My husband and I had a really nice meal at Owens. Probably the high point was the excellent service that we received from the waiter we had- Brian- I think he has only been there two months. He gave amazing service. We had the coconut shrimp dinner (my husband had this) and the pan-seared mahi-mahi. (I had that.) the presentation... More

Had a very nice meal here. It is a bit expensive but then again, it is a fine dining experience. The atmosphere was lovely and fancier than I imagined. The food is top quality.

Owens is an old standby in Nags Head, reliably great food. My mixed grill was excellent, medium size filet, tuna, shrimp, green beans and rice. My wife had scallops with rice. Both of us had too much food to finish. All very good.

I came back to Owen's after 10 years just to get the Jack Daniels scallops...and they did not disappoint. Great atmosphere and delicious food.

We've been dining at Owens off and on for about 35 years. Had a lot of great meals there. Last night, we had yet another that goes off the charts. Shad roe! This is a seasonal entree, only available in the spring for a rather limited time. They don't have a lot of it. And fortunately, it's not for everyone.... More

Lovely restaurant, food plentiful and delicious. A bit expensive but well worth it and would definitely return. BTW, 1 crab cake more than enough, Lobster Bisque out of this world!!

We saw an ad in a local paper and it looked great. Everything was homemade from their salad dressings, to soups, to desserts, and tasted it. Located in a very old building with lots of character. Oyster dishes from years gone past lined the walls in the room we dined in. It had a wonderful old fashioned feel. I had... More

This dining experience is a great all around! The food quality, menu choices, service and atmosphere are calling me back already. Recommend highly for seafood or steak. I enjoyed every bite of the Steak Oscar!

Other restaurants in the area were just as good for less. But overall, very good. Fresh. Good flavor.

Old fashioned ambiance but Excellent service and excellent food. We were referred by a local and we all enjoyed our fresh seafood meals with the best hush puppies in NC. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we go back to the outer banks.
