Diners can await a view of a couple of osprey affectionately known as Lucy and Ricky. Their large craggy nest is perched on a tree in the Roanoke Sound, at the perfect height for Lone Cedar diners. Read more

Great crab soup, scallops were on point, great fish (they will even cook your catch). Very big with interesting decor. Amazing qui slit food with great service!

Such a gem! A beautiful garden w an amazing view over the sound and the most amazing sunset!!! The seafood & veggies (obviously) are very fresh. There are NO hush puppies. Skip the crab dip.

Love this place! Love their calamari, tilefish and shrimp in herb butter, & seafood platter. Great local seafood! Great bar atmosphere too.

Beautiful views, delicious food, but the service could use an upgrade. A little under qualified.

Go at night. Brunch menu consists of five things but they ran out of turkey. On top of that the catch of the day is the same as anothet menu item. Not much to choose from.

Food was great. We sat at the bar, great drink specials and entree portions are big enough for two.

Best she crab soup in OBX! Or try the Asian shrimp - it's spicy fried shrimp and doesn't really go too Asian.

Their burger comes with just cheese and they put about as much time into it as McDonald's. Burger was sitting on the top "bun" making it soggy and the bottom one is hard as a rock.

Get the crab dip!! It's really good! It was gone in a minute we ate it so fast!

Try the Asian shrimp as an appetizer. Blackened Trout was amazing!
