Restaurants near Hatteras

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“We took the early morning Ocracoke Ferry to Hatteras in search of a mom-and-pop coffee fix and stumbled upon this hidden gem…….. With a great selection of tasty tid -bits, outstanding personal service, and broad spectrum of coffee choice, The Dancing Turtle did not disappoint! An absolute pleasure to visit. As an added “wow” they have super awesome themed merchandise to scoop up. ….as a gift I nabbed a T-shirt for Tanya, of Tanya’s Turtle Project, an organization who is also dedicated to helping turtles (in Northern Virginia)!! This personable spot has now been entered into our “Must Stop” list every time we ride by! 🏍️”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We were recommended by Grant over at Buxton Seafood & because we spent $50 on seafood over there we got a free scoop at Chilly Hanks. I think they learned quickly it’s easy to spend 50 bucks on seafood and even easier to sell ice cream to tourists in July even without the coupon so we didn’t get another one when we went back to Buxton Seafood the next day but that’s okay because our experience at Chilly Hanks was amazing free scoop or not. My sister in law and I are both gluten free (she’s celiac and very sensitive!) so the “gluten free waffle cone” option seemed too good to be true and we had to try. Somewhere between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a graham cracker, the cone was truly something special - even my not gluten free husband loved it - and we believe they are homemade! Even if you aren’t gluten free or dairy free (or have a peanut allergy - we noticed they were peanut free though they have other nuts as options for toppings and in their flavors!) you have to check out CH.”

“The Subs are very good Cool Atmosphere We really enjoyed it”

“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.”

“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 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!”

“Best pizza, hands down! “Beach Pie” was amazing, the crust was crispy and perfect, the sauce really good. Customer service, excellent. The brownies❤️Can’t wait to try another pizza, margharita!”

“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!”

“Really enjoyed our dinner here. All staff were super friendly and welcoming. Food was fantastic and so were the drinks.”

“LOVE this dive bar! Small place with a great selection of seafood and drinks! Lives the atmosphere! All the locals make you feel welcome! Cool decor and clean. The servers/bar tenders are great!
The food was delicious, especially the fries oysters! Would highly recommend this place! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town!”
