“Stopped for the ice cream fell in love with the cookies. The ice cream is from a NC creamery and I recommend the Lemon Crunch 🍋 But the cookies are a blessing for your taste buds. I got the coconut cookie and my husband raved about the white chocolate macadamia. I wish we had tried this sooner... but it's 10 miles down the beach 😆“

“Lots of flavors, big portions, close to the beach, indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of parking, friendly staff, and a merch room. The only thing not to like was the prices. 5 single scoop orders, throw in 2 waffle cones, 2 squirts of whip cream, 1 sprinkle topping, 1 peanut topping 1 chocolate syrup topping = $41 before tip. Average order $8.20.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Amazing ice cream & candy, every kind of homemade chocolate-covered whatever & fudge you can imagine, a completely empty shop at 8pm, and great customer service and recommendations. Came for the coconut caramel chocolate s'mores, stayed for the ice cream; came back for the homemade peanut butter cups.“

“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.“

“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!“
