About Ocracoke Oyster Company

Ocracoke Oyster Company offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on fresh, day-caught oysters, such as the Oyster's Rockefeller dish, which exceeded expectations. The blackened mahi mahi tacos served with black beans and rice are also a highlight. The outdoor patio seating provides a lovely spot to enjoy meals, and the outdoor ambiance is especially chill. The staff is friendly and attentive, with servers who listen and answer questions carefully. They are also accommodating, adjusting umbrellas to provide shade for diners. The restaurant features house Bloody Marys and take-out options, making it a convenient choice. Visitors often mention the delicious food, great drinks like the pineapple cilantro margarita, and authentic coastal atmosphere that make this place worth a return visit. The menu includes dishes like Fish Rueben and Soft Shell Crab, with some noting portion sizes have increased over the years, along with pricing. The Crab Stuffed Flounder and Blackened Flounder are also popular choices, and the blooming onion is considered huge and tasty. While oysters are generally good, some find the portions of oysters or crab not enough for larger appetites. Overall, it remains a favorite spot to eat in Hatteras/Ocracoke, offering great food and a welcoming, relaxed environment.
