Restaurant Changes
On your trip to Hatteras Island this year, you'll notice a number of changes on the restaurant scene.
Pickled Steamer is now Cafe 12 (Avon). They bill themselves as the "Home of the Hatteras Flat" which is similar to Pickled Steamer's flattop. They have a lot of menu items similar to Pickled Steamer, but have added more home-cooking type food.
Hodad's is now the Avon Cafe. Their menu is more interesting and they make all of their own desserts and breads.
Wahini's is now Island Perks (Buxton). Wahini's closed last Oct. and the owner of Uncle Eddy's custard opened Island Perks, a coffee shop that serves breakfast and lunch. The space has been expanded and there is more seating than there was at Wahini's.
Buoy's (Buxton) is now primarily a BBQ place. Instead of being a sit-down-and-be-waited-on place, you go up to the counter and place your order, then they deliver it to your table.
The sub shop at Sandbar & Grille (Buxton) that had the world's best hot Italian sub is gone. The upstairs restaurant is still there, but the downstairs area is now a game room.
The Fish House (Buxton) is under new management and has a new menu.
