Islander Flags is a great place to pick up a unique gift or souvenir during your trip to the Outer Banks. Established in 1987, Islander Flags is a full service flag store that has served locals and tourists alike for over 20 years. The store is a family owned and run business; you can always count on great service when you walk in to the store!

The store offers several styles of flags. You can pick up a decorative house or garden flag to have a piece of the Outer Banks in your own home or garden. You can choose between beach themed flags, collegiate flags, dog or cat flags, or bird flags. The store also makes feather flags. These flags are long and tall and shaped like a bird feather. You can pick seasonal designs, holiday designs, patriotic designs, and pirate designs for your feather flag. 

The store also makes custom flags. You can bring in a photo and the store will customize it to fit a flag. Islander Flags then custom makes your flag. It is not a picture printed on a flag, but a piece by piece handmade flag designed by the store itself. In fact, you can pick from a number of Islander handmade flags to commemorate your OBX experience. Though pricey, the work is beautiful and worth the investment. 

The store also carries flag poles if you need something to hang your flag on. Why not come pick up a piece of real OBX art to bring home and fly proudly in your own yard? Between great service and beautiful work, you really can’t go wrong at Islander Flags.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for 25! years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 25 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
