We're proud to partner with the community in designing housing for the dedicated teachers who shape our future. Their commitment to educating our children often means making personal sacrifices, and we're honored to contribute to a solution that supports them.

Excited to see it all coming together

I am thrilled to announce our plans to open
Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen, a restaurant situated within the stunning new building at the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center.

Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen will blend a traditional fish shack with modern culinary influences and will showcase both breakfast as well as an all-day menu. Featuring counter service and a full bar, guests can enjoy our delicious offerings while soaking in waterfront views of the world-renowned Oregon Inlet Fishing Center. Whether you prefer takeaway, indoor or outdoor dining, guests can immerse themselves in the spectacle of the top-notch charter fleet unloading their daily catches.

The new establishment will boast a private room and deck, affording us the opportunity to host an array of on-site events. This space can accommodate events such as wedding receptions, corporate gatherings, and unique events like pop-up dinners. Sea Chef Dockside Kitchen will remain dedicated to its roots, offering catering services throughout the Outer Banks.

This endeavor marks the realization of a dream for me, especially the privilege of operating a restaurant alongside my father and James Beard Award-winning chef, Jeff Buben. Together, our mission is to curate a menu that champions our commercial fishing community while delivering an unforgettable experience. We eagerly anticipate extending our warm hospitality to all this spring and look forward to sharing more details soon.

Our favorite kind of design are those that give a nod to the past while keeping step with the current contemporary times. Good design allows the form to follow the function.
