Back Porch Restaurant Reviews
Fabulous menu. Started with figs abs prosciutto, seared scallops with cilantro lime butter followed. The jasmine rice and vegetables were perfect. Key lime pie was the perfect final touch. All enjoyed from an open air table served by Julius. Awesome evening on Ocracoke Island. Thanks
Our first visit to this restaurant after years of coming to the island. Great food, nice selection, great service.

The Back Porch Restaurant is a delightful dining destination that offers a variety of delicious meal options. Standout dishes include the scallop and shrimp fettuccine, seared Scallops, cobia bites, Wagyu burger, and horseradish encrusted salmon. For vegetarians, tofu options are available. The restaurant has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, especially in the screened-in porch. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service. Recent reviews highlight the personable and attentive service from staff members. Located in Ocracoke, parking can be a challenge for visitors who are not staying at nearby lodges. Many guests return every year, finding that Back Porch never disappoints.
The restaurant offers a good selection of seafood and other dishes, including the excellent Wagyu burger with a toasted sesame bun. However, the consistency of the dishes can be hit and miss, with the shrimp and scallop pasta lacking a flavor punch. The service, while generally friendly, can be slower than expected, with drinks going empty and orders being incorrect. The pecan encrusted Drum and bacon wrapped scallops are excellent, and the desserts, particularly the sticky toffee pudding and the layered coconut cake, are sinful and delicious. The atmosphere is nice and friendly, and many guests find that Back Porch never disappoints.
