Flying Melon

Wonderful meal. Highly recommend. Beet Salad With Mixed Greens, Red Onion, Avocado, Toasted House Made Blue Cheese Dressing Raw Local Oysters On The Half Shell Fried Green Tomatoes Topped With Shrimp Remoulade Locally caught Tilefish over risotto with a passion fruit beurre blanc sauce.

Grilled sea scallops wrapped in a bacon chiffonade, lounging in lemon beurre blanc, with collards so tender they could gossip with grandma. The Flying Melon on Ocracoke Island didn’t just serve dinner, they served perfection on a plate. 🐚🥓🍋” ✨

Went here to celebrate our kids 1st anniversary in October of 2025. We had a mix of the fresh fish flounder & drum specials with burre blanc sauce that were absolutely delicious. Then we decided to split the desserts - a strawberry cheesecake, chocolate torte & coffee creme brulee. Holy cow! We all agreed this was one of the best meals we've had in a restaurant in a long time!!

If you're looking for fine dining with down to earth country appeal, this is the place. If it's five people or more, they suggest reservations. Be ready to loosen the wallet a little, and feel good about it when the evening concludes. Flying Melon is a several course meal experience. The bar prepares well made mixed drinks. Fried green tomatoes on the apps list aren't to be missed. Fresh seafood selections are favorites, though the filet mignon choices are also delectable. Find room for dessert. The key lime pie and chocolate torte are especially decadent. As befits such an establishment, staff goes out of the way to bring a memorable evening. Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience in an unforgettable place.

We loved our meal and drinks. Great menu with fresh, local offerings. We sat outside at the picnic tables so we could bring our dog. They let us order inside and eat outside from to go boxes. Full menu was available to us. The service was fantastic and everyone was so friendly. *Pictured is the duck with strawberry gastrique and root vegetables*
