JK's Ribs Beef Poultry - Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks Restaurant
The name JK's has been synonymous with good food on the Outer Banks for longer than many of us can remember. JK's steaks, veal, lamb, ribs, chicken, and seafood are all cooked over a mesquite grill, bringing you aromatic wood cooking at its best. JK's eggless Caesar salads are a big hit alone or topped with shrimp or chicken. The fresh-made cornbread and French bread that accompany the meals are excellent. Four or five different fish specials are offered each night. JK's is also known for its fine selection of wines. The restaurant serves dinner nightly during the summer; call for off-season hours.

JUST SO-SO 5/23/2011
Reviewer:
DREAMER from Somewhere in Cyberspace
We ate there last week after seeing commerecials. It was very disappointing. I wanted a baked potato and could not get it unless I paid extra, could not get a small side salad, and was told they do not substitute. I have never been to a place where there are absolutely no substitutes. I will not be going back. The steak was ok, but everything else was below standard.

Disappointing meal 6/10/2010
Reviewer:
Gunnar Palm from Columbia, SC
The dining room is quaint and has a nice feel. The service was good. The lobster bisque was great! The ribs, however, were just ok. The rub is nice but the meet is dry and somewhat chewy, it does not fall off the bones! The broccoli had a hollandaise sauce that had no flavor. The soft shell crab had little or no flavor, very bland. Too bad, we had high hopes but were very disappointed!
My Best Holiday Feast to date 12/26/2008
Reviewer:
Chuck from Wiliamsburg, VA
I had the Ribs and Chicken, my wife had the NY Strip, and my in-laws had the Ribs and a NY Strip. The steaks were cooked perfectly and with very little fat. My Dry Rub Ribs were the best I've had and the chicken was comparable to a five star restaurant. The dessert deserves honorable mention because the Brownie pie and Creme Brulee were delectable.
A little dissapointed this year 9/5/2007
Reviewer:
Barb from East Central PA
Will try again next year, but was dissapointed with our meal this year. Ribs were undercooked and the seafood and pasta was suppose to be tossed in a light cream sauce. The pasta and seafood were floating in a large amount of what seemed to be undrained water from cooking the pasta.

Great food. I mean great. Steak was perfectly medium rare, my wife's perfect medium. Nice setting (yet casual). Great service (including getting my son's thrown pacifier-his favorite "game" currently that we're discouraging strongly-from beneath a nearby table). 5 stars. I have a new favorite place.
BEST Meal in OBX 7/27/2006
Reviewer:
Patrick from Gettysburg, PA
Don't hesitate to go to JK's. After trying other "well known" tourist spots, we only found good food at JK's. The ribs were to die for. Expect the meals to be a bit pricey, but there was no line, the atmosphere was a step above, and the food was absolutely wonderful. Absolutely an A++.
JK's 6/19/2006
Reviewer:
Kim from pasadena, MD
JK's is by far the best for ribs! Being a marylander we always drowned out ribs in BBQ sauce, until of course we found the secret of JK'S spice rub! We can't keep it in our hosue!Outstanding! Mac Magruder is the best meat manager ever!

Our favorite restaurant at OBX, period. We've been going for 5 years now, and have always had a great meal. I love the steak, my wife loves the ribs, and we both love the bread and mashed potatoes.
Best Steaks on the OBX 10/26/2004
Reviewer:
Tim from Kill Devil Hills
Their open flame grill with mesquite wood makes the meat the best on the beach. The steaks are the best around. I don't much care for the ribs because I can do them at home for 5 hrs, but the steaks are to die for! Not cheap, but you'll enjoy your meal. Located at the 9 mile post at Martin St & the Bypass.
The Best EVERYTHING 10/3/2004
Reviewer:
Kim from Eagle Rock, VA
I've been going to JK's for over 5 years, they are the best in everything...seaford, BBQ,steaks. You name it it's great. Be prepared to spend around 15 to 30$ a plate depending on what you get, but it is all worth every penny. The ribs are the best I've ever had!!
Best steak on the beach! 6/7/2004
Reviewer:
Tim-OBX from Kill Devil Hills
Avoid the ribs - they are not cooked long enough or slow enough to be tender, but the steaks are to die for!!
great food 1/19/2004
Reviewer:
gofish from Kitty Hawk
JK's is by far the best place to get a steak on the OBX. Try their flavored butters to compliment the steaks. I have eaten here 4 times and never has anyone been disappointed.
