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.
Absolutely superb. Who ever is running this kitchen knows the food and the people helping. From plating to seasoning/cooking everything was done perfectly.
I would put their food up against just about anyone on the east coast. Key west food has nothing on this kitchen. Bravo chef and kitchen staff.

This quaint little place was recommended by our charter boat captain for dinner. Don't let the name of the restaurant fool you. This place is anything but 'dinky'. Fantastic service, low key and quaint with high quality food and atmosphere. Great views from the windows overlooking the marinas and sunset. Food was fantastic!
