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!

This weekend marks seven months since #HurricaneFlorence and we’re finally REOPENING SATURDAY!!! This is not a drill! 🙌🏽 Saturday night + Sunday brunch will be ʀᴇsᴇʀᴠᴀᴛɪᴏɴs ᴏɴʟʏ and as always, reservations can be made by texting 252.945.3899 📲 Seating will be limited this weekend. We do have two requests as we get back into the swing of things: Please be aware + understanding as we work out the kinks of our new space, equipment, and staff (we’ll certainly be rusty after all this time) and please allow Teresa these last few days to wrap up the final details, without distraction. It took three years to open Spoon River originally in 2012 (after Hurricane Irene hit in 2011), so while familiar, it still feels extraordinarily different this time. We are forever grateful for all the kind words + encouragement since the storm, and we are sᴏ ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴅ to see all your faces back in the restaurant! (And don’t miss #BelhavensGotStyle at 4pm Saturday!)

Part of our exterior got a #dark + #dramatic revamp today... 🖤🖤🖤 An April Fools joke would just be cruel at this point, so we’re going with progress pics instead. (Swipe for a ‘before’). Also #notanaprilfoolsjoke is the new structural issues that popped up when we tried that practice run dinner. 😬 This is why we’re easing back into this cautiously, we’re STILL finding out about damage - even after already overhauling the plumbing and pipes. The logistics of what it’s takes for a commercial kitchen to operate fully, in a building this old, are maddening. But we’re almost there! #thecomeback #comingsoon #spoonrivernc #carolinastrong #visitbelhaven #exteriordesign
