Nags Head Fishing Pier

It’s a lovely view, however, we waited a solid 10 minutes to even have a drink order taken. It took an additional 5 to get the drinks. I observed wait staff carrying drinks with their fingers in the glasses, an awkward on going argument between a particular waitress and the hostess, and this waitress whining over literally every aspect of her job in front of guests. The food was mediocre at best, and took another 20 minutes to make it to our table. but at least my mixed drink was ok. Beware of this place, take your business elsewhere.

The breakfast is reasonably priced. The servers are nice. The hostess station is lacking personality. Whether it’s the old woman or young lady there they are not pleasant.

Do not pay for parking here. There is a public beach entrance a block down the road. Hopefully this review can save you 10 bucks. This pier is old. It takes 2 dollars to go on the boardwalk. The video games in there are super old. Most of them don’t even work. There is a pool table, but it is usually occupied. Would recommend you go down to Jeanette’s pier instead.

Nags head fishing pier. Such a simple name. They have a great selection of snacks and drinks, from beer to soda. They have very good prices, having a pack of Swiss Rolls for only 50 cents.
If you are going for the pier, you will not be disappointed. It is long, and fairly cheap to access, only being 1.50 $.

I have been to many piers. This was lovely. Very easy access, nice seating, and very maintained. We walked to the very end and they had running water and little sinks to wash your hands and beer is sold at 7 am. They even sold breakfast here. We are catching fish left and right. We will be back from sure.

If you want beer and a view, this is the place for you. Anything… and I mean ANYTHING outside of that, you are out of luck.
Ordered salad topped with fried shrimp– got salad (if you want to call iceburg and a Sysco refrigerated tomato a salad) with RAW grilled shrimp.
Ordered fried fish sandwich, did not get hushpuppies or coleslaw that come with the sandwich. Never got mayo or onion rings that we ordered.
Drinks were weak and overpriced.
Had a little one with us and were surronded by smokers.
Manager (?) came by and asked how thing were. We told him the truth. He pilled on a bunch of excuses did not offer to do anything… take the sandwich off the bill? buy us a drink? dessert… nothing …nada
doubt we will be back

I went to this pier at sunrise to take sunrise photos (no fishing). Cost is $ 1.50 to walk on the pier. Clerk reminded me the pass was valid until 5am the next morning & invited me to do sunset photos there as well.
The pier is of a good length and is maintained well.
I stayed out of the fishermen’s way and they gave me plenty of space to do my photos.
Pleasant experience.

Took an hour to get our food and it was average. Also, ten minutes passed between the first of our party getting their food and the last. We have been coming here every summer for 20 years, and this visit was a disappointment. It looks like they added a bunch of outdoor seating, and the kitchen just cannot handle the crowd.

Great food, great location. Loved the shrimp scampi!

80 minutes to get our food. Poorly managed staff. You are taking your chances here. With so many places to eat in OBX don’t waste one vacation moment at this restaurant.

You can’t beat the atmosphere and the outdoor deck for dining or drinks.
Unfortunately, a below-​average quality of food combined with a very slow kitchen ruin what could otherwise be the best treasure in town.
They have serious kitchen problems. If they fixed their food and their service, we’d be every-​other-​day regulars.

We didn’t go fishing but we enjoyed the Happy Hour shrimp and wings! Can’t beat 10 cent shrimp and 25 cent wings! So much so we went there four times in 8 days!!!

Not bad as far a piers go but you can tell that the ocean is starting to have its way with the underlying structure resulting in some heaving of the walkway. $ 1.50 to go for a walk on the pier and see the views — certainly reasonable and hopefully they put th revenue into maintenance. Good view looking back at the shore from the end of the pier. Not much else to say. Hey, it’s a pier, whatdayawant?

Didn’t catch any fish but the guy behind the counter is very knowledgeable and willing to help you and even help save you money of possible. He suggested he try a weight on out weaker pole (within limits) instead of resting a pole from him. The views from the pier are Incredible, I feel like even thought I paid $ 10 for the fishing license I didn’t even use and could have just purchased a $ 1.50 sightseeing ticket, it was totally worth it.
