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.
Amazing food and staff! They remember you as well. It's our family's favorite restaurant in the Outer Banks.
wonderful food , great environment and amazing service.
