I had the pleasure of dining at Steamers in Southern Shores twice during my Fourth of July trip to the Outer Banks, and both visits were fantastic! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food was fresh and delicious, and every dish we tried was excellent - including the amazing cheesecake. What really stood out was the staff, who were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. Steamers is now a must-visit every time we're in the Outer Banks. Five Stars!!!

Lovely gem in OBX! Food was outstanding and the atmosphere was lovely; laid back but high end. The salmon dish was amazing and the rockfish special was just as good. My only complaint is that the kids menu was what you’d expect, mainly fried foods and nothing special. If they had a smaller portion of salmon or a mini steak that would have gone a long way.

(TLDR; lack of clear policy on seating) Coming to Steamers has become a family tradition every summer! The food and atmosphere are consistently amazing! However, the hostess on duty was short with us when we asked why we couldn’t be seated on the empty patio before the dinner rush. We were told that the tables were reserved (after we were told they don’t do reservations over the phone) and that she couldn’t move any tables/chairs to fit a party of 6. We ended up eating inside, and our waitress Madi was fabulous! When we left an hour and a half later, half the patio was still empty, with the other half re-configured to fit a larger party than my family’s. We will definitely be back as we love this restaurant so much! I just wish there was more clarity on reservations/holding tables, as well as the policy for moving tables and chairs for parties of 4+.

My wife and I stopped by on a date night while on vacation last night, 6-17-26. We tried it last year and were excited to come back again. The food was great, but the server became very unprofessional for the atmosphere of the restaurant and totally ruined the experience. Here's what happened......while finishing dinner, my wife asked what were the dessert options. To which the server replied "i'm so glad you asked....unfortunately, i'm not on the menu!" Took everything I had to not cause a scene right there, as there were young children dining at the table beside us......if we were at Dirty Dicks Crabhouse, I could understand the comment as that is what you would expect when you go to that establishment; however, not what we were expecting from Steamers. Uncalled for and unprofessional. The wife decided she didn't want to spend anymore money at this establishment that evening and couldn't believe that the server thought that was ok to say. When we left, the 2 ladies outside asked how the meal was and we expressed our displeasure and they agreed and said they would inform the manager, Mike.
