Sugarloaf Island Deli & Yellowfin Pub

Located at 501 Evans Street on the bustling Morehead City waterfront, Sugarloaf Island Deli & Yellowfin Pub sits beside the Sanitary Fish Market, offering diners a perfect blend of fresh local seafood, premium meats, and handcrafted drinks. The airy dining room features reclaimed wood tables, nautical décor, and floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the Atlantic tide, creating a relaxed Southern atmosphere ideal for both families and after‑work crowds. Signature starters include Stephanie’s Creamy Crab Dip served with warm lavash, vibrant Tuna Poki Nachos topped with yellowfin sashimi and avocado pico, and the indulgent Chorizo Chili Loaded Cheese Fries smothered in applewood‑smoked bacon, cheddar, garlic, and jalapeños. Pizza lovers can savor the Margherita Flatbread drizzled with sweet balsamic glaze, while burger enthusiasts gravitate toward the Smokehouse Burger—half‑pound chuck, pulled pastrami, cheddar, and onion rings on a buttered ciabatta—alongside the Bacon Pimento Cheeseburger and the spicy Chorizo Chili Cheeseburger. The bar showcases a rotating selection of local craft beers, crisp white wines, and inventive cocktails such as the “Coastal Breeze” made with fresh citrus and a splash of rum. Though the menu evolves with the season, prices remain moderate, typically ranging from $8 for appetizers to $15 for specialty burgers. The friendly staff welcomes guests from sunrise brunches to sunset drinks, making it a go‑to spot after a day at Shackleford Banks or a leisurely stroll along the pier. Whether you’re hunting a quick bite or a leisurely waterfront dinner, Sugarloaf Island Deli & Yellowfin Pub delivers a memorable taste of coastal North Carolina.
