Restaurants near Cape Carteret

“Always on point! I have tried pretty much the whole menu and everything is great! Clean, Classy and this place has an amazing family feel!”

“Stopped by Angie’s Lighthouse Cafe and had a great experience. We were greeted right away and able to order quickly. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal, which made the visit even better. The food was solid—classic diner fare done well—but prices were a little on the high side for what you get. That said, the overall vibe is exactly what you want from a local spot: cozy, welcoming, and clearly a favorite among regulars (a lot of familiar faces came through while we were there). Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and want a relaxed, homey meal.”

“Had a very good meal and my server was Hayden. She was so personal, courteous, and competent. I liked the way she checked in with me to inform me about my meal preparation and how attentive she was once she served my meal. Thank you, Hayden.”

“We ordered “The Clamshell” with the clams and mussels mix and followed the instructions as printed. Everything was absolutely perfectly prepared and over the top delicious. We used the entire seasoning cup provided and steamed it in Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Ale and it came out great. The potatoes sopped up the broth and it was yummy. We didn’t need the supplied cocktail sauce or butter. Everything was so flavorful. We highly recommend!!”

The store vibe is welcoming, quaint and so perfectly paired with a waterfront downtown area. You can sit inside to eat or sit outside on their Picnic tables to enjoy the water views! Customer service was top notch. Highly recommend!! You won’t be disappointed!”
