Vicki B's Restaurant & Market

Vicki B's Restaurant & Market sits on Budleigh Street in downtown Manteo on Roanoke Island, combining a restaurant with a small market under one roof. It's a straightforward, moderately priced ($$) stop for a meal rather than a destination in itself — the kind of combined restaurant-and-market setup you'll find scattered through small Outer Banks towns, distinct from the beach-town restaurant strip across the Washington Baum Bridge at Whalebone Junction.

The restaurant is open every day of the week. Monday through Friday it runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday hours start a little earlier at 10 a.m. and run to 9 p.m., and Sunday closes earlier still, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. That shorter Sunday window is worth building into your plans if you're timing a visit around a day exploring Roanoke Island's historic sites on the island's north end. Vicki B's doesn't currently list a website, so calling ahead at (252) 305-8117 is the most reliable way to confirm hours or ask about the market side of the business before you go.
