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.

We went off season at 5:15p. Ordered steaks and left by 5:45! It was fast, absolutely delicious, great customer service and they don't make you feel rushed! Seating areas are more secluded than most steak houses and I LOVED that!

John provided excellent personal service as this was a special occasion for us, 50 th wedding anniversary. Food, especially the cowboy ribeye was exceptional, perfect at medium rare. Thank you for a very special night!

We waited 10 minutes before my wife was able to flag down a server to wait on us. We ordered our rib eyes a “strong” medium. They came out medium rare! For nearly $200 for 2 people dining, I expected a lot better. Probably won’t return.

This place did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the service impeccable! Our server, Dan, was very attentive and made our dinner very enjoyable. They do not take reservations but we arrived right before they opened with a line of people waiting and were seated right away. Our server was able to answer my questions regarding wine selections and knew the menu well. Don’t skip the bread! It’s delicious! We will definitely eat here again next time we are in the area!

The only reason I did not leave five stars is because the sweet tea is not sweet. Other than that, the staff were polite and friendly, the dining area was clean, and the food was delicious. I had the Brisket Special and my wife had the JK Special. Yes, the price is a little steep, but it is worth it.
