South of KDG

South of KDG in Nags Head is a vibrant, chef-driven eatery that brings bold American and Latin flavors and creative coastal cuisine to the Outer Banks. A stylish spinoff of the beloved Kill Devil Grill (KDG), this fresh new spot offers a playful, upscale dining experience rooted in high-quality ingredients and adventurous tastes.

The menu at South of KDG is inspired by the rich, diverse flavors of Central and South America—think smoky street corn, house-made tacos, and expertly grilled seafood with zesty sauces and bold spices. Ceviches and inventive daily specials showcase the kitchen’s creativity, while a curated list of tequilas and craft cocktails sets the tone for a festive night out.

The space is modern, colorful, and full of energy, with a welcoming vibe that’s perfect for date nights, group dinners, or post-beach bites. Whether you're sipping a mezcal margarita on the patio or diving into a plate of churros after dinner, every visit feels like a mini vacation south of the border.

With its focus on bold flavors, polished service, and local charm, South of KDG is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for food lovers on the OBX. Come hungry—and leave inspired.
