Both indoor and outdoor seating feel relaxed and welcoming. The swag is fun and perfect for preserving island memories. Also on-site food options to round out the experience. Fun fact: The "1718" in 1718 Brewing refers to the year Blackbeard was killed off Ocracoke Island -- November 1718, during his final battle with Lt. Robert Maynard. Homage to the island's most famous historical event.

On the island for a week and visited this spot 4 times. Great craft beer and wine to take home or…read moreenjoy on the cozy deck by the fire pit. One thing I loved about visiting Ocracoke, particularly this time of year, and Zillie's was the fact that it feels real...not like a basic tourist trap. The bartender our first night was friendly as were all the locals (shout out to Shannon and Benny!) who regaled us with stories about Ocracoke past and present. The experience the first night brought me back and I about broke the bank because they also have a ton of cute gifts and other goods. If you ever have the good fortune to visit, you gotta stop by. Hey, maybe one day I'll own it if they'll sell it...loved it that much! But be sure to check the hours as they are subject to change...you're on island time.

Very nice bar and restaurant in downtown Ocracoke NC. Fun decorated dinning space with sea and…read morepirate themes and lots of state plates. Cool angled interior space with a rustic feeling open post and beam roof. Grabbed a pound of peal and eat shrimp. Drinks were strong and savory however a bit pricy.

Got the fresh catch, blackened and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection. All local beers on tap and a nice drink selection. Gluten free items are clearly marked and space is relatively accessible. Ramp (though very long!) to get in and relatively accessible restrooms. About a 15 minute drive once you get off the ferry. Would absolutely come back.

I'd eat here everyday. The crab cakes were out of this world and you can taste the freshness. One…read morething I really liked is that before you go to the counter, you need to have your order ready. That helps speed up service and not have lines being held up by "I'll have uhh.... Uhhhh... zzzz" and we all hate that. Lots of outdoor seating as well and you get to have that great OBX breeze while eating. I'll be back for sure!

Really cool setup. You order your food at the front, then find an open seat--they have tons of…read moreoutdoor seating right on the Sound. They had live music playing on a Saturday evening and he was really talented as well! Pretty good food, we both got a pork BBQ sandwich with red mash potatoes. Pretty good selection of beer and mixed drinks--although my Orange Crush didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it. My wife got a Rum Runner and a Mai Thai and was very happy with both from a flavor and alcohol content. Really fun area where kids can run and play and also fun to people watch. We would go back just for the views and fun vibe.

They ran out of the fish on special but ordering after 9 at a restaurant that closes at 9 was understandable. We had the blue crab ravioli, shrimp and sausage gratin, and the sautéed shrimp.

Thanks again Neil, you are a true professional!

The hospitality was great, amazing vibes, and their food was AMAZING. I would recommend the Lamb. It was DELICIOUS. One of the best lambs I've ever had and also it comes with pesto gnocchi. Sadly I don't have a picture if it. Loved it, will be back again.

We have our sunset dinner here for our annual summer vacation with friends and the Inn never…read moredisappoints. Located directly on the Pamlico Sound this is a perfect dinner spot. This year they added an outdoor tiki bar and it has great views of the sound. So, if you come early for your reservation or want to stay for a few cocktails after dinner, this is the perfect place. The main restaurant has both inside seating with AC/heat and seating that is mostly enclosed but is more like outside seating with large windows that are generally open when the weather permits....not a bad seat anywhere you sit! During the summer months they host great acoustic guitar performances that can be enjoyed along with your dinner. This is the place to go to in the Avon-Buxton-Frisco-Hatteras area for fine dining and well worth the reasonable prices. During our visit earlier this week we ordered a kids meal, Elk chops, lamb, and the filet for this in our group and everything was cooked to perfection. The Chef was helpful at making recommendations on how the Elk should be cooked and the recommendation was spot on! If you're in the OBX this summer, put the Inn on your dinner rotation---especially if looking for a more upscale experience.
