! The view was phenomenal. Nothing better than listening to the water while eating!
