Description: When a large crowd or big family is gathering for a meal, this beautifully renovated restaurant accommodates all in its three huge dining rooms. Breakfast at the Dunes is a Nags Head tradition—you can tell by the packed parking lot—where every early-morning entree in every imaginable combination is offered. A popular breakfast bar is available or order off the extensive menu. Lunches include great burgers and homemade crab cakes served with fries and coleslaw. The rib-eye steak sandwich is also a good choice.Dinners feature local, well-prepared seafood moderately priced and a huge salad bar. All-you-can-eat specials are popular. There are also plenty of desserts to choose from if you’re not already too full. The Dunes’ R Bar is a full-service cocktail lounge. The service is fast and friendly at this nonsmoking establishment. The Dunes serves every day except in late Dec and most of Jan. A children’s menu is offered.
