Chris Braswell and Linda Coats founded Steamers on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1994. Locals and visitors alike have made Steamers a part of their Outer Banks lifestyle and we love the fact that so many of our customers return year after year.

Is this a franchise?

This is perhaps one of our most frequently asked questions. Steamers Shellfish To Go is not a franchise.

We are a unique restaurant and catering business owned and operated by two people who are passionate about great food and the people we serve.

2011 marks our 17th season in Corolla, NC and every year some of our customers approach us about opening a Steamers in Washington DC, the Jersey Shore, Chicago, Florida… you fill in the blank. As time goes by we think more and more seriously about these requests.

We are a profitable company with proven recipes and a system that works. As we contemplate the possibility of expanding the business, we look forward to hearing from you, your experience, and your thoughts on the possibility of partnering with us.

We welcome your email and ask that you introduce yourself on your next visit. We look forward to speaking with you!

—Chris & Linda
