If you’re like most who visit the Outer Banks each year for memorable family vacations, then you undoubtedly have a list of favorite restaurants that are a must-visit on each and every crusade to the coast. From scores of seafood places to Italian restaurants and more, the Outer Banks is home to many restaurants worthy of being on that list. Over the last two and a half decades, Chilli Peppers in Kill Devil Hills has amassed quite the following. If you’ve never eaten at this time-honored restaurant, then here’s what you’ll discover on your first visit:

Located right on the N. Croatan Highway, Chilli Peppers dishes up both traditional coastal seafood entrees and international dishes that have a bit of a southwestern flair.

The lunch, dinner, and brunch menus feature seafood in a variety of ways, including fried platters, steamed and pots, pasta, and their beloved shrimp and grits — a popular item on the brunch menu.

You can satiate your seafood craving with everything from crab cakes to fish and chips at Chilli Peppers. But there is oh-so much more on their menu. So much, in fact, that Chilli Peppers also dubs itself a pupuseria.

Dipping into their international offerings, pupusas are a dish originating in the Central American country of San Salvador.

(For those of us who've never traveled to San Salvador, the pupusa is a main dish there. It's comparable to a flatbread that's stuffed with fillings like cheese and a variety of vegetables, for instance.)
You'll find a variety of the best international choices on the menu at this pupuseria (a.k.a. Chilli Peppers). From Baja tacos, to Mexican quesadillas, burritos, chimmichangas, and enchiladas.

The menu is the perfect blend of coastal and international food with something to please just about everyone.
But Chilli Peppers doesn't stop with some of the best cuisine on the coast. There is also a full bar, dining space outside in the fresh ocean air, and live music filling the space on many days.
