This is where the locals recommended to eat and they were right. We ate here twice, once in the evening inside and once for lunch outside. The Rueben sandwich and burgers were great. Be sure to stop in for lunch or light dinner.

We knew the minute we walked in we were gonna like this place. The aroma of grilled sandwiches and burgers was wonderful! We tried both...very good. There is outdoor seating with a nice view of the sound if you can stand the heat. They were very busy the day we were there, but still provided great service. We also ordered... More

Poor Richards serves good food, is in a good location and has a great view of the Sound. However, the dining room is cramped, the staff seemed stressed out and it took forever to get a burger and two hotdogs (and our visit was on a weekday, i would hate to see it on the weekend).

We enjoyed our sandwiches and the shop is cute. However, we were shocked that all of the soup, chili, barbecue, and baked beans are heated in the microwave in Styrofoam. So, enjoy the your meal, but eat at your own risk.

Poor Richard's is hands down the best lunch spot in Manteo. They have Boar's Head meats and several homemade items. There's always specials of the day and their pasta salad is yummy! The have kid friendly items also and cold beer for those interested!

Wonderful place to enjoy the waterway, people watch and enjoy great sandwiches,(try the turkey wrap) or sip a beer while your honey shops. Fresh ingredients and reasonably priced. Had a steady stream of customers both days we were in town.
