📍Manteo, NC🍦🎣
It’s hard to believe that in just a few months, this town and boardwalk will look completely different. Fishing lines in the water and giggling kids with drippy ice cream cones. Farmers markets and concerts. Biking to shops and restaurants or simply talking a walk through town to enjoy the views. It is small-town magic at it’s finest and we can’t wait to share it with you!

🫧 Bubbles Up is a new construction vacation rental with a private pool, hot tub, four master bedrooms, and access to Currituck Club amenities. This home accommodates 14 guests and is absolutely stunning. Be sure to book early for the best availability.

CHICKEN KATSU SANDWICH: Crispy Meets Saucy with a Kick
This isn’t just a sandwich; it’s a crunchy, tangy, flavor-loaded masterpiece.
Our Chicken Katsu Sandwich starts with crispy, panko-crusted chicken that’s fried to golden perfection. Then we pile on pickled veggies, chili-marinated cucumbers, and a swipe of spicy sriracha mayo. To finish it off? A generous drizzle of rich, savory tonkatsu sauce that ties it all together.
Served with your choice of chips & salsa or golden fries.
Bold, satisfying, and just a little spicy.
