Restaurants near Hatteras

“Best Italian sub I’ve ever had. Thanks!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“We were not happy about the 2hr wait, but with the winds coming off the water, it was actually a pleasant evening. Dinner turned out to be amazing. Our server, Julia was upbeat and set the pace with her suggestions on the menu. She did not disappoint. The Rockefeller twist was delish, and the steamed shrimp out of this world. Whatever you do try the specials! The yellowfin tuna was fresh and light and so delicious. Crème brule and chocolate flourless cake ended the evening. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but it was WORTH the wait. We would do it again. If you’re in Hatteras, it’s a must visit.”

“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.”

“Have been to Pamlico Deli multiple times now. I highly recommend! Wine tasting, wine pairing or just dropping in for delicious food…all amazing! And the best service ever!”

“The views from the outdoor seating area are stunning and the food and drinks are incredible! But, what really made it perfect to dine here for our 10th Anniversary was having Trey as our server. He's such a genuinely kind person and took excellent care of us!”

“The food wasn’t the only thing that was great! The prices were awesome and so was the service! Our first time here but certainly not the last! This will be our go to place every year!”

“The club wrap and Italian sub were amazing!”

“This place is the best kept secret on the OBX. Food is stellar, vibe is great, service is excellent. This is how you run an excellent restaurant. Great food, great people, and great experience.”

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

“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!”
