This is the best value lunch spot on the Outer Banks hands down. Ben is a gem and the staff is always super friendly--service is excellent. Love it!

Double hamburger with cheese was excellent. Onion rings for me had excess coating but still tasty..also catfish sandwich with fries was enjoyable

Don't sleep on this place. It is awesome. First off, the staff are so friendly. The man at the register is welcoming to tourists and locals alike. The wait staff are helpful and friendly when they deliver your food. Maybe the best service staff at...ANY restaurant we went to in our week in OBX. The food is good, inexpensive, and tasty. I recommend burgers, clam strips, tater tots, hot dogs. Everything else looked good as well.More

The hot dogs are delicious and the service is great. But I’m heading back for the funnel fries and I can’t wait!

Stopped by Spanky's Grille after a visit to the Wright Brothers memorial in Kill Devil Hills. Was not expecting much but we heard good things and decided to give it a go. You order at the counter and the staff bring your food to you....They have a huge variety of items on the menu, from specialty burgers to grilled fish sandwiches. We chose the chicken tenders, fried catfish sandwich and the fried flounder sandwiches. Everything was excellent and the food came out quickly after we ordered. No complaints, nice local joint in the OBX.More

It's a hot dog place, but it's a very good hot dog place. When we were there I think the cashier was the owner. I didn't see chili dog on the menu and asked and he said, "Oh, sure, we can do that!" My hubby...got a foot long dog; we both got fries and soft drinks. The interior was very clean and well- spaced out tables. A bus-boy also made a good waiter making sure we had plasticware for our food and straws for our drinks. The overall sense was of a small local restaurant where the staff really cared about good service and customer satisfaction.More

Our burgers were hot and fresh but terribly boring. Bland and way over cooked. My order came out wrong and left a bad taste in my mouth. Literally. However, the tater tots were some of the best we have ever eaten at a restaurant. Very...very friendly service.More

Remember the old Burger King commercial that said "get it your way"? Spanky's delivers and much more. Burgers and fries, perfectly cooked with our select toppings and cold beer. We saw quite a few locals so we knew we in a great place. Matt, the...food runner, needs a raise or bonus. He was so full of energy and cheerful. The happy guy (owner?) who took our order was also great. Well done to all! We will be back.More

We were super impressed with Spankys! The staff was incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and everything was really reasonably priced. We went a little before noon and arrived just before it got really busy. Highly recommend stopping at Spankys!!
