    We were seated promptly and given amazing service by the one and only, Sheri- (if you want her number, don't bother because my curly haired *single nephew tried his best to get it and failed) The hush puppies were delicious and we even got to try a new menu item- The Surf and Turn Stir Fry- hats off to the chef! Thanks to Sheri for amazing service and a fun night out!

    Food tasted absolutely horrible and is way overpriced my salad tasted like absolute crap and my cucumbers tasted like they had chemicals on them and I hated how they added the boiled egg into it aswell. I’ll never recommend this place to any of my friends and relatives ever I’d rather go to subway or any other fast food restaurant instead of this place. the waiter wasn’t helpful either and when we asked for two separate checks he brought out three even though we clearly asked for two checks. over all it was very crappy service from him and when we told him that the food tasted like crap and complained to him he did absolutely nothing about it. no manager was brought out to our table or anything I’m extremely not pleased by this at all.

    Absolutely awful. The place was dirty, the food was horrible, and the service was somehow even worse. We waited an hour before finally giving up and asking to take our food to go. If you’re looking for good food, clean tables, or basic competence, look elsewhere.

    My husband surprised me with a. Trip to the outer banks for my birthday and Dirty Dicks was our first stop in town! Sheri was the highlight of our trip, made killer drinks and was the sweetest woman you could ever hope to run into…. In the off season when everything slows down….she is the reason to visit this place! Food was good! Service was impeccable and she even gave us hidden gems to visit that only locals know about!!! If you get a chance go see Sherri!!!
