The Flying Melon Café started in 2004. Before that date the eatery was known as the Trolley Stop, which has been constructed using an actual trolley that toured the Island. Part of the restaurant origins came from an old house on the island.  The restaurant was reviewed in Gourmet Magazine in 2008 and Southern Living in April 2009.

Suzie O’Neal and Michael Schramel are the owners.  Suzie graduated from Vanderbilt University and moved to the Island to work in the area restaurants.  Her mother is from Ocracoke, but she was raised in Virginia Beach, VA.  Suzie is very involved in the community, serving on the Ocracoke Foundation Board and Non-Profit Youth Center. Michael is a native of New Orleans where he operated many restaurants and catering businesses. He is an avid fisherman.  Both owners work in the kitchen and contribute to the signature recipes featured on their menu.
