Grab the melted butter and lobster bib — North Carolina-based Outer Banks Boil Company — a takeout and catering franchise specializing in seafood boils, is serving customers in Virginia Beach, according to a press release.

Long-time friends and business partners, Kyle Vrhovac, Parker Byrd and Evan Verbeek who own the Outer Banks Boil in Charlottesville, began serve up their seafood last week at 1253 Nimmo Pkwy, Suite 113 in Virginia Beach

"Kyle and I first stumbled across an Outer Banks Boil Company when we were searching for rental homes in the Outer Banks and my whole life I have been brought up around the making of seafood boils. Being able to be our own bosses while serving a community we resonate with is a lot of work but a whole lot of fun is involved too," Byrd said in the release.

The restaurant offers take-out service and catering featuring seafood boils that may include jumbo shrimp, spicy andouille sausage, red bliss potatoes, snow crab legs, scallops and lobster tails in addition to local favorites depending on store location. For non-seafood fans, Outer Banks Boil offers pulled pork barbecue, coleslaw, cornbread muffins and key lime pie for dessert.

Founded in 2012, and franchising since the start of 2020, the Outer Banks Boil Company has stores located in North Carolina, Maryland, and Virginia, with additional locations in various stages of development.
