Help us make it rightHands down the best porterhouse steak I've ever had. Way better than Ruth's Chris. Plus, the bread is 5 stars!!!
Good steaks but not as good as the place across the street, in Timbuk II. That also means it's easier to get into JK's on most nights. Good bread. Nice selection of fish, chicken, and steaks. Simple presentation. Dark but calm decor. Take out available. Good service.
The food here was very good. Amazingly, we walked right in with a party of 11 and were seated immediately. While it was a bit pricey, the quality of the food made it worth the price. The tile fish special was a nice surprise but it was a bit greasy. Everyone enjoyed the crab cakes and the seafood bisque …
After looking in Duck/Corolla for over 1 1/2 hours with 4 kids in tow, we found JK's. It was awesome! They seated our party of 6 right away. Service was prompt and friendly and our dinners were delicious! I had the chicken picata - super yum!. The fried oyster appetizer was excellent. My sons had the kids …
We happened upon JKs randomly and decided to try it. It wasn't very crowded yet not empty either. They were very accommodating to one person in our party who was dairy free and gave me a new drink when I didn't like the first one I'd ordered. I loved my chicken and ate everything on my plate and everyone …
They have Burger Night, where fresh sirloin is ground up for out-of-this-world burgers. Steaks are also awesome. Only complaint is that sound really travels, so if you have noisy customers there, you will hear them throughout the restaurant. Otherwise, first-rate experience - Owner is super friendly and welcoming.
I think the best white tablecloth place for dinner onthe OBX. Be prepared, it is a bit pricy. But the food was prepared perfectly and woth the price.
Our first night in OBX, after driving 5 hours, tired and hungry; we find JK's by a stroke of luck. I wanted steak!!! This is the place to find it. They had a full rack of lamb on special, well, that's all you had to say to me. My companion had a chicken dish that was out of this world....
Pricey, but the steaks were tasty and cooked perfectly. Shrimp skewers had excellent seasoning. Wasn't impressed with the kids menu - the least expensive item was the rubbed chicken breast which was very salty/spicy. Nice place - I'm sure we will be back.
Although we were tempted to snub our noses at a steak place in a strip mall, we decided their menu looked great, and we should give it a try. And I am so glad we did! JK's ended up being one of the best meals we had all week, gaining a coveted spot on our "must have" list for next...
My traveling companion loves steak, so after some research we found JK's restaurant in a nearby shopping complex. The service was good and unlike many restaurants in Corolla, this one actually had some ambience. The steak was good, but like other restaurants we visited in that area, they did not have any A-1 sauce for the steak (or any steak...
I never submit reviews, but felt like I had to after returning from our meal. Our son gobbled up his fish of the day right before our eyes, even with the generous portion. He even ate the snap peas right up! Our steaks were fabulous, cooked correctly and accompanied by a huge potion of red skin mashed potatoes and vegetables....
Notwithstanding the drips from the sweating air conditioning ducts, which was a product of the humidity, the food and service here were very good. A party of 11 shouldn't be able to walk into a restaurant of this quality and get seated right away. Being right next to the Food Lion probably doesn't help the reputation, but ignore that and...
JK's food was excellent! DO NOT let the location (Food Lion anchored shopping center) dissuade you from go to JKs. The staff was very friendly and helpful - we had a 30 minute wait, but allowed us to go do some shopping and they called in advance of our seating....very kind!. The room was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It...
Our group of 6 decided to try this after reading the many good reviews. We were very disappointed with the quality of the food. The staff was pleasant, but the menu was extremely overpriced. The pasta from the kids menu was a larger portion than the adult chicken Caesar salad. The baby back ribs were mostly bone and far. The...
We were so happy to be able to make reservations and not stress out while on vacation over a meal! The atmosphere was excellent and the waitress good. The appetizer North Carolina Quail was finger licking good. There was not a hot entree for vegetarians. I had the wedge salad and the rochfort/blue cheese was runny and thin. There was...
Although small, JKs restaurant in Corolla was exceptional. The mixed grill I had was phenomenal: salmon, crab cake which was all crab, and steak kebob. What makes JKs so great is the steaks of course. My wife had the petite filet mignon, which she said was very tasty. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to families with children. The...
We had a great time at JKs for a friend's birthday dinner. There were 6 of us girls and we had the best evening! The tobacco fried lobster bites were amazing. Saturday night is JK's special burger night so I had to try -- it was the best burger of my life! Others tried seafood specials and we were all...
We tried the Corolla, Outer Banks location of this restaurant we love and visit once a year. We were skeptical that it might not be as absolutely wonderful as the one in Kill Devil Hills but were thrilled that it, indeed, is just as good. The steaks are wonderful and the sides cooked with care and beautifully seasoned. I rarely...
Went with family and had great Delicious apps. Salad and soup fresh and tasty. Entrees. Excellent and yummy. A bit pricey but well worth it for our family. Excellent waitstaff with attention to detail
Actually referred here by a friend who lives in the area.Had reservations for 7pm arrived 5 mins prior and were told it would be a 45 minute wait,Dining area is very limited no bar either,Got seated in 8 minutes and to make a long story short.The service was the only bright spot.The atmosphere was loud.Tables are on top of each...
Ok experience. Decent filet- neededa sauce though. Underwhelming presentation but tasty mashedPotatoes and creamedSpinach. Service was friendly and attentive, nice atmosphere too!
My family visited JKs on June 28, 2012. We had been reading the reviews and it appeared that the food was fabulous. Unfortunately we were highly disappointed. We waited an hour even though we had a reservation. I had the filet mignon and it was charbroiled on the outside but right on the inside but without much flavor. The crab...
I had the mixed grill - the fillet was cooked to perfection and quite tender. The fish, cobia, was flaky and moist with an excellent sauce. The crab cake was all crab with little to no filler. The snap peas were sweet and crispy. The potatoes were delicious. All in all - wonderful.
My wife brought honm some JKs steak rub from a craft fair two years ago....we love it. When I saw the ad here on the OBX channel for JKs last year I just had to take her and surprise her. Laid back and semi casual with great steaks. We ate here last summer and might go back...(but there are so...
If you like dry rub ribs this is the place. Get the full rack & have lunch the next day. Great bread.
The place does not look like much from the outside but it is nice inside.
We were pleased to try the new JK's Restaurant location which recently opened in Corolla. We enjoyed beautifully prepared and delicious seafood dishes. My husband had a special request for the preparation of his fish and they were very accomodating. We followed our meal with DELICIOUS deserts. The service was attentive and professional. Kudos to this group for having such...
For a strip mall place we were very Impressed. There was 6 of us. We were all impressed. A little pricy but awesome food and service.
If you like baby back ribs, this is the place. The ribs are marinated for 3 days in apple cider then dry rubbed and cooked to perfection. The large portion is 1.5 lbs of ribs and ll of us had half of the ribs left over for lunch the next day. (Yes, all four of us had the ribs). We...
We dined at JK's in Corolla during our week staying in Corolla. All four of us had great meals -- daughter & I had the filet & shrimp combo, DH had the filet, son-in-law had the prime rib, and toddler granddaughter had bowtie pasta with marinara sauce. All were excellent -- steaks were cooked perfectly & very tender. Meat dishes...
When you want a good steak this is the place to go on the Outer Banks. Wonderful sides and always served the way you want it!
Food was well below average, even the sodas tasted bad. The hostess insisted that all sodas taste like that at the beach. No they don't.
Second Year in Corolla....you want a great steak? Go Hear
When I went inside, the back of the store was unclean which was odd due to how slow they were..I was the only customer in there and he was watching a movie on his laptop and eating so I can only imagine the amount of business they have had today. The employee was nice and worked on my food immediately....
Over our many years of visiting Corolla on the Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina we have eaten at J.K.'s on several occasions.
As always the food was excellent and the service impeccable. This year the portions seemed a little smaller and the prices higher. Adding a house salad was now priced so that it was a consideration whether to...
Dined during Labor Day week. JKs is right next to Food Lion. Decor was quite nice and unexpected for a strip mall. Arrived around 6:30 and it was busy but we were seated right away. Friend had a couple glasses of wine, I had tea. Each ordered a starter salad and they were huge. I'd share next time. Server also...
This place needs prompt inspection by the health department... Went in to grab carry out and walked out without buying it after I saw the kitchen (disaster!).
I had a combo of skewered filet migon, blackened mahi and crabcake with mashed potatoes and snow peas. All were delicious. It was $28.
My wife had the grouper special. I came with rice pilaf and the snow peas. It was $30.
The portions were small and might not be enough for some, but I had plenty to eat. I...
Oh. My. Goodness. A local recommended this to us and I'm so glad we listened! We've had fresh fish in Hawaii, Massachusetts, etc., and my husband and I agreed the grouper special that I ordered here was the best fish we've ever tasted. Ever. The service was stellar, our waitress very personable and attentive, and the ambiance was romantic and...
Just opened in April near Food Lion. Nice atmosphere with candle light, not too loud. Went with 2 families and really enjoyed the meal. Ribs were dry rubbed, excellent flavor, kids and parents loved them. Pan seared grouper with crab was cooked just right, until flaking, and was delicious. Grilled trio with blackened Mahi, steak ka-bob and grilled shrimp was...
New Location in Strip Mall next to Food Lion for JK's,
Great Service and the food was well prepared and very tasty. The Steak and Shrimp were done to perfection.
Nice ambiance and a great escape from the typical beach type eaterys.
Flavorless food and questionable cleanliness. I would pass on the Chinese during your visit to Corolla. Not worth the risk.
This restaurant was very clean, food was prepared in good time and we loved everything: fried rice, chicken & broccoli, Dragon & Phoenix, crab wontons, steamed dumplings and egg rolls. We fed 8 people for $60 with plenty of leftovers.
Give this restaurant a chance!
2/2011 Opening up where the Outerbanks Seafood Company was. (next to the food lion in Corolla)
Even if you have the MSG/Chinese food urges, resist! This place is nasty. Typical strip-mall Chinese, just way dirtier and even more stale (didn’t it was possible) then most strip-mall Chinese joints.
Total waste of money. Run across the lot to the Food Lion and pickup some Chinese food you can heat up at the rental, save time, money, and...
But, it's gone baby gone. It's now Mike Dianna's Grill.
THis is the only chinese place in Corolla, so if you want Chinese, this is your only choice. Unfortunately the place is very dirty and the quality of the food is very bad. WHile it is not so far from most "Number 1" style chinese places, it has very little redeeming qualities. The food did not seem remotely fresh and...
