The Froggy Dog

This place is amazing!! Great food, service and atmosphere! Liza was our server. She was prompt, professional and polite! She makes the best Old Fashions! 🥃🥃, the beer 🍻 was frosty cold! The food was so fresh and delicious! Huge portions too. The blackened Tuna Bites were the best!!The atmosphere was fun and we had good conversations. Go to The Froggy Dog and get some blackened Tuna Bites! You’ll be glad you did!

This place was definitely a 10/10 for our family of 5. I got a salad with ranch and honey mustard dressing. The honey mustard was the best I've ever had. The servings are pretty good size. A little pricey but worth it. My daughter got the alfredo and said it was amazing. My husband got the surf n turf meal and said it was the best steak he's ever had and the best fish and shrimp. Kids got chicken tenders, corn dogs and fries and they enjoyed those as well. Definitely recommend! The service was amazing as well! Very nice place, pretty inside!

The food here is perfectly cooked. Celebrated my honeymoon with my wife here and could not believe the portions. We ordered an appetizer sampler and expected it to be like other places where you only get a couple of everything but this plate came out huge see photo. Our server was such a great person and wish I could remember her name to commend her but she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. We will definitely be back next year. Thanks again!

Stopped here for lunch. The place was nicely decorated. We ordered soup and an order of fries. It took 35 minutes to get our food. The soups were delicious and had plenty of crab meat in them. Unfortunately at the bottom of our fries was an overcooked fried oyster which was gross to find.

Definitely recommend this unique place. Atmosphere was awesome. We had the crab cake sandwich and Mahi mahi. Both of those were fantastic. Also started with the calamari which was a huge portion and so good! Our waitress was fabulous and told us how it really was which we greatly appreciated. Unfortunately don’t recommend the potato salad is was bland and mine had several bad potato’s in it.

This place is good y’all! Stopped in and got some light bites to eat! Highly recommend the blackened tuna bites and the crab stuffed mushrooms! Tuna bites were full of flavor and had a mango salsa on top, tasted almost like steak! The crab stuffed mushrooms were large portobella mushrooms stuffed with a light creamy cheese crusted cap, with jumbo lump crab meat for the topping, garnished with lemon!! It paired really well with the tuna bites! It’s a must stop if you’re in the area, and the desserts are locally made and super popular. They give good portions, the chocolate cake was huge! Will definitely go again!

We had a very wonderful server. She was nice and she checked on us constantly. The food was very delicious. I had southwest mac n cheese. Was a bit on the spice is right side and left me feeling happy. My family and I had a wonderful time. We will be back next year.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner and we ordered the sampler as an appetizer but it ended up being most of our meal, because it is huge! We had to take most of it home with us. We also ordered steamed shrimp and crab bisque, which were delicious.

Server was top notch!!!! Good great. Burger looked amazing. Cocktail sauce was homemade and delicious. Fried shrimp yummy. Perfect French fries!!! Lively photos on the wall. Pub atmosphere. Gingerbread crème brûlée yummy.

Service was great but the place smells like mold and it's dirty. Sushi was terrible as it was a lot of rice and just a sliver of tuna. The wontons for the poke were burned. Won't be going back

Overall not a bad experience!! There were mixed reviews on here and Google so we took a shot and had lunch here one day. Cute little place right off the side of the road, lots of frog decor (obviously) and the staff were nice and friendly. I had a Caesar salad with fried chicken added and my partner had the jumbo peel apart shrimp and the lunch special (swordfish sandwich). Everything was good with my only issue being the shrimp could've been cleaned better. All in all worth a meal.

Lavender Mimosas...yummmmm. Breakfast tacos, spot on. Shrimp tacos get 8 of 10. Frog legs were a bit of a disappointment, took them home, the breading was too soft. Service with a smile, Liza made the drinks and kept them coming ..

Very good menu, especially on a Sunday for Fall Brunch. I got the crab cake Benedict which was good but pretty subtle.

The service was great! Liza was absolutely fabulous. There were 6 people in our party and everyone had their drink in hand within minutes of ordering. We appreciated the quick service. We also tried the frog legs which we lightly breaded and tasty. This place is also great for large parties and it's kids friendly.

We came for a late lunch, so it was not crowded and the service was great. The server recommended the blackened mahi mahi, which was excellent! She also recommended the cucumber and potato salads as sides. Both of these were delicious. My husband chose the flounder with pasta salad and upgraded one side for a garden salad. He enjoyed them all, although the garden salad was nothing special for a pricey upgrade fee.

This amazing restaurant sits in Avon North Carolina on the coast has a wonderful chef, amazing dishes, even a wine tasting room just because it looks like a little resort restaurant don't be mistaken. This is a first class dining experience.

Spacious casual restaurant with a wide variety of food options on the menu. I ordered the She Crab Soup which was just okay. The flavor was good but the soup was barely warm and had zero crab in it. For dinner I ordered the mushroom ravioli. This dish was extremely heavy. More appropriate for a northern winter menu than OBX. I Should've asked for some marinara sauce or lemon, anything to cut what was an extremely thick and cheesy sauce. There was a generous portion but after just eating a few, I was done. Just too heavy for me overall. This could be a very good dish with a few changes to the sauce. My husband ordered the surf and turf and said the shrimp was fantastic. He received a huge cut of beef but sadly it was extremely undercooked. He ordered the steak medium rare but it came to the table cold and purple inside. My husband insisted on eating it rather than sending it back to be cooked a bit more. He suffered with stomach issues for the next two days for his valiant effort. Service was excellent and fast but the restaurant was pretty empty due to horrible weather and our late arrival. There was a woman singing and playing the guitar. She seemed uninspired and not happy to be there but it wasn't exactly a packed house so I get that. Prices were high, but in line with other eateries in the area. We would definitely return to give this place another shot. Just wasn't a great meal for us.

Great service and good food. This was a fun place to have dinner. We came early and got seated right away. We enjoyed some fun drinks for both kids and adults and ordered appetizers to share. Our meals were delicious and dessert was amazing. Great place to grab a bite.

Food was absolutely amazing! Our server Ana was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was great!

Ordered take out this afternoon & food did not disappoint. Picked up in the bar area and bartender was very attentive & nice. New look inside is very nice. We will definitely return!

My families favorite spot! Go on a Monday night, way less crowded. Ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. The food is always delicious and the service has always been friendly. Bar tenders are great too. Highly recommend stopping in, they have food choices for all and plenty of room to accommodate large parties.

We ordered dinner to go since it was a 5 minute walk from our beach house. My wife had the Caesar salad with sautéed shrimp (which the call taker recommended on how the shrimp was cooked). My son had the kids chicken tenders and fries. Batter smelled good and was fresh. I had the flounder, two large fillets which I didn't expect. Good batter like the tenders. Had the mash potatoes which was tasty and vegetable of the day which was mostly fresh green beans. Overall good! Quick and service friendly!

STAY AWAY. This establishment is in the habit of scamming. I called the restaraunt trying to resolve a total 50% over what I ordered: but when the lady who picked up answered, and heard what I had to say, she just put me on speaker then hung up. The froggy dog kept adding more money to an already inflated total, which reflects on my balance. I guess they are used to being able to overcharge drunk tourists, but I will not be one of them! I have submitted a dispute with my credit union, am ready to report them further, and suggest others do the same to avoid future people being scammed.

I stayed in Avon for a week and ate here 4 times! The burgers are fantastic, the best I had here, and both appetizers (calamari, cheese bites) I had were huge portions! Can't recommend this place enough, they had a kind staff and plenty of beers on tap. Unfortunately I only took a photo of the fried cheese!

The food was awful!! Asked to speak with the manager and he was downright disrespectful!! The linguini and clams had no flavor and tasted like pasta water. The filet Oscar had no crabmeat. The only good thing was our waiter Bruno. Don't waste your time or money here.

It's funny because the one restaurant that I was told not to go to, ended up being the best place I came to while in OBX. We came here for lunch, so it was very empty and quiet. Our server Mann (hopefully that's how you spell it) was extremely sweet and very helpful. We started off with Blue Hawaiians and they were so good and refreshing after a day in the hot sun. I ended up getting the popcorn shrimp platter with fries and the cucumber salad. Everything tasted great and you could tell it was all fresh, plus the amount of food you got for the price was awesome! From what I heard, this place is now under new management and has improved, so definitely stop by!

Flounder and corn,bacon, clam chowder was excellent. Also the cucumber salad. The home made chips were good

If I could give this zero stars I would. The only bright spot of this place was our server, Bruno. The wait for our food was unacceptable. Once it came we were 100% disappointed. Ordered the scallops and the risotto was sour and tasted spoiled. The pasta had no flavor and tasted like pasta water. The filet Oscar had no crabmeat on it. When asked to speak with the manager, he was rude and condescending and told us he was right and we were wrong. Save your money and go have pizza at Angelo's in Buxton!

Not sure why the bad reviews in the past but we had an excellent meal. Tuna bites and fresh oysters were excellent. The interior space was very spacious and service was excellent. .

Great food, great service, and the vibes were excellent. We'll stop here every time we're in the area for their shrimp po boy and the BEST fries

The food here is excellent along with the service! Nice atmosphere to dine in! I would highly recommend this place!

The Froggy Dog appealed because I liked the name. It was one of the few restaurants open on Hatteras at the beginning of March. Since I stopped early, there were plenty of tables open. The service was excellent. I ordered the cheese curds and the lemon pepper chicken. The cheese curds were flavorful with a marinara sauce. I had to request more sauce since I was taking over half of them back to my hotel. The lemon pepper chicken was tender and juicy with just enough spice so that it didn't overwhelm the chicken. I have been telling many of the people I worked with that week that they need to stop in if they head to the Outer Banks. It's definitely a restaurant I would visit again if I ever go back there.

Service was amazing, very friendly sever food was quick. Cheese curd appetizer was the family favorite! Creamy and crisp with the best marinara! Local blueberry cider is a must! All the food we tried was very good! Great family friendly spot!

Great food! The place is huge & we sat at the bar which was perfect. The bartender was attentive & quick. Will definitely come back next time we're in town!

This a bit "divey" of a place. It didn't seem all that clean. It's very well-worn. It's really big, with multiple dinning rooms and a large bar. Service was excellent. They had a small selection of draft beers. I had the golden ale. My wife's and I split the shrimp Po' boy with fries and added a side of Cole slaw. The Po' Boy had a total of six shrimp, so it was mostly a lettuce and tomato sub. The fries were also small-sized, as was the Cole slaw. That being said, it was all good.

We came in late Sunday night about 30 minutes before close and sat at the bar. Our bartender Jeremy was awesome. The drinks were great. He didn't rush us out and paid plenty of attention to us even though he was also trying to close down. The food was real really good and nice sized portions. We liked it so much, we went back again later in the week. We ended up being Liza's last customers at the bar that she was great too!

New management needed. Indifference to customer concerns . Poor food quality . It was so bad it's hard to expand

Had to check out this fun looking place; so glad we did! Stopped in for some beverages and apps at the bar - fresh oysters and the blackened tuna bites were delicious! Loren, the bartender, was AMAZING! Great selection of drinks and food! Do not pass this place up. Enjoy!!

The staff were really nice and accommodating, but unfortunately the food was not good. As someone who worked at a local seafood restaurant in Kill Devil Hills summer 2017 and 2018 I was disappointed for the following reasons: 1. The Oyster Rockefeller was so loaded with cheese and bacon that we couldn't find the oysters. We picked this spot because it was on the oyster trail but for a good charbroiled oyster dish that celebrates the oyster I recommend Two Roads Tavern - this was bad. 2. The Peel n Eat Shrimp were so overcooked they couldn't be peeled - not as bad as shrimp that have been frozen for too long and turned to a pulp - but not ideal. 3. The She Crab Soup: One of my favorite dishes but sadly we counted two lumps of crab in the bowl ($12.99) and the soup was in need of seasoning and sherry. It reminded me of canned soup. Very disappointing.

Cute little find on our way to Hatteras. Our server was very friendly and helpful for those in our group that were indecisive (me!) Food took awhile to come out. The fries were cold.. sad. Overall ok experience

Amazing food and nice pub like atmosphere. Staff was amazing and punctual. Highly recommend!!

This is an icon in Avon It used to serve fresh fish and seafood that changed based on availability , now it's more like frozen std fare The service was excellent, the atmosphere is great but the food was a bit disappointing

The food was great, the service was excellent. The ambiance was as you would expect for a beach bar!

Please note, if your group does not arrive together, you will be purposely sat as far away as possible, even in an empty dining room. The hostess appeared very and inexplicably frustrated that our group did not arrive together (3 min apart) and sought to punish us by refusing to sit our group together. Otherwise this restaurant is unremarkably similar to many other restaurants in OBX, essentially bar food with a hefty drink menu.

The restaurant is really cool looking but not very clean, there's dead flies in the windows and multiple flies landing on us . While our waitress is good, the service was very slow. We waited over 40 mins to get our food and the to go order we got came out faster than our actual meals. The food was good but not worth a 45 min wait.

Food was amazing! Frog legs are terrific! Hanna was the best server we have ever had in the OBX over the last 31 years! Great atmosphere!

We LOVED the Froggy dog!! There's eight of us, with one being dairy free, and another vegetarian, and they had plenty of options for both of those restrictions. We had a lovely waitress named Emily, who was always attentive and very kind always. The restaurant itself was very nice, and the candle on the table was a nice touch, as well as the live music on the porch, made it a very enjoyable place to spend the evening. We come to OBX mostly doing the off season, so if we're here again this will definitely be a stop in our trip.

The food here was just okay. Portions were huge, but the flavor was mediocre at best. Our server was wonderful and very accommodating, so was the waiter that sat us when we first arrived. The issue I had was with either the shift leader, or the manager.... We were greeted when we came in by a friendly male employee. There were maybe 2-4 other tables of people eating the time we arrived, so the restaurant had a plethora of available tables (no reserved signs up to mark otherwise). The waiter tried sitting us in a table far off in the back corner. We asked for a booth near the window of their establishment. He happily obliged our request... that is when a woman interjected herself (I am assuming was the manager). She approached us with a scowl on her face. She only addressed the employee, and told him to sit us at the table in the back corner. She never acknowledged us, said hello, smiled, made eye contact, nor made any attempt at all to share a positive encounter. He explained that we requested a booth and walked us over to where we asked to sit. She again told him to sit us at a table. He in return sat us where we asked to sit and went in the back where the kitchen possibly was. I saw the woman following behind him as if she was upset he didn't listen to her and she was going to reprimand him. This is extremely rude and unprofessional. People are watching every little thing when they come in for an experience in your restaurant. Be personable, it would have been a split second and would have really gone a long way as far at first impressions. If there was an issue, that can be addressed discreetly, later on. The man was just doing his job, a lot better than she was to be quite frank. Especially when the restaurant was practically empty.

This place has been here for decades. All the locals come here. It kinda sucks that they close at 9pm during the off season.

We picked this place because it was super close to our condo. We walked into this place and it seemed nice and then they told us it would be a 10 minute wait. We then proceeded to wait more than 40 minutes for our table. We had enough and we asked them why it was taking so long and they had told us that someone else had went in our name. But once we got the food not one of us liked it. The flounder was too salty. They gave us a raw oyster. Water wasn't cold. Even the building itself wasn't great. It was so tightly packed together and every seat in another's face. Overall, I would never choose to eat here again

Terrible service! Food is not what is advertised! Do not waste your time coming here! A lot of nice restaurants in the area, this is not one!

Fun karaoke night, even for the 50+ crowd. Although most of the crowd was young. Strong drinks at the bar. Didn't try the food because the restaurant itself closed too early for our tastes.

Service was quick and the restaurant seemed clean. Friendly staff and classic environment. Food was great; I got scallops and my wife got the clam strips, both exactly what we were looking for.

Stayed for a week in Avon and this place was walking distance. We got take out twice from this place and it was delicious! Crab cakes are amazing! Mahi mahi and flounder dish was just as good! Our order was right both times! Great job!

The decorations/ambiance was wonderful! Our server was amazing with refills coming when needed, checking with our food when the appetizers came out and when and the main course came out, the owner I believe also came out to check out on our food as well! I had the chicken tenders and fries, as usual and they were WONDERFUL.

Tuna bites are great. Not sure why this place is only 3 stars. We loved it and will go back. Our server was friendly and helpful.
