Friendly and amazing selection of every item you would need for a week or more stay - especially considering the location and size. And always nice to support a local grocer vs big chain. read more

Really cool mix of a deli and convenience store. They have more than you probably think. Huge selection of wines and also CBD products. We went just for the breakfast--which didn't disappoint. I got the Wake & Bake, my wife got the Zach Morris. Both very tasty and very large portions. Everyone there was nice and friendly, which made it somewhere we would definitely go back. read more

My people are here! What a FRIENDLY little store with great sandwiches and things you need. Best to bring your food from the mainland, however Waves can supplement things you may have forgotten. We had a sandwich and split it for lunch along with some onion rings. Totally epic! Recommend lunch here to take to the beach! read more

10/10 Night Rider burrito: best burrito I've had in a decade. Each element had insane flavor and perfect composition. Chorizo was spicy and plentiful, guacamole was spicy and fresh, the tortilla was thin and perfectly grilled. I'm obsessed. The onion rings inside added crunch and seemed like they were just made. Can't say enough about how good this was. Especially for about $9. The whole market is so well stocked for foodies! Feels like a chef-curated sundries mart. You can find anything in there and all for a really good value. This was the best bkfst/brunch we've had in OBX and we've been here a week already traveling from Duck to Ocracoke. Yall are legends. Will return. Xo read more

Very generous portions! I got the Granny Peggy on their fresh homemade hoagie bread. It was HUGE! I made 3 meals out of the 1 sandwich! My husband got the Jean. It was 2 meals for him. Loved the fun options! Made it difficult to decide. Reasonable prices, especially for the size, fresh ingredients, and being near the beach! Tip: call 20 minutes ahead to place an order. Otherwise, you might be standing in line for awhile. This place is popular! read more

Stopped by for breakfast burritos and was surprised at the huge selection of beer/wine/seltzers and all of the sundries. Store is clean, staff is friendly and food is good! Stop by if you are in Rodanthe/Waves! read more

Waves Market & Deli - Wake and Bake burrito - Grocery Near Me - Waves, North Carolina

Our last morning in the OBX, we all wanted a tasty grab and go breakfast. We arrived at Waves Market & Deli and were wowed by the menu. I ordered the Taylor pork roll. Hubby and his brother ordered the wake & bake burrito. Our sister-in-law ordered the night train. We paid then waited about 10 minutes for our orders. We found a bench outside and chowed down. I absolutely loved my Taylor pork roll sandwich. The Taylor ham/pork roll was sliced thick and cooked perfectly! Fried egg and melty American cheese along with ketchup on a soft kaiser roll made the best breakfast sandwich. Hubby throughly enjoyed his wake & bake burrito. I tried a couple bites and it was amazing! The fried potato with the chipotle sauce - yum! Everyone else also really enjoyed their breakfast. Waves served up a hot, fresh and delicious breakfast for us. We would definitely return if we were back in the area. read more

Just a super cool place. They have an extremely unique collection of goods for sale. Such as the old bubblegum cigarettes... I had no idea they existed today. They have Nehi grape drinks for example. Who has ever seen Ketchup Candy? They sell it. No doubt, it's great on those Candy Hotdogs... The place is full of candy from the 1950 - 60 era. They also have many many gourmet items, great food that you could serve to the most discriminating guests. Interesting cheeses, unique sausage, great sauces, etc. They also have a collection of wine and almost every beer known to man. The place is worth visiting even if you don't plan to buy anything. They also have deli foods. You can get a great sandwich if you are hungry, or buy all the Boars Head ingredients to make your own at home. Service was great too. The staff was friendly. read more

Unbelievably delicious breakfast and coffee! Friendly service as well. The only open place I could find (offseason), but luckily the very best!!!! read more

Quick and convenient market place and sandwich shop! A great selection of hot or cold sandwiches and a few burritos. I ordered the Maui wowie and it was tasty! Just wish there was more seating, even a bench or maybe a few picnic tables. But we had a nice lunch down at the Salvo day use area! read more

Best Restaurant near Buxton and Avon. We stop here every time we come to visit. It is a little whole in the wall place that has the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. My husband got the Italian Stallion today worth banana peppers. He said it was better than any Subway or Jersey Mikes or Jimmy John's he had ever ate. It's our favorite restaurant in the area. read more

We have been to Waves Deli many times. Their sandwiches are great. My husband loves the Italian Stallion. Waves Deli is always out first stop when we hit the Outer Banks. read more

The breakfast burritos hit the spot! We had to go back for seconds. The pistachio ice cream sandwiches and strawberry ice cream sandwiches were sooo good! The service was great! The prices are affordable. I personally didn't go inside. My husband went in and it has a beach vibe! It has a great selection of drinks! read more

They carry Boars Head cold cuts and you can call your order in ahead of time which is wonderful.

The staff is super friendly. Lots of snack options including vegetarian & gluten free options. Ordered the fake & bake burrito--vegetarian sausage, hash browns, eggs, cheese, and some kind of spicy sauce in it. Really good, and they definitely don't skimp on the fillings. I will say, it could have used a little bit more cheese in it but no big deal because the rest of it was so good. Tried a turkey sandwich from the deli later on (I just don't eat red meat hence the fake & bake burrito from earlier). Sandwich was fantastic. Generous portion of turkey, lettuce + tomatoes were fresh and crisp. Swiss cheese was good as well. I got a side of fries and they were, well, fries. Can't really go wrong there. The ranch they came with was pretty tasty, I think they're making it in house. Great spot to grab a quick bite. read more

Great sandwich deli in a well stocked store. Everything you could possibly need but plan to pay more for groceries here than at the other store options. Sandwiches were reasonable at $10 - $15 a piece. My chicken salad was just okay. Hubs ordered the Maui Wowie and loved it. Food is "to go" only so no ambiance. Service was slow. Can't imagine what the wait times are during high season. But obviously worth the wait for all the folks (mostly locals) that were grabbing lunch. We will definitely go back so I can try a different sandwich. I make a mean chicken salad with/craisins, pecans, celery, onions, etc. so my standards are pretty high. ;) read more

Big fat burrito get in my belly! Huge and delicious for breakfast. The one with the chipotle sauce and bacon is the best.

We were visiting in the area and decided to stop in to buy some water. We got to the register and were greeted by a friendly cashier named Abby. She offered us a menu and raved out how good the food was. We brought the water to the car, took a look at the menu and knew this had to be our dinner spot for the night. We ordered burritos and they were HUGE. I'm not kidding. They weren't the least expensive burrito I've had but well worth the money. You get what you pay for. They were extremely filling and flavorful. We were really happy with our meal and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious bite! read more

Ordered the bbq sandwich. Slaw was top notch and the bbq had the best flavor. The sauce is a bit spicy but delicious.

The customer service was outstanding, everyone in there was so friendly, personable and welcoming and very accommodating as well. The sandwich was huge for only about $8 clearly made with fresh and quality ingredients with heaping helpings and a wonderful ratio. Excellent food, service, and ambiance. I definitely recommend this spot it's a gem. Leaving the OBX now and I will miss it here! read more

Great food. Sandwiches are huge and the fries and onion rings are delicious. Highly recommend.

We got a sandwich that was delicious and piled high with meat. We also tried the pasta salad and Cole slaw. All were good. Large selection of beer and wine. Only gave 4 stars due to a rude staff member in the deli. read more

It's so nice to have the waves market and deli so close by and be stocked with everything that you might need while on vacation. No it's not a large scale grocery but it does keep the necessities and keeps you from having to drive miles and miles to get some eggs. I was really impressed with the beer and wine selection in the local beers, wines and ciders. Open 9-9 it's easy to see why this is a favorite spot for groceries and food! read more

There's simply nothing bad to be said about Waves. The food is incredible. The portions massive. And the price just right. Waves is the ultimate post surf/kite spot. Whatever you need to refuel, relax, or rejuvenate after getting out of the water, you can find at Waves. Fav burritos: 1. Fake & Bake (veggie friendly) 2. Wake & Bake 3. Dr. Feelgood read more

We stop here multiple times during our extended stays on Hatteras, every summer. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a pretty good selection of local beers if you like that sort of thing. The food is always good, even the baked goods! They also have these frozen cookie desserts that are delicious! Hit it up when you're in the area, you can't go wrong. read more

Best deli hands down! Me and my boyfriend were getting off the hatteras island ferry late and this was the only place that was open. We came in at 830pm when they closed at 9pm and the deli lady was happy to help us! Was so quick and amazing food! I got the pig pen and my boyfriend got the Italian! Would 10/10 recommend to any for a quick bite to eat. Also loved the ambiance, amazing music playing and the lady at the market counter was very nice! read more

Great IPA selection and wonderful deli sandwiches and meats! However a little pricey(you are on an island) but our roast beef was awesome! They sell out quick during busy season read more

Small grocery store with all the necessities. Prices are not bad and it beats driving all the way into Avon when we're staying in Waves.

Best sandwhich ever!!! Got roast beef on a Kiser roll & Chicken salad on toasted bread. We only could eat 1/2 of our sandwiches. Ate the other 1/2's the next day. Definitely would go back!! read more

Popped into this place while in town on vacation and was so pleasantly surprised, it became a staple store while we were around. Traveling as a vegan can be tough, especially while going to smaller towns but this place had grocery options as well and made to order. The fake and bake without the cheese and egg as well as the cosmic Charlie were delicious. All the staff we interacted with were so friendly and kept us coming back. The outside might look like just another convenience store but this is so much more! read more

Very neat local spot for all things beer, and the deli food was awesome. We order the Spicoli, Cousin Louie, Caesar salad, and fries w/ white sauce. The Spicoli and Louie were very good, but the salad and fries w/ white sauce were PHENOMENAL. read more
