Mahi Mahi's Island Grill

Overview:

Mahi Mahi's is a restaurant in Nags Head North Carolina. It is an island grill with many different seafood options including shrimp, salmon, shellfish, and their namesake, mahi. There is dine-in and takeout available but they get busy quickly during their dinner service.

Seafood Platter

Ribeye Steak

Mahi-Mahi Reuben

The Food:

We ordered many dishes at Mahi Mahi's. For starters, we got the beef empanadas, oysters casino, and NC crab dip. The crab dip was smooth and full of meat. I thought the empanadas were fried to perfection and came with a creamy dipping sauce. If you like oysters, get the oysters casino. They are put on a salt bed and topped with breadcrumbs, pickled jalapenos, and bacon! For our main courses, we had the seafood platter, ribeye steak, and mahi-mahi Reuben. The seafood platter included fried mahi tuna bites, seared scallops, fried shrimp, french fries, and coleslaw. On the platter, my favorite part was the buttery-seared scallops. The ribeye was cooked well, and the mahi-mahi reuben was an interesting twist on a classic Reuben. 

Service:

The service we experienced at Mahi Mahi's was great. Our waitress took care of us during our visit and made sure we had what we needed during our meal. 

Atmosphere:

I believe the inside of Mahi Mahi's creates a warm and welcoming environment. The walls are colored with bright colors and the decoration fits the island grill theme. Once you walk into the dining room, it opens up to a high ceiling and a large room. There is also a bar inside the dining room to the left. 

Rating: Excellent |⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐|
