Cockeyed Clam Restaurant

What a fantastic little joint! We got the blue crab stuffed ravioli and grilled salmon, sushi rice bowl! It did not disappoint!!! We will be making this establishment a must stop when we visit Hatteras Island! Maggie the bar tender recommended the tropical margarita with pineapple and watermelon. It was light and refreshing! Very tasty!

The Cape Hatteras Motel suggested this restaurant and boy what a great idea! We had no wait (wasn't during high season) on a Friday around 6. Jordan was our waiter and he was wonderful - very knowledgeable about their restaurant and food and also the area. We had the catch of the day with cucumber salad and mac and cheese. And I had the cod fish, shrimp and crab cake. The freshest seafood we've had in a long time. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend.

We popped in for some very late lunch (it was around five, but it’s our anniversary so we’re on our own schedule) and had the black drum cotd and peel and eat shrimp. Beets and cucumber salad were sides for the catch. Everything was delicious. Our bartender took amazing care of us and we really just enjoyed everything about the experience. They had folks at the bar (my favorite place to eat) and parties from two to much larger. They’ve got it going on, great food, great vibes. Definitely recommend.

We came here on an off-season trip down to OBX and we are so glad we did. We sat at the bar and the atmosphere was pure local with folks enjoying their beverages and food and chatting loudly across the bar and ragging on each other and in general laughing and having a wonderful time. We loved it but if you want a bit quieter experience there are lots of options in the dining room as well. Bartender was attentive and polite and they had seasonal creative cocktails as well as a great selection of local brews! It was burger night with good-looking reasonable options that included fish, crab and chicken burgers. I had the crab cake and a special blue crab ravioli- both weren’t del-loaded with crab. My husband had the calamari and it was a bit greasy but good. Stop in! You will not be disappointed!

The food was absolutely delightful. We sat at the bar for dinner while the place was packed. Crab cakes were mostly crab and barely any breading - simply awesome!!! Goat cheese balls with berry compote were a delightful started but also could be a savory desert. Outdoor sitting available. Kids are welcome. I definitely would come back each time when visiting this area!

We’ve seen this restaurant for a long time and decided to finally go for our Family Dinner. What a surprise and delight. The staff is very friendly and provide outstanding service. I can’t rave enough about the entire staff. It was quite refreshing. The food and drinks were equally outstanding. Everyone was very happy with their meals and drinks. The Shrimp and Grits were delish! Half of our party ordered the bone in pork chop. The mashed potatoes and green beans were cooked to perfection. We also ordered dessert. We got the cheesecake, Key Lime Pie and Chocolate pecan pie. The cheesecake was one of the best I’ve ever had. Come to find out… they make all desserts in house. Makes total sense given the flavor! Thank you for such a memorable night. This will become a yearly tradition for us to come and visit your restaurant. Shout out to Corey T. Our server. You’re the best and we appreciate you so much! See you next year!

Food was great, always a fun time to visit here while in OBX. Good calamari sauce like a sweet Thai chili, 10/10 would recommend. Also good lobster bisque I’d take a risk for it

From start to finish our experience was excellent. Debbie was a phenominal server and so very sweet. (Turns out we know her family from 4 hours away in Pilot, NC) for our meal we got 5 apps and not even one of them missed the mark at all. The food was incredible. Bang bang shrimp special, Fried goat cheese, lobster escargo, brussel sprouts that would make a hater fall in love, and the best crab dip. We we able to order a crab cake and some fried oysters without buying a whole meal to get them and they were both next level good. And to close it out My wife, the self proclaimed creme brulee afficianodo, has claimed Cockeyed Clams to tbe the best creme brulee shes ever had. It was so smooth not slimey or goopy like most! 10 of 10 would recomend and cant wait to go back.
