Brantley's Village Restaurant |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brantley's Village
Restaurant may be one of the most interesting stories in Oriental. The
Normans owned this restaurant in 1978 and cooked delicious meals for folks
for about 15 years. Well, they're back — Brantley Jr., Brantley Sr. and Ms.
Sil reopened the family -style restaurant about a year ago and are holding
true to their motto: Good food, good price, good service. No alcoholic
beverages — this is truly a family restaurant. Among the many reasons to
love this restaurant are their special entree nights. On Saturday evening,
enjoy an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet with shrimp, oysters, flounder, bay
scallops, clam strips, deviled crabs and an array of vegetables with drink
and dessert for $15.95. On Tuesday night, try all-you-can-eat fried chicken
with two vegetables for $7.95. On Sunday, the restaurant serves a buffet
offering a choice of two meats and two seafoods with lots of vegetables,
yeast rolls, one trip to the 20-item salad bar and choice of dessert (sheet
cake, banana pudding or homemade cobbler) and beverage for $10.95. Other
specials are offered nightly. Be sure to try the homemade soups, all made by
Ms. Sil, the matriarch of the restaurant. Ms. Sil also bakes the chocolate,
lemon and coconut meringue pies. The restaurant is open year round. Hours
are Monday through Thursday 7 AM to 8:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 7 AM until
9 PM and Sunday 11 AM until 3 PM. Brantley's has a large banquet room for
meetings, parties or family gatherings. |

Oriental Harbor
Deli & Bistro |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Located in the Oriental Harbor Marina complex,
the deli offers gorgeous outdoor dining under shady umbrellas overlooking
the 120-slip marina. It's open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Fresh seafood, juicy steaks and lunch specials make this eatery a
favorite of boaters and locals alike. Can't take time to eat? The deli will
pack up its freshly cut meats, salads, muffins and meals to go. An inside
seating area is perfect on those few inclement days. Wayne Lamm will also
cater your party on the deck and arrange entertainment, including
spectacular sunsets.

Oriental Steamer
Restaurant and Tavern |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One of
Oriental's long-time favorite chefs, Chef Jeff Tomczak continues to please
his customers with interesting specials and old-time favorites. Many
residents still remember the wood stove in the historic brick hardware store
where the restaurant is located. The seafood couldn't be fresher, and the
Seafood Nirvana is just that. This restaurant is open for dinner nightly,
and lunch on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We recommend the pasta dishes
and the homemade desserts. A full-service bar and live entertainment in
season keep the customers coming back. It's also available for large
parties, monthly Rotary meetings and bridge club luncheons. |

place. Owner Eric Stickrath is carrying on the tradition providing casual
lunches and dinners. Outdoor cafe tables and indoor seating provide
comfortable dining, and take-out is available. Scoots is open on Sunday from
11 AM to 7 PM and on Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM. (This may

Toucan Grill & Fresh
Bar |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Toucan
Grill & Fresh Bar gives diners the option to eat indoors in the spacious and
attractively decorated dining room or outside on the deck enjoying cooling
breezes and views of the water. The menu is appropriate for a restaurant
located in a fishing village. Seafood dishes offered as either appetizers or
entrees include clam chowder, cold shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, fish &
chips, fried shrimp and more. Try the steamed platter with cherrystone
clams, mussels, shrimp and a crab claw or a Boatman's stew, an old
fisherman's tradition, cooked in a light broth with potatoes and a variety
of fish of the day. The restaurant always serves locally caught shrimp.
Those with a yearning for something other than seafood should consider the
hot buffalo wings, rib eye steaks cut to order, and full and half racks of
barbecue ribs. There are specials every night. If you've got room after
eating the restaurant's generous portions, consider the variety of homemade
desserts, appropriate for the season. Toucan Grill & Fresh Bar has full ABC
permits and features special nights, such as men's night (Monday) and
ladies' night (Wednesday) that offer complimentary hors d'oeuvres. Toucan
Grill is open daily; call for seasonal hours. |
