An octopus has three hearts, and here at the Rundown Cafe, our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you to those of you who have come out and allowed us feed you. We've had some very generous customers, who have tipped above the norm to get money into the hands of our servers. Thank you to those of you who've shared their supportive thoughts from afar. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as it's safe! Mostly, thank you to our incredible crew, who are working as hard as ever and adapting with us as we all try to find the best path through this crisis.

Finally, we are calling on all friends of the Rundown Cafe to help where they can. If you live on the Outer Banks, please come by for some takeout, or buy a gift certificate to use later. The social media love is great, but it doesn't put wages in the pockets of our staff. If you don't live on the Outer Banks, we'd love to send you a gift certificate by mail, or support your own local favorites. At the end of this situation, not every restaurant will be able to re-open their doors. We intend to be one of the survivors!

“Best place on the Beach to eat!! We have going to Run Down Cafe for over 10 years. The food is always delicious, the wait staff is really attentive, fun decor with a Caribbean vibe. The owner Michael puts his heart and soul into making it a place you want to return to often. Try the fish burritos or my favorite the huge salad with grilled tuna and Journey's End House Dressing. Yummy!”
