Stumbled upon this place after trying several other places that had zero availability. Though this place was absolutely SLAMMED with customers, we got in within 15-20 minutes. They are like a well oiled machine and have major capacity levels to accommodate the mass influx. But enough about that…. Their food is fantastic, I was quite skeptic before it came out. A place this size…surely the quality can’t be that high… but it was. Service was quick and friendly, the appetizers and food were exactly what we were hoping for, and their drinks were actually really tasty. Dirty Dick’s knows what they are doing and they don’t mess around.

We saw their signs all over the place so decided to stop by The day we stopped the their credit card machine was down, apparently up and down the entire banks. Glad we had cash. Food was good. We wanted to try a “local” place but it was a little touristy. Still a good place to eat.

I ordered the shrimp po boy, and I really enjoyed it. The staff was wonderful, and the environment was really cool too. It’s a mature place to go to with some of the humor, but younger kids will enjoy it too. I highly recommend the po boy and fried pickles. The fried pickles came with a very unique sauce that I really enjoyed. This is the second year in a row I stopped here while on vacation, and I can’t wait to go back next year.

I like going here for crab legs for the most part. I did try some fried flounder from here before, and it did not sit well with me. If you have a sensitive stomach, I would avoid the fried foods. Their hush puppies are delicious as well as the chicken andouille gumbo. The waitress was super nice as well. I like their little gift shop, it has some funny stuff.

Tucked at the end of the Seafood Entrées is Fried Crab Lasagna. The description did not really help me picture it. I like crab, I like lasagna, and the server assured me everyone loves it. What arrived was the plate in the picture. It looks like something out of some up scale restaurant in a big city that does playful things with food. It is quite simply a crab mix with a light cream sauce rolled in pasta sheets, then some sort of breadcrumb, and fried. It’s served with a red sauce that while not Italian was close to Italian than anything Cajun.

Great place to eat. We went to see Wright Brothers first flight at Kill Devils Hill and stopped in for lunch; our server, Tempest, made it so special for us!!! Had ½doz Rockefeller oysters (so differently good), and stuffed flounder – remarkable! B.u.u.t.t.t… the hush puppies were superb!! Took a side of home, they didn’t make it through the night!!

Experience was good, the general manager is a really nice guy. Entire staff was on point and very friendly. The only reason I’m rating four stars is that unfortunately the crab I ordered came out pretty hollow and dry, so it wasn’t exactly worth the current market price which was around 30$ for a half order I believe. I’ve had better experiences with their crab and it’s been some of the best crab I’ve had in previous visits. Didn’t really come out too well though this time sadly.

My favorite place in the OBX, hands down! The large menu of choices allow for ANYONE to dine here. They have the best seafood and STEAK! The potato salad is so good that you would high five your grandma for! The service is TOP NOTCH! A great place for the whole family, with a souvenir store inside, so it’s convenient to shop and dine and take stuff home for the family. Management is GREAT ☺ Chef Katie is outstanding. Personally I would go every day just for the turtle cheesecake or a dirty banana

The wait wasn’t terrible, and the server was nice. However, the food was extremely expensive and honestly not worth the money. The food on our platter was barely warm. The tartar sauce was the absolute worst I’ve ever had.

We got The Mariner Platter and I must say it was a bit disappointing. The flounder was very hearty but lacked flavor and seasoning. The crab cake was also missing a kick of flavor. Two soups were tried and they both were not good (She crab and Gumbo).
