Question

Do you have any restaurant recommendations?

Answer

For Breakfast: The Outer Banks is where Duck Donuts all began! Waveriders has great bagels and coffee. Cahoon's Market offers great breakfast/lunch sandwiches to go from their back deli counter. Morning View, Front Porch Cafe and Charis are great casual coffeehouses. For Lunch/Dinner: The Bonzer Shack in Kill Devil Hills is a favorite for a casual bite with a beachy vibe. Sam and Omie's is one of the first restaurants in the Outer Banks and is great any time of day. Steamers serves amazing seafood and to-go boil pots! Mulligans has a fun tiki bar on the top deck. Tortugas Lie is another popular lunch/dinner spot for fresh local seafood. Poor Richard’s in Manteo serves amazing sandwiches right on the water. It’s All Gravy is a great spot for pasta or subs. For Ice Cream: Surfin’ Spoon is a local fave for soft serve...stuff a dollar bill in the ceiling and they’ll donate it to a local autism foundation. And you can’t go wrong with Fat Boyz for all kinds of ice cream dishes!
