- MMMichael McDermott4 days ago3.0Did not have the Oysters so I can't rate them on that. But the overpriced Filet Mignon and way overpriced small Lobster tail was as definitely not worth it. The Crab and Lobster bisque was the best I have had in a long time. And would probably only get that if I ever go back. The hush puppies were good but came with the dinner or else I would have never tried them.
- CMChris Maust5 days ago5.0One of our favorite places to eat when we visit the Outer Banks! We’ve loved everything we’ve tried there. Great friendly service too. We feel like this is where the locals eat!
- ODOlga DedovaOct 16, 20255.0Tasty oysters and perfectly steamed snow crab legs prepared and served at the raw bar by Brendan, who made dinner even more enjoyable - thank you Brendan!
- JTJen ThompsonOct 7, 20254.0We had oysters and clams. Both were very good. I do not eat clams because they are usually gritty. These were not at all! I even ordered a 2nd round. Most of the menu is fried which I was hoping for more of a fresh option but for what we went for, oysters, they were great!
- CHC HOct 2, 20251.0Went here several times in the past and it was great. After this trip, won't be back. Husband got surf and turf - worst steak he ever had. Crabcake okay but not as good as previously. Scallops fried with no flavor. Got key lime pie to go. It had either gone bad, or was just awful to start with. Threw it away. Will NEVER go back.
