The Roadside Competitors

Since 1958, guests have enjoyed Village Inn's great-tasting food and extra-friendly service. Our breakfast heritage is based on made-from-scratch buttermilk pancakes, eggs cooked any style and a pot of hot coffee on every table.

Every town has their local coffee shop. On the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Front Porch Cafe is that spot. Established in 1999, Front Porch Cafe came into being for one simple reason… People needed a good cup of coffee on the Outer Banks. Front Porch Cafe was founded in 1999 and was the first small batch roasted coffee shop on the Outer Banks. It truly began as a passion project and for a love of coffee! In order to provide the best cup of coffee, we knew we had to roast our own coffee beans in house- controlling the process each step of the way to ensure nothing but the best for the Outer Banks. As the locals and tourists alike fell in love with our coffee, Front Porch Cafe expanded into three locations which serve thousands of customers every year. Our coffee is sold in local stores throughout the beach and is exclusively used at many restaurants and coffee shops. You can even find our coffee in local Food Lion grocery stores! Now open for over twenty years, Front Porch Cafe has been serving the Outer Banks community and our beloved tourists in a welcoming atmosphere! Not only do we have a passion for our coffee we also have a passion for our community and the world we live in. Front Porch Cafe embodies a love of the earth and the people in it, focusing on sustainable, earth friendly, and humane growing practices. We source our coffees from small independent farmers throughout the world, focusing on sustainability and the use of organic farming techniques wherever possible. We have also incorporated bio-degradable and recycled materials into our stores, including our cups and straws. Truly a staple of the community, Front Porch continually volunteers for events, donates to local causes, and raises money for charities, focusing on improving the tight knit community of the Outer Banks. When you visit Front Porch you will feel like family!

Located in the historic Lighthouse Cove Resort, Seaside Grill was opened in the fall of 2011 by Owner Bret Hughes. Our vision is to create a fun and casual dining atmosphere on the beautiful Atlantic Shores of Pompano Beach. We serve wonderful and original seafood specials along with other delicious Floridian fare. Call us biased, but we think Seaside Grill is the perfect place to host your events or simply a great place to cheer on the Dolphins (or Steelers!) while chugging frosty brew.. Our beautiful beach side view couples perfectly with our various food offerings to give your event what it needs to impress any attendees. Fresh seafood, ocean views and frosty cocktails...come and experience what everyone is talking about.
