Chilli Peppers Restaurant
3001 N. Croatan Hwy., MP 5 1/2, Kill Devil Hills, NC
Jim Douglas, Owner, (252) 441-8081

This is the spot you've been looking for, serving creative cooking with a Southwestern flair with tastes from around the world. The menu changes frequently, with daily lunch and dinner specials offered. Chilli Peppers is a casual, fun place with entertainment going on late at night. A full bar is separated from the dining area and offers a nice wine selection, margaritas anad a variety of beer.

Some of my favorite entrees are the Peanut-Cilantro Crusted Tuna Steak, and the Creamy Green Chili Jumbo-Lump crabmeat Enchilada Stack with spiced rice, black beans and sour cream cocktail sauce. Try the nachos appetizer; it's a meal in itself.

Chilli Peppers is a four-time winner of the Outer Banks Association Chowder Cookoff. They received the prestigious Scovie Award for their award-winning Cataloupe Habanero Hot Sauce and have won many other International awards.

Lunch and dinner are served seven days a week year round. Weekend brunches feature a Sunday Bloody Mary Brunch. Be sure to take home a bottle of Chilli's award-winning hot sauce.
