I was worried when I saw such mixed reviews but we really enjoyed the food. The service was great also but it did take a while for our food to come out. We loved the cornbread bread service! Delicious! I had the broth based clam chowder and thought it was great. For my meal I had the fish taco app from the specials menu. It was burger night and my husband had the Frenchie burger and subbed the grit cake in place of fries and said it was all very good. My son had chicken tenders off of the kids menu. They were your standard chicken tenders so nothing to write home about there. Overall our experience was very nice.

Amazing food and friendly people! We sat at the bar and our bartender (never caught her name) was as sweet as they come!! We even got a special treat, live music by Jack Colgan. He was fantastic and made the night extra special for us! The menu has so many great dishes we are going to go twice to try more things! This is a must while in the OBX

We ate here while on vacation. The restaurant is huge, with multiple dining rooms. Our hostess sat us at a window table with a perfect view of the Osprey nest. We watched them come and go throughout our meal. We received outstanding service from our server. He was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great attitude. I started with a glass of Riesling. My wife and I shared the She Crab soup at our server's suggestion and a mixed salad. That soup was incredible! It was thick like a chowder and packed with jumbo lump crab pieces. The vinaigrette dressing complimented the salad perfectly and truly elevated the taste. We then shared (for a $4 spilt plate fee) the flounder. We had it broiled. It came with a baked potato and Cole slaw. Everything was delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly. The baked potato was too. Their tartar sauce was a great addition as well. The experience overall was great.

Good Food. Great wine list. Service is above and beyond. If your in the area you'll love the food and if it's the season. There is an Osbrey nest outside the dining room over the water. I'd recommend the '19 TRIMBACH RESILING with your fish. Reaalllly effing good!

Named after the Basnight Family, I recommend this place hands down. Friendly service & so much delicious food that you can taste the love that they put in it. Great panoramic views of the ocean no matter where you sit. We'll definitely go back when I go to NC again!

Terrific seafood! I had a bowl of their She-Crab Soup which was some of the best I've ever had. I was very full with the soup and a side salad. The salad came out of their organic garden. It doesn't get any fresher than that unless you're having their fish. Most of which was swimming when you were having breakfast. My wife had their crab cakes and proclaimed them to be fantastic. She is a bonafide crab cake snob and to win her praise is an achievement of the highest order. Basnight's is a very casual place with ample seating for groups so bring the entire crowd. They have a full bar and an extensive wine cellar.
