What Sets Basnight’s Lone Cedar Cafe Apart

Basnight’s Lone Cedar Café, a family owned and operated restaurant, is committed to serving the freshest Outer Banks seafood caught only in North Carolina waters. At Basnight’s Lone Cedar Café, you won’t find any frozen imported or farm-raised seafood of any kind. Nor will you find any frozen meats or canned vegetables stored in chemical preservatives or mass-produced desserts.

Here’s what you will find at the Lone Cedar...

• The best fresh-caught fish, clams, crab, shrimp and oysters—hand-selected by our fish monger and cleaned on premise in our fish-cleaning building.  We even shed our own soft crabs in season.
