We could not be happier that we booked Steamers to cater our wedding in the Outer Banks! We had 3 nights catered ... Thursday (Halloween), Friday (Rehearsal Dinner), and Saturday (Wedding) - and we used Steamers for all 3.
We met Chris @ the Wedding Expo in January on 2019 and immediately knew we had to work with him. He worked with us all year to plan out 3 totally different nights and making the process so easy for us. We listened to his suggestions and he had fantastic advice about how to keep the party in the right locations of the venue (we got married at The Black Stallion), create the best flow, and keep everyone happy. He had worked at the venue many times and also with all our other vendors.
The food was incredible. Everyone kept commenting about it all weekend! Thursday night we did the "Welcome Party" for Halloween. Friday night we did the "Shrimp and Crab Feast" - which was a HUGE hit. Saturday we did gourmet stations. All of the food was different, and delicious!
Steamers runs an incredibly organized and professional operation and every employee is top notch. From Chris to the servers, bartenders, and other staff - we enjoyed being around everyone! Chris made sure to approach us at each event, make sure we were happy & fed and made sure everything was perfect.
I would recommend them a million times over!

We hit a home run with Steamers. Chris guided us through the nuances of the reception and specifically the cocktail party-style reception we wanted. We felt like we were in expert hands and we absolutely were. Our guests raved about service and food and because we actually ate, we can attest to the deliciousness Steamers delivered. The chef sent us apps while we were taking pics and also made sure my gluten free groom had options throughout the night. The staff was super attentive and they came in and out so seamlessly, even during the Nor'easter we were in. That being said, they paused for about 20 minutes while we had our ceremony inside, and got right back into presenting food immediately without missing a beat. I would say to any bride and groom looking for amazing food and service within Steamers service area, they are the best of the best. More...

From the start, my husband and I knew that Steamers was our first choice for caterer. Luckily, I have worked with Chris before and knew his high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Not only that, I simply cannot put into words how deliciously amazing his food was. From appetizers to salads to our main course. And I’m not the only one that thinks that... we got married a couple months ago and just last week another one of our guests commented on how delicious our meal was. Chris and his staff went above and beyond for us- and we could not be more grateful. I wish everyone in the wedding planning process could book Steamers because it was easily the best part of our wedding. Thank you Chris! More...

Lunch. Great view and server. Food delicious. I had clam chowder and lobster/shrimp with toast. My husband had a sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. He graciously let me try one--my only regret is that I didn't get an order for myself. Would definitely go back to Steamers. More...

After an interesting travel situation, our arrival to the OBX was much later than anticipated. Steamers was an amazing, late night dining experience. Charming decor! Friendly staff! Divine hush puppies & butter with a hint of honey! But the main entrees were superb!!! We will be back! Our late night, end of season expectations were blown out of the water! More...

Wonderfully fresh and hot local seafood that anybody would die for. Hush puppies that top the chart. Love your trigger fish and chips. My hubby loved the pork belly burger. The seafood bisque is so fresh and loaded with Outer Banks goodness thank you for the treat! Thank you Linda and Chris for another wonderful dining experience. PS The tuxedo cake topped it off lovely. Rest well! It’s almost fall. More...

The food was amazing and service was impeccable! We had steamer pots, build-your-own tacos (fish, chicken, bbq pork), and chicken fingers and Mac and cheese. Plus there were salads and sides galore. Everyone was so happy and it was perfect. More...

We live in Boston, the bride is from Maryland, and we have family in North Carolina. Needless to say, we are pretty savvy and opinionated about our seafood and BBQ.
We chose Steamer's after doing a free tasting with Chris when we booked a trip to OBX, and we were literally blown away by the quality. Chris brought us plate after plate of all that Steamer's could do... honestly it was some of, if not the best, seafood and BBQ that we'd ever had. Chris is incredibly passionate about his craft -- he takes pride in what he does and exudes his love of producing quality food and an experience for his customers. While we chose an out-of-the-box buffet option, Chris has a ton of creative ideas and flexibility to work with you on what you want to do. Chris also personally attends and manages every catering event he books. It was a no-brainer, no other caterer could possibly stack-up.
The food was incredible - we did a buffet, which worked well because we had a small wedding of 75. Chris personally served us at our table and pretty sure he said "Make sure you eat ALL of it!" Everything was on time and flowed flawlessly.
Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. We had many guests that visited Steamers' restaurant multiple times throughout our week at OBX. We ourselves ate there four times. We cannot recommend them enough and will be forever customers.

If i ever plan an event in the outer banks again, you can bet I’ll be calling Chris and his team for food. Every person i spoke to had nothing but rave reviews for every part of our meal, from the appetizers to the very end. I could go on about the seafood boil for days but the thing I’ve gotten the most compliments on was the seafood bisque tasting cups and hush puppies. People LOVED them!! Chris and his team went above and beyond in so many way and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had them at our wedding More...

The Steamers team went above and beyond for our wedding festivities and we couldn't have been happier! We hired them for our rehearsal dinner/welcome party and our wedding, and I wish we could have hired them for the whole week!
Chris absolutely killed it in the kitchen, the food was incredible (we barely had any leftovers!), and his team's service was out of this world.
We had a few guests with dietary restrictions and Chris went out of his way to prepare special dishes for them, separately from the rest of the food. It made our guests feel well taken care of and put us at ease, it's those little extras that really go a long way!
I have to give a special shout out to his assistant, Yani, who was exceptional - she went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed at all times. During cocktail hour, we were busy taking pictures obviously, so I asked for a plate of apps - she came all the way down to the beach in 30 mph winds to bring us crabcakes! She treated the entire wedding party with amazing attention!
Thanks again, Steamers, can't wait to come back to OBX and see you all again!

our experience with the Steamers team and Chris was AMAZING. Chris did such an amazing job making the menu work for us, made changes to accommodate me the picky Groom haha and more importantly made my now wife VERY HAPPY.
The team made us feel like VIPs, better yet like friends, every time we came to visit or try some food. I can't recommend them more, they are a team you will not regret going with. They work with your budget and make you feel like your getting twice the amount of options then any other place, and the quality of the food was beyond our expectations.
One last thing, it might be small but to me it was such a big deal. They made sure to get us a taste of everything the night of the wedding. Whether it was having a plate of appatizers for us to try ready for grabbing during photos or after the cerimony, or setting aside one of each thing to insure we got what we wanted for dinner. Plus Chris and my wife surprised me with my own personal meal.
Steamers is one of the reasons our wedding was so truly an amazing experience. Please go and try it for your self. You will not only have an amazing time on one of the most important nights of your life , but you will also gain friends life long friends.
