I stopped at W95 on Oct 21 2009 on a pleasure flight of the outerbanks. I called Howard's Pub on 122.9 about 10 minutes out and they were waiting when I landed. We had a great lunch at Howard's and the ride back to the airport was just as prompt. I can't wait for a return trip to Ocracoke.

Happy to report the radio is back on line; call Howard's Pub on 122.9. Alltel and US Cellular have served Ocracoke for years, and Verizon has more recently upgraded to cover the island. Ferry service to and from Ocracoke is suffering from budget cuts, so enjoy the luxury of flying in for lunch or dinner or just a walk on the beach.

Had a great Father's Day weekend. First time, but Howard's A/C Radio is not in service, but was able to call them via cell phone. Only Verizon seems to work. They were out within 5 minutes to pick us up and we had a great lunch. We walked the village and they took us back so we could enjoy the beach. Also, if you ever have any "battery" issues, call Jesse at Beach Towing, he has a battery cart to give you a jump....

I have flown a Piper Dakota to Ocracoke many times, and it is a great day excursion. There is the beach nearby, and there are bikes to rent. Howard's is good, and the people are interesting (and nice). YOU MUST BRING INSECT REPELLANT, or you will regret it. These are the biggest mosquitoes in the world...

Folks from Howard's Pub picked us up rapidly after we phoned from the airport. They did not get my call on 122.9, but everything worked out great. Good food and service. The shelter at the airport has been completed. My Verizon phone (in Roaming Mode) worked at the airport and even better in town.

I don't mean to be the contrarian to the other reviews, but I need to voice my opinion. I have been to Howard’s about 5-6 times in the last couple of years. They are super convenient to the airport, and come out to pick you up promptly. The people picking us up have always been really nice. But the last few times I have been there, they have been problems with the promptness of the wait staff, to food preparation problems, and problems with advertised pricing. The last two times I have been there, the people I took there were not pleased. In the future, I plan on walking the 1/2-mile down the road, renting a bike, and going to some of the establishments down the road. I also get a little irked paying nearly $20 a pound for shrimp, and it cost extra to get hushpuppies, bread, or fries. On the positive side, there will be no other place on the island to get alcohol like you can at Howard’s, although I never get to drink since I'm the pilot.

Howard's Pub is THE place to eat. Quick pick up in the golf cart, great service and the food outstanding. There are no services at the airport as stated. There is a new shelter/hut under construction so you can eventually wait in the shade. It was a nice ending to our four days in Nags Head, we'll be back to stay in Ocracoke on our next trip.

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.
