Rundown
5218 N Va Dare Trail, Kitty Hawk, NC
Crema's Take
“Rundown is where the Outer Banks comes to eat fresh seafood and drink well, with a kitchen that consistently nails everything from spicy mango habanero wings to poke bowls and shrimp tacos. The outdoor seating, dog-friendly patio, and genuinely warm staff make it feel less like a tourist trap and more like the local spot everyone actually goes to, which explains why it's packed with repeat visitors who treat it like their neighborhood cafe.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.
