Sonny's Waterfront Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Love this place for breakfast. We've hit Sonny's every time we visit Hatteras and will continue to for years to come.
Update 2024 You folks still are excellent and consistent, food is awesome, the staff is awesome, it has been a joy to be able to let you serve me and my family once again. I hope to see you all again in 2025. God bless you all and thank you for doing a great job. Oops almost forgot to mention the bar, it's great for a quick drink or just to unwind with a cocktail, also try the crab soup. "My original post from Years ago" I already miss this place. Wonderful home cook meals, great staff, awesome breakfast and lunch and dinner. Glad places like this are still around. Also they have a great bar selection as well. As for the staff here, thank you for such a great experience and making my stay at hatteras warm and welcoming. Keep up the good work.
Had dinner here with my daughter. The food was delicious. I had fried mahi with garlic,bacon mashed potatoes and coleslaw and it was so good and my daughter had poor boy's hamburger steak that was delicious as well. Will definitely come back next year.
I had to wait a good while to be seated and also for our food to be brought out but it was worth the wait. Best French toast I've had in a long time and the hotcakes are even better. Absolutely delicious food.
I had coffee and six eggs over hard with 2 pancakes. Their pancakes were big but I'm a big eater. The waitress was very nice and continued to check in on us so I'm grateful. The food was delicious and I'd eat here again. Hopefully before we go back home. I'd recommend this place. Be safe and enjoy the food.
Excellent fresh caught shrimp!! It’s a great place to eat! Very friendly people!
Good breakfast and lunch place near the ferry area. Seated fast. Relaxed atmosphere. Employees friendly. Service good. Food tasty, nice portions and made fresh, good, and tasty. 10/27/22 and 10/28/22 returned for the first time in several years. The Missus had a custom cheese, onion, and pepper omelet, and well seasoned, very tasty home fries (called hash browns here). I had the lump crab (loaded with crab!) and cheese omelet both mornings. It was probably the best omelet I've ever had. Lunch served here and hours are limited to 6:30am to 11am for breakfast. Up to 2:00pm for lunch. Then dinner until 9:00pm. Lots of locals go here. Seems you can't go wrong with this super good, homecooked meal diner/cafe.
This place never disappoints. They are always friendly and the food is amazing. Very good pricing, too. This is a go-to restaurant every time I'm in the OBX. It's definitely worth the drive from Kitty Hawk, where I usually stay.
