Bonzer Shack Bar and Grill — Coastal Comfort on the Outer Banks

About Bonzer Shack Bar and Grill

Bonzer Shack Bar and Grill is the Outer Banks’ most laid-back beach grill, serving bistro quality Coastal Comfort Food with a nostalgic nod to surfboard shapers and wave riders out on the break.

Located on Beach Road at Mile Post 9 in Kill Devil Hills, just across from the Sand and Surf, The Shack combines a welcoming old-school driftwood setting with a sandy outdoor yard, games, and tables. Guests can drop in for a relaxed vacation meal or an afternoon break.

Fresh locally caught seafood is prepared with care by Executive Chef Brett Owens, whose refined approach complements the soulful southern local food served at Bonzer Shack. The menu includes inventive appetizers such as the locally famous Hippy Dip, along with wings roasted in house daily. Dinner offerings include fresh tuna, prime rib, and hand pattied burgers.
