When Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar threw open its doors more than two decades ago, it was an immediate hit with Outer Banks locals. Back then, owner Jay Whitehead lured customers with plentiful oysters, pit-steamed to perfection. The customers came back time and time again, not just for the food but also for the restaurant's friendly atmosphere and service, and before long Awful Arthur's developed into an Outer Banks legend. Awful Arthur's is the Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar and kicked back casual is the rule. You'll find an amazing variety of fresh and flavorful seafood and plenty of non-seafood items as well.
