Manteo’s many family-friendly restaurants have menus with items to delight both adventurous and more selective eaters in your crew. Discover a new favorite type of seafood in delicious preparations of fresh catches, or stick with tried-and-true favorites in the form of fried shrimp baskets. While seafood is definitely a key player among Manteo restaurants, families can also pick up an assortment of pizza pies from pizzerias or generously stuffed sandwiches at cafes and delis, or for a memorable dining experience, take a step back to the 1950s by grabbing a burger and milkshake at a retro diner.
