That was one of the only places that we'd actually LIKED on Ocracoke Island, we went there while we were on a week's vacation in Frisco, with a lot of other family mates. For a half a day, we were here, and let me just say, getting in was a hastle. We had to wait 40 minutes until we got in, but the wait was worth it! They had delicious food, and very good fish.
Was there last night. Has the grilled mahi, black beans and rice and the red potatoes. The portions were good, the food was excellent, and nothing was over seasoned...so you could actually taste the freshness of the food instead of having the taste masked by old bay and salt. Looking forward to spending my Friday nights there all season...
the foods ok at best. the wait isnt worth the quality of the food. had a bowl of chowder there that was pretty good, but the name of it escapes me. as a whole ocracoke is beautiful.
I go to this place a lot to drink beer while playing bar golf on the island. It is a tourist trap and not much more these days. All the good places are closer to the marina.
If you go you have to try their appetizer, Santa Fe eggrolls. Those things are delicious. For those of you who say the food ain't great, Kiss ass! Nobody made you go there and just because you don't like it don't mean somebody else won't! I live here in eastern NC and we go to Ocracoke twice a summer, and Howards is always one of our stops!
I'm a FL native myself, but I currently reside in East TN. I love love love hangin out on the outside patio deck of a nice seafood house or bar while kickin back with friends, a nice stogie, and of course my personal favorite...a LandShark Lager. I wanna visit Ocracoke hopefully in 2009 just for the history of Edward Teach, but is it a great area to visit or what? Any opinions on lodging, bars/restaraunts, and the over all area itself as far as tourism and security goes? Thanks for any advice!
yeah, it a great area. You should stay at the bluff shoal motel, its probably the nicest on the island, and for a nice dinner try the cafe atlantic or capn bens. As for security, the only thing that ever really gets stolen is bikes. all the time.
I live in NC and I did not like Howards Pub food.High price and low quality. Next time I'll just go to the grocery store and use the grill and my fishing pole.
BTW, we back back the following week and we ordered the calamari as an appetizer and I must say it was disappointing. We will not be ordering it again.
oyster shooters, blackened tuna, fried pickels, tuna bites, seafood platter. delicious.

Okay, so out of all the fresh seafood at Howard's Pub that you couldn't get anywhere else on the mainland, the kids get chicken wings?
