WOW! This is the best kept secret! Fabulous local food! The place is cute and squeaky clean. The staff are warm and bright. I enjoyed this wonderful meal so much! I’m still jonzing for that Hatteras style clam chowder. Those cotton candy carrots. And that Amazingly unique coleslaw! I don’t even like coleslaw! Now, I’m gonna have to come back!

Food here is really good. I got the steak sub with hush puppies and the serving was more than I could eat. Hamburgers are good too. It was worth what I paid for it so I will be back!

We were just passing through from the Cedar Island ferry, but I’m glad I found this place on Google Maps. Friendly service, fresh seafood with excellent preparation, and good value for the money. It fit the bill for what we needed perfectly

A small town gem! Paddy’s was recommended by the Okracoke ferry check-in lady so we went. Outside could use a bigger Paddy’s sign, but inside was really nice and clean. We were warmly welcomed and the great shrimp baskets arrived quickly. Our server was very friendly and professional. Hush puppies were delicious.
We weren’t expecting much, but had an excellent experience. Stop by if you are in Sea Level.

Shrimp basket and oyster basket was our order, with slaw, hushpuppies, tater tots and okra.
The food was light, fresh, and delicious. Service was great.

The restaurant is beautiful, the seating is comfortable. I’ve had to the calm chowder, the oyster basket and the flounder burger. Everything has been wonderful so far.

Paddy’s has the potential to be better. Their waitstaff was very helpful and accommodating. Their menu offers a reasonable variety of dishes, although they lean toward fried foods. Judging from the nothing but 5 stars reviews, the locals are either abundantly satisfied with the menu or know the restaurant operators and don’t want to offend them. If it’s the former, Paddy’s should stick to what they’re doing because they’re obviously satisfying the regulars. However, if they’re not getting enough repeat customers they may want to be more adventurous with their dishes and the ingredients in them, and also focus more on presentation. I’m a good, but not great cook, but know I can make dishes that taste better than what I had at Paddy’s, and it’s probably because I use a variety of ingredients, rather than anything to do with skill. Also, based on their waterside location, I thought that there was a chance they might have a water view, but they don’t. I don’t know what’s going on with the land between their restaurant and the water, but if a picture window or expansion of the restaurant ever becomes financially feasible it would make for a more special dining experience.
