[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food, service, and Ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What more it there to say. Had the very rare "green gill" oysters which can only be found in a couple of locations in the world. One being here off Ocacoke island. They were supper buttery and smooth. Probably the best tasting oysters I have ever had. read more

First time to this recommended spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got there early & seated with party of 8 inside due to rain but nice outside seating as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the hot crab dip & Blooming Onion for apps, both were served quickly & yummy. We ordered raw oysters, baked combo oysters, oysters Rockefeller & mahi sandwich - again entrees served quickly & while the oysters were a bit small they were local & delicious. Prices reasonable & they split the check for us w/out any trouble. Great local restaurant that we will return to everytime! read more

4 stars because I don't give 5's except for our waitress Kimberly, she was great. Kimberly had great knowledge about the food menu and the drink menu, she was extremely attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ordered a plain cheeseburger for our pups. The outside area is pet-friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The dogs lived their burger, it was cooked just right and nice and juicy. Kimberly made sure the pups had plates, fresh water and were happy. She had the Mahi mahi protein bowl, the flavors were nice unfortunately the fish was a little over cooked. I had the baked oyster sampler, I usually only eat raw but I figured why not. OMG , the flavors were wonderful on all three different types. Oh yeah the appetizer... we ordered Nashville hot wings. The wings had a nice crunch, you could taste the sweetness of the honey but I did not notice the heat. I added some Franks and habenero hot sauce. read more

Cold drinks and tasty seafood.  We stopped by the OOC for lunch on our visit to the island and were very pleased.They have a nice selection of local craft beers, cocktails, and specialty drinks.  On this visit we started with the oysters ceviche, which were very good. Raw oysters on the half shell, squeeze of lime, chopped cilantro and a dash of hot sauce!  The shrimp po-boy was tasty and had a good portion of shrimp in it. In addition to the seafood items on the menu there are burgers, sandwiches, and BBQ items. Great stop to grab a cold beverage and something to eat. read more

Biggest gripe because this is boasting an Oyster company: We have eaten oysters at a ton of places....this is the only place that did NOT serve them on ice. First large red flag. On top of that, they were warm to the touch. Second large red flag. Would NOT recommend the oysters at this place for these two facts alone. Luckily, neither of us got sick from it (that we know of) afterwards. But we were both immediately repulsed by these two facts. The rest of the food and drinks: the margarita was actually really good! We got a tuna sandwich and mahi tacos and they were both very good! If it hadn't been for the bad oysters, we would have given this place a 5. read more

This restaurant is one of the best on the island. Skip some of the older more well known spots and come here! The service was excellent and the food was too.We tried many different types of oysters, crab dip, the catch of the day and for the non seafood eaters, we had a chicken sandwich. As a restaurant that is known for oysters, their selection of non seafood was incredible. Do not skip the sidewinder fries with spicy ranch! The standouts were the crab dip, Nashville Hot sandwich and the Ceviche oysters. read more

We've eaten here one summer after the next and enjoyed our experience both times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is efficient, food is good & we like the casual atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Try the blackened mahi tacos ! They're a favorite read more

Emelia Jo our sever was fantastic. The house salad with the fig white balsamic vinaigrette should be bottled and sold. The she crab soup good. But the flounder with crab meat served with the best havicort string beans and baked potatoes was just five stars. Soft shell crabs were nice size and not at all greasy. Hush puppies included a nice surprise. It's been a long time since I've had flounder this fresh and would encourage all to try. read more

Our server Gus was a delight! Attentive and kind and made sure to listen and answer questions. He suggested we get the day special (flounder and crab with hush puppies) wow, so good! I don't have any pictures as my phone died but of all the restaurants on the island, [[HIGHLIGHT]]this place gave us great drinks and food with authentic coastal ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks Gus!! read more

My 2018 review was for the previous location and menu. We visited with friends in Oct 2023 and could not figure out why everything was not as we remembered. The place was empty and the menu was greatly reduced from what we recalled. Sorry to say, we bailed and went to Howard's Pub where we had a good lunch in a place with some life. I just could not figure out how to pull down my old review. whenm I do it will be gone, because it is not for this place. read more

Such a great place to eat!! Food was delicious. The service was spot on, even to the extent that they moved the umbrellas around so we all had some shade. Waitress was friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside so the outside ambiance was so chill it was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the soft shell crab po boy, it was better than any I've had, including NOLA. The fried shrimp kids meal was huge. Definitely worth a return trip. read more

Christmas week on Ocracoke is an odd time. It's definitely the offseason where most of the dining options on the island are seasonally closed but as I've seen on each of my three Christmas week visits over the years, if you add good weather to the mix, there are a lot of hungry people looking for somewhere to go and that's exactly what we got at OOC. Service: Good enough all things considered. It was early afternoon on a weekday and the place was mobbed. 15-20 minute for a table and the only thing they had was outside seating which is crazy in late December, but when it's sunny and 60 degrees it works. Our server was doing the best she good but was frazzled big time with all of the tables she had. She initially gave us another table's drink order and dropped one of our entrees on the ground but overall, I guess it could be worse. Food: This is where the three star rating comes from. I can't say that anything was bad, but I'm not going to say that anything was memorable either. BBQ Pork Nachos - Peppercorn Burger - Pasta of the Day - Fried Shrimp Platter - Rueben The nachos are probably what worked best. Good meat to sauce ratio and it was a solid portion for the price. The pasta was the entree the server dropped so it took a while to get another one rendered, the bacon on the peppercorn burger was limp white underdone even though I asked for it to be crispy and the bread on the Rueben seemed stale. The pricing isn't bad considering where you're at and overall, I am glad they chose to be open versus the majority of their peers on the island. But the food is at best middle of the road ok which is why for me, three stars is spot on. read more

Had the Oyster's Rockefeller and they were fantastic along with the mahi mahi tacos, blackened. I'm new to Oyster's Rockefeller, having only had them two or three times before but these best out all the others I've tried. There's a huge difference in same day caught, fresh oysters and I know that now. Blackened mahi tacos were excellent and were served with a side of black beans and rice, both were also great. Service was spectacular. We both had the house Bloody Mary's and those were awesome as well. We loved the outdoor patio seating. read more

My family always hits the Oyster Company each time they come to Ocracoke. They suggested this place when I came with them last year. The fresh local oysters are excellent. The baked oysters eat like salty pizza bites. They are awesome. My family orders a dozen oysters for the table, half raw and half cooked. We usually add an appetizer and drinks to go with them. This year saw the same. We ordered a dozen oysters and some seafood entrees to share among the five of us. The food was great! I'm happy with the food and service here. The bugs like this place too, so apply some repellent before dining here. Otherwise, I recommend the Oyster Company to anyone looking for quality seafood in the heart of Ocracoke Village. read more

Really fun and lively spot for food and drinks. Be prepared to wait because it is very crowded and when I went they were short staffed. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Ordered the chicken salad with fig and balsamic vinaigrette. Ocracoke is famous for figs so I was excited to try the dressing, but wasn't as strong of a flavor as I would have liked. Great portion size and still tasty! My bf ordered the peppercorn burger and really enjoyed it! We came during live music, which was very nice. I would definitely come back! read more

Stuffed flounder and oysters were excellent! Waitress was friendly and efficient. Wish I could go again but traveling north.

Pros: food was tasty. Pineapple cilantro margarita was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun bar atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cons: [[HIGHLIGHT]]they don't have booster seats for kiddos[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], taco dishes only come with two street-size tacos, side dish (beans and rice) was a small serving. Service was adequate but not stellar. Another waiter actually spoke to us with more enthusiasm when we were leaving. read more

Had a great time here at the Oyster Company. My friend and I came in for some good drinks and food while listening to live music. We had been touring the Outer Banks the last few days and wanted to end our last night on a good note. The service was great and our waiter regularly checked on us. The food came out in good time and everything tasted great. The drinks were spot on and we were stoked to hear some live music from a local back home. Was a great time and thanks for having us! read more

I like this place mainly for the Live music lineup. Me & Mary E went here to see Kate McNally on Friday 9/3/21 and then Barefoot Wade on Saturday. We had the Oyster sampler plate and BBQ Nachos which was exceptional and then had the Old Bay shrimp which was real good too. I'm not a big fan of drinking margaritas out of a plastic cup, the salt doesn't stick but hey, what can you do. We were able to get an outside table close to the music. The weather for this weekend was perfect, the best I've expereienced in the 17 years I've coming to the Island. We had good service and great food. On a holiday weekend, I recommend getting there close to 615p when the music starts at 630p or you will wait. This place has new owners and management so it's different from what you may have experienced in the past. Not quite the craft beer selection they had at one time. They do have a large selection of top shelf stuff though. The menu is expanded and a large selection of different types of Oysters. This place is right next to Sorellas Pizza and Past. Some of the pics will confuse you because people have gotten it confused the restaurant that used to sit where Wheelie Fun golf cart rental now sits. read more

Tried the Ocracoke Oyster Company for the first time. We got seated right away and our server was helpful and friendly. My brother got the beer can shrimp which was not what we were expecting. He ate a few and I tried one which was not very good. But we tried something new. My sister in law got the ribeye steak and baked potato. The steak was outstanding, she gave me a bite. She asked for a lot of sour cream and they brought three. We asked a host that was walking by for three more and he walked in the back then went back outside to look at his phone. After ten minutes our server came back and we finally got some. I got the catch of the day with scallops blackened which was very good. Drinks are pricey with not as much alcohol as we are use to but that's ok. We got the blueberry cobbler and asked for an extra scoop of ice cream. There was very little cobbler in there but a lot of whipped cream. The extra scoop of ice cream cost is $4. Not sure if that was worth it. Also you get two drink refills on soda and tea. We would go back but just be careful on what we order. read more

10/10 We had the crab stuffed flounder. Chefs kiss. Trevor was our server and was outstanding! Will be back almost every day for the next week. Ah the Christmas cocktails are delicious. read more

Wow wow wow 5 stars all day long and I'm a food snob. Some of the best oysters Rockefeller i have had. Better than mine and I thought I couldn't be outdone. Large, plump and cooked perfectly. Black beans and rice were awesome and the soft shell crab was great too. Eric did a great job as our server. My wife had a salad and fish Tacos. Salad was very fresh and the Tacos were ababsolutely amazing. We'll be back. I'm just glad I didn't see the 3.5 stars average before stopping because I would missed a great lunch. read more

A bit underwhelming and overpriced. Our waitress was great and we like the ambience/vibe of the restaurant. What was underwhelming was the food. Overpriced for small portions and no taste. I didn't even think salt and pepper could fix the bland, homemade potato salad so I sent it back. Sad to write this because it has so much potential and the waitress was so nice. (Bloody Mary was good too but way overpriced for what it was ($13).) But can't let other people think they're get a good meal here. read more

My husband and I ate here for dinner tonight. Luke was so helpful with our meal choices and giving us insight into the community and history.

Passing through for the day we acted on hunch and stumbled into a killer hot lunch. The fish was sublime, the beer was ice cold, our best meal this week if the truth be told. The fish tacos and sandwich were served quick and just right and the portions would hold us deep into the night. The fries were top shelf, not too thin or too thick, and were also gone soon cause our kids were so quick. The tuna was seared and the flavor unreal, at this great spot for a good outdoor meal. Rhyming aside, definitely stop here if you're hungry in Ocracoke. No joke. read more

The oysters were amazing and the sampler was so good. The crab dip is cream cheese and thick white bread and not worth the price. My husband got the flounder and it was grilled with little to no salt and green beans were ok. The shrimp tacos were good but simple. The service was mediocre and hopefully they don't have a movie on since that's all they did was watch it. The ambiance was nice but we went on a non busy time but for not having too many people, we weren't asked about drinks or refills or anything's Been here done it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Last yrs visit was ok but the bartender made sure she "threw" the beer bottles in the trash. So it was annoyingly noisy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Add to that, the piped music inside wasn't the musicians music outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Places to eat are very limited on the Island. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So this yr we opted to eat outside- flies love the garbage can next to the table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband ordered the Flounder topped with crab. I guess they didn't inform us they ran out of Flounder and opted to use Maui? It was dry and tasteless. When the waitress brought our bill we asked what was the fish they brought. She looked and said "That's definitely not flounder". Normally we would have just returned the plate once we were served but it was late and we were starving. This was our 4th yr on the island. We won't return to this place again next yr. Server was good and pleasant. Overpriced read more

I've been here in June and I've been here in December, and in both seasons it's "good not great". In June it's slammed, and they turn out above-average Calabash-style (aka "fried") seafood and raw oysters, and they work briskly. In December, it's so slow that your food will come out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly. Very nice service. read more

Awesome food! We eat here every time we are in Ocracoke. The fries are the best! Blooming Onion read more

Would NOT recommend! The food was okay, but not for the price. The rice and beans weren't good, basically just beans with a little rice in bean water. Our service was good then completely fell off at the end. We waited longer for the check than we did for our apps & dinner combined. I figured our server was busy but I tracked them down out back where they were just chatting away without a worry in the world. It was frustrating to say the least. The outdoor seating was nice & quiet & was overall cute on a good note. read more

We tried Ocracoke Oyster Company during a quick New Year's trip to the island. My wife had fried oysters and flounder. She thought the seafood was very, very fresh, which is always a big plus. The serving of seafood could have been a bit larger for $27. I was not in the mood for seafood and feeling a bit adventurous, so I tried the General Tso's Chicken. It was freshly fried chicken bits tossed in a moderately spicy sauce (I think I tasted Sriacha) stir fried with onions, carrots, and celery over rice. It was surprisingly good but would have been better with freshly cooked rice instead of the clumpy, old-tasting rice that it came with. Service was friendly, but slow. They get bonus points for welcoming our dog on the covered porch and bringing out a big bowl of water for him. All in all, our meal at Ocracoke Oyster Company was good. While there were some rough edges, it was a reasonable value for Ocracoke and probably the only place on the island serving General Tso's Chicken at any time of year. read more

We stopped in on a Wednesday evening at 6pm after being rudely rejected service at SmacNally's. Our female server was very accomodating and allowed us time to chose some local 1718 beers. We started with six oysters finished with salsa and cilantro. Then six classic served with mignette and cocktail sauce. I wish the cocktail sauce had more flavor and missed having the traditional horseradish side. Also the oysters were not served over ice but in a paper basket which was a miss on presentation. We also ordered 12 oysters casino, three different flavors. There was entirely too much cheese on the oysters and it took away from the seafood flavor. For entrees we shared a pulled pork sandwich and friend shrimp basket . The breading on the shrimp was crispy and the burger fries were great. The restaurant has a lot of outdoor seating and the inside was very fun with themed ocean decor and wood finish. read more
