Restaurant Guide

There are many restaurants within ten minutes of The Inn. This guide is not based on our experiences at the local restaurants, we have not had a chance to dine at most places in the area and it would not be fair for us to try and rate restaurants that we have not dined at.

Generally speaking all places allow smart casual, especially in the summer.

Please note that most restaurants in Spring Lake do not have a liquor license, thus you must bring your own wine, beer or champagne. These restaurants are identified as BYOB. When contacting a restaurant always verify if they have a license.

The first group of restaurants are within walking distance to our inn. All are in Spring Lake except for the Parker House. Please click on the name to take you directly to the web site to get the most accurate idea of the restaurant and their menu selections. Please note that a few restaurants are seasonal and only operate during the summer.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no longer a restaurant inside the Sandpiper Inn.
