The Wreck Tiki Bar

Had a great experience here when exploring Hatteras! The service, drinks and food were all excellent. My husband and I shared both the Blackbeard’s Nachos and the Buffalo chicken quesadilla, and couldn’t decide which was better because they were both SO good! We also had your basic tiki drinks, including the rum runner, pirates punch and their drink special of the day. Our server was great. We decided to order the deck-friendly drinks after lunch to wander around the pier before visiting the shops. Nice service and overall a great way to spend the afternoon for lunch!

Ordered the taco bowl. It was delicious with a little kick in the dressing. The portion was generous, arrived quickly and staff was friendly Also have hemp-derived beverages.

Delayed ferry finally gave us an opportunity to sit down and spend a little time here at this spot that's a big part of our OBX trips. Normally we're racing in and out with the 'fortified wines' version of their drinks we can ship in the car while waiting in line. Today we're able to sit at the bar and enjoy Painkillers and chips. Staff is fantastic, service is great, and the drinks are almost enough to make up missing Ocracoke today

We love this little gem. They use as much locally sourced ingredients and spirits as they can. The staff is always friendly. I only wish they didn't change the smoked fish dip. It's a bit too sweet now. We still live going their though.

Bbq Sammie is great. Karaoke is outdoors Wednesday. Recommend staying indoors as the sound isolation is excellent. Great spot to see the sunset.

This is a great little bar to sit at while you wait for the ferry.

Very good options, amazing variety of drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Definitely would recommend the taco bowl for anyone with food intolerances. The people were very nice and welcoming. Not a place for a full course, fancy meal; but amazing to spend time with family and just be relaxed!

It was BUSY on a Thursday night, and we waited quite a while, so arriving/ordering early is advised. But the food was fantastic. Our party had a mix...pulled pork, several different types of sandwiches, a salad, and even a hummus plate. All were excellent. The staff, as busy as they were, were also friendly and helpful.

Our second time eating at this place and we absolutely love it. The vibe is so nice and the wait staff are very friendly and attentive. They offer inside and outside seating. the prices are very reasonable and the food tastes amazing. The wrecked Cuban is a must try!

You can't beat this view- love the water and boats. Great drinks and good food. They do trivia and karaoke. Service is awesome!

Very chill place to eat inside at the bar. The food was good and came out quickly. The bartenders were also very friendly. Great spot for lunch and a cocktail.

Great little place to grab an excellent sandwich and drinks. Nice waterfront marina view as well. Service was very friendly. Try the Orange Crush!

Loved the tiki aesthetic, we came at lunch so it was quite tame, I could see this place having a nightlife. For being a small tiki bar the cooking was really good. My wife and I got quesadillas; hearty and delicious. We appreciated that there was a non alcoholic drink menu. Server was super chill.

Best place to hang out after hours at Hatteras. Live entertainment t and island vibe are always consistent.

Great atmosphere. Great cocktails. Sandwiches were great. Excellent spot to wait for the beach house to be ready!

The food was good I didn't really like my wrap. I didn't ask for rice but I got it. The people were pretty nice the bartender made us the frozen drink special for us that was nice of her. The place was pretty it had a view of the bay we saw the sunset it was so beautiful.

Sat outside and had to order inside which was a little inconvenient because there was a long line. Otherwise, great spot for drinks and appetizers. We had the nachos and they were great. Great location to view the water.

Had the best margarita I have had in a long time.wish it was not 17.00 a drink, but was a nice treat. Two high for two but it did hoist the spot.They are alwasy nice to us folks who come early in the season with our Bernese Mountain dogs

We just stopped in for some drinks and ended up chatting at length with the owner and one of the other servers. I had a margarita which was excellent and my wife had a Crush with fresh squeezed orange juice and she loved it. The only reason we didn't eat was we were looking for shrimp or fish and the current menu did not have that option. We were there in March and they were busy. The food we noticed for others came out fast and the kitchen looked organized. So don't hesitate opening the door and give this place a try.

A suggestion....if you're going to stop serving food at a certain time, you should definitely indicate that on your website.

We had a surprise private party here. The staff went above and beyond for us. The taco bar was so good also. We had fish tacos and chicken. Very good.

This place is charming and has a lot of character! There's indoor and outdoor seating, and it's in a convenient spot - you can grab a bite there before taking the ferry to Ocracoke Island, or can hang here before heading back to the beach. They also have live music sometimes at night, which is a fun atmosphere. I usually order the chicken quesadillas and the pirate punch, but they have plenty of other sandwich and quesadilla options. Also, if you order a mixed drink, you'll get a collectible cup! Only downside to this place is that sometimes you'll walk in, and the tables aren't cleaned up from the previous guests. I think they might be a little understaffed, but otherwise it's worth checking out!

Fantastic food Great service Owners are very friendly Amazing drinks Will keep coming back here

We did trivia night here tonight. Highly recommended. The food here is not fancy but really good. Paninis, quesadillas, nachos etc. Service was fantastic. The place was packed for trivia. Orange crushes are very good. Would definitely go back

We were on our way to Hatteras, and I remembered that I thought the interior of the Wreck was so cute that I went into just take a photograph. But the owner was so nice. His name is Joel and asked us if he wanted to table edit, and his attitude made us sit down when we weren't going to and enjoy a cocktail and some smoke fish dip.. our waiter Matty promptly brought us our delicious smoked mahi-mahi, fish, dip, and orange crushes. The service the atmosphere, the prices, and the quality of food all five star.

Great tiki atmosphere with good drinks and food. Mainly sandwiches but it's good vacation beach fair. Staff is extremely nice and fun. Would recommend.

We had some lunch waiting for our house to be ready. The cuban was good enough. Food seemed good! Staff warm and friendly....NOT A SINGLE SOUL WEARING A GD MASK INSIDE.

What is not to like.. Beer and good food... I had the Cuban Sandwich and a couple of recommended beers... All very good.... The view is great if you set out side or at the right place in the bar... Inside is not very big, but a great place to grab a Beer and food. Personally I liked that the prices printed on their menu includes tax... Made paying with cash so much easier... And I cannot forget the staff.... All provide great service....

The smoked fish dip is amazing. (Made in the restaurant each day.) Staff friendly and accommodating.

We had been looking forward to going all week but we were quickly disappointed. We had a table of 9 and got a table at 8pm so that was good. We were promptly told that we would not receive table service but the 10 top next to us had table service and the 8 top that was seated after us had table service. Im guessing since we had kids they didn't want to deal with us and knew we would leave thinking they wouldn't have that kind headache late at night. Also no AC so it was 100° in there.

Stopped in to see the owners-Joel and Jess. Great food and great drinks! Can't wait to visit again! Thanks guys!

Eat tiki bar in the world! You will love the chill environment and they have specials daily. Live music on certain days/nights as well. Smoked seafood dip is amazing.

The veggie quesadilla was excellent. No domestic (Miller Lite) on tap. Service was sort of friendly. Except after waiting 40 min and checking status. Limited options for lunch in this area.

The mixed drinks are pretty gross but the staff and view are nice. Reminds me a lot of Sunset Grill in Duck... which, if you know... you know. :-X

Visiting from out of state in November, caught the last place open around for the season. Waitress was super friendly as well as server. Food was warm and much needed. Not a thing wrong

Only reason why I'm giving this place one star is because of the food and the only reason why I liked the food was because I was hungry. Drinks are horrible, tasted like water mixed with kool aid and rum. Gave them a generous tip for a pretty big order and all I got back was sass. I nicely asked when my food would be ready and the hostess and kitchen staff were both unnecessarily rude about it. Only nice person working there was the teenage blonde girl. Thought I would have a great experience and be able to come back with some friends for a drink and music. Guess not. Not a good look for OBX, won't be coming back. Didn't even wear masks either.

While vacationing in the Outer Banks, we popped down to Hatteras for the day and this was the only option for day drinking. We immediately felt like locals as we bantered with 2 of the best bartenders we have encountered on our many adventures, Sarah and Bailey. They were fun, friendly, informative, and gracious, and we wish we would have swung in sooner, as they closed an hour after we arrived. Not only was the alcohol to our liking, but the fish dip was delicious, as was the ham and cheese sandwich. So whether you want a cool, cozy atmosphere, good food, fun swag, or just the company of awesome bartenders, this is your place! By the way, they stay open late on Thursdays and have live entertainment on the deck (which we will be sure to schedule the next time we visit the OBX)!

Good was really good our first day stopping there. Couple days later we had it again and it was like a completely different meal (not good). Waitress was awesome and restraint was a nice environment and very clean! Pictures from first time.

We went on trivia night and had fun, but the service was slow and also, this TIKI BAR didnt have any frozen or tropical drinks!!! We had the "pirate punch" but it didn't have any rum in it. It was made with flavored wine.

we just discovered this fantastic gem! great atmosphere and delicious tropical drinks! food was great! definitely get the smoked tuna dip! the owner has perfected it! friendly staff and owners! a must next time you're in hatteras!

The name is appropriate. I will give it two stars for the quick delivery of beer...but other than that the operation needs some help. Put the microwave away and your food will improve dramatically

Menu is limited, sandwiches and paninis. Not busy for lunch on a Wednesday. Good if you are looking for a bar. decent selection of beers. no good option s for kids other than a hot dog. sandwiches were ok nothing special. Would have gave 3 stars if the waitress didn't take my drink before I was done.

Understaffed. Waited 20 minutes at bar with no acknowledgement then left. Try the open water grill instead.

Read the reviews and stopped in. True to their adverts they are a tiki style bar. Some tables to sit at. Decent craft beer on tap. A menu which includes paninis, tacos, quesadillas, chips n cheese, hot dogs. It is a shirt menu but packs a punch if you let it. I had the meatball panini, delish! He had the pork tacos, delish. The sweet slaw was a nice touch. Staff was friendly. Did a very nice job at getting drinks out quickly along with the food. Clean and they offer tshirts and other items for sale. Get wrecked at The Wreck. Hours are M - W 11:30 to 3ish. I believe th, fri and sat are more all day hours from 11:30 to 8 or six just call ahead. It's a nice place to sit and relax after a day of sun or before you hit the graveyard of the Atlantic.

Exploring the OBX. Stopped for a sandwich and drink. The staff were very friendly and efficient and were able to handle the crowded place. The food was good and served quickly. Nice beer selection which was served nicely chilled. Limited liquor selection but all you need for a nice summer drink-vodka, rum and tequila.

This place is advertised as a tiki bar. Total bait and switch. Tiki masks are the only qualifier it seems. There are no cocktails. Just beer. They are on the waterfront, and they have no seafood. Just assorted stuff from a panini press and hotdogs. There are more, and better, options at a carnival. They dont even have bathrooms. Unless you're the kind of white trash that thinks a Corona is exotic, skip this place.

I got a hotdog, chips and a side of the island coleslaw. The hotdog was skinny and sad. The island slaw has four little pineapples on it and tasted fine but not great. My friend got chips and the smoked fish dip for $8 and was not worth the price. Definitely would not recommend for food.

Friendly Fun spot in a super location. Pork Quesadilla was huge & Delish! So cheesy and full of flavor. Husband had Pork with slaw on Cuban roll and he enjoyed it very much.I had a bite and it was wonderful. Pets welcome outside and the view from the deck is so peaceful. The Girls we met running the Wreck were great ! Our Pup had water before we even sat down on the deck to order. Drinks were refreshing. See you again soon!

We stopped in while waiting for the ferry to Ocracoke Island. The owner was quite hands-on, telling patrons that she opened for the Thanksgiving holiday but was otherwise closed for the season. The menus were marked up to reflect what was actually available and the drink list was verbal. Not being hungry, I opted for the Pirate's Punch - a mixed drink of vodka, sake and sweet/sour mix in a takeaway cup for $8. Not cheap but a rather nice and refreshing drink. The decor of the Wreck is that of a Tiki Bar - lots of kitsch on the walls, TVs above the bar and music playing in the background. There are actually 2 bars - one at chest level and the other at waist level. There are also several tables with seating for perhaps 20. All told, the Wreck is a fun Tiki Bar - a nice way to while away time waiting for the ferry.

We weere here the night they have live music outside. The food came fast, they had awesome hawaiian coleslaw with coconut and pineapple. Really complimented well all the food. So fresh, unique, and summer-like.

Stopped off here on the way to Ocracoke Island for a beer & food. Located in the middle of a shopping outlet, this is the only bar / restaurant I could find and was Tiki themed. Their staff was lacking numbers and they got hit with a major rush. They were obviously blindsided and frantic, but handled it fine. My pulled pork tacos are great and was fairly priced. They were also saying their nightlife was pretty fun with dancing, music, etc although I probably won't be able to check it out. It's a good time killer waiting for the ferry to Orcakoke Island.

This was such a cute little place to have lunch before getting on the ferry to go to Ocracoke! The lady working there was very nice and suggested we get the tuna dip as an appetizer because it was fresh and made that morning, it did not disappoint! I got the bbq hawaiin quesadilla and my boyfriend got a panini and they were both delicious. The sangria was great too. It was a charming and beachy place, I'd definitely visit again if I was in the area.

Stopped in last night with a group of 12 for happy hour, dinner, and sunset. Charlie was very accomodating with bar snacks and apps even though the kitchen was closed. Came back for lunch today, and had excellent panini's and quesadillas. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and cold drinks-have the sangria!! Highly recommend if you are ever in the area! Charlie and Sandee are part of their great staff, and did a great job making everyone feel welcome!

The team made the visit worth taking the time to review. Kayley at the bar, Tim in the kitchen and attention from Martin the owner made us feel like friends. Mahi fingers were fresh and delicious.

Went in today after reading all the advertisements in the local magazines. We were sorely disappointed . First they were out of all draft beer except one. Secondly, much of the food was not available- no chili, etc. After they served our drinks, they told us the internet was out so we had to pay cash and there was an ATM next door. We said we would pay in cash. We ordered the quesadillas and the pulled pork. We asked to sit outside and they said they would bring the food out. When we got up to move outside, they said we had to pay before they would make our food. What? Who does that? We gave the waitress a $50 bill. She did not give us change. When she brought the food out, there were no napkins or silverware (plastic) - nothing! The food was ok - average at best. I had to go back in for the check, which I had to ask for and could only look at and not take. Do your self a favor and do not waste your time or money .

this is the kinda place where it might be better if i didn't write a review. admittedly we were vacationing off season and there was nothing at all wrong with our service. the young woman who served us was attentive and friendly but the place is advertised as a tiki bar and it's just a dive that serves beer and a handful of mixed drinks. since it was 10 o'clock we didn't eat so i can't speak to whether the food is good but i'll guess that it is. there just wasn't any drink here that you couldn't get at Friday's or Applebee's. on the other hand, maybe that's fine as there isn't a chain restaurant within an hour of Hatteras. but, there were more exotic beverages served at the Sandbar and Grille a few miles up the road.

There are not too many places to eat this far south on the OBX. We rented a house across the street from the Wreck and came here just once for happy hour. Great views, of course. Good beer, nachos and jello shots. Hours are a bit limited so check if its open before you go.
