8 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.“

“Had the best evening with Hatteras Sol for dinner. The Oysters Rockefeller is unique and delicious. The food overall is exceptional, the staff are warm, friendly, and inviting, and this is an excellent place to enjoy the sunset!“

“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!“

“Excellent service, cocktails (the jalapeño blood orange margarita is amazing!), and food (lamb was sooo good!).“

“excellent food Great customer service amazing water front view nice and polite staff“

“Best crab cakes ever, hot and very tasty. Shrimp, delicious. Great coleslaw, hush puppies and decent fries. I thoughtthe scallops may be from another type fish. Grain was wrong, but very tasty. Overall a good stop. Reasonable pricing. It's a bar, so it is noisy.However the service was good.“
