What Kay Dom dislikes about Pop's Raw Bar Restaurant:
Drove over 30 minutes to get oysters crab here. Arrived around 5:30 on Tuesday, they opened at 4. Our group sat out front got settled in.

Pop's is an excellent dining spot. The food is amazing, and the service is very attentive. It's a longstanding establishment on Hatteras Island that has truly stood the test of time.

This cozy little spot is perfect for wonderful seafood. We dropped by after spending a morning at the beach. We shared a blackened trigger fish platter, which included some lovely pieces of fish, fries, coleslaw, and hush puppies. We also ordered half a pound of shrimp and some ice-cold beer. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's a nice restaurant with friendly staff.

I visited the restaurant specifically for the raw oysters, and they did not disappoint; they were excellent when paired with the horseradish sauce. However, the rest of the dishes were quite greasy, so I was grateful to have the oysters as a highlight of my meal. The place was bustling and is clearly a favorite among locals.
