The Pony and The Boat

Kitty Hawk visitors in the mood for an elegant meal with lots of fresh and local ingredients will want to plan an evening or a Sunday brunch at The Pony and the Boat, which is the latest culinary concept from celebrated Outer Banks restaurateur Tommy Karole. Featuring upscale spins on a range of classic southern dishes, and taking inspiration from the coastal waters of the Outer Banks, this restaurant with an ever-changing menu is sure to appease foodies who love comfort food with an elevated twist.

The atmosphere at The Pony and the Boat is warm and inviting and features reclaimed barn wood and wood treated in the Japanese fire-touched method of yakisugi, which is enhanced by the central fireplace. The menu is just as warm and tempting, with specialty wines and North Carolina brews, and a heaping helping of classic southern comfort food like fried chicken, seafood platters, pork chops, or even chicken pot pie, all with spotlight side dishes that create pitch-perfect meals. Featuring a wealth of familiar cuisine, but taking these dishes to a new level of sophistication, The Pony and the Boat is a great Outer Banks destination to discover just how remarkable classic southern fare can be.
