After 58 years Owens' Restaurant is the only restaurant on the Outer Banks still owned and operated by the founding family. Since 1946 four generations of locals and visitors have experienced the famous food and hospitality of the Owens' and Shannon family. History buffs will marvel at the Owens' collection of museum quality artifacts dedicated to the maritime history of the Outer Banks. No other restaurant captures the true spirit and romance of this magical coast.
Owens' Restaurant serves the rich cuisine of the Coastal South, influenced
by the provocative culinary flavors of today. Menu highlights are fresh off
the boat - seafood and shellfish, Whole Maine lobster, tender aged Angus beef,
ribs, pasta, and outrageous homemade desserts. Market availability of seasonal
ingredients determines the chef's choice of nightly specials. An exceptional
wine list rounds out the menu. Come enjoy the cuisine of the coastal south at
the flagship of Outer Banks Restaurants.
While here, we invite you to take your time and view our outstanding display of
original memorabilia consisting of logbooks, photographs, and other historic artifacts of
the U. S. Lifesaving Service, a forerunner of today's U. S. Coast Guard. The Outer Banks
is famous for its history of shipwrecks, and the men of the U. S. Lifesaving Service knew
no end to dedication in rescuing the survivors of the many shipwrecks of the
Graveyard of the Atlantic.
