RECAP: If you didn’t start at the beginning of this blog series, then here is what’s up. We’re just a couple of self-proclaimed “foodies” eating our way through the villages of Hatteras Island. One of us cooks (the one who is not me), and I don’t mean he finds a Pinterest recipe and throws some stuff in a crockpot. I mean he’s a real cook that makes fancy things that...

For those of you who want to get a taste of the entire island, we’ve mapped out a “Small Course Crawl” one village at a time. We’ve led you through Hatteras and now we want to take you through Frisco.

Hatteras Sol Waterside Grill is one of the newer establishments in Hatteras Village…that is, of course, if you don’t include the years they ran the lovely little deli that once resided at Stowe on 12.
