Cajun-style seafood boils, shrimp to crawfish, served straight from the bag in Corolla
Outer Banks Boil Company Corolla serves the seafood boil format that's spread along the Atlantic coast in recent years: shrimp, crab, crawfish, corn, and potatoes simmered together with Cajun-leaning seasoning and served in a bag rather than on a plate. It's a hands-on, bib-on kind of dinner — messy in the best way, and built for a group that just came off the beach and doesn't want to sit through a formal meal.
The restaurant sits on Sunset Blvd in Corolla, at a moderate $$ price point — an easy stop for a family dinner without turning the night into an event. It's a fitting concept for this stretch of the Outer Banks, where seafood is genuinely local and the paved road itself only runs so far north before Corolla gives way to the 4x4-only beaches beyond.
Because it's a food-forward, casual concept, don't expect white tablecloths — expect trays, wet wipes, and a menu built around the boil itself along with the usual sides that round out a seafood-boil spot. Call ahead if you're bringing a bigger group, and check the website for current hours before you make the drive, since seasonal restaurants on this stretch of the Outer Banks often adjust their schedule between peak season and the shoulder months.

Used OBBCC for our welcome party this past thursday at the pine island lodge. From the beginning of planning a year ago, they stayed in constant contact and were quick to respond! The experience at the party was 10/10. We had 80+ guests and every single person loved the service, taste and experience in general! Super professional and needed very little from us. Such a blast. Thanks for all the hard work!

Amazing food and service! Had this for our very small personal wedding, 20 people. So much food!! Everyone raved! And they cleaned up, which was just as amazing. We had to do nothing but enjoy. Our server was so friendly. Would definitely have this again and again when we go back on vacation!

Delivered to the 4x4 beach for a birthday celebration for a group of 14. Nat arrived, set up, cooked, served and cleaned up so efficiently! We didn’t do anything but enjoy ourselves. Would definitely recommend and do again! So easy to book, Michaela was quick to respond with questions, especially as we had dietary restrictions we had to address.

Whenever we visit OBX we make plans to grab a boil pot, and the Outer Banks Boil Company never disappoints! We get crab for two and add an extra pound of crab which, with everything else, is enough for a great dinner plus enough leftovers for lunch the following day. High quality crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. And don’t forget the corn bread muffins!

Zander did a great job with our seafood boil! He was kind, informative and prompt. We had a great time and will do it again next year!
