50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Manteo

“BBQ so flavorful, you don't even need sauce! Very friendly staff, quick service with plentiful portions. My only mistake is not visiting here sooner.“

“Man, I love this place, the mostrito, the pollo a la brasa, any of the especials….agua fresca….everything is so good“

“My daughter and I ate there and the food was great! Our server, Haley, I hope I spelled her name right, was so nice. We love everything about Darrell's and will be back on our next visit.“

“Poor Richard’s never disappoints—great food, chill atmosphere, and the best people. Their daily specials always hit the spot, and you can’t go wrong with a sandwich and a bowl of soup. Plus, the bartender is awesome—super friendly and always makes you feel right at home. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You’ll be glad you did!“

“We visited the OBX and stayed in Manteo in an AirBnB (with a dog), so we did takeout most of the time and just ate it at the house. Top China came up as being near us, so we looked at the reviews and were a bit wary. We tried to order from there on Sunday night, but they were closed. They were closed also on Monday and finally, we found them open on Tuesday. The food was much better than we expected because we were judging from the lunch menu pic on Google, which didn't seem to have very much. Their actual menu is much more extensive. The restaurant is a hole in the wall and is family run. You can see the parents cooking in the kitchen and the daughters run the register. There was no AC when we went and the front door was propped open. I don't know if this was because the AC wasn't working or if the business was trying to save money. In any case, most customers appeared to be ordering for take away. I would order from this restaurant again.“

“This is my go to place everytime I visit Manteo. Been 8 times and never had a bad meal! Highly recommend.“

“Ortega'z - what a GREAT gem! Heard about this restaurant on Guys Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives; and boy, it not disappoint! The pulled pork nachos appetizer was absolutely HUGE and AMAZING! YES, all caps is necessary. We also ordered two entrees - fish tacos and also Buffalo chicken tacos. Both came with 3 tacos, and rice and beans. Everything was so delicious and the portion sizes were great! Great prices for the amount of food you receive. Oh, and the service was great also! Will be returning very soon!“

“The most amazing friendliest fast service! So impressed“

“Our dining experience was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was flawless—attentive without being overbearing. Both of our entrées were perfectly prepared and full of flavor, clearly made with care and attention to detail. This restaurant strikes the perfect balance of comfort and quality, and we look forward to returning.“

“Last night was our last night here and the wife and I decided to give this a try. I can’t say enough good about the service (Jade was awesome), food was delicious (scallops were on point), and the location was perfect with a wonderfulview. (note the picture).“

“My review is for the humanity the owner has shown. I was reading my latest Readers Digest when an acknowledgement was submitted about how the owner Kevin had driven 6 hours one way to deliver what was basically an elders last meal, because it was her last wish…to have a pork tenderloin meal from this establishment. If some day I travel SE from Indiana and anywhere near I will definitely stop to support. Well done my man.“

“Excellent service, delicious food, generous portions, and reasonable prices.“

“We returned to the Outer Banks last week after a 20 year hiatus, remembering Tortuga's Lie as one of our favorite places to eat. We ate there on the second night of our stay and no one in the family was disappointed. I had the grilled salmon salad special and coming from a tough critic, it was DELICIOUS and did not disappoint! Everyone enjoyed their meal and the "vibe" was just the same as we remembered. We can't wait to visit again.“

“Just had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. There were 6 adults and 2 children in our party. The appetizers were fantastic and the entrees were delicious and beautifully plated. Live music was an added bonus! Very happy to have found The Saltbox Cafe!“

“We absolutely love the upper deck! It has amazing views, so dog friendly and the food/drinks are amazing! We love the orange crush it’s the best drink! This is a favorite for us!“

“Tremendous on all accounts!… fantastic cocktails, delicious food, superior service, and an amazing view. I have never enjoyed waiting for a table more!…sitting outside under the gazebo on the deck that stretches into the sound, wonderful outside bar (try the Chocolate Martini!), and Yacht Rock over the speakers. We could have stayed out there all night and been content. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t say how great the food was inside, and the service was impeccable. (Richard was our waiter, and he is a GEM! Excellent service like he extended to our group is a lost art.) Can’t wait to see you again next year!“

Highly recommend!“

“The sportsbar portion of Captain George's restaurant. Full menu available, including the seafood buffet. TV'S all around, even in the booths. Hard not to find the game or event you're looking for. It's loud, but that's because folks are eating, drinking, and having a good time. They do have a bar food menu that's pretty good, and always drink specials. Off season it's usually full of locals there to hang out and catch the game.“

“Was in on the night of 10/4/25. Lover the decor, the food was excellent!! And the waitress was excellent!! Makes me want to come back again when I make it this way in the future!!“
