Waves Market

Visited Waves Market and Deli yesterday. This place is take out only so you will have to eat it someplace else. This is a great little store in the village of Salvo. They have a great hey selection and all of the necessities you could need. The hidden gem is the Deli. The reviews are spot on. The sandwiches and burritos are very good and packed! We got the Wake and Bake, the Breakfast Sandwich and the Chicken Burrito.

If you don’t know, you must go! Best food on the island. I live for their chicken salad! One time we went camping and only ate it for the WHOLE WEEK…2.15 pounds Did us good! Plus,they carry a huge selection of beer, chips and other cool merch you can’t live without. Bring your quarters cause they have pinball!!!!!!!!

If your not going to Waves Market in the Rodanthe/Waves/Salvo area you are missing the coolest market. Not just in the area, anywhere. I would love to have a place like this in my town.
Great place to get beer or wine. They have a massive variety.
You can load up on snacks, grab some Boar's Head meat and cheese, or some souvenirs.
However, do not pass up the food here. This is a hidden gem. Everything I've had here was amazing. The last time I was in the area I ate here at least five times. The breakfast burritos are the best around.
The staff is also super cool and chill. They have always been friendly and easy to strike up a conversation. Would give 10 stars.

Waves is the type of place you can only hope to find on every vacation. When your sandwich is wrapped in butcher paper, you know something tasty is on the way. These aren't mere sandwiches; These are meals. Ate there for two mornings on a three night trip and then got one for the ride home. Taylor pork roll is always nice to see as an option. And they pile it on. We got the Granny Peggy for the road and split it: Turkey, brie, apple, roasted red pepper aioli.

Wife and I arrived late on the island and found this market and deli open at 9:30 pm, and didn't expect to be able to order food, but they were still taking orders, and all I can say is WOW!!!
There was what seemed like unlimited fresh and hot, hand-cut fries and hot onion rings in our order. We ordered the Nancy Jean and Dino Bravo sandwiches and they were huge, and delicious.
The staff was super friendly, and very helpful. The store was neat and they had a gigantic selection of beer and wine, as well as unique gifts. We highly recommend this spot for your late-night cravings.
