We are so very sorry that you and Theresa Gramma T Nochera were not satisfied with your experience at Owens.

We are very sorry to hear of your experience at Owens. We would have been happy to replace the meals you were unhappy with if we had known, and certainly would not have charged you. We apologize for the slow service. It was a very busy night and we are so sorry. The cheese and crackers are complimentary any we are sorry you did not like that either. The cheese is Wispride, cheddar cheese spread for crackers. We have passed along your Facebook review to our staff and truly do hope you will try Owens again.

Thank you for dining at Owens!
Go there every time we visit the OBX. Best prime rib on the east coast. Usually bring visiting family from overseas, Owens never disappoints. Very friendly staff, great food, excellent bar service, a rare find these days.
