Poor Richards Sandwich Shop

We visited Manteo for a concert. We took the day after the concert to have lunch and explore the area. We picked this establishment for lunch based on online reviews. It came highly recommended and rightly so. Each member of our party thoroughly enjoyed our respective meals. I had the crabcake sandwich. I love all seafood! The sandwich was massive and tons of crabmeat! But I must say, my husband and friend ordered a special they had, dill pickled chicken sandwich I believe. It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. So much flavor and the breading on the chicken was super crispy. So much flavor in one sandwich. I was very surprised that I actually preferred that sandwich to my crabcake sandwich. I also posted here a picture of the fountain drink machine. I was so extremely pleased to see they had a separate fountain tap for just water. So many places have the water with the lemonade etc. You have to run the water to avoid having the main drink flavor come through. I only drink water and when the hint of flavor from other drinks comes through. You just can't imagine how happy this small feature made me. Also it felt the need to mention the bathroom. The paper towels provided in the dispenser were the best quality I have ever used in a public establishment. They were so thick it almost felt like cloth. And you only needed one to actually dry your hands. Seems like a funny thing to notice but if you ever use them you will understand. As I walked out I mentioned it to my friend and she said the exact same thing. I would highly recommend this establishment if you are in the area. Even worth traveling to Manteo to give it try. We ate on the deck on the water front. Had a great breeze and a beautiful view for a our amazing lunch.

If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would. You can’t go wrong here. Excellent crab sandwich yesterday that contained big chunks of crabmeat. It was so good that we came back today for a grilled cheese with clam chowder. Very nice restaurant and very reasonable. Definitely worth a visit!!

This shop/pub is really a fun time! The food part smells delicious and has a great menu that features Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses. The bar part is warmly lit and cozy it. The wood facade, dart board, and spacious seating all create a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend stopping here if you are hungry or want to grab a drink! 👍👍

With so many choices in the area, let alone in Manteo, we were fortunate to find Poor Richards. Not a huge menu, but what they offer is some good stuff! The rockfish wrap was delicious! Fish tasted fresh and the wrap was flavored well. The grilled knockwurth was also very good. We will have to go back and try the rest of the menu!
