Lazzaras Pizza...We continue to find this little pizza and sub shop on the corner of Coast Guard Road and Emerald Drive a good pick. The pizzas are always well topped with ingredients and the crusts good, if not quite crispy enough for our liking. The ease of getting one piece at a time is a plus if just wanting to get your pizza fix. Small dining area that is comfortable, but they do offer outside seating that is nice in season. The subs are ok, but we do not find ourselves wanting to dine of their subs unless it is a rainy night which makes for a quick trip for us. Does close some in off season.
Church Street Deli and Pub...This little place is in downtown Swansboro and we have liked it every time we have been there. Quaint and cozy little dining area and bar. The food is excellent and we especially like the hot dog selection. Anyone will feel comfortable here and find it a good place to sit, talk, and relax.
T&W Oyster Bar...We really like this seafood restaurant about five miles out on Highway 58 from Emerald Isle. The seafood is always quite good and the servings are plentiful. They have good baked potatoes too. Try the hush puppies, but be careful not to fill yourself up with them prior to the meal as they are quite good and addictive. The owner is most personable and comes by the table to check on your meal and chat. We love the sorta seafood camp feeling you get in the place. Fireplace in the winter makes it a good winter choice too. Open nightly and on Sundays at noon.
Village Market...Great little place that has excellent selections for higher end deli foods of all types. Much of the food is made in house and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have regular lunch specials that are good and do not forget to try their breakfast choices. Small dining area that is a nice place to dine, talk, and just sit awhile.
Mikes Restaurant...One of our favorites on the island. A great place to eat breakfast and the price is right too. Be sure to try their home potatoes which alone are worth the trip. The breakfast plates are plentiful and good for morning appetites. We understand the coffee is good as well. The wait staff is friendly and the place just really good for eating well and enjoying the morning. Frankly their lunch menu looks good too, but we can not tear ourselves away from the breakfast to try them so far. Note the place closes at 2 PM.
Rucker Johns...We come back to RJ's over and over. Simply put the best place to dine on the island in our opinion. The food is priced right, the quality excellent, and we have never been disappointed in any food choice. Add in that the staff is well trained and attentive. The manager generally drops by to check on your meal. The place is very comfortable to dine and we honestly believe the food choices are so good we could almost dine here daily forever and never get bored. Check the daily specials online. Our favorites are the steaks, notably the prime rib. We also heartily suggest the Tuscan Turkey sandwich as well. The salads are well prepared and good choices, try the honey mustard and hot bacon dressing as it is first rate. The baked potatoes are always cooked to perfection. The Shrimp Bisque is a almost to die for soup choice if it is on the menu that day. Having dined there a good bit and listened to comments from fellow diners we believe their might not be a bad item on the menu so take a chance. Open year round.
