Nice way to spend an afternoon…read more After beach, sand, sun, beach, sand, sun, it was a nice break to do something different. Our neighbors at the house we rented suggested dolphin watching and recommended Capt. Stuart Wescott and his tour. Wasn't too happy that I had to travel down to Manteo (car travel in the Outer Banks can be murder - worst than the GW bridge in rush hour). Luckily, it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The quaint little town of Manteo was an added bonus. Nice seaport-esque village with nice quaint little stores. As for the cruise itself, you actually sail with Capt Wescott. He was very nice and knowledgeable. Told silly jokes to keep the voyage light hearted. Sold drinks at a very reasonable price. The bathroom was also very convenient and clean. Strangely, this seems to be a selling point compared to their competitors. Saw many dolphins. Very docile and peaceful. Don't expect any flips or spins or twists. This isn't a SeaWorld show. The captain was very patient. Kept us out there a while until everyone had their fill of watching dolphins swim. After the initial excitement of finding and seeing the dolphins, there's only so much more you can watch, at least for me. On the downside, it is a touch expensive for a ferry ride but comparable to everyone else. Overall, a nice alternative If you need a break from the beach to let the sunburn recover.

My family and I have enjoyed this particular company for several years now. We always see dolphins…read more The Captain is very knowledgable and entertaining. The boat is spacious, clean and shaded. I highly recommend Outer Banks Cruises A.K.A. Captain Johnny's Dolphin Tour.

I reached out to Outer Banks LP Gas & Appliance Services by telephone and by their handy "request service" messaging on the companies website. Stan, at OBXLP, returned my calls as soon as he received them and had my propane delivered and up and running promptly. I have called the Outer Banks my home for almost 40 years and have done business with many local companies over that time. I have been using OBXLP for all my propane needs for almost ten of those forty years and they have always provided nothing but the quickest and most reliable professional service for all of my propane requirements. Whether new construction or your daily use, I wholeheartedly recommend OBXLP for any of your propane needs.

Service, quality and presentation were all very poor…read more We wanted a couple of meals prepared for our group of 10 renting a beach house together last summer. Mike agreed to deliver the food weeks before. Then at last minute, as we were finishing up a 10-hour drive with little kids in the car, Mike called and asked us to pick up the food. We were exhausted. Traffic was really bad. We didn't know the area, and it would be inconvenient, defeating the purpose. We said no. He complained, and then charged us an EXTRA $100 after he had already agreed to deliver the food. Whaaaaat??? I wasn't going to post this review until my wife received an invoice 2 weeks ago for the $100 delivery charge that he invented after the fact. No, we will not pay it Mike. Presentation was terrible. Not what you expect from a caterer. The BBQ didn't look fresh. See pictures. Taste was bland. Nobody ate it. Dessert looked and tasted like it was from a Duncan Hines box. We asked for some ham and turkey sandwiches. He gave us one slice of cheese and one slice of cold meat on each sandwich, so ratio of bread to meat was off. Bread didn't taste fresh. Fixings were all jarred from grocery store. Pretty sure he bought everything in a grocery store and put it in foil tins, but charged catering prices. Save yourself a ton of money and frustration and order delivery from a local restaurant or go to grocery store yourself for this level of quality.

From start to finish, working with Mike was a pleasure. My family and I hired Mike to create our…read moreThanksgiving meal this year. When I told Mike that there would be 16 people, he didn't even bat an eye. He was able to create a traditional Thanksgiving meal that everyone (even the 6 kids) LOVED! I was able to e-mail Mike a menu and from there he took over. He took care of all the shopping as well. He was on time with his delivery and even threw in a few extra things! The meal was outstanding. My family and I spent the majority of the dinner talking about how delicious every item was and we were each saying what our favorite thing was. (As a side note, the stuffing was the best I have ever had!). All of my interactions with Mike were very professional and his response time in getting back in touch with me was quick. I would recommend Mike to anyone and look forward to working with him in the future.
