Question: Which Outer Banks restaurant was opened in 1937 by a local fisherman to serve breakfast to fellow fishermen, and is still famous today for its “Omie-lettes”?
Answer: Sam & Omie’s in Nags Head. Capt. Sambo Tillet originally opened it as Sambo’s in 1937, later adding his son Omie’s name. Exuding a beachy atmosphere and seaside flavors for more than 85 years, it remains one of the oldest continuously operating restaurants on the Outer Banks, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with local fish and classic coastal fare.
