6 Best Seafood Restaurants near Hatteras

“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.“

“This was our first visit to Sonny's and we made a return trip later in the week. Recommended by locals at the marina and backed up by other good reviews. We stopped for lunch due to limited options on a Monday but don't let that keep you, food was good, prices were reasonable and staff was friendly. Lunch menu was no extensive but dinner menu had more options. Not sure if this is a seasonal choice but there was still something for everyone.“

“The Breakwater is a must visit on all our trips to Hatteras! The food is excellent, service top-notch, and the view the absolute best of any restaurant in Hatteras! It's good fun to sit on the deck listening to live music and watching the comings and goings of Hatteras Harbor. Don't miss this great spot!“
