Mama Kwan's Grill & Tiki Bar

Mama Kwans Grill and Tiki Bar is a favorite restaurant and hang out for locals and visitors. Famous for fish tacos and a Bushwackers (a frozen, alcoholic milkshake that's to die for!), Mama Kwans is a must-stop during your time in the Outer Banks. 

The menu incorporates a unique fusion of flavors influenced by Asian, Cajun, Caribbean and Hawaiian cuisine. Select from fresh local seafood, burgers, pastas and entrees such as Coconut Fried Shrimp, Pad Thai, Shrimp & Grits, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Jerk Chicken Soft Tacos or Mama’s Hawaiian Pork Plate. Sides of Butter Rum Rice and Sesame Seaweed Salad are not to be missed. You may have to visit Mama Kwans a few times to enjoy all of the fresh, unique fare offered. Daily specials range from homemade soups, salads and fresh local, seafood.

“It’s all good” at Mama Kwans, not just the menu but the tiki-style, resort ambiance and friendly staff. You can spend hours at the bar enjoying good company and experiencing laid back beach living. TVs throughout the restaurant make it a great place to watch the game. Order your Bushwacker in a a collector’s tiki glass mug for a unique souvenir to take home.

Nightlife at Mama Kwans really heats up, as the tables are cleared and a DJ sets up Friday nights. Dance the night away and mingle with a great singles crowd. This unsuspecting restaurant turns into a full on night club to kick off the weekend.
