Awful Arthur's

An Outer Banks landmark for more than 20 years, Awful Arthurs meals are prepared to the standards of quality and consistency you’d expect from a legendary restaurant. they have been rated one of the top ten oyster bars in the nation by Coastal Living Magazine [ > Top 10 Oyster Bars ] and been recognized by Esquire Magazine [ > 67 Things Worth a Detour ] for their steamed spiced shrimp. 

Awful Arthur’s atmosphere is very casual and family friendly, so don’t hesitate to bring the kids. Kicked back casual is the rule! The style is nautical with the restaurant’s walls lined with brass ships’ bells and other unique treasures. Who would expect less with the Atlantic Ocean only steps from our door? Awful’s features the beach’s only authentic copper-topped oyster bar and be sure to make your way upstairs for the ocean view from our lounge where you’ll find lots of specials and appetizers sure to please.
