Goombays Grille and Rawbar

Milepost 7 Beach Road
Kill Devil Hills NC

For me Goombays is not as good as our FAB FOUR, but it is still a very good spot to visit. Goombay's has a great beach atmosphere, and has painted and decorated the main dining room to replicate being underwater. Their bar is great, with a good selection of beers, and the Goombay Smash! It is also a good mix of locals and tourists. Goombay's has several good dishes to eat, starting with a very good raw bar. Their steamed combos are excellent for either lunch or dinner. In addition to the raw bar, there are several solid menu items to pick from. The Caribbean Creole Pasta is an excellent choice that includes Gulf Shrimp, Andouille Sausage and Crawfish tails in a spicy tomato broth and vegetables, all served over pasta. The fish tacos are very good as well, and they start with tuna instead of the mahi mahi used in some of the other local establishments. Goombays also has excellent nightly specials using fresh local seafood, and often prepped Jamaican style. There are also very good appetizer and sandwich selections including their Award winning Caribbean wings, and jalapeno cheeseburger. One can even extract their revenge on a maneater, by having AL-E-GATOR, a deep fried plate of alligator nuggets. Finally, Goombay's has a great list of deserts, highlighted by some excellent key lime pie. I find Goombay's to be a solid choice in the Kill Devil Hills area, especially if you want some raw bar, or sandwiches and bar food in a nice laid back beach atmosphere. We would give it 4 of 5 stars if you are visiting the Kill Devil Hills area, it is worth a try one night.
