History

Established in 1980.

The Tale of the Whale Restaurant is the legacy of one man, Don Bibey. Having spent his entire professional career in the food industry, Don traveled the world while in the United States Air Force. On his travels he accumulated many excellent recipes and ideas intended to enhance the dining experience. In 1980, Don and his wife Carole opened their own restaurant dedicated to a simple principle -- "To serve good food in ample portions with superior service in a comfortable setting. " Don and Carole chose a waterfront location in Nags Head as the perfect location for the pursuit of their dream. Tale of the Whale Restaurant operated successfully for over 20 years under Don's guidance and direction until his passing in 1997. Carole continues to uphold the tradition, along with their son Dan and his wife Kathy. We hope your dining experience here is a pleasant one and that you will allow us to become part of your family's tradition here on the Outer Banks.
