Dirty Dick's Crab House - Nags Head

I could seriously live on the fried green tomatoes. Seriously. I mean, the shrimp is great, the key lime pie will curl your toes and make your eyes roll back in your head, but I could eat nothing but the fried green tomatoes (hint, they are tipped with crab) for the rest of my life and be happy.

We came with a bus group and the service was outstanding! Val was pleasant & a model of efficiency! Very patient with our busload of modwesterners! We enjoyed our meals, too!

The food was amazing! Best seafood we’ve had in a long time! Saxan was a great server too. She was super friendly and attentive☺️ I would highly recommend this place 🦀

Everyone at this restaurant was attentive to allergies we brought to their attention and chef even came out to confirm ingredients in food to ensure they were fine. Sheri was an excellent waitress!! 10/10 service!She was extremely personable and helpful! I would highly recommend this restaurant and Sheri!

We are currently sitting in the restaurant and informed our server of a food allergy to artificial color. We ordered two appetizers and asked that the ingredients be checked for safety. Server brought out our appetizers (fried pickles and fried calamari) and we asked for confirmation that the food was safe for a member of our party, a child. Server said they didn’t have time to check and didn’t know what to tell us. Attitude was flippant and indifferent. Rather surprised at the response and the message delivered to us was “oh well, I don’t know what to tell you. You’re going to have to figure that out yourself.” We left without ordering entrees and will never return. Extremely disappointed and absolutely disgusted with the behavior the server Andy displayed.

This place is fanaminal!!! The food was so good,the service was great. We definitely recommend this place.

Food was fantastic our waitress Maria was beyond exceptional. It was our first time there and it was for our anniversary dinner. The only thing that I was not happy with was when I asked about a side order of 2 meatballs and was told it was possible. They were delicious BUT I was charged the full dinner price for them. $18 was definitely not a fair price, otherwise the dinner was exceptional! Will be going back on Wednesday which is tonight for Dinner.

Ordered the snow crab. Expensive but spouse choice. Melted butter was rancid. Ruined her meal. Only offered piece of key lime pie as compensation. Should have comped the meal. Manager finally gave 15% discount on food. Not crowded when we arrived, but service slow anyway. Better restaurants in the area than this one. If back again, I will pass on this one.

I would give this place no stars if i could. The food was horrible, looked like garbage, was burnt and dry. The portion was soooo small for an approx $40 seafood broil (we ordered 2!). We also ordered gator, and it was so hard and cold. I don't know what happened with the hush puppies. They were burnt and hard, no flavor. Everything tasted horrible. The amount of food did not fit the price tag by a quarter. They had closed before we even realized how everything looked when we got back to our hotel. Would not recommend this place. We should have read the reviews before ordering. Best go somewhere else where they'll actually care about the customers and want to do and be better with the food for the ridiculous amount they charge for garbage.

Parking: Would NOT recommend it unless you enjoy overpriced burnt food.

A local favorite and so good! Crab is a specialty!

When we got our meal it did not look anything like it did on the menu wasn't very good at all especially considering for the seafood platter flounder Italy only had four scallops a small piece of flounder and two shrimp the brabant potatoes were not what they were advertising and just for the seafood platter and the steak of the day which was not very good either come to 89 I would have much preferred to just went to McDonald's and it wouldn't have caused it near that much they are way overpriced and the food is not that good I would highly not recommend anyone to eat here not trying to be negative or put this place down it's just I work hard for my money and that was a big waste of money and a big disappointment on my 18-year anniversary it was a very bad experience for my wife and I I recommend DO NOT!! try this place if it would allow me to post a photo I would post the photo of the lousy meal my wife and I received

My wife had spiced shrimp. We've never had shrimp that was so hard to peel. I had fried crab lasagna. It was OK but nott great.
