Buyer Beware! If you intend on hosting a wedding or other event at Inn on Pamlico Sound please read through my experience. Hopefully it will help you prepare for your event. My daughter booked the “Stress Free” wedding package at the INN. It was anything but stress free. We had 5 weeks to pull a wedding together before she deployed... More

We have eaten at this restaurant in years past but attended a wedding at this venue on this past trip. The food was AMAZING. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a nice evening out. Pop a bottle of wine and enjoy the view from the deck. Super romantic and fun all roll into one! The food left... More

We ate here for my husband's birthday. The prices were a bit higher than other places in Buxton, but we thought the extra money was well worth it. Both of our dishes were excellent, service was prompt and friendly.

We have eaten dinner here several times over the years. On our recent visit to Buxton, we ate there 3 times. The sunsets were beautiful and the food exceptionally good.

As a local in a "vacation destination beach town" my wife and our friends get to enjoy the many of the great restaurants on Hatteras Island. We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Cafe Pamlico. It was our first visit this year and the experience was exceptional. The staff is always attentive, but not in a hurry. The food served...

Got oyster poisoning halfway through a cup of seafood soup. Serious pains for about and hour and then diarrhea. The bartender was good, but we flet like the rest of the staff was stalking us at the bar.

It appears from this reviewer's other reviews in the Buxton area that they became sick in multiple establishments. As there are no oysters in our seafood soups, the oyster poisoning they believe they experienced could not have been a result of dining with us. More

It was a very nice dinner, but unfortunately didn't blow us away as we expected it would (perhaps wrongfully so). Both my wife and I had the filet, and both were near well-done (ordered medium). In fairness, they did offer to remake the steaks, but they were still fairly juicy and tasted pretty good. Prices were very high and our... More

We read the great reviews and we were ready to splurge. It was our first night on Hatteras Island and we wanted to celebrate. We got extremely disappointed with our entrees...It was the kind of food that I could easily cook at home, there was nothing special and the plate presentation was sloppy. The menu misleadingly announced roasted chicken when... More

We had both dinner and breakfast at the Cafe Pamlico. Just like the Inn itself, the Cafe is simple, charming and serves excellent food. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The food was beautifully presented. There is a fresh herb garden right outside the door and the chef does an outstanding job of creating great food. We also attended... More
