I was very excited to stop at the Piggly Wiggly in Beaufort. There was one in my town when I moved,…read morebut it closed soon after, and I always liked the store. This is a smaller grocery store that is clean and well-organized. I thought the prices were pretty good and was planning to stop back to shop on my way out of town, as the prices were less than I was used to, and I wanted those deals. This store carried items I hadn't seen before. But as it is smaller, the brands they carry are fewer than I am accustomed to, with a lot of the products. And other products had more selection than I could imagine, so maybe they order just what those who shop there want. I wanted to try the breakfast in the restaurant inside the store, too, as I really enjoyed my burger and fries. It will be my first stop in Beaufort on my next visit.

Pretty much dining hall ambience, nothing fancy. But nice. Comfortable. People are super friendly. Yes,you can get fried this, and French fries that if you want, but I opted for baked chicken, mustard greens, and fried okra. I think all for around $10. The simplicity, health, and value set this lunch counter apart. It's like going back in time. Don't change!

I asked one cashier why she looked so grumpy and she told me she was just waking up. It was after noon already. Prices, like everywhere else, have gone up substantially but I question how much of it is the cost of remodeling the store.

For my 300th review of 2025, I get to update my review of Beaufort Grocery. Beaufort Grocery is in…read morethe historic district of Beaufort, NC. The building was once Owen's Grocery store and is now a casual restaurant. They serve sandwiches and salads for lunch, but the dinner menu is closer to fine dining. I highly recommend making reservations if you are going for dinner, as it is a very popular place, even in the off-season. Reservations are not taken for the Sunday brunch, so I made sure to get there early to be first in line. On my recent visits, the restaurant was decorated for the holidays, so that was fun. It is small inside, but in warmer weather, there are outside tables. Alex took care of me at dinner. He was very welcoming, friendly, and could answer all my questions. He was very attentive and made sure my iced tea was always full. I went with the special for the night. I ordered the ribeye special without realizing it was 20 ounces. Thankfully, my appetite was good that night. It came with brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I did get dessert too, and that was a chocolate peanut butter pie. That took me two days to finish. At brunch, my waitress was friendly and went over all the specials. I had a green apple mocktail, the #18 poached and stacked. I did the mini sweet potato biscuits as well so it was a lot of food. Alex, from dinner, saw me and asked me about my trip, so it was nice to see him again, and I thought it was nice that he remembered my plans. I will be dining here at least once on future trips to Beaufort, NC.

The bridal party along with a few others met here for lunch and they were able to seat us outside rather quickly by putting tables together which was so kind. All of us enjoyed our drinks. I had the spicy margarita and it was delish! I split the special sandwich of the day with my friend and had the broccoli salad on the side. Both were super fresh and everyone else enjoyed their meals as well! No complaints on the service or food. The outside patio was perfect for the spring weather we were enjoying!

Low and behold this fairly new Dollar General which was in front of us on the left. First thing inside the doors was a four foot tall stack of water bottle cases.

I can't speak about the rest of the store as I never went any further in but I assume that if you've been to one DG then you've been to all of them in terms of offerings. Quick. Easy. Convenient.

Making my way through my quest to visit every County Courthouse in North Carolina (there are 100),…read moreI was pleasantly surprised to encounter the Olde Beaufort Farmers' Market this morning. Dozens of tents and vendors along the walkways and under the trees next to the Carteret County Courthouse. Fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh fish on ice, coffee, artisan breads and pastries, arts and crafts including pottery and paintings and candles and jewelry. Even the county's bookmobile was here like a roving little free library. Live music and community organizations. I enjoyed a coffee and wandered. Lots of interesting merchandise, many interesting people. Parking is a challenge but I pounced on a space when someone departed. [Review 769 of 2025 - 4201 in North Carolina - 24329 overall]

I probably wouldn't venture here at night alone, but during the day, it had all of the things we needed: paper towels, ice, and some snacks. Nothing special about Big Daddy's, except maybe the name, and the Christmas decor on the outside, but it did meet our needs on this Sunday afternoon in Beaufort.
