    Great hidden spot along the main road toward OBX! (Turn at the Hardee's/Royal Farms and keep on…read moregoin' to the end of the road.) It's definitely a local divey hideaway, with tons of cool and eclectic rural backwoods decor. GREAT FOOD. The boom boom shrimp sauce was really good, and the mushrooms had an unusual-looking, yet fantastic, coating and fry! Huge portion of those huge shrooms, as the photo shows. The 1 lb. portion of Steamed Shrimp was also huge! I guess I didn't realize how large the shrimp would be, and there are 15-20 in that bucket. They DO go very heavy on the Old Bay! I turned over the top shrimp so it wouldn't be so visible in the photo. Our awesome server Karen told us it would be that way, and next time I'll ask for light-to-no seasoning, because it really was very heavy (and therefore, salty). But still excellent! I never leave seafood on the plate, but there was just too much for me to finish. Google before you visit, because I understand the hours can vary. But worth the trip if you're looking for downhome rural waterside! Hubby and stepson have already been back several times on their Harleys, both for lunch and dinner. They love the hometown "Cheers" feel of the bar.

    We ate at Barry's while visiting family. We were offered a tour of the 12 hotel rooms and loved the…read morethemes. The restaurant was super cool with the old hunting lodge feel and decor. The Chicago Bear presence there with some of the Ditka, etc memorabilia was pretty nice. The location was a hidden gem and the outdoor area on the water is very nice. The live music really set the beach atmosphere. It's definitely has the beach bar feel. The food and drinks were very reasonably priced and good. I definitely recommend it.

    I have been shopping with frog Island for almost a decade. The first time I complained about…read moresomething - 2 pounds of the steam shrimp being completely overcooked and inedible - and called right away. I was treated like a criminal. I was told by Hannah, apparently the daughter of the owner, that she couldn't do anything, but finally agreeing to replace 1 pound of the 2 pounds I purchased. No refund option. (I live 45 minutes away) I went in, gave them another chance to do the right thing, talked to them again, and they still refused to give me a refund or replace the whole order. They said I should've taken a picture of the overcooked shrimp. Huh? In what world does that even make sense? And I asked her, the day I talked to her about this, if she wanted me to pick the shrimp out out of the garbage and bring it to her and she said no. I guess they have enough business that they don't need the locals. It's a shame. But I am not ever going to do business with them again. Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Whatever happened to standing by your product?

    First let me say that I normally don't like fried seafood because it's usually heavily breaded and…read moregreasy. Same goes for the leaden greasy hushpuppies. Well, you won't find that here!! Stumbled upon this unassuming gem while traveling for business. The number of cars in the parking lot was a good indication. When you walk in, it looks like a typical fish market that you would find in this area with a fish counter full of fresh offerings. Go around the counter & you'll see some tables & booths and a window into a small kitchen. You order at the register next to the window & are given a number. When your order is ready, you go to the counter to pick up. We were in heaven when we got our food! Everything was fried to perfection with a light flavorful coating. The scallops were huge & fresh! The soft shell crab was out of this world!...so juicy and flavorful!! The hushpuppies...I have to rave about these!! They're light, with a delicate crispy outside leading to an almost cake-like interior. They were delicious!!! The portions were generous and the prices excellent. Best of all is that this is obviously family run. Needless to say we polished off everything. This place is a definite keeper on my list & I honestly am still covering another taste of those scallops & soft shell crab. If you want ambiance, this isn't it. If you want service, this isn't it either....BUT if you want great Down East seafood, THIS is a must try!
