Avenue Waterfront Grille

I never write reviews, but loved Avenue Waterfront so much that I feel I have to share. I came here with my non-vegan/vegetarian parents and we all loved it! Beautiful view and great service, everyone here is so friendly and welcoming. The owner, who is vegan, introduced herself and chatted for a bit about the restaurant and its history. She owns it with her husband, a meat eater, so there is something here for everyone. I had the Shala Shala salad, Tuna Sushi Style with crispy tofu, and Donut Holes for dessert. All vegan and super yummy! Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are clearly marked on the menu.

The restaurant is owned by a vegan (and her husband is the chef), so there are more vegan options here than at other restaurants in the area. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free items are clearly marked on their menu. I loved the Hippie burger and locally brewed root beer -- yum! Pretty location on the water and friendly staff. Highly recommended! I'd give this 5 out of 5 stars if Happy Cow would let me.

We are so happy this place exists--it is wonderful! The owner and the staff are so welcoming and the food is so delicious! The vegan selections are clearly marked and there are many from which to choose. A couple of our favorites are the Smashed Potatoes with Hummus (appetizer), the crispy tofu tacos, or the homemade Hippie Burger. The waterfront location is ideal, too. They have a nice patio and when weather permits we love to bring our dog and sit outside. Such an OBX gem!
(Note: I would give this place 5 stars- however, Happy Cow only allows total veg restaurants to be rated as five stars, so 4 stars is the highest rating this place can receive)
