Hart's Hotdog Hut — Restaurant in Ocracoke

Hart’s Hotdog Hut was exactly what I needed after a long morning of exploring Ocracoke! The team running the kitchen was mindful of my food allergies and did everything they could to accommodate me. Since I was dining in, they also checked up on me several times, despite there being no obligation for them to—you order and pickup at separate windows, seat yourself, etc.—but they made sure I had what I needed and that I was happy with my meal.

I was there around 1pm, and it was fairly empty, though a few people came through for the convenience store. I overheard a very kind conversation between the cashier and a patron who had just arrived on the island, who wanted to rent a golf cart.

It is in a gas station. They only have a buffet and it is really good at a great price. They have all kinds of options.

Look, I know my way around a hearty breakfast. And Hart's is not just about hot dogs. In fact, I didn't see a hot dog during my visit. What I did see was a great breakfast buffet for a reasonable price, drinks included.

Try them first before slathering them with the maple syrup. You'll thank me. The folks hosting the buffet were really friendly and helpful too. I'm going back. A couple more times before we have to go home....
