The Outer Banks does not have a shortage of restaurants. For better or worse, some of the chain restaurants have begun to make their way to the coast. Outback Steakhouse, Hooters and Appleby's now call Nags Head home. For those who do not like taking risks when eating, these restaurants are for you. Don't feel guilty, these mainstays are reliable and offer good food at a reasonable price.
For those who come to the Outer Banks to escape the same old scene, you will be in heaven when it comes to choosing restaurants. Rodanthe is an extremely small village and there are few restaurants in the village itself. We are fortunate that Lisa's Pizzeria is within view of Conscience Point and is an excellent emergency pizza stop on your first night in town. A few minutes south of Conscience Point is the Down Under restaurant. This little restaurant has some excellent steaks and chicken, but is pretty pricey. In our opinion, you'd be better off heading up to Outback Steakhouse, but for those evenings when you can't handle the thought of getting back in the car, the Down Under will do just fine. For those interested in the delicious tradition of soft serve treats on the Outer Banks, a Dairy Queen opened up in 2006 just a mile or so south of Conscience Point. Unfortunately for us, the ice cream haven appears to only be open during the busy period (May - September).
Other than that, you are probably going to have to drive for a few miles. Don't be upset about having to drive a little ways. Believe us, we do not want a bunch of restaurants in Rodanthe. Indeed, that is the beauty of Conscience Point. We do not have to deal with the awful traffic that clogs the northern beaches. While you will have to deal with the congestion when you go out to eat, you will at least be able to escape back to the seclusion of Conscience Point.
As for the restaurants in the northern beaches, our all time favorite family restaurant Miller's Restaurant. There are two Miller's restaurants, but we recommend the soundfront restaurant in South Nags Head. They serve hash browns that are the best we've ever tasted (because they taste like donut holes) and their seafood is impeccable. Every trip requires at least one visit to Miller's. Another longtime favorite is the New York Pizza Pub located near the border of Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills. For the low price, pizza and italian food just doesn't get any better than this.
In short, there are literally hundreds of restaurants to choose from. Upon booking Conscience Point, you will receive a packet of information that should contain a list of restaurants. If not, please contact us and we will make sure to have our management company send you a list immediately. Bon appetite!
