Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen

Wow, this place blew me away. We stopped in for takeout after a long day of fishing. The restaurant is relatively new and located right inside the fishing center. Fresh is as fresh does. The fried shrimp was challenging to resist and I'm glad I didn't put up much of a fight. The crunchy shrimp was cooked to perfection and seasoned just as well. I also couldn't leave OBX without another Surfin' spoon ice cream sandwich. Looking forward to returning in the future!

While visiting Nags Head we drove down to watch the fishing boats come in at Oregon Inlet. We ran across this new restaurant which was a pleasant surprise. We decided to have lunch and it was really good. It's in a new building at the Oregon Inlet Marine. It's really nice inside with some original fish prints for sale. Everyone ordered seafood as it doesn't get any fresher. The fried shrimp was outstanding. Another hit was the tilefish. Our server was really good and she explained the menu and options. Everyone was really impressed with the total package of this eatery. Can't wait to return.

This place is on the newer side and Google maps had an issue getting us the right spot. Very little exterior signage yet. So go the back side of Ocean's Edge bait and tackle and you'll find it. That said, the food absolutely made up for the extra driving around in circles. I ordered the crab cake BLT and a jalapeño margarita and hefty side order of spicy pickles and my boyfriend had the burger. He said it was excellent. And he didn't offer me a bite so I knew it had to be. My margarita was super fresh and had just the right amount of spiciness. The crab cake BLT was perfectly balanced. Very crispy bacon, fresh tomato and the cake itself was simple, moist, well seasoned, and not overly breaded. A hint of mayo and the brioche bun pulled all together. The pickles were good and definitely had some kick! The fries were thin, crispy and nicely salty. They also came with a great spicy aioli for dipping. Definitely worth the stop while driving to Cape Hatteras. Next time we'll try the desserts

To call it a restaurant is a bit of a stretch, I would call it a deli/sandwich style cafe. However when weather permits you will appreciate dining on the patio. You place your order at the counter and sit yourself. The indoor dining area is cozy and clean and nicely decorated. I ordered the Shrimp Burger with a side of cut fries. The "burger" while juicy and thick was very bland, seriously in need of seasoning. My husband ordered the fried oyster platter with fries and a side of slaw; I wish I had ordered the platter as well. When we decided to eat outside they enthusiastically carried our meals outside for us making sure we had everything we needed! We live in Kitty Hawk so we will be back.

Had dinner outside on the patio with our family. The service was outstanding and our food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were made perfectly, the shrimp was light and crispy, the crab fritters were filled with crab and not fillers, and the calamari was some of the best we've had in a long time. We loved our meal, the atmosphere, and the service! A great addition to the local area!!

Words won't do this place justice. Providing some pictures from two different visits and even still justice won't be served. Go. Here. Now. And again later!!! PS I'll forever be dreaming of the shrimp burger

My husband and I just can't get enough of this special restaurant. The food, the waitstaff and the owners are over the top. We are driven to visit this restaurant at least two times each weekend we go to the Outer Banks. Try the BLT crab cake or the Captain's platter. You will be returning.,
