First off let me say, this place is so trendy! Very cutely decorated and everyone there was dress so cute. The workers were so nice and our waiter was attentive and helpful in recommendations. We got the Signature Seafood Platter. Everything was super delicious, however I wish there was more potatoes and sausage with this platter. For the cost you would have thought you would get a little bit more. All and all a great experience and meal. One of my favorites was the lobster bisque soup, it had such great flavor!! The clam chowder soup wasn’t our favorite.

Great service and terrific food. I had the jambalaya and the flavor was so good. Tawnee had the trigger fish. She said that it is the best fish and chips she had ever had. My mother had the Amber Jack and really liked it. It was mild and delicious. My sister had the shrimp boat liked it also. This was our second time here and it has not disappointed. We will definitely eat here again the next time we are in Kitty Hawk.

Cocktails were amazing! Food was delicious, The shellfish can sometimes take more or less time to cook but all our food came out together and some great gluten free options. I had the special and it was delicious! Cullen was very attentive and gave us great service!

Great location and ocean view from the top deck. Excellent seafood and other entrees. Clam chowder and seafood bisque are exceptional. Hush puppies excellent. Great mahi mahi dishes. Creative salads. Cocktail menu superb – traditional mojito simply the best. Mikey was personable and very attentive. A must-stop.

First and foremost, the female employee with dark hair and Barbie nails made me feel special. I did not like my bourbon drink (I’m new to drinking and didn’t know what bourbon was) and she took the time to figure out what I like in a drink and brought me out something she thought I would like, I LOVED IT! The burger I got was sooooo goood as well (I don’t eat seafood). The atmosphere was very nice. I had a really good experience here.

INCREDIBLE. There really was no bad part of our meal here; staff were friendly and welcoming, food was amazing and fresh. Highly recommend the fish tacos!! Drinks were also really good, and we loved that we could enjoy one on their front ‘patio’ while waiting for our table. Have come to expect a touristy vibe and middle quality from restaurants here, this genuinely wow’d us!!! Would love to come back!

Amazing food!! Was recommended this place after doing some research and am so glad I came here. The cocktail menu was absolutely fantastic and the food itself tasted so fresh and crisp. I’ve been told the sangría is also recommended, but I didn’t get a sangría. Waiters always checked in on us every so often to ensure we were ok. Will definitely come back here when visiting OBX again!

Good service and good food. I got the blackened rock fish that came with asparagus and rice and beans. Not pictured my companion got the fish tacos that I had some of and I thought were really good (the Mahi was grilled and not deep-fried which I prefer and it’s served as a platter so you get to build your tacos yourself). Oh and the seafood bisque was really good!

We arrived last minute and were able to be seated right away. Diverse menu with many choices. Excellent service by our waitress Emily! She was very helpful and prompt. Definite asset to your business. Seafood bisque was fantastic! Loaded with seafood and not watered down. I had chicken. My partner had a burger. Both delicious. Highly recommend!

Chris and his staff are definitely leaders in the Outer Banks Catering industry! From the initial client tasting, Chef Chris and Catering Manager, Yani, took time to welcome the couple and mother of the bride with a formally introduction and thanked them for choosing Steamers to caterer their wedding day reception. The client tasting was delicious, and their presentation gave the client a glimpse of the service they would receive on the day of their event. Upon conclusion of the tasting, Chef Chris and Yani took the time to stop by and receive the couple’s feedback and expectation of their event. Chris and Yani were wonderful; very responsive and thorough, answering any questions that arose and attended to details throughout the planning process even accommodating last-minute vegan requests. With 20+ years in the business as event planners, we can say with complete confidence “Steamers is a true full-service catering company”. From the moment they arrived onsite at Whalehead historic property, they were flawless in their execution. Steamer’s entire staff day-of worked hard and greeted everyone with a smile. We all worked together as one event team to ensure a beautiful successful event for the client and their guests. The buffet service and guest lines moved quickly; they kept the food hot and delicious while maintaining the cleanliness of the buffet area. Tables were cleared throughout the night and they worked alongside our planning team to keep the reception space beautiful and refreshed. My Director of Events- Victoria, myself and my entire planning team entire appreciate the courtesy and professionalism of Chris, Yani and his staff, and we look forward to referring many future clients to their exceptional catering services!
