Sugar Shack Fish Market Oyster Bar and Grill

Ate here based on mixed reviews, so here's another one to throw into the bowl. ATMOSPHERE: This place is a seafood market as well as a casual restaurant. The inside is freezing cold like a market, but we wanted to sit outdoors regardless because of the view. There's great views of the bay under a trellised patio. We saw a shrimper at work too. Expect to be busy shooing flies while eating. FOOD: Clam Chowder It's not New England nor Manhattan style. It's brownish in color and tastes like clam beef vegetable soup. Good but not what I was expecting. Shack Attack Po' Boy This sandwich is way too big. I don't think anyone can open their mouth that wide. I ate with a fork and tossed the bread. It contains fried flounder, shrimp, scallops & oysters on a roll spread with marinara sauce and driz

Loved this place while visiting with family! Absolutely delicious & worth the wait. Enjoy your food & watch the sunset over the water on their patio! Definitely a must to visit when in the area & the employees are so lovely!

Stopped here after not being able to get what we needed at O’Neals and what a pleasant surprise! I was disappointed with O’Neals this time around, but in that bad experience, I found this place. Gentleman inside was super nice and patient. I was worried bc sign said fish market but when we went inside there was hardly anything in the cooler. We ordered a half bushel of oysters and waited literally 5 minutes whereas I’ve had to order and wait a day at other fish markets before. Atmosphere was laid back and chill, view of the sound was beautiful. Will need to go back to try lunch soon. Thank you for a pleasant experience :)

We’ve been doing takeout from Sugar Shack for a number of years when we’re in Nags Head. The fish is usually fresh and freshly prepared, perfect for a quick takeout dinner. This year, we were surprised to see an online ordering option which we quickly took advantage of. It was nice to be able to place an order online early in the day for a dinner time pickup, and other than a little confusion about menu options (which necessitated a quick call that easily resolved the confusion), the online ordering was easy. I arrived at the appointed pick up time, and was immediately told it would be 15 more minutes as they were in the middle of a rush. (The three young men working there were clearly working as fast as they could to fill orders!). In the meantime, I enjoyed checking out the small insid

Absolutely phenomenal! The location is great and the views are also great! We have the real & eat shrimp, oysters, king crab, sweet potato fries, salad and popcorn shrimp and everything was VERY FRESH and delicious. The service was wonderful and the entire team was helpful and welcoming.
