    We went in for an early anniversary dinner. We were seated right away on the porch. Water was brought immediately, with menu's and drink selections. I ordered the local catch of the day, bluefish. It was delicious. Dessert was blueberry/peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream. It was incredible! Our waitress, Lulu was excellent. Highly recommend the Back Porch!

    Of all our meals in Ocracoke this was the most disappointing. Our table felt tiny and cramped, my glass was dirty and had to be returned. When I lifted my napkin off the bread plate tiny ants were running around. One bright note was their okra martini- it was fabulous! The fabulous ended there though, I thought my scallops were okay although smaller in portion than expected, the ride was very dry, and the "fresh vegetables" were so over cooked they didn't seem to be fresh at all. Service was slow as well. My husband had fish and to be honest I don't remember which type- but he thought it was very bland. I may not have been quite so disappointed had we not read such great reviews prior to our visit, but sufficed to say they didn't live up to our expectations.

    The bourbon pecan chicken is always a winner and my sister loved her crab cakes.

    Found ourselves craving fresh seafood and decided to grab lunch at Jason's. Despite the place being…read morequite busy, we were seated within about five minutes--a promising start! We ordered a variety of dishes: the cold Italian sub, spicy chicken wings, Greek salad with blackened shrimp, blackened fresh fish sandwich, and blackened shrimp dinner. COLD ITALIAN SUB The cold Italian sub came with chips and was flavorful and satisfying. Wish it had more seasoning and spice, but it was good nonetheless. SPICY CHICKEN WINGS The spicy chicken wings had a nice kick, but weren't overwhelming. Would've been great if they were more flavorful, but they were fried nicely. GREEK SALAD The Greek salad with blackened shrimp was fresh, with perfectly seasoned shrimp that added a great smoky depth. All the ingredients were fresh and crunchy. Feta wasn't overwhelming, just perfect. FRESH FISH SANDWICH The blackened fresh fish sandwich, also served with chips, was a highlight with its flaky, well-seasoned fish. SHRIMP DINNER The blackened shrimp dinner, which came with garlic bread and cocktail sauce, was another standout--generous portions and bursting with flavor. The garlic bread was delish and went with the shrimp, which was cooked to perfection. Super tender and juicy. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. Overall, Jason's delivered on both taste and efficiency, and it's a spot I'd happily return to for a quick and delicious seafood fix!

    Went with some friends in the off season and was busy right at five, as it one of the only spots…read moreopen. Every interaction with service members was fantastic, they were kind and attentive. It has a mom and pop feel, where you'll likely seat yourself when it's slow, all prices are somewhat reasonable, seafood was obviously more expensive but I'd say it was pushing the reasonable side of things. I had the fried shrimp with green beans and white Mac and cheese. Shrimp was solid, and high quality. The green beans were good and thin. The Mac and cheese was fine but came out cold, which was confusing considering it was so busy, I don't know why food would be in the window for long periods. For the price and location everything was solid, but not necessarily great, I wouldn't return if there were other open options. Thought I did not have I hear the "Uncle Bunkle" was fantastic.
