This chilled out surfer restaurant is a hot spot for locals, and for good reason. Food Dudes offers casual dining with a gourmet menu of fresh, local and delicious homemade food.
Two chefs/owners are the“food dudes” themselves. They cook up outstanding American cuisine with southern, Mexican and Caribbean flair. The menu covers everything from soups and sandwiches to seafood, tacos, quesadillas, burgers and more. Experience the out-out-of-this-world nachos with white cheese sauce smothered on tortilla chips with corn, beans, tomatoes and sour cream. Meal favorites include the fish tacos, crab cake sandwich, jerk chicken wrap or veggie quesadilla. Don’t miss the specials board for new creations. For dessert, check out their 12-layer cake, a delicious tower of layered yellow cake and chocolate frosting. On Sundays, enjoy their killer brunch menu with favorites such as belgian waffles with fresh fruit or huevos rancheros.
At this small and cozy restaurant, you’ll be entertained with surf videos and good music as well as a showcase of incredible local art along the walls. Stop in for lunch or dinner, or order take out. Also, consider Food Dudes for catering your next party or event.
You’ll definitely enjoy your experience at Food Dudes. If so, don't forget to buy a t-shirt!
Food Dudes is located in a small strip of shops, Sea Shore Shops, along the beach road at milepost 9.
