We dined here for lunch and there was a line almost out the front door at 12:45pm. You place your order and pay at the counter then get your beverage and then find a seat and someone will bring out your order. The order number is on the receipt so hang onto it at least until your order arrives. In spite of how busy the restaurant was, we managed to find an open table inside. There are also some tables outside in back. It was a bit chilly when we were there so we stayed in. One of the daily specials was the club which I ordered on rye with potato salad. My wife got the chicken Caesar wrap with macaroni salad. Both were very good and a good value.

BLUF: Quality sandwiches, full service bar and excellent service…read more Poor Richard's Sandwich Shop is a classic Manteo business that has been there as long as I can remember. Poor Richard's is located on the water and offers scenic views of the Elizabeth II and people milling around Manteo. The sandwiches are always tasty as are their sides. Poor Richard's offer a full menu of both cold and hot sandwiches including some southern favorites like Pimento cheese and coastal classics like a crab cake sandwich. Not to be overlooked are their sides like their pasta salad and cucumber salad. Poor Richard's is open for lunch and then closes to reset before reopening for dinner. Whether dining on the back patio or in the front bar or getting it to go, their hearty sandwiches are fulfilling and quality.

We liked Olives so much, we dined here twice in the same week…read more I recently visited the Outer Banks for a week with my wife and we stayed in Manteo. Prior to arriving in town, I had made a reservation for dinner at Olives for later in the week. The day we arrived, after we unpacked and settled into our rental, we decided to take a walk to explore as we were staying in town. We happened to walk past Olives and decided to look at the menu - and that made us want to go there that night as we did not make any plans that evening and didn't want to get back in the car. I spoke with someone at the host stand and made a reservation for us. I figured I could cancel the reservation for later in the week after we had dinner. (Spoiler: We decided to keep the other reservation.) The food and the service were both excellent. The first night, I had the tri-tip souvlaki which was a special and my wife had the chicken souvlaki from the regular menu. We started with an order of the dolmas and they might be my new favorite. We both enjoyed our dinner and a nice booth with a view of the marina. We ordered a piece of the baklava to go. The second visit, we started with the hummus appetizer and I had the Keftedes and my wife ordered the gyro. The keftedes was so delicious with the tomato-based sauce. Luckily I had some pita to dip in that sauce. My wife enjoyed the gyro and I enjoyed the bite I got to try. The restaurant has a few greek wines on their menu but not a lot of selection. The restaurant is on the smaller side but they do have a few tables outside in the courtyard which in the nice weather is a good option and helps with capacity. I do recommend having a reservation, though. Everyone of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Topanga for giving us some great tips on places to visit in the OBX.

We noticed that the cafe smelled amazing when we walked in the door. The staff were very friendly, upbeat and helpful. We ordered a large and a medium pizza which were both generous in size. Our granddaughter commented that the pepperoni pizza was tasty yet lacking enough meat. The large sausage-pepperoni-mushroom-onion was full of fresh ingredients and very delicious. Chewy crust with the right amount of sauce. We ordered 2 garden salads which were fresh, good mix of veggies and came with a generous amount of homemade ranch dressing. The boneless chicken wings were also great. The sauce had a nice kick (if a bit of spice is your thing.) We had enough leftover for lunch the next day. The tab came to $80.00 which is a steal for dinner and lunch for 8. Wishes we lived locally; would be regulars.

The workers have a large area to prep food so things happened super efficiently. Despite being constantly busy, they were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. There is ample seating in the outdoor patio as well as around the store on the "sidewalk". We took advantage of a nook outside of the market area, which was nicely shaded with tables and chairs. There was also a lot of comfy seating inside with a couple of nooks furnished with chairs and couches for families to sit in. Past the cafe is a market area with merchandise and wine. Can't wait to be back!
