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 highly recommend reservations for any service. If we are able to accommodate walk-ins, we certainly will, 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.

#wasabimartini for #thirstythursday 🍸 Did you know this weekend marks 10 weeks we’ve been reopened? Your support is seriously everything to us 💚 ・・・ #repost 📸: @ameeinwanderland Cocktails @spoonrivernc . Good for when it’s hotter than this wasabi martini outside. I love telling everyone I can about this beautiful gem in Belhaven. The decor looks nothing short of gorgeous art installation & the food is guaranteed to blow you away every time. Not to mention they’ve just made a killer come back from Hurricane Florence. We love a resilient queen.

When you want ALL the appetizers. 😳 Not a sampler, but our #softshellcrab #oysters #shrimpsalad + #tunapoke #appetizers plated all together on a board. (You won’t find this as an option on our menu, but if you give us a heads up we may be able to recreate it for your party.) #ncseafood #eatlocal And just a reminder that we’re definitely not a “fast food” type of restaurant - we’re not just dinner in “dinner and a night out” - we’re the whole night. 😉 Sit back, relax, have a drink, and make some new memories with your favorite people! Of course we LOVE your pics + posts, but feel free to even put your phone down for a few, too!

Next time someone says “nothing’s open on Mondays 😩” remind them that WE ARE. 😉 (No reservations needed!) #flounder from Washington Crab + #microgreens as always from @locavoremarketgarden 🐟🌱🍽

We’ve got plenty of availability this weekend - come see us! ・・・ #repost 📸: @bennett2win_it ・・・ Eastern NC is kinda like the ends of the earth; not many people know, or get to experience it’s magic. There are certain places that are able to put the magic into practice for other people to see what they didn’t even know was there. @spoonrivernc is one of those places ✨
