Outer Banks Restaurants

Is it a bottle shop or a bar? It's both! Old Tom's is a place to pick up provisions like beer, wine, mead, cider and nonalcoholic drinks to go or to enjoy on site. It's also a place to gather with friends in a cozy, inviting and friendly atmosphere. The bar features live music, game nights and sports on TV, making it a favorite local hangout. In addition to drinks, Old Tom’s offers unique gifts, souvenirs and a charming space available for private events. In case you're wondering, it's named for the liveliest character in The Lost Colony.

McGrath's is an Irish-themed meat-eaters paradise. They do wing all the ways: bone in, boneless, grilled, with wet sauce or a dry rub. They have all the appetizers that go great with a Guinness, like Irish Nachos and Pretzels and Beer Cheese. Their burgers can be crafted classic American style or Irish style — for instance, the Irish Car Bomb with fried onions, Jameson barbecue sauce, a fried egg and Bailey's candied bacon. They also serve chicken burgers, hot dogs and even have plant-based options like the Beyond Burger and a black bean burger. Just try to resist their chips (fries)! McGrath's Burger Boxes make for easy take-out dinners. McGrath's has a full bar with beer, wine and spirits, including all of the Irish favorites.

Henry's is a family-owned and-operated restaurant and has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in a family-friendly atmosphere on the Outer Banks since 1989. Breakfast is available until 1 p.m., so if you get up late you won't miss out on delicious, home-style choices like hot cakes, seafood omelets and biscuits and gravy. There's something for everyone on the lunch and dinner menu. Choose from seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads or, if you're a young one, the kids' menu. Beer and wine are served. Henry's is open year round, but the hours change seasonally so call ahead if you're visiting in the off-season.
