THE ONLY RESTAURANT ON BOGUE BANKS WITH A VIEl'I OF THE OCEAN j.s The IRON
STEAMER, VJell, maybe everyone already knew that, but the thing is. The
Iron Steamer now has ii/iRY MITCHELL as its manager and Mary means magic in the
kitchen. VJe checked the menu on a recent breezy March morning and ordered
waffles and bacon, sipping hot coffee as v/e waited, and watching the foamy
sea roar around the pier,.,,The waffles were hot and crisp, and the bacon
the same, though their flavors were splendidly different. Mary has been in
the area for about nine years, and has been successful in food preparation
all that time; this is her first year at the Iron Steamer and I think we can
relax and enjoy...Dinner menu includes plenty of seafoods as well as steaks,
etc., and Mary told us about the breaded and fried clam strips that sound
really good (all seafoods are locally bought). She is especially proud of
her omelettes (we were too full of wonderful waffles to try one), and she
plans some tempting specials, like a Thursday roast beef dinner with two
vegetables, the first dinner will be at regular price and the second will be
offered for a dollar. You*11 be seeing her "all-you-can-eat-for-a-dollar"
pancake deals, too. Talking with Mary is neat, and GLORIA ELLIS, of
Barkers Island, who served us, is a person who really knows her craft, loves
