One thing I loved about visiting Ocracoke, particularly this time of year, and Zillie's was the fact that it feels real...not like a basic tourist trap. The bartender our first night was friendly as were all the locals (shout out to Shannon and Benny!) who regaled us with stories about Ocracoke past and present. The experience the first night brought me back and I about broke the bank because they also have a ton of cute gifts and other goods. If you ever have the good fortune to visit, you gotta stop by. Hey, maybe one day I'll own it if they'll sell it...loved it that much! But be sure to check the hours as they are subject to change...you're on island time.

Cool angled interior space with a rustic feeling open post and beam roof. Grabbed a pound of peal and eat shrimp. Drinks were strong and savory however a bit pricy.

They had live music playing on a Saturday evening and he was really talented as well! Pretty good food, we both got a pork BBQ sandwich with red mash potatoes.

My wife got a Rum Runner and a Mai Thai and was very happy with both from a flavor and alcohol content. Really fun area where kids can run and play and also fun to people watch. We would go back just for the views and fun vibe.

The oysters were fresh and delicious just what I wanted. I also got the blackened tuns bites which were cooked perfectly. The shrimp appetizer however was not cooked and needed to be sent back for being raw under the wrap. Our server was quick to remove it from the bill which was in my opinion the right thing to do. My table mates were not as happy with their meals. The crab cake from what I was told was mushy and lacking crab and the chicken cheese steak tasted like yesterday's chicken. Overall if looking for a local place with lots of character Pop's is the place to go. Just need to pick the right meal.

It seems these past few years of complaints have finally paid off! The previous wench of a hostess…read moreis finally gone! The new girl (I didn't catch her name) was polite, friendly and accommodating. My party of 6 did not have to wait because we got there early enough after opening, but even if we did have to, I know she would have been ten times more polite than the previous one we've unfortunately encountered over the last few years. Our food was delicious and the drinks were spectacular. We had such a great experience this time, we even got dessert to go! This five star review has been a LONG time coming. And I'm finally happy to say it was VERY WELL deserved. Our server was attentive (I also didn't catch his name, I'm getting old...) and friendly. I have zero complaints. We will be back next year

Quite possibly the worst food I've ever been served ranging from unseasoned food to horrific…read moreingredients combinations to even fish that went bad. We ordered the seafood platter deep fried which ended up being a mess. The shrimp were chewy and there was barely anything of any item. Nothing was seasoned and the crab cake while full of crab was dry. The shellfish trio was the best item ordered that had plenty of scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. The pesto cream sauce was serviceable but the dish is average at best. We had two different daily specials, the mojo yellowfin tuna and the Parmesan crusted triggerfish. The mojo yellowfin tuna was cooked well enough, with it being mostly raw in the center, but lacked really any flavor and a tad bit overcooked on one side. It was served over some rice, beans, and a fruit salad. Off combination and not great. There was a side of what tasted like boiled unseasoned zucchini/squash. Abysmal side and a terrible dish, but not even the worst dish. The Parmesan encrusted triggerfish was the worst dish I've ever been served. The dish even from its conception is poorly designed as it has way too much Parmesan. Usually for a Parmesan encrusted dish there would be about an 80/20 split of breadcrumbs to Parmesan, however this dish was almost all Parmesan likely 10/90 of breadcrumbs to Parmesan. The overwhelming flavor of Parmesan was the only thing you can taste and totally masked the triggerfish. The worst part was while half of the fish was fine the other half had something terribly wrong with it. Instead of being flakey the other half was rubbery and chewy and tasted nothing like fish. This rancid half could barely be cut with a knife and made us sick. This was also served with a side of unseasoned squash just to make it even worse. The strawberry rhubarb pie and chocolate pecan pie were both fine but didn't amaze. With everything being so terrible food wise the restaurant is even worse with every entree being over $30 and the acoustics were terrible. The whole place is so loud when it's a full house and you have to scream to talk to someone at your table. The prices present a high quality meal but I wouldn't even pay fast food prices.
