John's Drive-In

Outer Banks


A Kitty Hawk institution for perfectly fried boats (trays) of shrimp or crab cakes, to be eaten at outdoor picnic tables and washed down with one of many possible milkshake combinations – like M&M, peanut butter, Oreo, mint chocolate chip, pineapple and cherry, to name but a few. Some folks just come for a burger and some soft-serve ice cream.

It closes down off season.
