Oysters were a joke. Very limited menu with nothing you would expect from a place named Raw Bar. The trigger fish special was nice.

The only reason I'm giving it four stars is that they serve everything in styrofoam and plastic. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great, full of local flavor. I had the steamed shrimp, hush puppies and coleslaw. Freshest seafood I've had in a while. Beers for under $4 and a great selection of local seafood. A definite must if you are out on OBX.

I had a nice lunch. Bartender was friendly. But I had my service canine - no problem - until I was abruptly and rudely by the manager, asked to leave, of course, after I paid my bill of $40. Plus tip. She said loudly “ we don’t allow dogs unless you’re deaf or blind” You know, I’m reasonable and understand rules but there’s no need to be rude and disrespectful.

A local place with local flare. Left feeling like family. But the food was off the chart! You have got to try the triggerfish if it's in season.

If I could give them 10 star I would! The best seafood anywhere in Outer Banks! Triggerfish plate is to die for. Staff is super friendly and great to customers. Alot of locals but they're very inviting and friendly!

Friendly service and tasty food but please please please can you charge a little more for your menu items, upgrade your packaging and do away with PFAS / waxed basket liners and styrofoam cups. These items are not recyclable or compostable and simply end up in NC's landfills. Many states have banned these substrates and when you're aware of the proven negative health implications, it takes away all the good from your food. Google PFAS and styrofoam and please make an easy, positive change. Thanks!

Our foursome stopped here for dinner Tuesday night. We came for seafood. One couple got the fried Platter, which they enjoyed & and recommended. We opted for the steamed seafood Platter. Crab legs were good. Oysters good flavor bit stone cold on arrival. The scallops would have been OK, but they were unevenly seasoned with lemon pepper - dumped like the lid came off. Fries & hush puppies were good. The environment was like a frat party, at the bar lots of screaming and chanting. Two of the men took off their shirts and did put them back on eventually. Maybe going at 3 or 4 instead of 6 would have been better. The prices were very high considering the environment and quality of food. The service was very good, everyone was friendly!
