18 Essential Restaurants on the Outer Banks

"Tortugas Lie is a quintessential beach town joint — big on flavors and portions; skimpy on pretension. Snack on nachos, Creole crawdads, or a grilled fish burrito while watching volleyball in the pits out back. Head inside for dinner, where the menu continues with sandwiches, salads, pastas, and entrees such as pork Antonio (jerk-rubbed pork chops in a habanero-currant jam). For first-timers, a cup of Hatteras-style clam chowder is a must." - Matt Lardie
