Where to Eat on the Outer Banks in February

"Who's open?" When it comes restaurants, we all ask this question in the winter months on the Outer Banks. Maybe it's a throwback to the old days, when literally every restaurant closed (even McDonald's), and the only place to get a meal was Seamark grocery store. But times have changed. These days there are hundreds of restaurants on the Outer Banks, and a lot of them do close in the winter. But so many stay open that maybe our question should really be "Who isn't open?"

 

 

If you're looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner, take-out, delivery or dine-in, there are several restaurants open near you. Thanks to Outer Banks This Week Account Executive Celeste Osorio, we now have a list of what's open right now. Keep in mind that things change quickly. A restaurant that's not on this list could open by the weekend, and a restaurant that's on the list could decide to close for a break for a week or so. Always verify information before you head out the door.

 

This really is the best time of year to dine out or get take-out since there's way less competition from other diners. Now's your chance to get outside of your comfort zone and try a new place in a different town. Eat breakfast or brunch out this weekend. Drive to Hatteras or Ocracoke for lunch. Eat dinner out every night this week, trying seven of the local restaurants you've never been to. Be creative and enjoy! For more information about local restaurants, see our Restaurants page.
