So you want to know where you can dine outside at Hatteras restaurants? The better question is, where can’t you? Dine on a balcony where you can see stretches of the island and sound for miles, or sit on a grassy lawn that’s bordered by the sound. Some Hatteras restaurants may promote outdoor dining as one of their top features, and for others it’s simply part of their set up, where outdoor picnic tables invite customers to pause and enjoy sandwiches or ice cream on nice days.
