Ocracoke Restaurants: Exceptional Wine List

The Back Porch is one of the island's great restaurants, providing a consistently pleasant dining experience. Their open-air screened porch dining room provides the space you need to be comfortable outdoor dining, and properly spaced interior air-conditioned dining also is available. Fresh, local seafood and produce are the stars of the menu, but hand-cut meats and poultry also shine. The menu changes seasonally, and taste combinations and presentation are always creative. A fine selection of homemade desserts is available to round out a perfect meal, and there's a full bar. Back Porch serves dinner Wednesday through Saturday and a locals' favorite Sunday brunch.
