Could have sworn I'd left a review before, but if not here it is (or an update at least)-
Coastal Cravings is a required stop on our annual OBX trips, usually at least twice haha We like getting the steamer pots to make a dinner back at the house and when we come back to return the pots, we stay for lunch :)
There are 2 variety of steamer pots, both come with corn, sausage, and potato in the mix, so you simply choose which seafood combination you prefer. The pots are built/priced in individual servings so you can pick and choose how many of which kind you'd like.
The instructions (included of course) are straight forward and easy to follow. Just account for some time for the pots to be assembled once you order, and then to get to your kitchen, and then to build up that steam ( 'a watched pot' and all that...) Not a fast meal option, but always a super fresh and satisfying one. That being said, you can pick-up the pots using their drive thru lane window! haha
For the dine-in experience, they don't take reservations, so at busier times you may have a little wait. The parking lot is also small, so you might end up across the street, but the speed limit is low in Duck, so crossing shouldn't be too tricky haha There is some patio seating when the weather is accommodating, and inside there are a handful of tables and bar seating. Service is always friendly :)
I don't know if it's just my bad luck that none of the seafood restaurants in the DC suburbs seem to have clam strips? They are a favorite of mine at and I guess it's in the name, but Cravings clam stirps always hit the spot for me! Their fried shrimp, fish tacos, and yes even the cheeseburger, are also family favorites.
If it floats your boat they have some cute merch options by the door as well. My sister and I couldn't resist the Triple D Guy Fieri t-shirts cause we're fans haha
Beach trip isn't complete without a stop here :) read more
