Dining out with the entire family is a fun venture at Kill Devil Hills’ restaurants. The variety promises that there are options for all palate preferences, budgets and dining styles. The restaurants here do a great job at preparing those familiar favorites, such as fish and chicken tacos, burgers and barbecue plates. Many of these places also embrace their coastal location, and customers can dine in an island-inspired setting where colorful, bright and festive decor and flavorful seafood dishes delight all ages. Delis and pizzerias also offer fast and casual options that can be enjoyed by dining in, carrying out or even having it delivered for a family dinner in. If you want a restaurant for a special occasion, several of the upscale eateries offer children’s menus that are just as impressive as those for adults.
