Not to mention the steamed broccoli with cheese! You are seated at a U-shaped bar while your personal server shucks your oysters, one at a time, and brings your choice of steamed seafood. They have crab legs also. You will have a personal tube of saltine crackers, hot sauce, horseradish, whatever you need. Beer and wine available. It isn't cheap -- It is fresh seafood. The friends we invited from out of town said it was worth the drive!! They open the doors at 5:30 - get there early or expect to wait, especially on weekends. They close for the summer like the traditional oyster bar they are.

We were seated at a cozy table in the back room, which allowed for quiet conversation in this bustling, family oriented restaurant. Our server was very welcoming and professional. The timing of our meal, from drinks to appetizers to the main dish was great! We had the stuffed scallops and the broiled seafood platter. Each was cooked perfectly and was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend this special restaurant and we will definitely be back!

I had stuffed scallops, but they were not rinsed so there was sand in them. But the waitress was great and tried to make it up to us by comping a dessert (homemade donut with whipped cream which was very nice). I've heard they're great for lunches, but we won't be back for dinner.

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!
