  My husband and I come here almost every year and we always love the food. Tonight we came and both got 2 full orders of the sno crab legs and the fried pickles which were amazing! We also wanted to say our server Logan was spectacular! He was super attentive, happy and recommended good options to add with our food and drink. 10/10 will come back again for the food and Logan!

  Our trip with the little one was great here, I got steamed shrimp, wifey got Louisiana style shrimp scampi, and tiny got chicken tenders and fries. All were delicious, you get hushpuppies as a free starter with fantastic sweet butter. Kids menu and high chair available for littles. Our waiter was excellent and we will be back!

  Chris at the Dirty Dicks was absolutely AMAZING! Super hospitable, friendly, and had great recommendations . We came back (while on vacation) strictly because we knew we could count on a good bartender that would add to a great OBX experience! Also added fun, The location offers a 100oz beer tower, I believe a 200oz could be a great look😎. Overall, a great environment great food, great crab legs definitely would come back bring everybody mom, auntie Dad kids, everyone

  I have eaten here twice now and let me just say it is my current favorite place to go out and treat myself at. Between the AMAZING customer service from their people and the food that’s so good it’ll make you order two servings there’s just nothing I could say bad about it this location. The atmosphere is really nice and upbeat but also calm (love the music every time!) the staff is ALWAYS honest about their market prices (will tell you if something isn’t worth it because the price is GOD AWFUL right now, I’m looking at you king crab LOL) and they know how to make you laugh or smile and also work as a well oiled machine! I get to see so many pleasant faces because the cook likes to bring out food, the bartender likes to help by waiting on people on certain days (I’m looking at you Chris! You were fantastic as my waiter last night! The lady serving the bar was also incredible!) they are so informed that they could tell you anything you need to know and answer any questions you have! And their drinks are FANTASTIC especially for the price they charge (which may seem a little high compared to other places but once you taste it you understand why!) I had two and felt a nice little buzz and was happy to go home safe and full of good food! Again I’ve just gotta say you guys are absolutely amazing thank you for being the kind of place you are! We need more establishments like this. Hell I’ve even seen either a manager or the owner of the place asking around and checking to make sure everything tastes good and you’re having a good time. I love that! I’m also addicted to collecting their cups because they have different ones! ☺️

  Party of 5 on a Friday evening seated immediately. Sports bar type feel, but family friendly with a gift shop. Ordered the OBX oyster flight and it was fantastic, covered in cheese, included crab and sautéed in butter, served HOT!. Would recommend. For entrees ordered the fried crab lasagna: very unique and delicious, crisp exterior, filled with ricotta and crab in a bed of marinara, very rich, could be enough for 2, would recommend. The fried shrimp were butterflied and very large, cooked crisp and delivered hot. The shrimp scampi and pasta was good, with spiral noodles, creamy and well seasoned. The broiled seafood platter is very large and could be shared. The seafood was hot and well cooked, good variety. The "stuffed" fish was good, with a hearty amount of crab. The fried fish coating was a little soggy, but tasty, the beans and rice was dry and a touch overcooked, the seasonal veggies were OK. There is a full bar and drinks come with a complimentary cup. Also, excellent variety of oysters and fresh fish and seafood. Too full to order desert but several options. Our waitress, Sabrina was very helpful and attentive, excellent service.
