- A sister restaurant to the beloved Kill Devil Grill Kitchen and Bar has recently opened in Nags Head, bringing with it a fresh yet familiar dining experience. While it proudly carries the same commitment to quality and hospitality that made the original a local favorite, this new eatery has carved out its own unique identity.
Located along the bustling stretch of the Outer Banks, the restaurant maintains the welcoming atmosphere of Kill Devil Grill but adds a distinct Nags Head charm. The interior design reflects the coastal vibe, with soft pastel hues, nautical accents, and expansive windows that offer a view of the nearby ocean. Unlike its predecessor, which thrives on its vintage diner aesthetic, the new spot leans into a more contemporary style, blending comfort with elegance. This modern touch creates a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance, perfect for locals and tourists alike.
The menu is where the restaurant truly sets itself apart while honoring its roots. Fans of Kill Devil Grill will recognize a few signature dishes, such as the award-winning crab cakes and the iconic Key lime pie, both of which have earned a loyal following over the years. However, the new location introduces its own culinary creations, inspired by the flavors of Nags Head and the surrounding region.
Seafood takes center stage, with dishes like pan-seared scallops in a citrus beurre blanc, and a roasted shrimp and corn chowder that pays homage to local fishing traditions. A standout item is the “Nags Head Catch,” a daily special featuring freshly caught fish prepared in a variety of styles, from blackened to grilled. For those seeking something beyond seafood, the restaurant offers options like a slow-braised pork belly with a sweet and spicy glaze and a locally-sourced vegetable risotto.
One of the most notable additions is the craft cocktail program, which complements the elevated dining experience. The bar menu boasts a range of innovative drinks, such as the “Outer Banks Breeze,” a refreshing blend of vodka, elderflower liqueur, and grapefruit soda, garnished with a sprig of rosemary. There’s also a focus on regional beers and a carefully curated wine list, ensuring there’s something for every palate.
The staff, many of whom have transitioned from the Kill Devil Grill, bring their renowned warmth and professionalism to this new venture. Regulars will appreciate the familiar faces, while newcomers will quickly feel at home thanks to the team’s attentive service.
Since its opening, the sister restaurant has already garnered rave reviews from both locals and visitors. Many praise its ability to strike a balance between tradition and innovation, offering a dining experience that feels both nostalgic and exciting. It’s quickly becoming a must-visit destination in Nags Head, proving that while it may share DNA with Kill Devil Grill, it’s a star in its own right.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the original or simply looking for a new culinary adventure, this latest addition to the Outer Banks dining scene promises an unforgettable experience.
