No sign of politics like other posters but a great stop on the way to OBX-- delicious local peanuts at a great price (half of what we found otherwise), delish peaches, corn got weird in our car so that's on us. read more

Would have liked to stop but can't support a business that flys foreign flags out front (Israel). The signs were cool though.

Not often you see the Israel flag blowing in the breeze but half a dozen of them caught our attention. Stopped to pick up some fresh peach's. Place is a little pricey but our peach's were sweet and juicy. read more

Very ugly flags flying around the property. Felt like this place was shoving the G-side down your throat as you drive by. Shame

I thought this looked nice, but the produce was VERY poor quality. Peaches were inedible. Avoid!

Gross soggy fruit and bold support of genocide makes this place a must- pass on the way to the outer banks!

Besides the fake reviews triggered by flags ... the produce is fresh, baked stuff from heaven and sincere staff or youngsters. Haven't seen watermelons with seeds in ages. Great place! read more

Amazing market with fresh produce, baked items, other farmstand items - fresh breads, honey, jams, specialty items. Grocery items and basic beach needs - hats, sunblock. Very friendly staff. There's an area to walk your dog and restrooms as well. read more

!!!!beware fake farm!!! overinflated prices. do not stop. obx food lion has way cheaper prices. not organic at all. scam tourist trap. do not be fool. the wine store is also double overpriced. google it if you dont believe me. read more

TERRIBLE!! Was so dissatisfied and will never return. Really embarrassing place also to be representing Israel like that.

Tasteless corn, white-pink strawberries with a few good looking ones on top. Weirdly insistent on their politics. There are better options for produce on the way to the beach, for sure. read more

Avoid this tourist trap. The corn was terrible. It was animal feed at best. Strawberries were moldy. All this to pay a massive premium. The only decent fruit/vegetables were what they imported, repackaged and doubled the price. You're much better off at Harris Teeter's or Food Lion. read more

The peaches were not that good. Prices relatively high. The boiled peanuts were TERRIBLE! Worst purchase of the whole beach trip. Honestly food lion had better produce. Such a bummer. read more

Thank you for your support of Israel . Thank you for the great experience and the yummy fudge.

I used to love stopping by this Farmers Market on my home way from Nags Head. It had so many fruits and vegetables, bread, pickled Jams and etc. It's been a while since I stopped by here (like pre-COVID) and it seems they didn't have much stuff as I remembered. And the vegetables and fruits weren't organic. That's a bummer because that's what I like about Farmers Market. Nonetheless, I picked up some strawberries that were 2 pints for $12. Will make some strawberry jam and strawberry lemonade. read more

We stopped yesterday morning (July 19) about 9:30am just like we have for the last 14 years. We picked up a basket of peaches. We waited in line at the cash register and got invited by a nearby cashier to come over to her counter since there were no one there. She rang up the amount and we handed her $50.59 for the $30.59 purchase. We were told she didn't have any cash for change so she wanted us to use a credit card. Powells places a surcharge on credit card purchases so we said no. She then told us we could go out back and use the ATM. We were not going to do that so asked if we could go back to the other cashier. We were told we could not do that. The cashier made no attempt to help us and it seemed like she was steering us in the direction of the credit card for some reason. We decided to leave. At that point, the cashier nonchalantly started to gather up the peaches and put them back in the bucket. She didn't care one bit about the customer or the lost sale and just ignored us. It's hard to imagine that an open business would have no change in the cash register and be fully capable of giving back the $20 in change. What a great way to treat your customers! Right! read more

Very poor service, you don't have much to choose from, the food was ok but I wouldn't recommend it.

Haven't been to the Outer Banks in a while and forgot that we figured out that the produce stands a little further on - as in closer to the beach - are better than Powell's. It seemed expensive and then when I looked at my receipt I saw I'd been charged 6 times for a "farm fee" of $2. My best guess is that there was a fee for each item purchased, which I didn't see disclosed anywhere. So that $4 watermelon that seemed like a good deal was actually $6. And it was marked seedless but had quite a few seeds. That said the watermelon was pretty good, as was the cantaloupe. Strawberries were meh. read more

Where do I start. Expensive, and ratty looking stuff. Asked for a restroom key, they have a single occupant ladies room, but men have to go outside to the outhouse/portajohn. I am older and could not walk all the way to the back of the property. Why not have the restroom men/ladies? Staff was snarky. Food looked terrible. read more

This place looks like it has it all but I've always ended up with overpriced produce which tends to go by quickly. Pass it by

Basket of peaches contained more than half over-ripened, near rotten, and bruised, all hidden below the nice top layer. Extra charge for using cc. 'been stopping here for more than a decade, but poor quality no longer worth the higher prices....will skip from now on. read more

Staff was very rude and does not know how to properly handle the produce, didn't even greet us at register.

Unfriendly service. The board says "Free fudge tasting" My husband asked for free fudge tasting, and they said if you buy. Horrible customer service. Not worth at all read more

Powell's Roadside Market - a view of the outside of the store - Farmers Market Near Me - Moyock, North Carolina

This is the worst farmers market I have ever been to. The blueberries were $6.99 and so old they tasted like cardboard. Definitely not freshly picked. The lady was nasty when asking questions and then after spending $48, she was yelling at us to move our 35 feet motor home when all my husband was doing was stopping to let me get in and secure our purchases, which literally took less than 5 minutes. I will never go there again. read more

We were excited and enjoying our trip to the Outer Banks when we stopped at this place off the highway. Please don't bother with the hassle of getting out of traffic and back in it. The wonderful hospitality and vibe of the Outer Banks doesn't carry over to here. The staff is incredibly rude and the produce subpar especially given the horrible prices. read more

This is the second time I stopped there for fruit on my way to the beach. The strawberries were bad and moldie within a day. The Mellon was mushy, mealy and seemed like it had too much water in it. Won't stop there again. Bad fruit every time and expensive. read more

The staff was young and snarky. The prices were a little higher than other markets nearby and lack the ambiance. The presentation was okay, but the seafood cooler was enough for me to get back in my car. I would say that the the brewery they added next door is nice, it was pretty cute and you can tell they are trying to keep up with local competitors! read more

I had an awful experience with this business. We came in through the side of the market, missing the no dogs sign at the front, and brought my 4 month old puppy on the grounds. He got ahold of rat poison that was on the edge of one of the isles in the store. Many stressful days and several vet appointments later he's doing okay. I called the store to let them know what happened and suggest that they use child and pet proof boxes (as they are legally required to according to the EPA), so this doesn't happen to another pet or child. The owner yelled at me on the phone before I could even speak, blaming us for the incident and saying that they have never had the problem before. Awful costumer service through all of this. Everyone that we've talked to has been really cold and unkind. read more

A tradition to stop there for the last 23 years! Very unique things and great food! The atmosphere is great too cause they usually have music playing or a band playing! read more

Young girls, three of them busy talking while there was a line of customers. It was obviously more important for their conversation than to check us out. I watched as she rang up a handful of grapes at $5.99 a pound. I asked her if that was correct and she said yes. So I guess the review above that said they saw the workers unloading plastic bags from grocery stores is correct. Won't stop here ever again! read more

Great local market with fresh fruit, veggies and baked goods as well! Will definitely be returning.

I got food poisoning from the tomatoes .. I pooped my pants otw home. The lady with the limp threw up on me.

Pretty disappointing selection of some not so fresh food. What's the point of calling yourself a farmers market if it's the same quality as a grocery store.....grandys is a little further down the road and much better in our opinion read more

Produce overload but not complaining! Found some of the sweetest strawberries I've had all season. Just in time for Fall, pumpkins were available in an assortment of sizes and colors. They also have different breads. I bought a loaf that had strawberries in it and made French toast. Very good! read more

We decided to stop on the way home from OBX and we're sorry we did. They had a nice place with grass for the dogs, porta potties, and what seemed like a large selection of produce BUT the staff was not kind! I have a small, well behaved dog who I got out of the car and took to the grassy area for dogs. We then proceeded to the market itself and a lady comes barreling out yelling "NO DOGS IN THE MARKET. GO BACK TO THE DOG AREA" and I was okay with not having my dog go in, but not okay with the way I was treated. The signs that stated this were hidden and not by the entrance. Don't want dogs in the market? Then use more signage! We turned around and refused to buy anything. We won't be back and will be stopping at a different market from now on. read more

We stop at Powell's every year on our way to the beach for peaches. This year there was a sign that said no refunds on the peaches. We should have passed, but we bought a bucket for $29.99. Every peach was bad. We had to throw them out. They looked OK on the outside, but the fruit was brown. mushy and distasteful. This was on 12 June. Recommend staying away from their peaches this season. I can't believe they sold them. Recommend passing up Powell's this season. If you want good peaches, go to another market this summer. read more

What's it like to anticipate fresh spring strawberries and then to be tragically let down my their lack of flavor and ripeness?  Powell's. What's it like to attempt to get the attention of a gaggle of silly twats behind the counter who seem more interested in gossip and cellphones than to give you any attention when you come up to pay?  Powell's! What's it like to be chastised by one of the silly twats because all you have is a $20 bill?  Me: "Hello." Girl: (nothing).  Me: "Just the strawberries, thanks."  Girl: "Is all you have is a 20?! (SIGH!).  I mean we're running out of change (SIGH!)" Me: "Sorry bout that."  Girl: "SIGH!"  Takes $20, gives me change,  (no eye contact) leaves the strawberries on the counter.  Me: "Oh!  Shall I bag them? Thanks.  You just go back to whatever you were doing..I can manage!" Yup-that's Powell's. read more

Wow... Pretty expensive. Now I know how they afford the 75 signs leading up to the market! Lol 20 bucks for two beers and no bathroom (for customers). At least they have an indoor bathroom for staff. Lol Not a horrible place but I wouldnt stop again. read more

100% not recommend this place!! The customer service was absolutely unacceptable. The young man that was checking us out gave my children and I nasty looks, and had a terrible attitude problem. We spent $60 dollars on strawberries ALONE, not even including the raspberries and blueberries we purchased as well. Our total came out to about $95 dollars for some fruit. Once we got home we were forced to throw out 3 peaches due to bugs being inside the fruit. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

This place is Tourist Trap Trash! It's tacky, rundown and dirty. The staff doesn't wear masks even though it is mandated in North Carolina during this pandemic. We bought a quart of cherries for $13 and "fresh baked" jalapeño cheese bread. I'm thinking they bought stale bread , slapped on shredded cheese and jalapeño on the outside of the loaf and repackaged it. No flavor inside the loaf of bread unless stale is a flavor. read more
