My wife and I ate at Dajio twice during our 4-day trip--once for lunch and once for dinner--and both meals were outstanding. For lunch, I ordered the shrimp tacos (three generously filled tacos packed with flavorful shrimp) and my wife got the fish tacos. Both were delicious. She's a bit of a margarita connoisseur, and she gave theirs two enthusiastic thumbs up! Save room for dessert--the fried banana bread is an absolute must. It's incredible. If you're visiting Ocracoke, make sure to put Dajio on your list. Highly recommend!

Pimento cheese lacked flavor and the oysters were over broiled making them dry and hard to get out the half shell. Fish special was Mahi and I ordered it grilled and it came beyond overcooked. I let the SA know that broil didn't need to kill the fish again. I'm not certian she understood English well, but it was not communicated to kitchen or Patrick our server. Patrick asked why we didn't say anything and got pissy about it, Patrick's check back on the main course was before we had taken a bite and then the next table check was by the young lady. Way too late by the time Patrick came back at the end of the meal. The coleslaw side was inedible, flavor was off. Overall it was just an okay experience and we left hungry.

Our waitress was from New England and we couldn't get her to understand the difference between NE clam chowder and anything else. We wanted NE clam chowder. Cream base. The soup of the day was a clam soup with a clear stock. We asked for the cream based clam chowder. She brought the shrimp chowder. Full of corn and potatoes. No shrimp. We asked and she said 'you wanted the cream base' to which all of us relied that we said the cream based CLAM chowder. If they didn't have it, she never said they didn't have it. She brought out the other broth based soup of the day and I cannot believe how BAD it was. It tasted like the stock deglazed a cast iron pot with scorched bacon in it. Sour and metallic. Just foul. The flounder of the day was fine. The Mac n cheese was bland. Husband ordered onion rings but what she brought were seriously overcooked. I can't believe she brought them to the table. Hoping we'd eat them? She took forever to come back and we didn't have to say much. She knew. If that apparent, why serve it?! Pricey crappy dinner. Would have rather spent that or more on better service and food just down the block.

They were very patient with me as I planned out my orders, with a lot of choices, I have trouble deciding what to get. I sensed that there were a lot of regulars stopping in too as the staff knew them by name. While I was there, I noticed some trays prepared for pickups and they were working on some others. The salad; cookies and chicken salad looked delicious. I had planned to stop back for lunch but didn't get there this trip. So that lunch will need to wait until next time.

It was bad and no one enjoyed their smoothies. We later stopped at a different smoothie establishment that only charges $6.50 and uses fresh fruits right in front of you! Maybe the ice cream is where it's at, but I would not recommend smoothies. I would recommend coming here to rent bikes.

This year we had to get on the road even earlier than normal so we needed a place that was close, open early, and accompanied our two little furry kiddos. That meant Mirro's checked all the boxes; opened at 8:00am-check, 2 miles from our house-check, and a lovely covered outside porch that was large enough for our party of 12. While we couldn't all sit at one big table, it still gave each of us time to visit before the long drives/flights home. And the cool breeze keep everyone cool during the meal. Ordering is done at the counter inside. They had multiple registers open to keep the flow moving. When asked for suggestions, the staff quickly pointed out their favorites, while listening to what each person wanted. The food came out quickly, hot, and exactly as ordered. The "silver dollar" pancakes were bigger than expected , which was a nice surprise. Our group tried the classic, the banana, and the chocolate chip options. Not one bite left on the plate. Light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Some others tried the omelets, biscuits w/gravy, and bagel sandies. Everyone finished it all. This menu might not be the most adventurous for some but we found it to be a good solid diner, with friendly staff serving quickly.

The smoothies are SO fresh here and we loved it. Their chicken strips with fries were so incredibly delicious too. Our fish tacos were interesting (Legendary Seafood Tacos)- the mahi fish was cooked to perfection but wrapped in a hard corn taco shell inside a soft shell. The pickled veggies were a great touch but not sure how I felt with the taco style. Still delicious and fresh fish so I'll take the win!
