15 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Buxton

“Excellent service, cocktails (the jalapeño blood orange margarita is amazing!), and food (lamb was sooo good!).“

“Rusty’s Surf and Turf was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The fried flounder was perfectly crispy, fresh, and full of flavor, and the steak was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and one of the best we’ve had in a long time. And the dessert? Completely to die for! The perfect ending to an amazing meal. What truly made the experience unforgettable though was Angela and Rusty themselves. They were some of the kindest, most welcoming people you could ever meet and made us feel right at home the entire time. You can truly tell how much love and care they put into both the food and the atmosphere. If you’re looking for amazing food, wonderful people, and an all-around fantastic dining experience, Rusty’s Surf and Turf is a must-visit. We will definitely be back!“

“Wonderful dinner and so delicious! We decided to have a bunch of different things from the appetizer menu and share. The blackened scallops were amazing!!!! The staff were very attentive and the food came out fast! Definitely will be back next time we vacation down here!“

“One of our go to's, when on Island time. From the Pizza, Calzone's, to the Manicotti w/garlic bread.. We're NEVER disappointed.“

“Authentic local dive bar with great, local seafood. This is as local as you can get and when we went on a Thursday, it was packed with locals. We had raw oysters that came from Avon the day before. Perfectly blackened tuna bites, and some of the best, most lightly breaded juicy, sweet fried shrimp. We even got 14 oysters instead of the dozen we ordered. Even with a packed bar and a line to get in the door, we got great service from our bartender who also waited on our table outside. Definitely a hidden gem. Don’t drive too fast or you’ll miss it and don’t be turned off by the exterior.“

“Lots of amazing choices on the menu and always great daily specials. The owners are a class act and the same goes for the staff!“

“This was our second time here but with more family and it did not disappoint. This was our last night of our vacation. Staff was friendly, our waitress was on it. Best service. Food and drinks were great. Live music was awesome. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful vacation.“

“Avon’s Froggy Dog is always a must when we’re in the OBX. The food is amazing, the service is fast and cheerful, and Liza makes the BEST Bloody Mary on the island. Go for the Sunday Brunch - you’ll be glad you did!“

“Fish tacos were outstanding!!(mahi)“

“We had their pizza one night and it was amazing. We returned the following night and ate in. Ceasar salad, Italian sub, fettuccine Alfredo, ham and cheese sub and fries were amazing too. Their prices are great too. My only complaint would be they close at 8:30 PM, but that is the normal for the area.“

“Fun and delicious. Second generation is doing it right! Be prepared for a wait but it’s worth a piping hot plate of seafood!!“

“I’ve been coming there every year since they were a smaller shop. This was the first year I was dissatisfied. My husband can’t stomach pickles, they put them on his sandwich after he asked them not to, the receipt showed the request. However when it came it had pickles. I sent it back, I know 100% they just took them off and gave it back within 3 minutes, so I complained and requested a new sandwich. They acted like they were mad at ME?! Excuse me, please do better. Sincerely a devoted customer, who will be back because the owner deserves another chance.“

“Food and service were great. Got to visit on our last day. The place is always busy. Beware of parking it is a small lot.“

“Walked in and it was very inviting. The guy working the cashier and serving was very kind and helpful. In all a very positive experience. Food came out fast and was amazing, one of the best burgers I’ve had in awhile. Definitely recommend!“

“We had a rather large family party (17)! We were served efficiently and with courtesy. In all of the dishes and people served, I did not hear one disgruntled diner. Our drinks were delicious, the food excellent. We were served chips and salsa upon being seated, which was refreshed as soon as the baskets were emptied. I would definitely recommend if Mexican food is up your alley!“
