Despite a hectic onslaught of patrons, Becky and her team were able to effectively satisfy a crowd. The food (scallops, and shrimp and grits) were both unique and well prepared.

Just found our new favorite restaurant on the Outer Banks! Outdoor seating on the pirate ship, watching the sunset, eating delicious food. The scallops are absolutely amazing! Highly recommend. Will be back often

We also ate at cafe lachine and blue moon grill which are rated 1 and 2. We felt the food here was just as good. I had the pan seared soft shell crabs and they were awesome! This tied with the oyster poor boy at Blue Moon as my top meals of our 11 day trip. My husband had the... More

Pamlico Jack's is the ideal place for fun, food, and drinks any evening of the week! We came to OBX for a family beach week, and decided to dine here Wednesday evening. To our surprise, the outdoor deck is enormous and has seating that wraps around the entire back of the restaurant. Although we had a party of 20 with... More

Good golly the Pamlico Jack's restaurant served some of the freshest seafood we have enjoyed in years. We have eaten fresh seafood in San Francisco and all over the East Coast and Pamlico Jack's served us some superbly fresh seafood for dinner tonight. My wife had a huge chunk of Ahi Tuna that was terrific. I had the pan seared... More

I trusted Pamlico Jack's with the responsibility of hosting my wedding rehearsal dinner party in early May and they did NOT disappoint! Pamlico Jack's made this the best night imaginable for my friends, family, and most importantly, my bride! We had a wonderful time overlooking the Roanoke Sound from the second story of their venue. The views were amazing, yet... More

We went early, so the restaurant was not crowded. The waiter was fun and made several suggestions about the available fish. The food was excellent, especially the tuna over fettuccine. Also had an appetizer tray that they customized to avoid the food my wife and I don't care for. The only downside is that it is somewhat pricy, but worth... More

We were part of a large group that dined here on Friday, May 31st, and Emily was our server. We were seated promptly, and the hostess was very friendly. The menu was different from the one available online, so we weren't able to order one of the dishes that we were looking forward to, however the food we did order... More
