Awesome Mexi-american food and good beer and cocktails. They do it really well. Short drive or 1 mile short bike ride. To stay off the highway on the bikes, turn south onto Johnston Lane (1 lane residential road); follow to end and cut through small commercial center parking lot. This is on the corner of Sand Dune Drive and US158. You can also easily drive.

On the beach road, just south of Byrd St. For biking, cross US 158 and rather than riding on the beach road, take a left on Lindberg which has little traffic. Caribbean and asian geared cuisine, but traditional seafood, burgers and big fresh salads too (try the Journey’s End dressing). We like to sit upstairs in the “Tsunami Bar” or on top deck for chill ocean views. Live music early a couple nights/week on top deck.

Food and Drink Driveable

There are many more good ones, but we can attest to these..
About 6 miles south in Kill Devil Hills, a little past the Wright Brother’s Memorial. Our favorite brew-pub. Excellent food and beer made on-site (full spectrum). Eat inside or in large backyard. Backyard is fully fenced and has playground, cornhole and live music. Also, this is a later night music venue that gets great bands.
