In a land of ham biscuits, barbecue sandwiches and fresh, local seafood, vegetarians should rest assured they won’t miss out on the Hatteras restaurant scene. Vegetarian, and even a few vegan, options are available at the majority of cafes, grills, delis, pizzerias and more, so big groups of diners can enjoy meal out where options offer dishes for both carnivores and pescatarians. For a taste of something different, shake up the cuisine with flavors from Mexican restaurants or Asian-fusion spots.
