Chris, our waiter, was awesome! Attentive without being overbearing, quick with a story & a just a nice guy. The manager, who's name I didn't catch, was also very accommodating & quick to fix a problem. All around, a great experience. And the food was amazing, too!!😋

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!

I was in town for business and wanted to do a local seafood spot. We were seated immediately and the service was top notch. We ordered there trio seafood, I know it is called something else. But lemme tell you, it says food for 2... no, more like 3 ppl. We had soooo much food and it was steamed perfectly. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, was over cooked or rubbery. The dungenese crab legs were HUGE and slam packed with meat... the shrimp were huge and PLENTIFUL...the little necks were amazing... than the little red potatoes corn and sausage were just extra to add to the greatness.... we also tried a cup each of their lady crab soup, WOOOOOWWWW!!! THAT SOUP WAS INSANELY DELICIOUS!!! I have been visiting the outer banks since I was born annually, and I have had fresh seafood in the islands and many other countries... this food was GOOD! And combined with the energy n friendliness of the waitress, it was worth every single penny I paid. Definitely a must try for ppl visiting!

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!!!

We were seated right away. Our waiter was amazing, funny and very knowledgeable! Price was a little steep, but it's seafood, so that was expected. The food was good and my mixed drink was amazing 👏. The cup it comes in, is in the picture I posted. If you like fruity, sweet, and strong, you will love it! I can't remember the exact name, but it's Drirty Dick's something... The name is in red on the menu. They also have a nice gift shop. Overall I had a nice experience there.

My husband and I were truly impressed with our dining experience here! Our server was fantastic; extremely polite and attentive, and the steamed seafood platter we enjoyed was super fresh and cooked perfectly. To our surprise, the Caesar and Sangria were some of the most well-prepared cocktails we've had as well. The only thing we were upset by is that we couldn't bring our leftovers (and there were lots!) as we were traveling. This place really lived up to the hype, and is definitely not just a novelty restaurant, as we initially thought it might be.

Always amazing! We visited Dirty Dicks in Panama City recently as well. This place is always amazing, but somehow the food here was even better! I got the shrimp and grits and it was incredible!
Great service! The chef (Katie) came by to check and make sure that everything was good. I asked for her name because she did such an amazing job. We've come here several times and this visit they outside themselves! Our server (Sheri) made sure our visit was enjoyable.
We came by a second time before we left and got the buffalo shrimp. OMG! These were really great as well. I'm sure this is going to be an amazing season for y'all because you're on fire!

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.

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.
Also, side note:
Of all the places we ate, they had the best hush puppies - hands down.
We will be back!

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!!

A little high priced but I think that's due to recent increases. Tasty house drinks with funny souvenir cups. Shrimp scampi is delicious.
