Delicious fresh seafood, quality ingredients. Prices may seem high but keep in mind what you’re getting: literally local seafood from the coast of NC. Outstanding preparation. Supreme freshness. I ran into these guys at a festival (not at this location) and was excited to see they had oysters from where I’m from Down East NC. I ate about 2 dozen. On this visit I had the fried snapper special and was amazed to learn when I got it that it was a whole damn fish! It was awesome! The slaw, waffle fries, and tartar sauce were perfect too. Love this place and what they do.

From Kansas City. Best oysters I ever had. Scallops are amazing. Whole fish is amazing too. Will send nephew to grab 100 oysters to bring to KC when he visits. Family made sure to eat twice when we vacationed there.

It's so sad I've slept on Locals for so long as it is nothing short of awesome! The staff was super welcoming and knowledgeable and encouraged me to get one of the Calabash platters. It was a little pricey at $30, but it was so worth it! From the first bite to the last one was delicious. The fried shrimp had a light crispy batter coating, and it was made even better with the creamy sauce! The grilled shrimp did not need anything as it came with a slightly spicy coating that was oh so good! I could not get enough! I will be back for their tuna sandwich, which I was told is a staple and it very delicious as well! I can't wait!

Great fresh fish. Super knowledgeable staff. I got three different kinds of oysters and they did a great job of explaining them. Check it out

Outstanding! Best oysters on the half shell around perfectly shucked and presented. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent fresh fish to prepare at home.

Solid experience Got the roasted oysters and Nashville hot catfish sandwich. The oysters were chargrilled fine but would’ve like the butter compound to be seasoned. The sandwich was also fine just need something else like a mayo or sauce on the bread to keep the sandwich from being too dry. Overall it was cool and like the food hall
