Played golf, walked, shopped and feeling hungry? You will be pleasantly surprised at the number and quality of cuisine found in the Sandhills. For your dining pleasure there is Th ai, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Japanese and lots of great steak houses and seafood. Some fine steaks can be found at Southern Prime Steakhouse and the famous Outback (see ads). The area has sports bars such as The Lake House in Seven Lakes, Hickory Tavern, Too Blonde Tavern and Maxies, all in Pinehurst.

I’ve eaten some of the best North Carolina oysters at Shuckers Oyster Bar and Grill. North Carolinians will tell you that oysters from North Carolina are better and meatier than those from South Carolina. They seem to be correct on that issue. You be the judge! Th ai food in Pinehurst’s in Th ai Basil restaurant is outstanding. Enjoy authentic Thai, organic fusion sushi and hibachi. Th ai Basil boasts of using the best grade of fish in town. Try it. Fine dining with boarding can be found in the Magnolia Inn and the Pine Crest Inn, old places with history and modern conveniences without losing the old 1800’s, early 1900’s architecture and flavor.
