Cafe Pamlico

We have had family members eat here for breakfast, and they said they really liked the food and atmosphere. We made a reservation for brunch, but had to wait for a bit to get seated. Not a big deal. Then once we were seated, it was very, very slow. The server was very nice, but it took about over an hour to get our food and had to try to flag her down multiple times for different things we needed. Multiple tables came, and then left early because they were never served after being seated. This might be because it was brunch time, since breakfast time was not bad. Unfortunately, our food was kind of cold at that point. As for food options, there are gluten free options. In our group, those that ordered the crab cake sandwich and the Brie burger said their food was delicious. I ordered the Crab Frites. Personally, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the dish. It was French fries, tons of shredded cheese with a crab sauce. I would prefer to try the shrimp and grits another time based on other reviews. Cost wise: for brunch/lunch it cost between $15-30. Dinner is more pricey. Compared to other restaurants in the area, dinner cost is a little more expensive, but on par for the cost of the area for casual fine dining. The atmosphere was very nice. Great view from the cafe of the water. There is a dock you can walk to. Personally, I might try it one more time to see if it’s a different experience.

Gluten free/dairy free options. The crab cakes dont have filler like breading, the gnocchi are pillowy and soft. Very cute and casual, had a deck where well behaved dogs are welcomed where you can watch the water.
