I saw this restaurant on a tv show a few years ago and made a note to go here next time I’m in Kitty Hawk. Glad I made it. Wife got crab cakes, I got fried shrimp. Both of us liked our dinners. Large beer selection. Nice beach/surf atmosphere.

Great place to stop and grab a bite before heading out to the beach. The kids loved the special kids drinks that came with special surprises. The food had amazing flavors and was definitely worth the stop.

Fun drinks for the kids! Indoor and outdoor seating. Quick service and fish tacos (fried Mahi Mahi) were sooo good!

Fun local bar and restaurant. A variety of staple type foods as well as their own specialties. Good place to grab a drink. They decorate for various holidays too. Nice outdoor space to enjoy a drink and hang out with folks. Also a fun pop-up Christmas bar.

Hands down, THE BEST CRAB CAKES I've ever had. Which sucks for the place I went to two days later, where I ordered crab cakes... I don't know how I could ever find better ones. Id be remiss if I didn't comment on their damn jerk seasoning... Holy grilled jerk shrimp !!! The rest of the food was quite amazing as well, and despite ordering fresh crab cakes, I underspent from my budget. I shall return if I'm back to the area!

Great atmosphere with beachy vibes. Super friendly staff with great service. We all got burgers & enjoyed them. Food came out hot! Will be back!

Everything was amazing. I have celiac disease, and I'm a little shy about it. I hate having to ask them to make special expectations for me. Very few places on the beach are safe for me to eat at. No ones fault but my own though! First off the waitress was amazing. She gave me a surprisingly long list of gluten free items on their menu, both ones at risk of cross contamination and not. I ordered the bang burger (might have been called bang bang) on a lettuce wrap, with coconut ride for a side. The chef came out with the recipe book to tell me that the onions are fried on that burger but we can go through the book and see if there is something I can have. I thought that was amazing, absolutely above and beyond. I told her making it without onions was perfectly fine. My husband and mother in law received their wings, which looked amazing (not GF but I can admire them from afar haha), and soon after our meals came out. I meant to snap a photo of my burger but I dove right in and it did not last. It was so so good! I ordered a drink after, and the waitress came over and she was checking the ingredients on the can, just to double check it was safe. I cannot thank the staff tonight enough. I have lived here for a minute now, and this is the first place I've gone out to eat where I truly felt WELCOME. I feel safe, if that makes sense, eating here. My side hustle in the summer is at a very popular tourist destination down here, and when asked I'll be sending everyone to Bonzer! Please tell the staff they're amazing for me!

It was our first time at the Bonzer Shack. Needless to say it won't be our last. I took my husband out for his birthday on our last night in OBX and our meals were amazing! The drinks were perfect and our bartender Victoria or Veronica ( sorry I can't remember the name...her drinks were too good) is amazing! She was so friendly and fast. My husband and I are both in the industry and we loved that you could buy a round for the kitchen!
