“Super fast service, very friendly staff, and delicious ice cream!”

“The Reuben and Club were delicious! We’ll be back!”

“Our wait to get a table was a long one as the place was packed… and it was totally worth it! We’ve been staying on Hatteras Island for about a dozen years and we’ve hit a lot of local restaurants in search of excellent seafood. Dinky’s tops the chart. Genuinely fantastic food AND staff. I have a feeling this will be an annual stop from here on out.”

“The Dancing Turtle is always one of my top must-do’s whenever I’m in Hatteras. The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming—it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the local vibe. Their coffee is consistently excellent, and the staff is always friendly and inviting. Whether you’re starting your day or just taking a break, this place is a gem. Can’t wait to visit again on my next trip down!”

“Great salads, fantastic pizza (we got the Hawaiian - the bacon and hot honey combo made it extra delicous), wonderful, friendly service and a really pretty place. Loved the music and the art on the walls. A must place to eat in Hatteras.”

“We love Avon Seafood in Hatteras! Every year we buy our fresh seafood from here to grill on the beach or steam our own pot. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. The seafood is amazing.”

“Had the best evening with Hatteras Sol for dinner. The Oysters Rockefeller is unique and delicious. The food overall is exceptional, the staff are warm, friendly, and inviting, and this is an excellent place to enjoy the sunset!”

“Friendly staff, good food. Fair prices. I would go back and probably enjoy it every time. We tried to go for dinner because Google and the website said they were open. When we arrived they were closed. Traveling by some other nights, it was still closed. Maybe the offseason messes with the hours of operation.”

“My words will not do this place justice. This place is a must-go on Hatteras Island. Trust me, you will be back. Owners Joel and Jess are some fantastic people and they have a great spot in Hatteras Landing. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a drink, some food and fun! Love this place and the people that run it very much!”

“The food was delicious and the drinks were good. We had clam chowder that had a lot of flavor and clams, coyote oysters, the fresh catch tuna as an appetizer and the tuna appetizer on menu. These were great. The crab mac and cheese was not good, it had very little seasoning but it had a good amount of crab.”

“I absolutely fell in love with this place! It’s cozy and unique. The coffee is great and the employees are super nice! They also let us bring our corgi in to hang out. Thank you all so much for this gem 💕👽”

“The only way you can go wrong here is by not stopping by and buying one of the best treats on the island. We love this place. It is a must for us when we are on vacation in Hatteras. The owner is the sweetest and its a bonus to spend sometime with her.”

“when my now husband and i discussed marriage, i had already known the place i wanted to get married was the Inn on Pamlico Sound. he asked me to marry him Memorial Day weekend 2024, and we booked them as our venue the next weekend. Steve and Meredith and their team remained in constant communication with us regarding every detail, question we had, vendor choices, etc. the dinner options were so hard to choose from but we ultimately decided on the taco bar - because, tacos, duh! we had the chipotle chicken, ground beef, and blackened catch of the day which ended up being mahi mahi. i’ve never been so hype to eat tacos in my life, everything was amazing! and then the home made tortilla chips and salsa just added icing to the cake! everything was delicious and was served hot and ready as our guests were seated - it wasn’t sitting in warming bins just waiting for the ceremony to be over. not only is the venue itself beautiful and stands out, the food and staff made our experience and our guests’ experience truly unforgettable. my husband and i currently live on hatteras island and we will definitely be doing our anniversary dinners at Cafe Pamlico, and i’m already looking forward to it!!! thank you Steve, Meredith, and all staff involved in our day! you all worked your tails off to make everything come together and we so appreciate yall!”

“Great place! We go there every time we come to the OBX, and we stay in Rodanthe. We especially love the Thursday evening dinners!”

“top quality food from top quality people! so excited every year to go here”
