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!

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.

The food was plentiful and good. Maybe it was the time of day, but the ambience is fairly lackluster and it reminded me of a peppier room at a VFW.

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.

By far the worst seafood I've ever had in my life. Waitress was great I loved her, restaurant…read moreitself was nice the ambience was cute. The FOOD oh my god my $20 plate came out with 4 soggy cold fried oysters and 5 rubbery weird tasting scallops. There was no seasoning on anything it's like everything was microwaved. Food took 45 minutes to come out and there was only 3 people tables in the restaurant. My food tasted like it came out of the bus tray, I'd rather eat out of the foodlion dumpster honestly. Heard the restaurant was great 3 or 4 years ago but now it's horrible. Would not recommend this place to anyone that's ever ate decent food in their life, wouldn't feed my worst enemy this food.

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!

I ordered the bone in pork chop, it was just a Chop. No depth. No wow In the seasoning. It had chopped pickles on it and Was cooked medium well. I do better with a chop from Harris Teeter, some rosemary and a grill. My husband enjoyed the Rockfish although portion was small. Even the house bread pudding was lack luster. This was a birthday celebration. Was hoping the chef would walk the floor. But no. Luckily we stumbled into Blue the next day. Lovely. Hackney needs to taste their menu. We will come back to Washington. Lovely little town. Won't come back to Hackney for a while.
