Where to Eat
From chic seafood to casual carry-out, here’s where to grab your grub on Ocracoke.
From home-style Southern breakfasts to fine dining with international flair, Ocracoke is proud of our collection of unique and passionate chefs. You can eat indoors or out, on a screened porch tucked under the trees, or at the water’s edge. Carry-outs make mealtime quick and easy while you’re out and about in the village. And even our finest eateries offer their menu items to-go, so you can picnic on the beach or relax back at your own hotel or cottage. And don’t forget dessert! Ocracoke fig cake is the local delicacy to try, and ending the day with a stroll through the village to get ice cream just can’t be beat.
