Pony Island Restaurant

The Pony, as the locals call this restaurant, was opened in 1959 as the Ocracoke Restaurant and is the island's oldest eating establishment. It is casual, family-friendly and serves breakfast daily starting at 7 a.m. Enjoy your meal in the original dining room surrounded by vintage period pictures or on the back patio nestled under beautiful crape myrtles. They serve big Southern breakfasts, including some local seafood options, and healthy choices as well to start your day off right. For those on the go, the Pony Express pick-up window is open.
