A REAL GEM !! We stopped at the Oregon Inlet marina and discovered this incredible seaside bar and grill. Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen has exceptional food. The food is fresh, hot and perfectly prepared. If you find yourself traveling south of Nags Head on the Outer Banks, you need to stop in for a Shrimp Burger or a Salad. Friendly people with a smile to serve you some of the best food on the Outer Banks. I highly recommend this restaurant and give it a 9/10 (one of my highest ratings).

Epic dining experience! Beautiful setting, happy people, legendary food. The fried and coconut shrimp were top tier. Local tuna cut like butter. Hush puppies best ive ever had. Service was prompt and really friendly. Came wait to go back.

A must to add to your dining for lunch or dinner when near Oregon Inlet at the Outer Banks. The seafood is always fresh and will never disappoint. The favorite is to dine outside on the deck with the water views and sea breezes flowing. Although sometimes when peak season, you may have to settle for inside dining. The menu offers something for all. My favorites are the shimp burger, fried oysters, calamari, crab fritters, and their hush puppies. Oh and they have a banana pudding like none other. You have to leave room for it!! Plus there is always a special of the day, if not already sold out by the time you get there.

Best seafood we have ever had! Ate out on the deck in October for a fantastic evening meal. We were vacationing in the area and looked for a seafood restaurant ( there are many!) and this casual atmosphere with high end food. HIGHLY recommend the shrimp ( we had 1/2 lb for appetizer) with drawn butter! We also had the captains platter and the special of the evening was flounder with green beans and new potatoes. Excellent. The Hush puppies - wow! Service and the view was terrific also- made for a memorable meal. Thank you!

Delicious lunch! We had crab soup, a shrimp platter and a crab cake sandwich. All of it was prepared perfectly. Large portions and fantastic tasting.
