Let me jump right in on my experiences with JK's in KDH. 1. Prices high for what you receive. $26.00 for 2 skewers of grilled shrimp(10), green beens and rice pilaf. Food was good tasting...just overpriced. 2. Service was TOO attentive, at the point of being annoying...some people might enjoy the constant attention.....I just want to enjoy my food.....If I...

Service was very good. I had cobia with a chipotle sauce. It was good but the sauce wasn't very flavorful and the green beans on the side weren't cooked quite enough. The bread is commercial bread so I skipped that. My husband, who loves beef, had a giant ribeye that was $45! It wasn't worth the amount we spent and... More

The meal is excellent! We went 3 years ago on our last visit to Duck, NC and just had to return to see if it was still good. Steaks were done perfectily. Veggies were fresh and hot bread was delivered to the table. Wait staff were very knowledgable. Definately a place to go back to!

Fine atmosphere is second only to its dinner offerings. I had the petite filet mignon. I’m not sure why they left a large steak knife, as the fork was more than adequate to cut through the beef. Everything was cooked to my liking. I only wish I had a larger appetite as the dessert menu needed to be sampled. The... More

Loved this place. We try to hit it every visit. Hearty food and wonderful wine selection. Give it a try when you are in the mood for red meat or some mouthwatering ribs!

High end quality with comfortable setting. Petite filet was delish and just the right size. Martini's were well done. Elegant dinner venue.

Family and I stopped on our way through town. Service was fast and food was fresh. Portion sizes did not stuff us, but kept us satisfied. I would recommend for someone looking for a good steak selection....shrimp were great too. Casual clothing wwlcomed , a bit pricey.

The food is to die for! Te steaks are next to heavenly. Okay, I have to admit, I'm a bit of a JK's junky. Despite the prices being a little high, it is WELL worth the visit. Trust me, you'll leave with a smile.

We go to OBX (Nags Head) every year. JK's has the best streak, terrific service, bread to die for (save room for dinner - it's hard) and a nice variety of local, fresh fish.

Have been here on OBX working for several months and all the locals told me how great this place is so I finally went. What a disappointment. Steak was tough and had absolutely no flavor. It was just a piece of meat thrown on some hot coals. Nothing special about this place at all.
