Stripers Bar & Grille

I wasn't expecting much from a restaurant situated in a touristy looking condominium complex, but boy was I wrong. After leaving the waterfront area of Manteo with a bad taste in my mouth from a rude hostess, my family and I were looking for a place to feed our starving ranks. I relied on trusty yelp to lead me away from gross food, and Stripers seemed like it might be an ok choice. It turned out to be great. The view was fantastic. Our server was incredible. And, as a bonus, the food was really tasty and very fresh. I knew we were off to a good start when our server checked the belt buckle on the high chair. NEVER in my 4.5 years of being a parent have I seen someone do that. We were eating at kind of an off time (around 2:00), and that had absolutely no effect on the service. The food came out promptly and was clearly being prepared as we asked for it. The kids ate 2 lbs of freshly steamed shrimp that were very good. My seafood stew (recommended by our sever) was so delicious. Typically those types of stews are heavy (seafood in what amounts to tomato soup). This was fresh seafood and veggies in a light tomato broth. DELISH. My husband had a salad with steak, and he liked it very much. Portions were reasonable, not too big and not too small. Good beer on tap. A definite winner in our book.
As a bonus, our server was very helpful with menu choices and accommodating related to our toddler having to eat gluten and egg free. He even insisted on bringing out the ice cream container for my husband to check. He was very personable and a lot of fun to have as a server.
**Forgot we had the chicken wings, which were very, very yummy.

The food at Striper's was pretty good.  My husband and I stopped in for breakfast, and we both had the crab Benedict.  The only bad thing was the coffee, but it wasn't the worst that I've ever had.  The view here is pretty, and it's tucked away and quiet for breakfast.  The potatoes served with the eggs were really good (my husband claimed that they were salty, but he's not writing the review), and the crab tasted pretty fresh.  The service was good and the prices were reasonable.

Food: Great. I enjoy their seafood dishes. It is a bit more expensive than some are used to I'm sure, but pretty typical for the area overall.

Service: Ok.

Parking: Plenty of parking

Overall: I will continue to dine here and call in take away orders
