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.

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!

The bun was a really inexpensive bun from a grocery store.

The chef that was cooking on the grill was very unsanitary while handling food. I watched her MULTIPLE TIMES rub on her face, rub her eyes, rub the back of her STOMACH, text multiple times on her cell phone, all with the spatula/tongs in her other hand and continued to flip food while touching literally everything. Never washed her hands once. Never used gloves to prepare food. I order sweet Potato that I never received At the time of my crab cake was finished, she told me she would have had to put the potato in the oven because it's none ready and is going to take an additional 10 minutes after I already waited 30 mins. The host had NO knowledge of the menu portions. Very disappointed my first and last time at this restaurant. I would like a full refund but there was no manager on site at the time.
