We decided to go out for lunch today. I was craving the Italian sub at Sandbar & Grille's new Pizzeria. Unfortunately, Sandbar was closed (even though their posted hours said they should have been open). We ended up at Angelo's in Buxton. The woman there told us several rumors ...
Rumor #1 - Pigman is gone. They've removed the signs from the Buxton location and the one in Kill Devil Hills is also for sale. The woman said the owners had been running the place for years and had just gotten tired of it. Very sad news indeed.
Rumor #2 - Austin Creek Grill in Hatteras Landing (right beside the ferry to Ocracoke) is gone. No word on what happened, but supposedly another Dirty Dick's crabhouse is going in there. This was our "special occasion" restaurant, so we're pretty bummed. Austin Creek also catered our wedding.
Rumor #3 - The Fish House restaurant in Buxton is not planning to reopen in 2007. All winter their sign has said "Thank You." Silly us, we thought it meant "thank you for a great 2006 season," not "thank you for the memories."
Rumor #4 - The Fish Tales restaurant right on the Frisco/Hatteras border is not planning to reopen in 2007 either. What is going on?
Finally, and this is NOT a rumor, the Pickled Steamer in Avon is up for sale. The owner is hoping to sell to someone who will keep the Steamer concept, but who knows how things will turn out. This is one of our favorite places on Hatteras Island. We're anxiously awaiting for it to reopen for the season so we can get the scoop. - Shelby Kinnaird
