Smoke on the Water

Overlooking the beautiful Cape Fear River, enjoy the view while you dine at Smoke on the Water. Open for dinner during the week and lunch on the Thursday through Sunday, their menu is filled with a delightful mix of seafood, smoked meats and special BBQ recipes that have a New Orleans flair. This restaurant is a feast for all your senses. Savor some of the best local brews, wine or craft cocktails on their back deck as you view spectacular sunsets. The dog friendly shaded deck, with a fire pit to warm the chillier evenings, opens onto a long deck that allows strolls over the marsh. Their website offers a drone video of the incredible scenery. Join them for special events like live music.
