🚩 RED FLAG OR NAH? 🚩

We asked the Dirty Dick’s crew the important question: If your date doesn’t like seafood, is that a red flag? 👀🦀🍤

Let’s just say, one person said no. The rest of the crew had some concerns. 😂🚩

What do y’all think? Dealbreaker or can you make it work? Drop your verdict below. 👇

🦀 The countdown is on, y'all! 🦐

The Outer Banks Seafood Festival is happening Saturday, October 17, and Dirty Dick’s will be there serving up the good stuff. Both our Nags Head and Avon crews will be there!

We’re proud to serve North Carolina seafood and support the fishermen and coastal communities that keep it coming. That makes a day celebrating the Outer Banks fishing industry pretty much our kind of party. 🦐🐟🦀

Come hungry for local seafood, cold drinks, live music, and a full day celebrating the Outer Banks fishing community. Festival hours are 10 am–6 pm at the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head.

Mark that calendar and come find Dirty Dick’s. 😏🦀

Alright y’all, cozy season means GUMBO season. 🍂🥄

When there’s a little chill in the air, there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of rich, hearty gumbo piled with rice and packed with that Cajun flavor we love.

Come get cozy, Dirty Dick’s style.

LOW COUNTRY BOIL, because a fork just feels wrong here. 🦐

We’re talkin’ a heap of seasoned shrimp, corn on the cob, red potatoes, and a cup of melted butter sittin’ there like it knows exactly what’s about to happen.

Peel. Dunk. Devour. Repeat. 😏

Napkins are optional. Getting messy is part of the experience.

RIBS, BABY. 😮‍💨🔥

Cooked in-house, grilled, and brushed with our BBQ sauce until they’re sticky, smoky, and downright hard to resist.

Then we pile on the good stuff, corn on the cob and creamy cheese corn grits on the side.

Crab house or not, we know our way around a rack of ribs.

Time to pick your fighter. 🦀🔥

Are you going BIG with King Crab, meaty, massive, and made for cracking into, or keeping it classic with Sno Crab and those sweet, tender legs?

Either way, add some corn, potatoes, plenty of butter, and get ready to make a mess. 😏

Team King Crab or Team Snow Crab?
