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.“

“First of all let me start by saying my husband and I traveled a long way to outer banks, (bucket list item), camping at a koa in camp Hatteras. Yes we are tourists, yes that brings revenue to your business. Did we know where we were going, no we did not! We are from Georgia took us 15 hrs to get to our campsite, due to flat tire, doesn’t really matter but our last night here we wanted to have a nice seafood dinner, went to your so called family restaurant, waitress was great food was good however all we heard from owner/manager/bartender was complaints about tourists driving how hard it was for him to get to work and damnwhy don’t they pull off the road. Guess what we are the people that pay your bills remember what you say can be heard. First time at outer banks probably last time and will never visit you again!!!“

“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!“

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