Stopped in on the last day of vacation and absolutely loved it! Good service and great food! Everything tasted super fresh. Can’t wait for the next visit.
Amazing food! Shrimp burger delicious! Been here 3 times and always great! Talked with the chef and appreciate his talent!! Recommend highly! So good!!!! I give it 10 stars!
Sea Chef is hands down the best dining on the Outer Banks! Super fresh and delicious food. Servers/bartenders/hosts are always so friendly and welcoming and service is always top notch! Cocktails are on point and I have never had any food I didn’t love while dining there! The atmosphere and views can’t be beat! I know it is a seafood restaurant, but they also have one of the best burgers I have ever had!!
