This down-to-earth seafood spot is known as a local fishermen’s early morning breakfast stop.

Since we were staying right down the street from this restaurant, we decided to walk there for dinner. We were glad we decided to walk since the parking lot was full. The majority of our party got seafood entrees, which everyone enjoyed. We also tried the chicken and burger both were good. We did not care for the seasoning on the green beans but everything else was good. Connie was our server and she was extremely friendly. We had a great time talking to her.
We also tried the restaurant for breakfast. The food was tasty but not piping hot. The biscuits were delicious. We went early and it did get extremely crowded while we were there.

Awesome place for simple easy meals. Hatteras Chowder is the best, has me hooked years ago! Crab cake was all crab – no cake! Awesome! Fries are great! Awesome sweet tea. Well run establishment – 88 years. This is what OBX is about!

Great long time local spot! Food is delicious. The seafood tastes like it came straight out of the ocean. Portions are large. Service is excellent as well. This place just has an old school laid back vibe to it. Definitely worth a visit!

It has been decades since we last ate here & it has only gotten better!! We arrived at lunch time and, though busy, were seated right away. Our server & our food were both excellent. We ordered She Crab soup, which we had never had; it was only lukewarm, but tasted okay. I got a regular cheeseburger, which was served with fries. It was truly one of the best tasting burgers I have ever had. The restaurant was extremely festive for Christmas, adding a great deal to the happy atmosphere. I’m just disappointed that this was our last day of vacation, but it’s on our list for our next visit.

Very casual and great food! Staff was friendly and the manager lady said “later tater tot” after I got my late night to go order lol She was funny, I liked her. Don’t ask for to go orders when busy or late night! LoL just kidding. I’m 1 for 2 on that but she obliged
Sitting by the window and looking at the pier is a pleasant view. I had the broiled Flounder dinner to go late-night, which was cooked perfect! Green beans seasoned just right, corn bread light n fluffy. Came back for the soup and flounder sandwich, which was a yummy mid day treat. I got a flat tire right as I pulled out the parking lot onto the main road, so I’m glad I enjoyed a nice lunch 1st! If you like to stroll the pier, add Sam & Omies to your routine when you’re “down that way.” It’s a good place to stop in, Good folks, Good food! Coming back next trip down. Reminded me of small town Florida restaurant. Glad they have been a long time staple where the road forks A good reason to stop in. Turn Left? Turn right? Stop at Sam&Omies!

Large serving sizes, but kinda bad service compared to everywhere else we’ve been. We got put in a corner, which was fine. But then we never really got checked up on after, and it was hard to get the attention of our server bc they never turned to look at our table.
She crab soup was fine, very rich and cheesy. Fried flounder had many bones in the tail section. Fried oyster had a bit of a strong taste. Was told steak was not seasoned well, severely under seasoned.

Came for a quick bite to eat and a cocktail while in town for a boat delivery. Great local joint. Friendly bartenders and good bar food.

This restaurant is loved by the locals so we gave it a try for breakfast. The service was subpar and the food was ok. My grandmother found a bug in her biscuits and gravy. To the restaurants credit they did comp all our drinks and her meal. Probably won’t be going back.

There’s always a reason for places to be open for a long time… This place does exemplify that statement. Super fresh seafood, great and friendly staff, minimal waiting time and great food. We loved the scallops, fish and the fried calamari!!! Loved this place and we will be back whenever we are back around.

Don’t let anyone fool you, Sam and Omie’s is a true authentic Nags Head Seafood Dinner with excellent and reasonably priced meals. They have been around since the late 30’s and takes one back to a more friendly peaceful time. We love the OBC, and love the casual beach feel. We stop here at least once a trip because it is a taste of memories gone by. Which we cherish. The wait staff is always friendly and attentive. The foods served are excellent and the price is right. We’ve never had a long wait to be served. But during peak times, obviously you can expect a bit of a wait to get seated. They serve fresh seafood. The shrimp pops when you bite into it. The Fish cooked to perfection and always a good variety of seafood offered. The crab cakes are huge and the portions are generous. The large house salad with fried shrimp is my favorite while my husband enjoys the fresh tuna steaks. The coleslaw slaw and cornbread are just as good. If you enjoy desserts, the desserts are made fresh by a local baker. They are equally delicious. We hope that Sam and Omie’s never remodel as we love looking at the fishing photos and walking on the plank floors. Enjoy!
