What a delightfully artsy setting with a charming hostess! Add the delicious sandwiches and boards - this place is an absolute winner. Food is ultra fresh and creative in generous portions. Our children's recommendations of this place were right!

My wife and I ordered the Kill Devil Hills and the Duck sandwiches for take-out supper. Both were excellent and very filling. SC also has an excellent selection of wines.Our son and daughter-in-law both highly recommended this neat place to us-- and they were right.We highly recommend this slightly hidden jewel along the west side of highway in Kitty Hawk to anyone who wants an excellent lunch or supper!

I’m so impressed by the quality of what Leslie Rorrer, the owner of Sophisticated Charcuterie does at her shop. I’ve been here several times and it’s always so, so good! This visit I had the French Dip, aka, The Duck sandwich, and it was incredible! So fresh and delicious! You could literally taste the love that she clearly puts into everything she does there 💝! Treat yourself sometime to one of her awesome creations. She also has awesome wines, cheeses, sweet treats, and many other fantastic offerings!

Leslie and Sophisticated Charcuterie have become my go-to every time I am in Kitty Hawk. Her boards are above and beyond any I have ever had. And her wine pairings are out of this world. She is always available for a quick lesson on where everything is from and what goes best together. Give her a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

So glad to have found Leslie’s shop! The thoughtfully curated selection of wines and cheeses is upscale, interesting, and varied, and the sandwiches are outstanding. I’ve always brought wines with me when coming to OBX, but now I’ll skip that as an excuse to visit Sophisticated Charcuterie.

Just the perfect place with an incredible owner who serves incredibly delicious, high-quality food (and has the best assortment of cheeses I've ever seen). My wife and I were looking for a quick bite to eat before golf and decided upon sandwiches. We were so lucky to find this hidden gem - it couldn't be more highly recommended. The "Duck" (French Dip) was the best I've ever had, and it's not really close. Au jus and onions from the French onion soup topped on delicious beef, high-quality Gruyere cheese, and a delicious French baguette. 5+++ stars.

I can always count on Leslie on the most delicious sandwiches…EVERYTIME!!! Most recently, I ordered the chocolate truffle brownies, and they were so decadent and so rich, I wish I had bought more! Her boards and wine selection are always a treat too! Thank you Leslie for helping out with turning your sandwiches, French onion soup, and spinach & artichoke dip into a meal for my family! We loved it all!!

What a gem to have in Kitty Hawk! Leslie is the epitome of passion and it shows in her food, shop cleanliness and customer service! Her shop is so much more than incredible high-end charcuterie! The sandwiches are fresh and simply THE best in town! We tried the new pimento cheese sliders (made with Imperial Buck Cheddar which is divine on its own!) today and they were fantastic! Nothing like that crap grocery store nonsense! We also tried her French Dip sandwich which has caramelized onions from her fabulous French Onion Soup. My husband is a French Dip snob and said this was "the best one I've ever had!" Do yourself a favor and check this place out! You can also enjoy a beautiful wine offering and/or local beer in her lovely secluded outdoor area! We are so grateful to have her in our neighborhood!

This place is a gem! Leslie was so kind, welcoming and helpful. We got three sandwiches all of which were phenomenal and some wine and cheeses to go as well. She even had a specialty cheese from the Basque region of Spain that my wife loves. Definitely worth the stop as this place won't be a secret for long!!

We ordered the charcuterie tray for 5-6 people and were delighted with it! Excellent selection of meats & cheeses, a delicious assortment of fruits & olives, plus homemade fig jam and honey from the owner’s bees. The tray was beautifully presented, bountiful, and delicious. Ordering and pick up was simple and easy. We look forward to ordering again on our next trip to OBX!

Outstanding!! Ordered the Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious! From the fresh baguettes to the house made meats and aoli’s , the best I’ve ever had! Leslie also has an interesting assortment of wines to go with your order. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by you, will not be disappointed. Only wish I found her before my last day visiting.

Sophisticated Chacuterie is just THAT, sophisticated! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about all the meats and cheeses as well as spends the time explaining each to you. We walked into the store unannounced and she greeted us with a smile, stopped what she was doing and eagerly assisted us with making the best charcuterie board for our group! Our board was promised to be ready the next day by 1 pm and it was completed early which was a great surprise! Before picking up our board I asked if we could also grab a couple sandwiches and she graciously obliged! The sandwiches are amazing! We had a caprese and turkey with avocado- the homemade ingredients and care that are put into those deliciously tasting sandwiches are amazing!! I highly recommend Sophisticated Charcuterie for all your charcuterie board and sandwich needs in OBX! - Rachel and Jason 7/11/24

What a fantastic place! The food is always fresh and never from a grocery store. Leslie offers an excellent selection of wine and cheese. My favorite is the Nags Head sandwich. The Tuesday wine tastings are always enjoyable. I highly recommend stopping by and checking out her charming shop!

BEST SANDWICHES IN OBX!! By far the most delicious sandwiches I have had in OBX. Leslie uses the best ingredients, the Kitty Hawk is my favorite. The turkey breast and brie with avocado is simply amazing. These aren’t your average grocery store ingredients, she takes the time to select only the best available. Definitely worth the stop to get something to eat while you’re in the OBX!!!

We just had another amazing lunch at Sophisticated Charcuterie. The Kitty Hawk sandwich is big enough for 2 and a bottle of wine was perfect for sitting outside on the beautiful day.

Best OBX wine shop! I have purchased many wines here. I always take the owners recommendations for moderately priced Pinot Noir and they're always perfect. Her charcuterie boards are gorgeous, I ordered one for a girls weekend and it was fantastic.

I have visited Sophisticated Charcuterie on 3 separate visits to the Outer Banks since last fall. The owner, Leslie, is so welcoming and friendly. The sandwiches and charcuterie boards are amazing! Leslie loves to teach you about all the foods she prepares & she uses top quality high end products for her sandwiches and charcuterie boards . I hope to attend one of the Tuesday wine tasting events this summer on my next trip to OBX. Highly recommend!

Great affordable wine, cheese, and food options. Simply the best of the beach. Sandwiches are outstanding. Wine tastings on Tuesdays are well worth it.

This morning, I accidentally turned into Sophisticated Charcuterie’s lot, while on vacation in the OBX. My boyfriend and I love charcuterie and the shop was open, so we decided we would love to check it out before breakfast on our way into town. Before I fully stepped out of our car, I was immediately disturbed by a woman opening the door and rudely screaming, “YOU CAN NOT PARK HERE. WE TOW.” We were shocked, so my boyfriend responded by telling her we were going to leave. She again screamed, “WE ARE NOT AN OVERFLOW LOT FOR NEXT DOOR,” and slammed the door. No one should talk like this to customers, potential customers, or people in general. I have never experienced this behavior at any establishment in the OBX, in my past 20 years of visiting these beaches. Do not come to this shop unless you want to be “greeted” with anger and hostility.Response to owner:I’m saddened to see a response like this, especially online. I wish you the best with your business!

Leslie is not only passionate about what she does, but also extremely knowledgeable about all the amazing product she sells & provides for tastings! The inspection rating is 100%, the charcuterie is cut & arranged on the same day it’s ordered for, so it’s super fresh! The wine & beer selection tastes wonderful and the presentation is beautiful- perfect for a day at the beach, brunch or a cozy evening in. There’s also a nice lawn area for hanging out with fire pits, picnic benches, and corn hole, and you can order sandwiches on warm fresh French baguette to go! Highly recommend!!!

Wow what a beautiful experience. Visiting from Europe it was such a pleasure finding Leslie’s place with an outstanding selection of many of the great wines we know from back home and a fantastic selection of cheese. Highly recommendable.

Leslie is the best. Her knowledge of wine and cheese is the best in the area. I'm so happy we found her! Best charcuterie on the beach!!!! And that Kill Devil Hills sandwich is outstanding..... Wine Tastings on Tuesday's are a blast.

When we first moved to the Island, we saw Leslie's 'Wine Tastings' sign and reached out to set up a tasting with some new friends. We had a blast sipping and learning about the wines from her. We've come back for several tastings and boards, bringing more family and friends with us. There is no doubt Leslie's knowledge of the wine, meats and cheese is first class and her industry experience is well known. We routinely take Leslie's fantastic sandwiches to the beach for lunch and her shop is spotless!! Check out her continual 100's from the HD!! Her wine selection is great and as she says, 'you don't have to spend a lot for good wine'!! 5 Stars!!!Gary/Nancy

We had an amazing experience with Leslie at Sophisticated Charcuterie. She answered all our questions about the different types of cheese, their flavor profiles, as well as which meats and wines paired well with our selection. The board was incredible from the presentation to the taste. She reached out afterwards to see how we enjoyed the board. Overall, we highly recommend Sophisticated Charcuterie!

This hidden gem is amazing. OBX needs more places like this. You MUST get one of her sandwiches or boards when you're in the OBX. it is more than worth the price. The charcuterie she makes is better than can be found in most large cities. Just set it out and snack all day.All of her products are top notch, and in season. She's constantly improving and rotating products. But not to worry, everything is delicious and high quality due to her high standards coming from an extensive culinary background. The website is always current with the available selections.And the wine selection is incredible, with prices that will please anyone.There is no other store on the OBX that matches this place. I've tried them all. Trust yourself and your family with a trip to this store!

A great source of food for a family get-together. We ordered the Duck board for 6 adults, one hungry teen who eats more than most adults, and 2 children. The food was great and we had lots of leftovers. I couldn't remember what everything was and the owner texted us a list of all of the meats and cheeses we ordered. The fruit was fresh. Highly recommended for a no fuss family meal on the outer banks.

This place is the bomb! Leslie has a TON of knowledge and her access to the right suppliers make her shop THE place to go when you’re visiting the Outer Banks and looking for charcuterie. Dozens of meats, cheeses, wines, soft drinks and more. She knows which wine pairings will set off your charcuterie board and make it pop, and she’s a genuinely nice person. Great food is available as well: she makes some of the best sandwiches on the OBX. I had a wonderful time and learned a lot! A chance stop-by turned into three visits over the course of two weeks. Thanks for everything, Leslie, and we’ll see you in the spring when we return. 🙂👍🏻

The #1 hidden gem in OBX! The perfect place to get together with friends. Great rainy day activity! Leslie was very welcoming and so knowledgeable. She had a variety of wines that were some of the best I have had. Such good charcuterie -try the blue cheese and sparkling rosé!

Had the amazing KDH sandwich today, and my friend and I split a delicious pinot Grigio. Love the house made aioli. Leslie was gracious, as usual, and made sure we were well taken care of. Sat inside since the wind was galing. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

We loved our board, sandwiches, and wine from Sophisticated Charcuterie! Leslie was excellent to work with - considerate of allergies, communicated with us about our orders, and educated us about her passion. Her knowledge and selection of exceptional ingredients sets her well above the rest. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and wine on our next visit!

Delicious and beautiful! Everything was super fresh and yummy! Owner was very helpful in helping me pick out my cheeses and explaining what different items were. I had not heard of a lot of it. ???? She even checked with me after pick up to make sure I enjoyed my purchase. Will use ahainthe next time we come to the Outer Banks! Highly recommend!

Friendly, super knowledgeable owner who took her time with us and obviously has a passion for her work! She carries an amazing selection of award-winning cheeses and meats as well as wines and other fine items! I highly recommend using Sophisticated Charcuterie for all your party tray or rental house welcoming needs! Talk about making a great impression! This is definitely a crowd pleaser and an all-around favorite! The store is conveniently located in Kitty Hawk and they have a great online ordering system as well. We are so pleased we found this gem of an establishment! ❤️

One word: YUM!I am a big fan of charcuterie boards and have made quite a few myself and will say there is nothing like Leslies from Sophisticate Charcuterie! The meats and cheeses she uses are top tier and the boards are absolutely gorgeous too.P.S. the sandwiches are definitely a hidden secret of OBX!

What a great find! We had a group of 4 so we tried all of the sandwiches and shared. Leslie was able to easily modify the Brie LT to be vegetarian for one of us. Thanks! My absolute favorite was the KDH. The ham really was fantastic. The Peach Black Tea was good too. You could actually taste the peach. We can’t wait to see what she’s cooking up next.

My partner and I just went in to see Leslie for the first time. We have heard from other locals that she is amazing and very knowledgeable about her craft! We went in to talk to her and pick her brain about charcuterie boards and she gave us some samples and changed our mind on some things (the things being blue cheese!) Leslie is super sweet and super fun to talk to! She serves QUALITY food and provides only the best for her customers! From the wine, the cheese, and the meats! She was talking to us about her garden that she has at home and how she has fruit trees and is starting to grow her own vegetables and how next season she’ll be able to sell her own honey from her honeybees! The board that we chose was PERFECT! Everyone in the family loved it and there was a smile on everyone’s face. I’m super excited to grab another board from her! Such a personable person and just a sweet human being!!! THANK YOU LESLIE!!

Leslie does an amazing job! Long time Tider with lots of experience in food business. She makes a lot of her own cheeses and more for her boards. You can pick what you want on the board but trust me , let the expert do what she does best. Had a board yesterday, $100 told her , You make it. We had our Easter family dinner yesterday up in Duck. Everyone was blown away. What a wonderful experience and absolutely no question, my Go To place on the island! Even Bodie says, give me more!

Stopped in today for the first time to try sandwiches for lunch and talked to Leslie, the owner. She’s awesome and so knowledgeable about cheese and meats and all kinds of other food as well. You can really tell how passionate she is about food, her business and her customers. All of the ingredients are fresh and the store is exceptionally clean! The sandwiches are served on French baguettes and were delicious!! We will definitely be back soon and can’t wait to order some of the beautiful charcuterie boards—they look amazing!

Just recently ordered a charcuterie board for the Super Bowl from Leslie and it was absolutely amazing. We went with her recommendations and it couldn’t have been a more happier experience. From the assortments of meats, cheeses, fresh and dried fruits, chocolates, the variety of olives & peanuts, etc,. There may have been some ingredients we didn’t know and it was all delicious and we couldn’t stop eating it. Will definitely order again.
