Sam & Omie's Restaurant
Sam & Omie's
Opened in 1937 to feed fishermen heading out to sea, and one of the oldest casual waterfront restaurants in the Outer Banks.
Founded in 1937 by two fishermen, who originally served breakfast to crews heading out at dawn. It remains a breakfast favorite with locals and visitors. Signature breakfast items include crab Benedict and a very large cinnamon roll for sharing. Lunch and dinner bring burgers, sandwiches, roasted beef short ribs and a local seafood platter. The wood-cabin atmosphere is casual. Reservations are not accepted, and there are long lines during peak season. Located on Beach Road in Nags Head, in the Whalebone section. Closed Wednesdays. About $15–30 per person.
Opening hours
About 7:00/8:00 AM–8:30 PM (Sundays until 2:30 PM); closed Wednesdays; hours may change in the off-season
