JK’s Restaurant in Kill Devil Hills, Milepost 9, is the place for steak on the Outer Banks, serving only the finest cuts, aged in-house, and hand-carved by our in-house butcher. Our beef and signature ribs are sourced exclusively from the Midwest, known for superior marbling, tenderness, and flavor.
We proudly serve fresh, locally sourced seafood, often brought in straight from the docks by friends and fishermen we’ve known for years. Our chicken is free-range, and every dish is prepared over our one-of-a-kind, cast-iron, wood-fired mesquite grill, delivering a bold, unforgettable flavor.
All entrées include the fresh vegetable of the day and your choice of rice pilaf or our signature mashed potatoes. Finish your meal with one of our house-made desserts, crafted fresh daily.
Pair your dinner with a drink from our full-service bar featuring premium cocktails, local and imported beer, and an extensive wine list. Our wine program honors JK’s long-standing tradition of offering exceptional selections at every price point, because a great bottle should always have a place at the table.

- MMMANAmericaDec 30, 20251.0The hostess doesn’t know how to pick people as they come in the door and seems to pick and choose whoever they want and the prices for your steaks are criminal. It’s obvious this is the only steakhouse in town that’s open because their gouging is ridiculous. The parboiled “dry rubbed”ribs were like jerky. I got out of there for 80 bucks and I’m still hungry. I got the JK special which is filet mignon and shrimp. It’s about 2 ounces of filet mignon and six shrimp and the fillet was ice cold. I really not impressed with this restaurant.

- MBMr BNov 23, 20251.0Make sure you are a regular here or you will have people come in and get seated before you. Had the $80.00 dollar steak and have to say it was the worst I ever had, had it done medium rare and it was so tuff could barely cut it my son had the ribs and they were over cooked Texas Roadhouse has better food for way less money no one in our party was impressed at all. Spent $285.00 way over priced save your self some money and go somewhere else
