    Blue crab nachos!
    Beth T.

    Loved this place. The Blue crab nachos I will be dreaming about for years to come. Wait staff is friendly and kept our sweet tea full! They only have counter seating, but it is worth it!

    We weren't sure what to expect when pulling up to the place, but once we entered it was evident this place has a really great atmosphere and feel to it. Bar style seating throughout most of the place and a couple large tables but the mirror running length of bar gives it a unique touch to see everything that's going on. Servers were super friendly and very attentive. Crab was good and very comparable to restaurants we had eaten at throughout the week. The edamame peas were amazing! One of the best we have had and the portions were plentiful.

    Hush puppies with a great brown butter dipping sauce

    Although this place has Mostly bar type seating with a few tables, the place is comfortable. There is a row of bar stools facing the back wall, but in a cool twist, the restaurant has a mirror the runs the length of the entire wall that allows those sitting on these chairs to see everything that is going on, instead of looking blankly into a dead space. Service was friendly and helpful. I started with a cup of oyster stew. The broth was very good with a unique spice i could not put my finger on. The stew was also loaded with Oysters. I also had 2 tacos, the 1st one was fired founder and the other was fried scallops. Both had shredded cabbage and an outstanding mango salsa. While I like the scallops better, the fish was massive and cooked perfectly. The wife ordered soft shells after the server told us they were fresh which I thought was odd as they normally are not in season until March. Regardless she enjoyed them very much. The wife also had to try the Steamed potatoes. Steamed potatoes must be an OBX thing as outside a seafood boil we never really seen them served on their own yet but almost all restaurants seem to serve them. Again another part of her meal she enjoyed. Finally the wife had a side order of hush puppies which came with an amazing dipping sauce which seemed to be a cross between a browned butter sauce and candied apple. Trust me you need to try this.

    Catfish fillet sandwich, with hush puppies
    Jake N.

    Best hush puppies I've had. Lots of great stuff like the Dungeness crab, but you have to get the hush puppies. Raw oysters were quite large and the cocktail sauce was great, very horseradishy. Fried shrimp were good, nice light breading and not oily. The catfish fillet sandwich was okay, the sauce was served on the side and there wasn't enough for the sandwich. The sandwich lacked in a cohesive flavor, mostly due to not enough salt. The Dungeness crab was spectacular. Crab was warm and delicious, complemented by the amazing clarified butter. The hush puppies were the highlight of the meal. Super crispy outside, almost to the point of burning it, with a soft dense inside. The sweet sauce that is served with it is to die for. I don't usually like sweet with my hush puppies but this sauce changed my mind. Love this place and will for sure be coming back for those hush puppies.

    Soft crab sandwich

    I tool a trip to the OBX and i was looking for some good seafood at first I was hesitant, there are many seafood restaurants around in the area but not all have a good food, however this place didn't disappointed me. I got a soft crab sandwich and was very delicious and good size, i had some steam potatoes and they were very well seasoned, my friend got some crab legs and fried crab with cheese broccoli, that was her first time trying both and she was very satisfied. ( i want to thank you to the waitress unfortunately i forgot her name but she was very helpful, she helped my friend and explained to her how to eat and extract the meat from the crab she was so patient). Definitely this is a place that i would recommend.

    Fried oysters

    Holy cow, this place is so fresh and delicious! Service is also very friendly and surprisingly fast. Top-notch, cannot recommend enough.

    Still AMAZING!!! Stopped back in and all the food was still so good! We had crab legs, fried shrimp taco, crab soup, and hush puppies and one dish was just as good as the next. Service is still great, and they make you feel right at home. Always make sure you have what you need/want. The place is still the same small size but if you work it at the right times (getting there early you won't have a problem!

    Silver fish taco and crab meat taco and waffle fries
    Kudakwashe T.

    If fresh and tasty seafood is what you're looking for, this is the spot to go to. It tastes like they just caught it fresh from the Atlantic Ocean and fried it up. I had fish tacos with mango and other toppings, crab, and waffle fries. The service is fast and friendly. The staff stay positive and emit good vibes and are super attentive. The vibes and ambiance were warm and inviting. I got my crabs here and I hope you get yours here too. Highly recommend stopping here for yummy seafood, good times, and good vibes!

    One critter

    Beginning of trip, we hit "I got your crabs." My first impression of blue crabs on the island was quite favorable. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered the crab nachos which will become a theme on the island. We also ordered a dozen medium steamed blue crabs. O.M.G. Nachos were a lightly fried wonton chip. So airy and crisp with crab in every bite. I ate so much that when the whole crabs arrived, I was already stuffed. But, stuffed or not I ate more of these tasty critters. We had leftovers, which we heated at the hotel and enjoyed a second meal. Cute little bar with counters and bar stools. Brown paper is put on the stainless steel counters. Located in a little strip mall, parking was plentiful since we got there early. It was completely full when we left. A good place for good food.

    Fried Shrimp Plate with Sweet Potato Fries

    If you're seeking a a variety of seafood from a place that specializes in shellfish and oysters then I Got Your Crabs is the place to check out. Instead of your seaside patio its setup resembles a diner in a strip mall. Wait for a seat at the counter and you'll get a great view of the seafood coming out of the kitchen as well as the crabs by the register. We started with the crab bisque which created us not only with great flavor but with delicious small chunks of crab. The meals were large servings and my whole family was stuffed. The breading on the soft shell crab was good and not overpowering, allowing me to enjoy the taste of the crab. The fried shrimp was also very good and One of the brown sugar sauce for the sweet potato fries stole the show! If you're seeking great shellfish options check out I Got Your Crabs. The variety of options

    Crab nachos, 1/2 dozen oysters, a scallop roll and a lost colony IPA - what else does anyone need? Yum.
    Tom S.

    Walk in and eat at the counter. All fresh seafood made, shucked to order! Yum. You will enjoy the food.

I chose coleslaw as my slaw.z it was fresh but could have used more seasoning. Our server was fantastic. He was constantly checking on us and providing instant soda refills.

I talked Ms T into trying it again. We just can't handle a big lunch and wanted to avoid leftovers, so decided to split a pickle brined chicken sandwich with fries and an extra side of slaw. The sandwich was OK. To start with it needed more seasoning. How about breaking out the black pepper and garlic powder? The meat was uncharacteristically tough/chewy for chicken breast. I suggest they need to be pounding it to tenderize it and then brine it. It was actually hard for us to cut and eat. It really looked nice, but I think I am done with pickle brined chicken. It just never gets enough brine impact. They make good small caliber fries that were piping hot and the slaw was fine for me. Ms T did not care for it so I got it all. Our food was OK, not stellar. The service was excellent, but I still can't make this better than three stars. I hope to convince her to return for a burger during this trip.

    For the first time ever, we had some disappointments at Black Pelican. We have lunch or dinner…read moreduring most of our twice-per-year visits to the area. It has always been good, and we definitely won't let this deter us from returning. Ms T had her usual Shrimp basket lunch. The issue was that the shrimp were not cooked through. They were still translucent. We totally understand not wanting to overcook shrimp, but these were not quite done. On the bright side she commented on how good the slaw was. I have been on a kick to try barbecue at restaurants that are not barbecue joints per se, to see if I can find some hidden gems. For example, both Sam & Omie's and Wanchese Marina serve a good barbecue sandwich. Black Pelican, at least on this day, does not. I must say, the serving was huge. This was more than enough for two meals for me. The barbecue was dry and not well flavored. The texture and flavor was more like dried out beef that has been over-roasted. This is not something I would order again here. All that being said, I am leaving the rating for Black Pelican as it is because we have always had good meals here. I accept that it can't be 100% perfect every time and sooner or later we will run into something that is less than stellar. We will continue to return. I just know this not where I will have barbecue and we are sure the shrimp thing was just a one timer.

We were a group of 8 and really no one cared for their food... shame on us for taking a recco, and not reading the reviews. Guy F should be ashamed of himself.
