Buxton Munch

$$

This casual lunch spot, tucked away in a strip center, has been going strong for 25 years, specializing in fish and shrimp tacos, wraps, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. There's nothing fancy here, but prices are reasonable, and there may be a line at peak times.

Oceana's Bistro

$$$

Look for a roadside aquamarine horse painted with starfish and coral to find this long-established, welcoming spot to get local seafood, pasta, or a wrap. Daily specials range from prime rib to tacos and grillers, a cross between a pizza and a quesadilla that's topped with tuna, crab, chicken, or veggies. The bistro has a full bar and a good selection of local beers to wash it all down with, and they stay open year-round for lunch and dinner (seasonally for breakfast).
