We tried calling to see what their hours were.

The number was disconnected......oh well.

I think they changed the name - but this place is still terrible. I had my first suspicion when I noticed they charge $6.00 for the chips and salsa appetizer. Then the menu says “a meat patty” beside each burger offer – we should have just left. I ordered ice water, to begin with and they brought me a bottle (so they could charge me $2). I forgave this as I thought they didn't have glasses, but then when another table finally came in, they were offered glasses to go along with their diet cokes. My husband ordered the “chicken tacos” and the waiter was quick to point out that “tacos” actually means “TACO.” Yes, they charge $8.00 for a, one, solo, uno soft chicken taco! Another clue that we should have ran kicking and screaming. FYI, I couldn’t tell my husband about my suspicions bc the cook and the waiter were the only ones in the tiny place and they were eavesdropping on us. My BLT (cheapest sammy on the menu) was $5.50 and tasted like...toast. Worst BLT ever. My husband had the Jamaican jerk burger and it almost made him sick - frozen meat patty with weird consistency – GROSS! If I could warn every beach goer about this place I would. Don’t waste your money – the 2 owners/cook/waiter are totally in this joint to make a quick summer buck on unwitting tourists and it shows. Actually flashes like a blinking neon sign. Save your money!!

I am a local at the Outer Banks and I work in Corolla. My husband and my father in law had come to meet me for lunch so I took them to the Horseshoe Cafe. We had a bad experience. My father in law ordered the soup of the day and asked for crackers and they had none. I ordered the marinated chicken sandwich that comes with fries, however, I wanted the pasta salad and I was told I would be charged more. I then told the waiter that my husband was ordering the BLT that comes with pasta salad and he would prefer fries and he told me that was OK but they would not change the orders in the kitchen. We would have to do it at our table. And we did. And people wonder why there are so few people in the restaurant when they arrive. Something tells me that do not get much return business. So for now I will say so long to the Horseshoe Cafe. With service like that I don't it will last long in Corolla.

Best little cafe in Corolla. For a laid back time with excellent food this is the place.
