We were driving by and my daughter said she was hungry so I pulled in and placed a to go order. We had a dog with us in the car and she said we should sit at the picnic tables and let her run around on the side. So we did. The restaurant is so cute, quaint and inviting. And the workers were so nice. We ended up getting hush puppies, dried okra, and two crab cake sandwiches. I was so impressed with how fresh and delicious the crab cakes were. Soooo good. WILL BE BACK!

We were doing a hot dog tour down east and Martelle's seemed to be the only option in Hyde County…read more We pulled in and found the parking lot crowded for obvious reasons. It seemed to be the only place around. The less obvious reason was that the food is pretty good. This is a large establishment with a bar and at least one private room that was dark when we arrived. The first two folks we interacted with were under 14 but they pointed us along the way to an open table. For better or worse, it seemed like one woman was taking care of the whole restaurant, which, during our visit was probably 40 people. They offer a large menu as well as a full buffet with salad bar and soup. We were here for hot dogs so we each got a hot dog and a salad (grilled chicken for Mom. fried chicken for me). As we waited for the food to come out there was a lovely semi-organized chaos. As folks saw friends and caught up on life, the server deftly managing conversations and serving drinks and, occasionally a very young person dropping off menus at tables because she insisted on helping. Our food arrived hot and looked great. The hot dogs were made mostly their house way which was standard Carolina dog style plus ketchup. Mom got corn fritters with her which are always good. The salads were hardy and tasted fresh. I jumped up once to get a bit of extra dressing from the salad bar instead of having the server run back to the kitchen. Overall, this was a great stop and I can see why it's popular. I'd love to try the buffet, but not sure when I'll find myself in these parts again.

The two of us came on a Wed night just after 6:30 and we waited about 45 mins to get seated (they told us and hour, so no issues). They had the most pleasant hostess working! My bride ordered the Pecan crusted Drum and we're pretty sure she was served the Parmesan Flounder. When the server set it down, he said Flounder. And when she said she ordered the Drum, he said it was Drum. I ordered the Blackened Drum and it was tasty (the fish didn't look anything like my bride's). The menu said collard greens as a side, however I was served broccoli. I was fine with either, but they may want to update the menu or have the server inform you of the change. The side salad was pretty dry....we think they may have forgotten the vinaigarette dressing. Unfortunately, the complimentary bread came out after we were halfway through our meal. It was good though! Even though we didn't have a great experience ourselves, we would probably try it again since the place must be popular for a reason
