Right on the marina where you can watch the various ships and boats come in while you grab a quick brunch. Good place to meet some of the locals. I grabbed the local catch of the day platter and a 1/2 lbs of peal and eat shrimp with a beer. enjoyed a peaceful hour. It's located close to the southern ferry. so it's a great place to relax if you're waiting. Staff were quick and efficient. Parking is limited and it is a busy spot. You can see the light house from across the water.

Catch of the day: Spanish Mackerel; The Cowgirl; and Onion Rings

We enjoy SmacNally's...EVERY time we visit the island we eat there. My wife and I were there for the last two weeks of July. We ate at SmacNally's twice during our stay (only restaurant we revisited). They were busy both nights, one of which we were told a 25 minute wait...it was less than 10. Food, service, location (waterfront), and pricing were excellent! They have an excellent, courteous, hardworking staff that always go above and beyond for us! 5 STARS!

Nice beer wine and food bar right on marina. Service was excellent. Just did appetizers of calamari rings. ( slightly chewy) a crab cake( very good and peel and eat shrimp. I know most places don't devein but these had large poop trails and wife couldn't eat them. They did right and exchanged for a deep fried shrimp basket. ( very good tasting and a good amount. It happened to be not blustery windy out do it was a pleasant experience sitting on outdoor patio.

A great place to have a meal right on the dock. Food is good, service is always great, and easy to walk to.

Fun spot here!! We so enjoyed our food! My favorite was the fried blue fish!!! Service was a bit hectic as it was very busy!

Beer batter chicken strips

My granddaughter and me enjoyed a late lunch/ early dinner... she ordered beer battered chicken tenders, while I had shrimp platter. The Cajun sauce was great, so were the servers. My granddaughter encouraged me to leave a bigger tip...definitely would recommend. Eating in open air right beside the water was great as well.

What a great spot! Good food and the scenery was fantastic. Had the Cowgirl chicken sandwich.

We had an amazing time sitting at the bar and chatting with the locals!! Claire was the bartender and was friendly and very helpful. The food and drink were both amazing. I tried 2 of the mimosa bar flavors, cranberry and then Passion Fruit. The atmosphere is super cool and has a great vibe!! We picked the right place for our first visit to Ocracoke!! Very dog friendly too. We enjoyed meeting all the local pups!! Thanks for the great meal!

We got here just before they opened at 11. Good thing. Even in April, there was quickly a line for a table.... Sorry, but I forget what I ordered. But I do remember thinking it was yummy! I'll be back next season!

We were there for lunch. Wait time was reasonable. Great seats looking out at Silver Lake. We both had the Sorellas chicken wrap. Mine came with curly fries and my wife had pasta salad. Food was delicious. Service was excellent.

Took over 45 minutes to get a few cheeseburgers! Food is ok but not great, service seriously lacks the whole customer service thing...

Awesome seafood restaurant on Okracoke Island. Efficient staff and great food. A relaxing time…read moreafter a day of traveling. We shared the Seafood Platter, crab legs, burger, and the lobster!

It was our Last night on the island. Everyone says you have to go to Howard's. No you don't. Cool…read morevibe, large space. If you eat like a 10 year old, it's fine. Our waitress was from New England and we couldn't get her to understand the difference between NE clam chowder and anything else. We wanted NE clam chowder. Cream base. The soup of the day was a clam soup with a clear stock. We asked for the cream based clam chowder. She brought the shrimp chowder. Full of corn and potatoes. No shrimp. We asked and she said 'you wanted the cream base' to which all of us relied that we said the cream based CLAM chowder. If they didn't have it, she never said they didn't have it. She brought out the other broth based soup of the day and I cannot believe how BAD it was. It tasted like the stock deglazed a cast iron pot with scorched bacon in it. Sour and metallic. Just foul. The flounder of the day was fine. The Mac n cheese was bland. Husband ordered onion rings but what she brought were seriously overcooked. I can't believe she brought them to the table. Hoping we'd eat them? She took forever to come back and we didn't have to say much. She knew. If that apparent, why serve it?! Pricey crappy dinner. Would have rather spent that or more on better service and food just down the block.
