The Froggy Dog

Got there around 5:30 PM on a Sunday and was immediately seated. Good choice of drinks, cocktails came out relatively quickly. We were just ordering appetizers, and they came out after about 10 to 15 minutes, we were lost in conversation and I was surprised that they got there so quick. My wife ordered fried pickles, I ordered the canonball shrimp; she is not a huge fan of spicy food, while I like to sign waivers for food that is super spicy. Surprisingly, pickles had a little bit too much kick for her, but the sauce on the shrimp was perfect. We ended up sharing the dishes, and ordered the fried cheese appetizer. I was fully expecting to order a second round of appetizers, but the amount we got on each plate was more than enough, and we ended up taking two boxes back to the beach house with us. The couple that was with us ordered the she crab soup, along with half dozen oysters. they both loved the soup, and Chris mentioned that the oysters were super fresh. My last visit was 23 years ago, so I’ve vaguely remember what I had when I was a kid, but it’s easy to tell why they are an OBX staple, and hopefully I can get back for another Hatteras island iced tea and more cannonball shrimp when I grab me a shirt before we leave!!

Love this restaurant and pub. It is a yearly ritual to stop after I bike from Nags Head to Hatteras. My family picks me up and we head to The Froggy Dog (there were 8 of us!!)! This year it was an exceptionally great experience as Liza, our waitress, was so entertaining. She did a great job with service was so pleasant that it really added to the event! I ordered the Captains Burger and it was perfectly done and the fries are crisp and salty. The beer is always cold and the atmosphere on point for the beach. I highly recommend!

This was our first visit and won't be our last. They have an extensive menu both for the seafood fanatic or those who prefer land-based foods. Our server was very friendly and attentive. My shrimp po-boy was very good and the Hatteras chowder was even better. Add this to your must do list if in the Avon NC area.

While on vacation we purely stopped because of the name. But it ended up being really good. They had mocktails for kids and they found that fun. We had a variety of foods with our groups. The staff was great. Gavin was super nice and accommodating. Good food good vibes and good time. Little pricey is the only criticism

We passed The Froggy Dog so many times during our week stay on Hatteras Island. We made a decision to have dinner on our last night and we were so glad we did. The restaurant is huge and because of the very unseasonably warm weather after Christmas, all the outdoor seating were taken. We were glad the restaurant had so many dining patrons. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely spacious and well decorated. We were greeted and quickly seated. Our server Konstance was so delightful. She brought our drinks, told us the specials, and gave her recommendations. I always appreciate servers who will give recommendations because they have tried the food and know what’s good. Our appetizer of Cannonball Shrimp was an ample amount of fried shrimp drenched in a Sriracha mayo sauce. It was crunch, spicy, and delicious. The husband got the crab cake dinner which to quote him “is so crabby”. I opted for the Atlantic Grilled Salmon on a bed of spinach and and wild mushrooms. To say it was delicious is an understatement. The two pieces of salmon were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Our week of relaxation ended with a great seafood meal at The Froggy Dog because everything from the atmosphere to the service to the food was perfect.
