My, My! Owens is the place to go if you want well prepared delicious food. Today was my wife's birthday and I took her to Owens. They were high class and our waitress was the very best! Her name is Tammy and she really served us well! I ordered a NY Strip and my wife ordered Broiled Flounder. Everything was prepared PERFECT! I would highly recommend when you are visiting the Outer Banks. We will definitely return the next time we are down here.

I always recommend that my guests staying at Timothy O. Tillett B&B have a romantic dinner at Owen’s Restaurant. This past weekend and the week before guests returned to the B&B with raved reviews. They absolutely loved the food and the service! Thank you Peaches, Clara Mae and all the staff for making another Outer Banks memory for my guests💕💕 Lorraine https://owensrestaurant.com/

This is a beautiful restaurant. Very welcoming. The decor is warm and shot through with the historical flourishes one would expect from a restaurant that has survived over 7 decades. Just lovely. My recommendation would be to end your trip to this restaurant after walking to your table. Excuse yourself and leave. The food is gross. Bordering on rotten soft shell crab. I had to spit mine out right in my hand. Never ate the appetizer after one bite of the weird gelatinous “Thai” inspired crab cakes. Never had Thai that had suc... read more

The best prime rib I've ever had. Fork tender, cooked to perfection & a nice size portion. From moment we walked in the door to exiting was a wonderful experience.

Visited Owen's on the 4th of July. EVERYTHING served was too SALTY! Even the ranch salad dressing!! Had to repeatedly ask our waiter for items such as: drinks for the kids, extra condiments, and my dinner companion asked for a mixed drink and the waiter never brought it. BAD food AND service for the price you pay. $72 for one adult and one childs meal. Can NOT recommend and Will NOT return.

I've been dining at this Outer Banks treasure since 1981. It never ceases to present a solid experience, beginning to end. The food is delicious, the staff professional and friendly. We brought my mom tonight for her 85th birthday, she was so happy with her prime rib and being serenaded by the staff...Thank you Peaches et all! <3
