“Great little hidden treasure! Indoor and outdoor seating options. Can also take out. We had meat trio, mahi mahi and funnel fries. All was fabulous! Waiter was attentive. Atmosphere was laid back and welcoming. Will go back when we come into town.”

“Sooey’s may just look like a typical southern restaurant however this little shack is way more than being typical .Their pulled pork sandwich is one of the better ones I’ve had,same can be said with their hush puppies, and their prices are very reasonable. Everything at this restaurant is at least decent it might not be amazing all of it but it will all be at least decent this is true for their cornbread,mac and cheese, and tenders.Along with all of this their staff is very nice and hardworking. All of this makes Sooey’s one of my favorite spots to eat when I am down in the Outer Banks.”
