Just what makes Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar so special? After all, the Awful Arthur's name is known the world over. So how did this unassuming restaurant grow from being the local's favorite to an eatery famous for great food and fun times? Could our charming happy oyster mascot have some mystical powers? After all, he's been seen on everything from ashtrays to umbrellas. Or maybe it's our location. Being just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Atlantic ocean, directly across from one of the Outer Banks's most popular fishing piers, guarantees that Awful Arthur’s is home to some of the freshest seafood you'll ever enjoy.

That fresh seafood is certainly another ingredient in our recipe for success: our menu is brimming with delectable entries straight from the sea. And fresh seafood is just the beginning of delicious fare you'll enjoy when you and your family and friends dine with us.

Or it could be the great atmosphere and wonderful people you"ll find inside our doors. Why not step inside and decide for yourself exactly what makes dining at Awful Arthur's a special experience.
