Love this little "hole in the wall" we make sure to visit it every year when we're on vacation. They have the best fish tacos and shrimp wraps out there and the staff is awesome! Hands down they have some of the best food in the OBX, skip getting dressed up and going out on the town. Come here instead you won't regret it!

We were looking for a place for lunch so we put local restaurants in google maps and found this hidden gem. We pulled in and saw the front and said I think we're going to be very happy and we weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was quirky and inviting. The staff were friendly and cared about making our experience a good one. I had a blackened grouper sandwich with homemade potato salad. Both were delicious! If you're anywhere near the Hatteras lighthouse I highly recommend you stopping at Buxton Munch!

We love eating here! We went for a later lunch and were seated right away. My husband got the fish tacos and I got the shrimp tacos- both were excellent. My husband has celiac so both taco options were gluten free when paired with corn tortillas. The tortillas were brought out wrapped in foil. A note that they do have a gluten free menu available however their tortilla chips are noted as gluten free but are made in a shared fryer. So, not safe for someone with celiac. The staff was very nice and helpful and asked about the shared fryer for me.

an amazing place filled with super fun decorations! an incredible welcoming and kind staff with great service and to top it off, DELICIOUS food!! we loved going as a family and will be coming back :)

Cool cafe tucked into a tiny strip mall in Buxton. Easy to miss but don't! Fish tacos were AMAZING! Beautifully presented and the service was great. I'm guessing a lot of locals come here as well. Cool vibe. Clean bathroom. We will be back.

Don’t judge the cover!!! Great food and atmosphere. The shrimp basket my wife ordered had some of the best shrimp ever!! It was melt is your mouth popcorn shrimp. The shrimp corn chowder was plentiful. I had the fish taco’s with fish of the day mahi-mahi. Once again excellently prepared. This is a must return and more than one stop per trip place to eat!!!

What an awesome experience! Fish tacos were delicious and the presentation was just as great! So much food. It should be noted how busy the restaurant was, yet how quiet the restaurant remained. The background music did not cause everyone to talk over each other. And the staff worked like a well-experienced team, stepping in to help each other while supporting all the guests. Definitely worth the wait.

We waited patiently for a year to get back to Buxton Munch as our first stop on the island. Plan was together there as soon as they opened, and take out our fish tacos ( which was trigger fish), and shrimp wrap to the beach before the crowd! So happy to see the owners didn’t retire, but instead chose to work longer to make their MANY customers happy!! That’s a rarity for sure! We knew we would have too much food for lunch, so we had it for dinner too! Perfect welcome to Hatteras Island. Thank you, Buxton Munch for providing a quality product in a lovely, decorative, quaint atmosphere. Never change a thing! Hope to see you next year!
