Sugar Shack Fish Market Oyster Bar and Grill

Small cafe/deli style restaurant with views and indoor/outdoor seating available. Food was fresh and tasty with a good variety. Great option for a casual lunch with relaxed beach vibes.

Establishment not what I expected for the price. I ordered flounder platter that came as fish bites. Cut up and not seasoned at all. My onion rings as a separate order was not hot and soft. My fish bit was so light I was not sure if they were done. 28 dollars wasted. Will be marking this one off the list of repeats.

Seems like they start your order when you get there, even when you order online. So add 10-15 min if you’re coordinating an evening. But order online, get there at the right time, have a beer and your order will be ready when you’re done the drink. Best steamed shrimp I’ve had in a long time.

Food was great: salad w/ tuna, popcorn shrimp w/ sweet potato fries, BBQ sandwich w/ corn on cob & slaw, burger w/ sweet potato fries. Everything fresh and homemade. Highly recommend! Oh, and pet friendly 🦮

Small portions. ear of corn was half ‘empty’. Coleslaw was shredded cabbage with nothing else, no seasoning, no dressing, no taste. Really disappointed, especially for what it cost.

Fries tasted fishy

Let me preface this by saying that I try not to leave bad reviews- if a place intentionally handles mishaps, I don’t ding them for mistakes. We placed a pickup order for 12pm. We came in at 12 with no one else in the restaurant and surprised the gentleman working, who began cooking it then. No apologies or acknowledgement of the oversight, just sort of an “oh shit” moment and he hurriedly starts cooking.
We stood and waited for 15 minutes and watched the gentleman cook, his hands often touching his nose and mouth. We received our order: fried scallops, coconut shrimp and fried okra were all good. The blackened mahi sandwich came out not blackened, but instead burned from the grill. Tasted like burnt toast.

Food was pricey and mostly average — good fries. Fish sandwich was pretty wet, the slaw really sweet and seemed soggy/wet/tired in a way, coconut shrimp are really greasy but good.

Would like to start out that I went here during the off season (last week of December). Location is nice, and right on the water. Only one guy was working at noon and it was actually busy.. I felt bad for him. Food was decent, but not the quality I was expecting from a fish market. We ordered the coconut shrimp which was good, but the mahi platter and sandwich we ordered were sub par. Maybe the regular season is better.

Literally some of the best steamed crab we've had on the OBX. Incredible view of the water and it's so laid back and the employees seemed happy to be there and working which always makes us feel like it's a company to support. DEFINETELY a go to anytime we come now!

Loved the grilled shack platter! Great seafood at reasonable prices… friendly, fast service, comfortable and casual beachy atmosphere. Outdoor seating… dog-friendly. Eat-in or carry-out.
