We…read morepaid close to $20 for a SMALL fried oyster sandwich that came out not the way we ordered it; which was with tomatoes. No tomatoes came with the sandwich. The oysters were undercooked. The bun was a really inexpensive bun from a grocery store. The fries were undercooked (which is so awful) The young girl that delivered it when told that we were splitting it, and I needed some way to cut it in half literally walked away from the table without helping us. The food was horrible. The service was horrible. This is the third time we've been there. I do not understand how this place is still in business.

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!

I've…read morelost count of the number of high end chefs whose meals we have enjoyed around the world and I'm not joking when I say that I can count on one hand the places that I would say are better than Blu. After numerous trips I still can't put my finger on what exactly is done differently at Blu to outperform so many fantastic restaurants. It's as if they have somehow managed the flavors of a Michelin restaurant with plating that isn't so... boring and sterile. Portion sizes are more than adequate, none of that one taste nonsense here. The service is always fantastic, professional and friendly. The owner is occasionally willing to share recipes with you and has never disappointed me with a recommendation. The cocktails? Just "wow". Perhaps what makes this place so fabulous is that they manage to do so well in so many categories. I'll consider that more in depth next time I make a reservation which may just have to be today. Speaking of, if you don't make a reservation, don't be disappointed when you don't have a seat. This isn't a place you can always walk in and sit down. They don't have many tables and it's obvious that they aren't the type of place to sit more people than they can take care of. Take some time, enjoy a drink and one of the best meals you'll have in the area. You won't regret it!

My oldest grand and I took off to go the few miles to Down On Main. The place was HOPPIN!!!! There were people waiting for tables, waiting at the bar, standing around chatting with friends, and it was noisy!! Hahaha We went to the bar to place out to-go order. Jayla put our order in quickly, made sure everything was right, and never stopped. She was holding down the bar, making sure everyone was satisfied, plus taking orders, and getting other drinks done as well. Our food came out in about 15 minutes. It was delicious and the order was correct!!! We will definitely be back!!!

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.
