Why scream for ice cream when you can enjoy old-fashioned frozen custard? This wonderfully beachy outdoor take out stand is the perfect stop on a beautiful summer day for delicious frozen custard as well as beach fries, sandwiches, hotdogs and burgers.

The owners of Kill Devil’s will assure you that frozen custard is much more than “another name for soft ice cream.” Frozen custard means the dairy dessert contains 10 percent milkfat and 1.4 percent egg yolk, which makes for a rich and creamy difference you will definitely notice. Frozen custard denser as well because it is not fluffed up with air.

Each day Kill Devil’s Frozen Custard & Beach Fries offers a variety of custard flavors, including chocolate and vanilla, but also more unique creations, such as peanut butter, coconut, key lime or pumpkin. And there are so many ways to enjoy the custard, from cones, to sundaes to the magnificent Wicked Waffle (served between two warm, buttery waffles!). Shakes, malts, smoothies and Hurricanes, blends with candy mix-ins, make it hard to decide on a treat to order.

Kill Devil’s Frozen Custard & Beach Fries offers much more than custard. Make it a stop for lunch and enjoy refreshing , grilled chicken sandwiches and veggie burgers, hot dogs and famous hand-cut beach fries. This beach stand offers the perfect selection for casual summertime meals.

The stand features covered picnic tables where you can enjoy the beautiful summer weather while eating in the shade. This makes it an exceptionally easy place to take your kids for a quick eat and treat.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
