Dine At These Top Kure Beach Restaurants

Who wants to cook and do dishes when they are on vacation?? Absolutely no one! When you book your vacation this summer in a Kure Beach rental through Network Real Estate, make plans to visit some of our local favorite restaurants. We have breakfast lunch and dinner covered from coffee shops, diners, burgers, to some of the best seafood and steaks on the island! Here are just a few of our top picks

Kure Beach Diner

Enjoy breakfast or lunch at this great little mom-and-pop diner by the Kure Beach Pier. Grab breakfast before a day at the beach or grab some lunch after a long morning of fishing! They are open from 7 am-3 pm and the staff is always warm, friendly, and ready to serve. Their menu features giant fluffy pancakes, breakfast platters, burgers, seafood sandwiches and so much more!

Beach House Burger

This classic burger shack is a local favorite and a spot that vacationers can’t get enough of when they come to stay in one of our Kure Beach vacation rentals. They’ve got big-mouth burgers and salty fries to quench an appetite of any size. This hotspot is just a short walk from the Kure Beach Pier and a block from the ocean. 

Freddie’s Italian Restaurant

Not only voted “Best Restaurant” in Kure Beach but they were also recognized in Encore magazine as one of Cape Fear’s best, multiple years in a row. Their menu flows from fine wines to pasta, local catches, and select steaks, to their extravagant selection of pork chops and specialty salads and desserts. Though it may not be the best option for large gatherings as dining space is limited, it is a perfect place to take the family for a divine treat while vacationing in one of our Kure beach vacation rentals. They are sure not to disappoint!

Happy Hippies Java Hut

While we all love supporting local favorites when we are on vacation, Happy Hippies KEEPS smiles on our locals’ faces year-round. This eclectic, one-of-a-kind, locally-loved coffee hot spot is one you cannot miss while you’re vacationing at Kure Beach. The menu is cram-packed with mouthwatering coffee-shop favorites, hot and iced. They also feature lots of locally baked treats, smoothies, teas, healthy snacks, and great gifts and souvenirs to take home with you from your vacation. This is a great stop to make before gearing up for some of the best kid-friendly activities in Carolina Beach!

 Jack Mackerel’s

This Caribbean-influenced local spot has lots to choose from on its menu of coastal delights. You can dine inside, at the bar, or enjoy the sea breeze from their large outside eating area. This Pleasure Island favorite offers fresh seafood, steaks, burgers, and chicken entrees. They have a little something for everyone in the family and an energetic atmosphere that is hard to compare to!
