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.

Our first time dining at this restaurant and probably our last. We had heard such rave reviews of…read morethis restaurant, but frankly we would prefer to go next door to Blue Moon Bistro. This restaurant was crowded (mainly because not many restaurants are open on Monday evenings) and loud. The tables are close together. The food was mainly just okay. The Scallops were undercooked, the Duck two ways was okay, but the duck breast was also undercooked. I guess if you want Saganaki and the "Opa" experience this is the place to eat. Otherwise, we were not impressed.

The buffalo shrimp wrap had zero shrimp in half of the wrap and limited shrimp on the other side. The service was terribly slow and we were forgotten about after being seated and while waiting for drink refills. This was after waiting about 30 mins with only one party ahead of us. I will give credit where it is due- they tried to make it better by making us shrimp for the wrap but the experience was just so bad by that point the whole meal was ruined. The only time we got service at all when when my husband flagged down another server to get our server. When trying to tell the manager about the issue she was too busy tending the bar to stop and take time to listen to my husband's complaints. Yes, they gave us a free piece of pie but it was not with the over 2 hr experience for mediocre food.

When I forgot a bag of ice until after I had checked out, another cashier without a line because she wasn't open yet, rang me up without waiting. That's service! Thanks

(From the archives. Visited this store multiple times in June of this year and July of last year.)…read more It always reminds me that we are in NC whenever we visit a Food Lion. I say that because coming from PA where FL doesn't exist, the only times I have ever been inside one are here and at the location in Corolla. This store is located conveniently on the "main drag" of Atlantic Beach in what for all intensive purposes is the only strip mall on this part of the island. Plenty of stuff a short drive back on to the mainland in Morehead City, but this is it for what is close to AB and Pine Knoll. I would classify this place as a small town boutique supermarket. This is certainly not a warehouse store and it's also not something like a Wegmans which in terms of square footage and choices would dwarf this place. No, what you're getting here is a solid dose of tourist/beach essentials that leans heavily towards their store brand generics. Not to say that any of that is bad as the pricing and quality of their store branded offerings are quite good. A few things to keep in mind: * I would imagine that the hours vary here seasonally. I know the Food Lion in Corolla can be open 24/7 in summer and in late December be shutting down at 7pm. We've only been here in season and both years the hours were 6am-Midnight. * It goes without saying that in season this store is always packed. Even coming here at 8am on a weekday will yield a fairly busy crowd. * Lots of open registers and if you don't have their MVP card they are more than happy to let you use a store card or sign you up for a card of your own no problem. * Two minor potential downsides. One is that the deli here is on the small side. They don't pre-cut a lot of things and their selections in general are small. Hopefully you like their two types (generalized) of turkey because that's all your getting. My local Giant Store between their brand and Boar's Head has ?? eight types of turkey. If you're big on going to the grocery store and buying a bunch of grab and go meals/sides, not here, as those types of choices are more or less non-existent. Overall the store is clean and well stocked. If I lived in the area I would probably be shopping here. It's not fancy by any means but it gets the job done. Good enough for me.

I ordered seafood platter, was supposed to be shrimp, scallops and calamari, but what I got was 35 hard as a rock salad shrimp so hard I couldnt eat them.
