Dirty Dick's
The name is suiting after watching an employee not wash his hand after using the bathroom. I would advise not eating here.    [19 Apr 2003 00:39:16]

Great Food Despite the Name
Went in to buy t-shirts & the salesgirl talked us into eating lunch. We brought the family back for dinner the next night! Great food and friendly people. Try the grilled oysters!    [11 Dec 2003 10:43:36]

$80 for French Fries
We went to Dirty Dick's in Avon for a light lunch. Their menu is pretty limited; we ended up ordering a crab claws meal, a shrimp and scallop combo and I ordered an $11. salad that included (supposedly) crab claws. I did note on the menu that you could ask for a larger salad in the neighborhood of $19.95. What a disappointment! There was barely ANY seafood on any of our meals. My salad had four of the tiniest crab claws I had ever seen. All of us were terribly disappointed. We were absolutely SHOCKED when we got our tab. I was charged $19.95 for my salad, which was 75% iceberg lettuce. We ran out of there like rats off a sinking ship, all the while our waitress was trying to convince us to order coffee and desserts. We had been gigged enough. Don't waste your hard earned money. Go to Food Lion, buy yourself some real seafood and some iceberg lettuce and save yourself about $75!!    [12 Apr 2004 18:20:17]

Dirty Dick's Crab House in Avon, NC
The food is good but pricey. But this is true of most of the restaurants on the Outer Banks. Dining room could be arranged better. A lot of tables crammed into a small space and the specials on chalk board on the wall. Difficult to see specials when behind you. Being brought the ingredients to make your own cocktail sauce was a good touch.    [17 Dec 2006 00:30:50]

Semi-pricey but good
I found the place to have excellent food, but the menu was a bit confusing. The 5.99 lunch specials were not listed and I didn't ask, so ended up with a full priced entree. The staff was great and the waitress was one of the best I've had.    [09 Jun 2007 17:11:04]

flashbacks!
walking into dirty dicks restaurant on the main highway brought back memories! when i first came to the outer banks many years ago i remember buying my "i got my crabs from dirty dick's" t-shirt off the beach road; today dirty dick's is a full service restaurant serving possibly the best food i have ever eaten! the prices are very moderate for a tourist area (and especially for the quality AND quantity of food served). they have original dishes and dressings (try the shrimply d'licious salade!). the staff was so accommodating and friendly. i own a beach house that i rent and have placed dirty dick's menus in it! i strongly encourage all my guests to have the time of their lives at dirty dicks! i know whenever i'm in town that's the ONLY place i will ever go!    [21 Nov 2007 12:21:08]
