“Great and easy stop for ice cream in Manteo. If you're looking for ice cream but dont want to look for parking this is the place. The guy running it was super nice and the ice cream was good. This is a no frills ice cream place so dont expect anything fancy but it is a hood place to stop on the way back from the aquarium“

Heath Bar Fudge

“Great ice cream, and I could tell it is homemade from the quality. While some of these reviews point out the ice cream isn’t inexpensive, you’re on the coast so I guess you can go to a chain if that bothers you. The cookie dough in particular had huge chunks and is probably the best I’ve had in a long time!“

“The best ice cream on the beach! It’s all homemade using the finest ingredients. The flavor combos the master chef creates will give you a treat that cannot be matched anywhere else. I try to get something different each visit but everything is so delicious it’s hard not to want a scoop of the flavors I already love plus try something new that I know I’ll enjoy just as much! This place is a 10 out of 10!!!“

“First time visitors to Booty Treats Ice Cream in Nags Head. We have for several years in a row, ice creamed at a shop on the south end of Virginia Dare Trail. After stopping there, we were not happy with the service or the serving sizes for the price. So we decided to try Booty Treats north location. What a difference! Decent pricing. Fast service (13 in our group and had our ice cream within minutes of ordering). Pricing was about 20% less than the other shop, serving sizes were larger and the ice cream was way better. We have a new ice cream stop when we visit the Banks. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I've been coming down to the Outer Banks every November for the past 32 years. Somehow I had never ran across this gem. The coffee and ice cream are perfect. We really enjoyed the malt. I also thoroughly enjoyed their specialty menu for The Fall season! We went several days and enjoyed the view, everyone that we met who worked there was great! We loved the swanky seating, the eccentric seating, and the overall beauty of this place! HIGHLY recommend checking it out!!!“

“I’ve been coming to the Outer Banks for 30 years. I remember getting the best burger on the OBX at this restaurant. Apparently they have stopped serving food. That is not the issue. I called up to ask if they no longer serve burgers, and was told “this isn’t McDonald’s”. I don’t appreciate being spoken to that way from a worker of a restaurant I want to spend my money at. If they can’t train their staff to have better customer service, I cannot imagine how poorly they treat customers at the restaurant. Very disappointed.“

“This is the best pizza I have ever had. I've had a ton of pizza from a bunch of pizza places and none of them come close to tasting as good as this pizza. Me and my family live 5 hours away and when we come down here for our vacation this is the thing I look forward to the most. I would move down here to the beach just for this pizza. This is the first time my girlfriend came down to the beach with me for our vacation and all she could say was wow because it was that good.“

“I have been vacationing here in Nags Head for the past 9 years. We LOVE the Outer Banks area. So laid back and relaxing. My husband & I actually own 6 weeks in a villa from Mid February to End of March to escape the Winter snow of upstate NY. One of my MUST VISITS is this Sugar Planet! I love the variety of candies that you can mix by the scoop fulls of my favorites. They also have nostalgic candies and some I’ve never even heard of before. Don’t be fooled by the name 'Sugar Planet'. Clothing, mugs, jewelry, hats, etc. It could almost be your one stop shop for all souvenirs! I’ve been in here 3 times alone in the past two weeks! Michelle was extremely helpful as I was looking for something special to take back for my daughter-in-laws. Together we found the ‘perfect’ items! Thank you Michelle. Today there was a young man training at the checkout, Carlos, was very kind and polite. I do love this Southern Hospitality!“
