My go-to place for seafood. Usually I get shrimp and/ or scallops…read more Since I am from Maryland, I know what crabs taste like. The crabs from Eastern NC are curiously flavorless, so I never waste my money on them. I'm told that the difference is due to cooking methods: boiling vs. steaming. However shrimp and scallops are fool-proof in NC. And I often get them at Ginn's.

We stopped by Ginn's after visiting another seafood outlet/retailer in Washington. The other…read moreretailer's shrimp were sitting in water for who knows how long so we passed on that place. Shrimp at Ginn's were all sitting in ice, and were as fresh as could be. Make sure you stop by early because they sell out of some of the larger shrimp by late afternoon. I wouldn't hesitate to return here next time. Great prices too!

She also mentioned we could stay to watch a boat bring in a fresh catch. The fishermen waved to our toddler and seemed like a fun, welcoming crew.

We had a really great experience buying seafood at this little market. What stood out the most…read moreabout our experience was the staff member - she was knowledgeable about the fish, gave us recommendations based on our needs and packaged our purchase really nicely in (complementary) ice and a styrofoam box! We were nervous about buying fish because we had a long journey back to our hotel, but the staff member made sure to pack our fish well enough that it was still perfectly cold by the time we got home. There was a great selection - shrimp, scallops, Spanish mackerel, tuna, tilefish, among other. She informed us that they were sold out of oysters for the day but had fresh ones coming in over night, available for purchase the next day. The market requires masks, which we appreciated.

I've been to QAR several times, for dinner, lunch and drinks. The food never disappoints and the…read moreservers are all friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Two notable things: no fried foods, including fries, and all their beers on tap are from a local Morehead City brewery called Tight Lines Brewery. They have 8 taps. So there are IPA's, lagers and even a sour if that's your jam. Back to food, the one criticism I have is their potato salad. That doesn't live up to the rest of the place. Try the mahi, Rueben tuna, or Shrimp Mac and cheese. You won't be disappointed.

This place is great has a lot of outdoor seating which is where we sat upstairs and everything was just great! If you haven't been here I say go for it!!

Three to four stars is an accurate ratting for Charlies…read more Popped in on the way to visit family in the area and after eating Waffle House for dinner I needed something light to fill the stomach for breakfast. Stopped in at the right time as shortly after multiple families came in. Definitely can see this being a busy spot pre/post church. Was a little surprised about the lemon juice packets for my water, first I have seen that. I enjoyed my meal. Everything hit the spot with my order. My grandfather's poached eggs were overcooked but he enjoyed it all. Other things that stuck out was they had no OJ, overheard the waitress tell a young boy they were out of apple juice, and they were not serving french toast. Maybe staffing issues with it being Labor Day weekend but I would have thought having a fully stocked kitchen would be important. If traveling through I would pop in for some grub, it is better than the Mc. Donalds up the road.

They have been popular for years and serve good food and theirs always good conversation there.read more

What can I say about Harbor House Seafood?…read more First of all, The location is quaint and delightful. I enjoyed looking at all the succulents you had potted on the side of the building. Such beautiful plants! We ordered a bunch of steamed seafood for a family gathering and yall did not disappoint. From the moment we pulled up your warmth and hospitality were truly amazing. It was really hot out and our food wants quite ready yet.... You offered us some nice cool ice water which was so nice. You won us over with your kindness. We chilled on the front porch sipping our water and watching the kitty relax in the shade. Once our food was ready you brought it out on a cart and we loaded it up excited to eat some seafood. Everything was incredible. So fresh and perfectly cooked. We enjoyed it immensely. Not a bite of seafood was left. lol Next family trip to hatteras we will definitely order again!

A somewhat ordinary-looking entrance leads to a beautiful, airy, open dining room. We were greeted…read moreby one of the owners (Suzanne) who was warm & welcoming. They have a nice selection of cocktails, many of which seem crafted to honor the local vibe. I had a cocktail containing a house distilled gin. Delicious. They also let my husband sample two of the house distilled gins before he ordered a gin and tonic. He was very happy. Kennedy, our friendly, knowledgeable server, brought out complimentary cornbread with brown butter/molasses butter and tomato soup shooters. Yum. They offer two- and three-course price fix menus, and for a few dollars more, you can make it a wine pairing. My husband did that, and I ordered off of the regular menu. His collard green salad was sensational! He couldn't stop raving about it even as he was finishing it up. His second course was filet mignon, and it was the most savory, tasty filet I've ever had! I had lemon risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - it was delicious as well. We were at the Hackney to celebrate closing on our house in Washington, and we made the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner. We will be back!

This isn't like us, but it was so good I didn't want to go elsewhere. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! The service was wonderful and it costs what you'd expect for a place like this. The soft shell crab and grits - holy cow!!! That's the best sauce (gravy?) that I've ever tasted! Although the banana pudding wasn't traditional, it was the bomb (sorry, but it's a great way to describe it). If you go, make a reservation or plan to go early or later.
