Owens Restaurant is one of our favorites on the OBX! Not only do we dine there regularly but our family has been celebrating special occasions with them for years. They catered my wedding almost 20 years years ago along with my 50th birthday party, my parents 50th anniversary and we continue to host our office Christmas party yearly! Great people, delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere. ❤️

My favorite restaurant on the Outer Banks hands down! We have lived here for 16 years and have spent many birthdays,anniversaries, date nights etc with the Owens family and they never disappoint. The food is always excellent and I always leave fully satisfied. When family comes to visit, this is where they ask to go and we can't wait to oblige! 

Business response:

Thank you so much Melinda! We sure do appreciate your friendship and support of many, many years!

We have eaten at Owens for over twenty years often twice a week and have enjoyed every meal. Love the wait staff and the family. No where else on the Outer Banks can you receive good service, an elegant atmosphere, fresh food, a cheese crock and his puppies as well as more food than you can possibly eat. I look forward to our quiet evenings relaxing and eating the day's specials. Thanks Peaches and Jim. 

Business response:

Thank you so much Annie and Burt! We appreciate your support and your friendship! Best wishes and we hope to see you soon!

This restaurant is over-priced and way, way, way over-rated. Our "Lobster Bisque" was gelatinous, tasted of strong chicken broth and included dry, canned lobster. We should have asked for our check right after the soup but unfortunately we pressed on to the entrees. When the Pecan-encrusted scallops came out, I thought someone had ordered a plate of large meatballs in brown gravy!! These were not tasteful and they were not fresh, the crust fell off of them immediately but it was just as well. The other entrees proved to be e... read more

Food was absolutely amazing in terms of taste; however, we are quite sure it was undercooked as it caused us violent stomach pain later that night. It's really a shame. The food was so good that we thought we would be making Owen's a mainstay at the OBX, but it doesn't matter how good food tastes when it ends up getting you sick due to undercooking, food poisoning, or whatever else caused it. 

Business response:

Oh no...we are so sorry to hear this and hope you are ok! Please call us at 1-252-441-7309 so we can check on you. What did you both eat that night and which evening did you dine at Owens? Do you remember your server's name or which dining room you were in so we can try to find out what you had to eat? We have not had any issues or calls about our food making them sick and we serve over 400 people most nights. We practice good food handling practices and our kitchen staff has completed and passed our county health department... read more
