If you look through all the Outer Banks restaurants in this category, you'll see that they go well beyond your typical sandwich shops. That's because many restaurants with much more varied menus also often include sandwiches, burger and such for diners who want something easier for dinner but who also want to be with the rest of their crew who are looking for a bigger meal. And, truth be told, some of the sandwich-type of offerings are pretty gourmet fare! But, you'll also see that this category includes the real Outer Banks burger, dog and sandwich joints, many of which have been serving hungry diners for many years. They're simple, laid back, anything but fancy...and turn out some great grub. They're the places you can walk in with your bathing suit and cover up, and no one's going to look at you funny or worry about the sand on your feel. Many of the restaurants in this section round out their menus with salads, soups and other sides, and they will also sometimes have daily specials that cross over into more substantial eats. At a lot of these Outer Banks restaurants, you can sit outside and enjoy that dog under the sun.
