We have been here on the Outer Banks for nearly a decade and have been able to enjoy most of the local fare from Corolla to Manteo to Ocracoke. Everything from local sandwich shops and bakeries to fine dining. Here are a few of our favorites:

An OBX Favorite - best fish tacos around! And let's not forget Mama's Hawaiian Pork Plate. Get there early - the wait to get in can get long, but is well worth the wait.

Delicious finer dining fare! The menu is has a variety of local favorites and the wine selection is vast. The restaurant is located across the street from the oceanfront. Our favorite spot to eat is on the second floor in front of the window with a view of the ocean. Very romantic!

This is a fun little town but stay away on Saturdays due to check in traffic. Start at Aqua and walk the boardwalk all the way to The Blue Point Restaurant. Make an afternoon/evening out of it by stopping at every restaurant along the way and get an appetizer and/or drink. There are shops to check out along the way. Also, Duck has many other restaurants and quaint shopping spots, other than the boardwalk.
