The Quarterdeck in Frisco, NC is the best seafood on OBX. We’ve tried several restaurants on OBX over the years, searching for good seafood, and never got a decent meal.
We finally found a restaurant that actually knows how to cook seafood.
The crab legs and bluefish were both cooked to perfection. Honestly, having lived in New England for 35+ years, we both know good seafood.
We’ve had a years long quest to find competent OBX seafood. Glad we found a place , and we’ll be back next we’re in OBX.

We ordered some fried chicken and sides for our family for take out. While they are very under staffed (as is every restaurant), the two people up front were so friendly and making the best of a busy night. They offer take out and eat in by reservation only. Chicken was delicious! Highly recommend.

We were heading to Manteo from Ocracoke and everything was starting to close. This place normally requires reservations but we were lucky enough to get a seat at the end of the night. Leah was very sweet, efficient, and professional. I’m a professional in the hospitality industry in Indiana and had absolutely no idea it was only her 4th night there. Very efficient and welcoming. The food was delicious even at the end of the night (not always our experience). There was a little something for everyone, including my 4 year old. We had mussels, fried chicken, the bbq platter, and fried clam strips. The drinks were strong but worth the money. The environment was spaced out and clean. For being a place that wasn’t initially on our radar we left very full and happy.

Our family of 11 visited this restaurant and were pleased with the experience. The food was good and the service was good as well. With this many people we had everything the menu had to offer from wings and steak to the fish of the day (flounder) and everything was excellent. The hush puppies were the best I’ve ever had.

This restaurant got good reviews, so we thought we'd stop for dinner. They were out of all crab meat, which was disappointing - no soup, crab cakes, etc. I then ordered blackened fish and they were out of blackened seasoning. Needless to say, the portion was really small. Good food, but not worth another trip, for sure!
