When you're craving that classic burger-and-fries combo — but want it plant-based and with a pint on the side — head straight to McGrath’s Burger Shack, an Irish-style pub-meets-beach-shack tucked away in Kill Devil Hills. 🇮🇪🍟 It’s a chill, coastal gem where the beer is cold, the fries are hot, and the Beyond Burger is ready to rock your vegan world.
🍀 McGrath’s isn’t just a burger joint — it’s a laid-back Irish bar with OBX flavor. Think emerald green accents, Guinness on tap, wood-paneled charm, and that warm, friendly energy that only a pub can offer. It’s the kind of spot where locals grab a drink, visitors stop in for comfort food, and everyone feels like a regular.
🍔 Let’s talk about that Beyond Burger. It was grilled to juicy, flavorful perfection — complete with fresh lettuce, tomato, tangy pickles, and all the classic fixings. The bun? Toasted and soft. The whole combo? A bite of vegan bliss. It had that satisfying, indulgent vibe you want from a burger, but totally plant-powered. I didn’t miss a thing.
🍟 But real talk — the fries stole the show. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, seasoned just right. Total gold-standard fries. You’ll eat every last one (and then steal a few from your friend’s plate — no judgment).
🎉 Visiting in the summer? Don’t miss Trivia Night on Wednesdays! The bar turns into a lively hangout with laughs, local teams, and fun prizes. Grab a vegan burger, a pint of something cold, and join in the midweek good times. It’s the perfect way to mix great eats with OBX nightlife — all while staying plant-based.
🌱 Be sure to ask for the Beyond Burger and let them know you want it fully vegan (skip the cheese, mayo, or buttered bun — staff is super helpful and accommodating).
✨ Why McGrath’s Stands Out in OBX
✅ Beyond Burger with Pub Flair: Hearty, flavorful, and grilled with care — served in a cozy Irish bar setting.
✅ Crispy Fries You’ll Crave: Salty, golden, and totally addicting.
✅ Irish Pub Meets Beach Shack: Unique OBX energy with Irish charm and beach-town hospitality.
✅ Summer Trivia Nights: Every Wednesday — good food, cold drinks, and a little friendly competition.
✅ Come As You Are: Whether you’re sandy from the beach or dressed for trivia night, you’ll fit right in.
🌈 McGrath’s Burger Shack proves that even the most classic pub food can go vegan — and go deliciously vegan. Whether you're here for burgers, beers, or brainy trivia night glory, it’s a feel-good spot that checks all the boxes.
