Welcome

Spoon River is a farm-to-fork style restaurant located in historic downtown Belhaven, NC.  It is situated just steps away from the Pungo River, leading to the Pamlico Sound, in an area known as North Carolina's Inner Banks.

Our goal is to source as much of our menu locally and from the state of North Carolina as possible.  This includes everything from seafood to herbs to vodka. 

Our mission is to serve artful food and drinks in a unique environment.

We happily welcome boaters en route along the east coast, as well as those boating from local Beaufort and Hyde Counties, and other surrounding areas.  Whether coming by land or by sea, we will be sure to give you an artful experience with southern hospitality!

***Please be advised:

Although reservations are not always required, we recommend reservations for any service, especially weekend dinners. If we are able to accommodate walk-ins, we certainly will (we usually can!), but occasionally we do fill to capacity and can only allow seating for reserved tables. (We also appreciate reservations for our planning, prep and staffing.) Reservations can best be made by texting 252.945.3899 with: 1. name 2. date + time 3. number of people in the party. It may take up to 24 hours for a confirmation from us, but please feel free to text again if you don’t hear back by then.

Just to clarify yesterday’s post, we don’t need generators or gas (or any help at all really), we were just explaining why we couldn’t immediately reopen this weekend. Our gas tanks (that we need to cook with) were removed as a precaution, but we also didn’t order a ton of food last week bc we didn’t want it to be wasted if the storm had been worse. We are planning to have everything back up and running and open for business Monday night for dinner! We do ask - if you’d like to help - please help our friends in Ocracoke and the rest of the Outer Banks instead! 💔 If you know of ways to support the efforts and folks out there, please add links and info in the comments for others to reference. Thanks y’all! #carolinastrong #ocracokestrong #outerbanks #welovenc #easternnc #coastalnc #hurricanedorian #ocracoke #capehatteras #belhavennc

***HOWEVER we are being powered by our generator and have no gas, so it will probably be Monday night before we can reopen. We apologize for any inconvenience and to those of you who had reservations for this weekend. Glad to see our little town survived this thing quite well! Our thoughts are with our not-so-lucky friends on Ocracoke and the Outer Banks at this time. #hurricanedorian #easternnc #belhavennc

We’re calling it. Closing to clear out the restaurant and get everything secured ahead of Dorian. We’re hopeful this storm won’t be too severe and we’ll be able to reopen Saturday night. Y’all stay safe. And donate to recovery efforts in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 (photo by @kacypleasants) #hurricanedorian #hurricanealley #hurricaneseason2019 #easternnc #belhavennc #spoonrivernc

So what do y’all think this storm’s going to do?? We’re not quite ready to face it yet, so we’re still undecided on closing. The water has been high for days in #BelhavenNC due to the king tide (and seems to be getting higher?) so rightfully we’re a little worried. We do have a more organized and smarter hurricane plan this year, we just pray it won’t come to that. If you’re feeling optimistic, you are more than welcome to text reservations for this weekend - we hope to be able to serve you - but just know that if we close, it was out of our hands and we absolutely had to. We’ll post if/when we decide to shut down, so stay tuned. (We are closed today though, as we are every Tuesday) #hurricanealley #easternnc #coastalnc #lovewhereyoulive #southernliving #ncfoodfinds #ncfoodies #welovenc #hurricaneseason #hurricanedorian
