Pop's is frequented by a lot of locals - a sign that the seafood meets local standards of excellence. Across from Buxton Harbor, Pop's specializes in steamed seafood, including shrimp, clams, oysters and crab legs. They also have more hearty fare, like burgers, subs, barbecue, seafood platters and a lot more. They're open for lunch and dinner, and they close on Sundays.

Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website.

Our Kind Of Place!
By OP's from Virginia on 10/29/2008
We had to check this spot out because of the reviews on here!
We were NOT disappointed in the least! Yeah, so it's smokey, we smoke, yeah so it's a local watering hole, we enjoyed the ICE COLD beer! Watched locals shoot darts and (pay attention)...THE BEST STEAMED SEAFOOD ANYWHERE! But please DON'T TELL A LOT OF PEOPLE, WE'D LIKE TO GET A SEAT NEXT TIME WE VISIT. Shared a seafood platter and had leftovers (hint: didn't need the fries or slaw). It was a seafood gazmic experience.
Thanks Pop's and Sherry!

Best CrabCake sandwich anywhere!
By Aero on 10/15/2008
Have frequented Pop's while in Avon on vacation. A local turned me on to it and I live for a crab cake sandwich lunch. I love the small space and the local ambiance. It's a great place to go and just chill out with a few beers and buds.

Still thinking about it.
By wezl66 on 7/15/2008
Went to the OBX 4yrs ago and the most memorable meal I had was not at a fancy restaurant or commercial chain but at a little dive on the side of the road. Yes its smokey, its a bar. No its not flashy, but there's something very appealing about a casual local watering hole. Had the broiled seafood platter for two. Was a little pricey, and the service was very slow, but good Lord the food! Best seafood I have ever had. Food was brought out overflowing on paper plates, shrimp, scallops, crawfish, crab legs, hushpuppies, fries, I can't even remember all the food there was. Ended up giving the rest to some guys at the end of the bar there was so much. If you love amazing seafood in a laid back local joint, go here!

Loved Pop's!
By back2obx on 6/23/2008
Tried this place for the first time last week. Loved the food and beer was ICE cold. Great little local place. It was a little small and parking was tight, but the food more than made up for it. I had the crab nuggets and crabcake sandwich - VERY good. Oh, also tried the Clam Chowdah - AMAZING. Will definitely return next time we're in town.

great steamed shrimp. the atmosphere is a locals bar but interesting. If busy food service can be slow but worth waiting for. If you are looking for a steam bar with local flavor Pop's is the best
