    If you go toward sunset you won't be disappointed by the view as you watch the sun set over the Palmico Sound.

    Decided to try Dinky's at the last minute and I was not disappointed. There was already a line by…read more5PM, so we knew it would be good! I was really impressed by the variety offered on the menu, including the number of things that were either gluten-free or could be prepared gluten-free. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food came out quickly. The servings were very generous and I definitely could have split a dish with my hubby.

    I was a solo diner tonight and was given the option to either sit at the bar or at a table. I chose…read morea table and from what I could tell there wasn't a single table that did not have a view of the bay. I was able to watch the ferry come in, and watch the sun getting lower and lower over the water. Stunning. I did not catch my waiter's name, but he seemed very familiar with the locals who sat at tables near me. I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops off the starters menu and the spinach salad. With that I had a water and a bottled beer. The food was delicious and plentiful. I had already spied the lemon cheesecake on the menu and told him when I ordered my dinner that I was going to finish with that and a coffee. He said he'd make sure that the pot was brewed for me which I thought was nice. When the bill came, there were two prices listed, one for credit and one for cash instead of saying that they up charge for credit sales they were it that they discount for cash sales, smart business! The parking lot is gravel, plenty of parking and well lit. The restaurant itself is upstairs and as far as I know, you have to climb the steps to go up. I could be wrong, but I didn't see any alternatives. I can imagine that during busy season, reservations would be required.

    If you read no further, please heed my advice - get there early, early, early…read more I've been going to the Hatteras Fire Department's fish fry for as long as I can remember - it was something my family always looked forward to after a long week of cooking on the propane stove at the campground. Now, I look forward to it after a too short week of cooking on electric in a beach house. We like it so much that we drive 35 miles one way to get there. The fish fry starts at 5 and runs until 6:30 or until they run out. We were in line at exactly 5:05. At 6:15, still not to the door, one of the ladies came out and told the guy behind us that he would be the last person served. Thank goodness we weren't the next people after him, I'd have been beyond disappointed. While the serving line has always been a well oiled machine, it is always slow. You really can't complain when you know the hold up is the fish - they were frying it up as fast as they could clean it. You can't get any fresher than that. The fish fry is carry out only. We have learned to bring a cooler with us to keep our dinners warm while on our 45 minute trek back up the island. Once home, we passed out the styrofoam containers and plastic cups of sweet tea and finally dug in. We buy the large dinners where you get 2 pieces of fish, a scoop of potato salad and one of coleslaw and three hush puppies. The fish is whatever was running today and today it was blue fish. So good, so fresh, so worth the 2 and a half hour round trip. We rarely miss dessert and we NEVER miss dessert at the fish fry - it doesn't come with the meal, it's an honor system and it's a donation to the fire department. You never know what will be available, but it doesn't matter, everything is homemade and always delicious. Going to the fish fry means more to me than just good food - it's a tradition. No trip to Hatteras Island would be complete without it. Next time, I promise to be early.
