Whether you’re craving fresh seafood or comfort food after a long beach day, there’s something for everyone. Restaurants in Duck often serve incredible fresh catches, while Corolla has casual spots that are perfect for family dinners.

Don’t skip local specialties like shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and oysters. Many Outer Banks restaurants pride themselves on sourcing locally, which makes the meals even more special. For families with kids, plenty of spots offer outdoor seating where children can play nearby while adults enjoy a glass of wine or craft beer.
