It’s always a good time for steak in Hatteras restaurants. Get an energizing start to the day with steak and egg breakfasts. Dig into a steak sandwich during lunch. And it’s hard to beat a dinner of prime rib or a filet seared to perfection. While Hatteras restaurants don’t include steak houses specifically, it’s easy to find steak dishes at the cafes, bistros, upscale restaurants and even spots for multicultural fare. These eateries incorporate a range of surf and turf entrees onto their menus, so you can enhance your steak by topping it with grilled shrimp, crab meat or even a lobster tail.
