Off island....about 10min ride to Swansboro, but one of our favorite restaurants for the past 15 years or so. I always get the House Grouper....tough to beat.

Great little spot (in a strip mall) for Greek food. 10 minutes from the island. Cafeteria style (order at the counter and sit). Although it is not on the menu, ask for the Pastitsio. If they have it, it's great.

If you want basic seafood served in a no frills setting on the inter- coastal waterway, this is your place. A 15 minute drive east on the island.
