There's nothing more fun than a roadtrip to the beach with your best friends. One of my favorite parts of a trip is finding new places to eat. Here are a few of my favorite stops all the way from Raleigh to the Outer Banks.
Boylan Bridge Brewpub
If you're looking for an awesome spot before leaving the city, Boylan Bridge Brewpub is definitely worth checking out. Located just off Hillsborough St., their view is one of the best in the city. Sit out on the patio and look out at the Raleigh skyline. With a very moderately priced menu (most items around $10), this railroad themed brewery is sure to satisfy.
The Beefmastor Inn
If you are looking for somewhere a little more upscale, check out The Beefmastor Inn located on Highway 301 in Wilson. It may not look like much from the outside, only seating around 30 people. Serving only steak and salad, they have specialized and definitely got it right. Worth the detour off the beaten path!
Fish Hooks Cafe
Located downtown in waterfront community Belhaven, Fish Hooks is one of the best seafood restaurants I have ever eaten at. Fried shrimp, stuffed flounder, pineapple casserole, and twice baked potatoes are just a few of the awesome dishes they're serving up.
Hurricane Mo's Beachside Bar & Grill
You've finally made it to the beach, now what? After a long day in the sun, Hurricane Mo's happy hour featuring $0.13 steamed peel and eat shrimp, $0.33 wings, and $1 tacos is hard to beat. They also have a large outdoor deck to relax if it's not too hot, or full tiki bar inside.
