Horrible experience. I've never been to any restaurant and been told no so many times. No we can't do separate checks for your group of 6, no we can't take your order now I'm just getting drinks then I'll come back, no we can't warm up your cold seared tuna it's supposed to be like that.(cold) and to top it off a 20% tip already added in to our overpriced Horrible experience. We won't be back, nor will our families or friends....DONT GO!!!!!

This has been the best meal I've had here in the Outer Banks so far! I had fried oysters and sauteed zucchini. My husband had the Avon burger, which has egg, bacon, cheese, and onion on it, with fries, and we split onion rings. Not only were the oysters terrific, but I enjoyed the zucchini just as much. The onion rings were great as well, and my husband said the burger was delicious. The prices were also decent. Would definitely come here again.

We enjoyed our lunch here... with 4 kids under 8 we were looking for something super casual and low-key, and it fit the bill. Service was excellent - our waitress was extremely friendly and made insightful recommendations on menu items. Prices were reasonable and the food was a good step or two better than just edible, so it was a nice experience.

I’m very particular about restaurant food and often find it bland or disappointing. That wasn’t the case here. I ordered the tuna griller and my wife had the mahi tacos—both were excellent. The fish was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Our server, Taylor, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and kind. This is now my go-to spot whenever I’m in Hatteras.

This was our 1st time at this restaurant and let me just say they have the sweetest servers/staff. Our breakfast was so amazing! Such a wonderful atmosphere. We were treated like family from the moment we walked in. Hard to come by nowadays.
My wife and I came here for dinner and everything was fantastic! Our server was great and the food was delicious. The hushpuppies were the best we’ve ever had!
We had the shrimp and scallops plate, mahi mahi tacos and buffalo chicken sandwich and enjoyed them all. Additionally the gluten free hamburger was amazing. We loved the Mojitos too. The Jamaican chicken sandwich was dry but the bun was great. The nachos were not so great. NOTE: Isabella is an AMAZING server. When we first arrived, we had a guy as our server. He was unfriendly and even rude. We requested Isabella as we were familiar with her from Ketch 55. Thank goodness the manager allowed us to switch.

I had an amazing dining experience at Oceana’s Bistro, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Twig and Dan for making it extra special. From the moment we walked in, they made us feel genuinely welcome and taken care of.
Twig was incredibly attentive, friendly, and had a great sense of timing—always there when we needed something, but never overbearing. Dan was just as fantastic, offering thoughtful suggestions and keeping the energy upbeat and positive throughout our meal.
Both of them worked seamlessly together to create a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. It’s clear they really care about the guest experience, and it showed in every interaction.
On top of that, the food was delicious and came out perfectly paced. You can tell this place runs smoothly thanks to an awesome team, and Twig and Dan are definitely a big part of that.
Highly recommend dining here—and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Twig and Dan, you’re in for a treat!

Food was amazing! Got the blackened Mahi, the seasoning was perfect. Grilled shrimp, perfectly flavored. Onion rings were nice and crunchy. Had live music while we were there, had a lovely time. Service was great!

I love Oceana's. Every time we come to the outer banks we go at least once for shrimp tacos. They are always delicious!

Casual dining, but delicious options spanning from the usual of burgers to the beachside fare you desire of the Outerbanks with seafood options ranging from steamed shrimp to sandwiches, to entrees. Nice local feel with the tourist options necessary for a beachside restaurant. Service was great, prices reasonable, food amazing!
