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.”

“We love Fuzzy Peach! This location is the cleanest we have ever been in. You can tell that the owners take pride in their investment. My husband and I come here for our sweet treats often! They even have a divider to put in your cup should you want to try other flavors with your OG! Just ask for one.
Thanks FP Peeps! 🍧😋 See ya soon.”

The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, and the employees are always friendly and attentive. It’s one of those local spots that makes you feel happy to support. Highly recommend!”

“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!!”
