I'm not big on seafood but this was delicious! The shrimp and grits were perfect. It was crowded but thankfully you could pre-game before your meal at the bar up top. The service was wonderful and the waitress and bartender both were super social and attentive.
Always a great staple choice with awesome variety of options. All the food and drinks are always top notch. You can't go wrong here ever. Been coming here for years and never disappointed. Elderflower mule was delicious. Definitely try one of their drink specials, they are so unique. Sometimes the seasonal wait staff isn't perfect but that's ok. Yesterday everything the guy set down he basically slammed, but he was young and it didn't make a mess or anything just a little caught off guard. Otherwise the evening was perfect and the store has some great shopping you can do while you wait out after your meal. Found some great necklaces for $8 and beach decor that was very affordable.

We used Black Pelican Catering for our wedding buffet at a private residence in Nags Head. Leading up to the wedding it was an incredible pleasure working with Jen & Summer who were professional and patient with all of my questions and menu adjustments. We visited the restaurant beforehand to try some of the items on their catering menu and immediately knew we wanted to go with them! The crab rangoon and sweet potato ham biscuits are AMAZING! My Maryland husband is very picky about crab cakes and even HE gave their crab cakes the stamp of approval. High praise! There were some issues with the delivery on the day of the wedding, but Black Pelican was quick to apologize and go way beyond what we were expecting to correct our experience. I was worried about the quantity of food since you never know how guests will act around a buffet, but we were assured that there would be plenty for everyone to try everything on the menu. And sure enough, there was PLENTY to go around and we even had some leftover! We are so grateful for their kindness and quality! We would highly recommend them for catering.
Molly says y’all sure should go to the Black Pelican…

It was our first night in OBX and we ended up having dinner here. It was a very busy night. I could see our server running back and forth. I got the baked shrimp and crab and my husband got the prime rib. I thought my order needed a little more flavor to it. Not just salt and pepper flavor. Maybe it’s just me. But my craving for seafood is satisfied. My husband loved his prime rib but the serving was big for him he had to take home leftovers. We also ordered calamari which I thought was good except for the size of the squid they used it was too small. Our busy server tried her best to be attentive considering it was a very busy night for her.
Seated immediately. Food was delicious. Service was a bit slow. Desserts were also delicious and huge! Coconut shrimp were fantastic. For the menu and prices we were expecting a bit more updated atmosphere but it definitely has beach Dive Bar vibes.
Great atmosphere and many choices to choose. We had grilled Mahi and seafood risotto both were very tasty.i would have liked a little more seafood in my risotto
There's a certain charm that comes from the obvious additions over the years, as the dining area sort of rambles around the bar. There's a nice little gift shop as well. The salad I had (the Popeye) was excellent - very flavorful and a generous portion. My husband had the Mediterranean salad; he said it was good. We also had the tuna bites appetizer. It was a decent size for sharing, but the tuna was overcooked and dry. Could have just caught them on an off day (and it is off-season) so I wouldn't let that affect a decision to dine there in the future. Service was excellent.
Really great overall restaurant. Seafood specials were awesome and many non-seafood options as well..very prompt service. This is an Outerbanks must try.
Ate at some other local spots and this one was the best! We are a large group of 11 and we were all seated together, which was the first plus, It’s a large establishment. They have a great kids menu, sea food lovers, meat lovers, steamed foods including crab and buckets of “boil”, vegetarian options (not just the items listed as sides, but real food), pizza lovers…truly something for everyone! I had a frozen piña colada, which wasn’t from a machine❤️. The staff was friendly and quick. The hot food came out hot and delicious. Everything we ordered was great! I think it was the only place the whole family was happy.
