All the good things everybody says about Howard's are true. The crab cakes are really outstanding, and it's an easy walk from the airport even if you have a hard time getting in touch with them for a ride. Go here, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

We visited Ocracoke & Howard's Pub today (our first time). The staff @ Howard’s was very courteous. The food was good and we were impressed with how the transportation services were to/fro the airport/restaurant. Next time, we will just remember to bring our kite and two chairs for the beach :)!

Called just before shutting off engine I was picked up before I could have finished tie down the aircraft. Visited with family. Great place, nice atmosphere and exceptional food kids catered well. Beware that most of the wireless carrier do not have coverage on the Island. At the pub they were nice enough to let me use the phone for closing my flight plan and after 3 hours walk in the village they let me file a new one and get my WX update. Great stop. Thanks I will be back with friends.

I heard about Howard's Pub from a friend at work and decided to give them a try. We called them on the Ocracoke CTAF when we entered the pattern and they were there to pick us up a few minutes later. The food was really good and the staff was very friendly. Great atmosphere; we'll definitely be going back again.

7/2/07. We called Howard's Pub on 122.9 on final and they arrived 10 minutes later. Great folks and great food & atmosphere. The ride to the restaurant made walking the rest of the village within reach. Howard's agreed to give us a lift back after an hour of sightseeing. A 3-minute walk to the ocean from the ramp. Put Ocracoke & Howard's on your "must do" list. A+

My wife and I visited in our RV-8 today, we landed called Howard’s and with in less than 5min they were there picked us up and we had a great lunch. We then spent a great 1hr on the beach. I highly recommend W95 and Howard’s as a destination, and if you come from the North or south there really is not too much direct over the water flight.

Finding Ocracoke is easy with plenty of ramp space during the week but avoid afternoon thunderstorms. A deep beach is within walking distance but shared with 4-wheel drive trucks and camping/ hotel people. We were attacked by horse flies during the 0.6-mile walk to Howard's Pub; they graciously provided a return trip in an interesting 6-seat electric car. Howard's has really good seafood with generous portions, which alone is worth the visit to Ocracoke. Cellular AT&T and Sprint do not work on the island; so try Unicom, 122.9 to request a ride from Howard's. Next time, we will bring fold-up bicycles to access other beaches and the village.

Flew into W95 in a Mooney 8/26/06. Walked to Howard's, but it was too early in the day for them to be open. Walked a little further & rented 2 bikes for our day visit. On the way back to the airport late afternoon, Howard's was clearly a very popular place; we'll try it next time there. Airport is right next to the beach; met several people who had flown in to spend the day on the sand. The ramp parking was at a premium this particular weekend; those arriving after us had problems finding a spot. Facilities are sparse, and be ready for mosquito encounters in the grassy areas during the warmer months. A fun day trip we'll repeat.

This remains a fine place for the $100 crabcake (go out west for the hamburger). It's an easy walk from the airport - Howard's is on the main road into town, at the edge of town (you can almost make it out on the picture) - you may very well find you're in company with others who've flown in. W95 makes a great day trip (I came out of LFI) or a weekend on Okrakoke Island; nice out-of-the-way place, on the beach, excellent runway, 15 or more tiedowns.
