I arrived in the early afternoon, planning to get a pulled pork sandwich, but I was told that they were out of many items, and that was one of them. I'm not sure that they have the full menu each day or just smoke the meats a few days a week. I went with the Chicken Que, expecting tender, slow-cooked chicken that was shredded. I got what appeared to be a grilled boneless cutlet cut into 1-inch chunks, covered in some bbq sauce. Some people might like it, but I could just manage a few bites. I looked for an image of what my sandwich was to look like, but couldn't find anything like what I was served. The fries were also disappointing, as I like crisp fries, and these were not crisp. I didn't realize when I ordered them that they were fresh-cut fries. Not everywhere is good at making those crispy. I did enjoy the little cup of cole slaw. I'm usually not a fan of coleslaw, but that was good. I was brought mac n cheese too, and once the stuff on top was removed, that was pretty good too. I'm glad others like the food, but it wasn't for me. I should have gone with a burger or pizza.

Everything I've had before is still great like the fried shrimp and oysters, and especially the hush puppies. The blue crab nachos are something new I've had and are amazing. The chips are crisp and thick with plenty of cheese and crab. Something I will be getting again. The fried flounder fillet is cooked well but lacking seasoning, and really needs to have some sauce for it to not be too dry or flavorless. Great place that is a must do in OBX.

We stopped by Frog Island Seafood Restaurant & Market today on our way home from Nags Head…read more Don't let the outside fool you--they're practicing some serious culinary magic in the kitchen here. Lauren, our bartender, took great care of us from the moment we sat down. She was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer our questions while offering several excellent menu suggestions. My wife chose the crab cakes, served with two sides and hush puppies. She paired them with green beans and fried okra, and she enjoyed every bite. These weren't the typical crab cakes that rely on breadcrumbs and filler. Instead, they were packed with sweet, fresh crab meat and just enough binder to hold everything together. That's exactly how a crab cake should be. The fried okra arrived piping hot with a wonderfully crisp exterior while remaining tender and flavorful inside--that magical kind of cooking that leaves you wondering, "How did they do that?" The hush puppies were equally impressive. Had the portions not been so generous, we probably would have ordered another basket. I ordered the soft-shell crab and shrimp platter with fries and green beans, which happened to be the day's special. After tasting it, I completely understood why. The soft-shell crab was perfectly seasoned, crisp, hot, and absolutely delicious. The shrimp were cooked just as well. I'm a sucker for good cocktail sauce, and they certainly serve a good one here. The surprising part? This seafood simply didn't need it. I enjoyed every bite exactly as it came--no sauce required. One additional surprise was the seafood market attached to the restaurant. Their display cases were stocked with fresh local seafood at very reasonable prices. If you're looking to bring home fresh fish or shrimp after your meal, it's worth taking a few extra minutes to browse the market before you leave. We finished our meal with a pleasant conversation with Lauren, and it was the perfect ending to an excellent lunch. If you find yourself traveling to or from Nags Head, do yourself a favor and stop at Frog Island Seafood Restaurant & Market. I think you'll leave just as pleasantly surprised as we were.

Passing by this place on our way back from Outerbank to VA…read more Here are what we tried- Fried frog legs - 5/5. It's super moist and tender! Better than any other frog legs I had since it is usually tougher meat. Calamari - 5/5. Light batter, fresh, and soft! Fried soft crab sandwich - 4/5. The soft crab is amazing. The bread just relatively slightly bigger than the crab so there are bites I only have bread. But the flavor is very good! Oyster & shrimp basket - 4/5. This was the daily special item when we ordered. The shrimp was big and oyster was good. Just think the oyster is smaller than expected but good flavor overall. We had fried okra on the side, it was good but wish there is a bit more salt. Cocktail sauce, ketchup is placed on each table so it was helpful and convenience. We could not find where the napkins were for the longest time, then realized it was right next to the food pick up spot The food came out in reasonable time. Also learned that u can actually order ahead on their online platform then pick it up! I found it super convenient as our friends did that and got their food super fast!

On this occasion, we walked around the Christmas Market at the Wanchese Community Center and had our lunch at O'Neal to end a six-year hiatus. We again had good seafood. Ms T had good, fresh and flavorful fried shrimp I had the catch of the day; Red Drum. We accepted the included coleslaw, and we both added fries. This was a good lunch. The seafood remained as good as before and the slaw is some of the better such around. They know how to give it a good sweet-sour balance. It was also fresh, not old and soggy as happens too many times. We also shared a cup of their crab soup that was not something we would ever order again. It is pasty, over-thickened with flour and almost totally unseasoned. We would prefer a creamy soup, that is thickened with cream. We added some salt, and it helped, but it was still wallpaper paste. There is really no saving this, they need to start over and lose the flour. We also felt the food was a little over-priced for what we got. I realize the days of getting a fresh seafood basket for $6 are far behind us, but over $50 for two baskets and one cup of soup is a little steep, especially when we both drank water. Ms T said she would prefer to return to Wanchese. The food is good here, but you have been warned about the crab soup and the prices.
