    I can't believe we have been driving by Steamers for the last five years! It is our new favorite restaurant on the OBX. We have a home in Corolla, so we normally eat at restaurants local to our beach house, or drive down to Duck. The staff at Steamers was superb...we were greeted by the owner's sister-in-law, who couldn't have been nicer while taking us to our table. Our server Tess was even better...helpful without being intrusive, pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu...made great recommendations. Then, the food was outstanding...I had the Dave's special, a pistachio-crusted Sheep's Head. Oh, and the Manhattan from the bar was one of the best I've had in a long time. We'll be back, and it won't be another five years!

    We love Steamers! Such a great spot! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service, always amazing. Saturday we strayed from our usual menu items and definitely another perfect choice! Thank you Dee for the recommendations! Everything we ordered exceeded expectations—highly recommend!

    The food and service are exceptional. The lighting could be more subtle. Overall this is some of the best in dining on the Outer Banks no doubt.
