Roadside Bar & Grill
Our verdict
Roadside Bar & Grill is a good Duck pick for a casual seafood-and-grill meal, especially for families, groups, patio dining, and late-night plans. Book it for shrimp and grits, crab cakes, clam chowder, beer, cocktails, and a relaxed cottage setting; skip it if the night needs a deep wine program, private dining, or tasting-menu polish.
