Hungry Pelican Best Deli Sandwich
No expense is spared in bringing the best deli sandwiches to the Outer Banks. We exclusively use Dietz and Watson "Healthier Lifestyle" meats. These meats are low in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar. They exceed USDA guidelines for deli meats. Combine that with out cheese selection and fresh baked breads and you have the best deli sandwich possible. All of our salads are made to order using vegetables that are cut daily and every salad dressing is made from scratch. Soups, side dishes and desserts are also homemade. This truly sets Hungry Pelican apart from other restaurants. We will ensure that you have a pleasant and memorable dining experience.
Last summer, 100% of first time customers said they would eat here again. This is the second year in a row!
