    BLT with Cole Slaw

    Beautiful vibe. Delicious food. Great service. We were going to one of our favorites- the Buxton Munch. But they were closed. So happy to find this place in Avon. Love the decor and food.

    Chicken tenders

    We stopped here around 12:30 on a Tuesday in July. We know how slow service can be in Buxton, so we were pleasantly surprised by the short wait for our food. The crab cake sandwich was delicious (great secret sauce). The kids enjoyed chicken tenders and a bacon cheese burger. The jerk chicken sandwich was good, too. There were a lot of drink options and a menu with something for everyone. Cute OBX decor and friendly staff.

    I'm traveling on business in the Outer Banks, North Carolina coastal region and we came across this local gem, the Oceania's Bistro. The Oceania's is a casual, cozy, restaurant that locals seem to love. The staff was friendly and the food coming out of the kitchen looked great. I'm so glad we stopped to eat here. The menu has a good variety of food; great appetizers, signature sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and great seafood and turf entrees. I got the Pei Mussels (MP) for an appetizer: Sautéed in a white wine creamy garlic sauce served with grilled bread, and the Seafood Platter for my entrée. It came with Mahi-mahi and shrimp and two sides. It was plentiful and good. By the way, the live music was great too. Jesse Taylor is a talented musician. If you're visiting the area, or here on vacation, or live here, the Oceanas is a great place to stop and get a bite to eat. Enjoy!

    Great sized restaurant with friendly and fast staff and good food. Football was on the TVs but not obnoxious.

    Stopped in for an early lunch one afternoon. Outdoor seating was great. Our server was so nice & attentive. Food was great (as usual). We had the bang bang shrimp, blackened tuna tacos, the fried flounder sandwich.We also ordered take out the next evening. They do add in a 15% take out charge, so just be aware. Would recommend to everyone looking for fresh seafood!

    Great bar setting. We ate at the bar.

    Out favorite resturant. We enjoyed steamed mussels steamed shrimp, fantastic. Bud Lite sign too bright and too white in bar area. Nice bar except for that.

    Serving size

    My patna ordered a 34$ seafood platter, and this was his serving, pathetic and disgusting

    We stopped in for lunch because we were in the mood for some seafood and gluten free options. The prices were affordable online and the menu selection seemed promising. When we arrived, the dining room was decorated with mermaid decor and it had a very beachy, retro feel. There was a board listing daily specials and plenty of options on the menu. I gravitated directly toward the mahi sandwich. Mahi isn't a regular menu selection at home, so I had to have it. They also offered gluten free buns so the meal would be complete. The food came quickly and our server was very attentive, but let me tell you the best part. Omg, that mahi sandwich was amazing! The red pepper aioli that's served on the side was delicious. I also added that nice squeeze of lemon! Perfection! I loved the potato wedges because who doesn't love those?! My food was so good that I kept raving about it on the drive afterwards. I was full and so happy. Please pay them a visit!

    Blackened Mahi

    My wife and I went here for dinner. I had blackened Mahi Mahi and she had Tuna tacos. I do not usually provide here say opinions but my wife has been raving about the tuna tacos. She said they are to die for. The Mahi Mahi was very good. The only small complaint is it really was not too blackened and could have had more blackening seasoning. I am picky about my fish and it can't be too "fishy." In this case it was fine and the tarter sauce was good. The service was top notch and the server was very friendly. We had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc which was very fruit forward and went great with seafood, The bottom line is this is a great example of outer banks cuisine and I recommend it for a nice romantic evening.

    This is probably my favorite restaurant in Avon. We come back every year for their seafood nachos - they just can't be beat. I like getting them for an entree so I have leftovers. Service is always fast and friendly. Great atmosphere and cool decor. Bar area is laid back. TVs with sports on. Their shrimp, Mac and cheese, and slaw is also great. 10/10!!!

    We went for breakfast, server was rude. We paid $4 for a flavored K-cup. Seemed like their lunch and dinner might be better

    Best fish tacos we have ever had. Worth the drive from Virginia Beach simply to eat tacos.

    One of my favorite restaurants of all time…read more The mussels are soft where they almost melt in your mouth. There is almost no chewiness to them at all. The crispy smashers are both full of flavor and so crispy. Some of the potatoes don't get smashed enough and they are less flavorful but it tends to only be a couple of smashers out of the whole plate. The everything tuna was just as good as I remembered. The tuna almost melts in your mouth. The everything crust spices it up while complementing the avocado purée. The avocado puree does something that most restaurants fail to do, which is salt the avocado enough so it actually had flavor. I quite enjoyed the salad as the dressing had a strong soy flavor which was overpowering on some bites but perfect on others. The service was wonderful. The view of the water is such a joy. There is no place that I'd recommend more.

    Best meal in OBX, yet again…read more A must visit, we really love food and the staff was extremely attentive. Not once did we feel rushed, about a 10 minute wait for a table and sat at the bar for a drink while waiting. I had the beef short ribs (not a huge seafood guy), and the wife had the catch of the day entree with red drum. Very good! Presentation and taste all on point. The small plate item we had as an appetizer was also great, baked feta which was phenomenal. The "painkiller" drink is very tasty. This was our second time visiting over the last year, we'll be back for sure. Not to mention the restaurants namesake, after the owners doggo, Po. Their t shirts and branding are classy subtle..had to have a shirt! Check them out!
