Fodor's Review:

A classic clapboard cottage with pine paneling hosts this half-century-old restaurant that has been in the same family and location since 1946. Stick with the seafood or beef, at which the kitchen staff excels. Miss O's crab cakes are ever-popular, as is the filet mignon topped with lump crabmeat and asparagus with béarnaise sauce. Pecan-encrusted sea scallops are plump and tender. The 16-layer lemon and chocolate cakes are delicious. In summer arrive early and expect to wait. The brass-and-glass Station Keeper's Lounge has entertainment Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in summer.

Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.

My husband and I always make sure we have dinner at Owens at least once during our stay in the Outer Banks. We introduced friends to the place and they loved it just as much as we do!
