When you're 20 minutes away from Harris Teeter and Food Lion, this place is an excellent choice when you're staying in duck. Yes it is touristy and everything is overpriced but you kind of expected that didn't you? It is a decent place and great when you just need an item or two. I always go here when I'm in duck. read more

Great little grocery store with all the essentials plus some fresh sandwiches that are great to grab before you head to the beach.

We stop here every time we visit and the owners are always incredibly nice! The deli food is good too! (Chicken salad is the best)

The small bottle of detergent rang up for $9.89, but was on the shelf marked at $5.99. All we wanted was a refund of the difference, or to return the item. The young man at the register had no idea how to do either, we were told to wait for a manager. We waited nicely for 10+ minutes, even joking with other customers who saw what was happening. Finally, two managers came in. The first listened to our story, checked the shelf and the picture I took, confirmed that there was something wrong. The second, and older woman with a pony tail (who I see was equally wonderful to others commenting here) came over. She told us the register was right, $9.89. We said the shelf was marked $5.99, were waiting 10 minutes, but fine just return the item. She had a few snarky remarks as she processed the return, among them was to go to Walmart if we don't like the prices! Then when my wife said we just want to return the item and we don't need attitude, the woman yelled loud enough for the entire store to hear "I just clocked in"! We got some "have a nice day" disingenuous comments from her on the way out. The truth is all of us "just clocked in" all year long to come spend a little time in places like the Outer Banks. Winks should really take a close look at this person, she's not representing them well. We've been shopping at Winks stores since 1978, this particular store since it's been open without a problem. I feel for the store employees that have to deal with her. read more

I went in here to get a snack of chips and a cookie. I was charged a technology fee and three different types of taxes on my receipt. Still trying to figure out what that's all about. read more

Wee Winks Market & Deli is a diamond under new operators. What used to be just a quick stop is now a great experience--clean, well-stocked, and friendly. Perfect whether you're passing through or staying awhile. The deli is excellent, and there are even some fun "secret menu" surprises. Definitely worth stopping in and supporting read more

"Wink wink, nudge nudge, tell me do you like the rude stuff" (Spice Girls) Wee Winks is a very nice little convenience store in downtown Duck, NC. The shelves are stocked with all of your convenience store essential groceries, a bakery, and you'll also see a showcase with pre-made sandwiches and a full deli counter. We wanted to get two sandwiches made to have dinner at a brewery, but when we arrived, we learned that they were through making sandwiches for the day. Instead, we checked out some of their pre-made sandwiches (made earlier in the day) and left with a turkey and cheese sandwich ($10.99) and an Italian sandwich ($11.99). We charged the food and were assessed a $0.57 "Technology Fee". I thought the sandwiches were very uneven, to the point that the turkey sub was a rip-off. It had very little turkey and cheese but had a big proportion of bread. Check out my photo and see if you agree. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wee-winks-market-and-deli-duck?select=wYM1Ynb1m3mfyLCgLwHktA On the other hand, my Italian grinder was great and had a ton of meat in there. I'm sure that during the season, this place is slammed busy. read more

See all

A bit pricey, but the crumb cake is worth every penny. It's also a little shop that's very convenient and has just about everything!

What.a.bunch.of.jerks. Ok, just one jerk...a very unpleasant older woman who I politely asked if I could use their bathroom because I wasn't feeling well. The truth....because of a health condition. I had first walked to the back of the store upon seeing the "restroom" sign only to find that each one had a sign taped to the door saying, in effect, "no, you can't use our restrooms...go across the street". Hey, Wee Winks, just a thought but maybe take down the "restrooms" sign altogether?? Not only is the customer service terrible...as many other reviewers also point out...but the selection was below average for a store of this size. And everything is way overpriced. I get that the prices are going to be higher given the convenience of this place to Duck vacationers. But still, this is just price gouging. It gave us great pleasure to walk out without buying a thing and then go only a little ways down the street and spend over $100. Oh, and to the owner of this place: change the name. This one is really stupid. read more

They are amazing locally owned- food is always fresh! We always prefer to use them vs chains when we come to town

Had a great turkey & Swiss cheese sub, what's not to love?? Asked for Italian dressing, and they delivered with just amount. Ate the whole thing, no complaints. read more

every year when we vacationed to Duck we always were going to Wee winks for something, great store with a variety of items and the check out gals always friendly and helpful read more

I like wee winks a lot. I love their breakfast and service, just sometimes people can be impatient. but it's a great place to walk to if your in duck, NC. They also have things like snacks and stuff. what a neat little place! read more

friendly staff food is always fresh! most important the sanitation score is excellent. very clean welcoming buisness

After not finding what I wanted at the market down the street, I stopped in to Wee Winks. It is a well laid out convenience type store. They had a good assortment of basic grocery items, like eggs, cheese, milk, yogurts. I found a prepared Chicken Caesar salad that looked pretty tasty. They also had a Greek salad and a Garden salad. They also have a full line of basic convenience store items, like sodas and snacks. I was just looking for some items to fill the bill for a three day stay, and they had what I needed. read more

Wee Winks Market & Deli - Packaged salad - Grocery Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

Wee Winks is the BEST PLACE for BREAKFAST in Duck! The staff is top notch. Fast, friendly and courteous.

Excellent and quick stop to grab some grub for the beach. They have a deli counter with a wide variety of sandwich and salad options. I ordered a turkey wrap -- it was delicious and came with a generous amount of turkey and cheese. If you aren't looking to grab and go a bite you can also get some serious grocery / drink shopping done. Although it seems like a small convenience store on the outside they actually had a huge selection of groceries. There is also a liquor section with any sort of drink imaginable, including lots of different local brands. If you want a to-go lunch for the beach this is a great option for a one stop shop. read more

Wee Winks Market & Deli - Turkey wrap - Grocery Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

They have most of the stuff you need, for typical beach prices. Good assortment, friendly staff

For the convenience of those in Southern Duck who doesn't want to venture in the nether regions of Corolla or drive 15 min south to KH, then this place serves it's purpose. It's like a pseudo upscale looking convenience store (this for sure is not your typical 7-11), and of course with inflated prices that would be approx 1-2 x your grocery store prices. But they got you in convenience. Will I come back, if I need 1 small thing and don't want to drive far, you betcha! read more

I.Love.This.Store! So convenient, so much practical merchandise and so conveniently located. Juice boxes for the kids, significant wine & beer selection, vast array of coffee creamers (dairy and variety of non-dairy varieties). Ice cream, hummus, deli, decent personal care items. I need to buy a t-shirt from here to rep this place back home! read more

Clean and good selection. Staff was friendly! We would return again when staying in Duck.

I love the apple strudel muffin. All of the bakery items are delicious. You'll be surprised when you go in for the selection of items they have. read more

Just arrived in duck and wanted to get a quick bite to eat and stopped here, and it ended up being the worst decision. It took extremely long for our 2 sandwiches. The staff were extremely rude when we were asking questions about the town. They seemed super uninterested and annoyed that we were speaking to them. Our experience was not worth the wait and rudeness we endured. read more

The staff is extremely rude with no personality. The food tastes awful and is expensive for small quantities. Most of the food in the case was old and looked expired. If I could give a zero stars I would based off my experience, with the rude staff, especially the older lady behind the counter. read more

3/3/21 This wink was normally a stop on the way out of Carrola. My parents and I would come here. Then again by myself or with my wife. We would grab snack, or drinks for the trip back home in Maryland, DC or Virginia. I have found the people who work here to be friendlier than the ones I met long ago in Corolla. I will continue coming to this one. read more

Always have great customer service. Selection is good for a small grocery store. Prices are a bit steep, but the location is for convenience. Great for when you need a few things, I wouldn't break the bank getting all your groceries here though. read more

Food is great! My favorite is the Chicken Salad Croissant or BLT, with French Fries. Staff is very friendly and they prepare your order pretty quickly! read more

This place is great for a quick stop to grab some essentials at the last minute. There is a slight upcharge it seems on some products but as far as I'm concerned, that's a premium for the convenience which is fine by me. I dont know that I've ever come to Wee Winks for something and not found it. On top of the grocery type items, their deli and breakfast sandwiches are great and pretty well priced. We stay on Marlin Dr right up the street frequently so Wee Winks is super convenient. I'm a big fan and come here a lot. read more

Great little market... good beer selection and some nice prepared food options outside the "norm".

Nice local store, prices are high but worth it for the convenience. The store has nice clean bathrooms, and a good section for cold and allergy medicine. The store also has mice friendly service and a very spacious parking lot. read more

Wee Winks Market & Deli - the store's aisles - Grocery Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

Wee winks is a small market (maybe twice the size of a 7-11, but much smaller than a supermarket) that tries to cater to the vacationer set with a wide variety of groceries in a relatively small space. They even have a very small meat section that had some decent options. Considering their proximity to a large beach house population, I was surprised at how much they didn't gouge us for what we purchased. Unfortunately the staff seemed a little dense. I asked one of the ladies behind the register if I could 'make a pile' on the large, open counter area (since I could barely hold it all). She just stared at me. I asked TWO more times and she continued to stare at me like I was speaking Croatian. Finally one of the staff behind her said "there's a shopping cart over there." So I grabbed the cart, put my stuff in, put one more item in, and then walked back 10 feet to the counter. Kinda pointless. I guess they haven't figured out the whole customer service thing yet, though this market seems to have been here for a while. Selection was pretty good considering the size. We were able to buy milk, bread, hot dogs, buns, chips, soy milk (!?), eggs, OJ, cheese, juice, pancake mix, ice cream, beer, ice, limes and tonic water (very important) read more

The positive about this place is that there is a small grocery store in the town of Duck. What isn't so positive about it is that you are paying for the convenience of this store. In all honesty this is nothing more than that without the option to buy gas for your vehicle. I ended up paying close to $10 for two small containers of a condiments. Yikes. It is a great place to run and pick up that last minute item you forgot, but all in all do not do your grocery shopping here. The staff here could use some pointers on how to interact with the customers. Better yet, just work on smiling. Sorry to have bothered you while I was in here. read more

Great store for those of us who stay in Duck! Great sandwiches and baked good. Would love to see some donuts in the bakery case.

Great grocery in the heart of Duck! You'll find pretty much any food supplies you'd find at a large-chain store. The prices are very reasonable for such a destination spot here on the OBX. They even have a little deli and bakery area with many tasty looking pastries that I'm sure are local. So glad to see a place that doesn't just want to take advantage of tourists that don't have other grocery options in the immediate area! The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. Thanks, Wee Winks! read more

Wee Winks Market & Deli - the front of the store - Grocery Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

We had to get some quick items for the beach, after getting low on supplies, such as beer and some odds and ends. For quick and convenient, A+. For high tourist prices B. They have a good selection of items if you need necessities, to include bathroom essentials, or foods. We did not order anything from the deli but it looked well stocked. read more

We were very happy to find they carried the Sunday new york times. Help was good and acknowledged us when we entered. read more

Let management know that the posted hours of operation were rarely accurate...they close early. A lot. Owner responded with what he called humor, mocking me on how all business owners, trash guys, even Amazon are challenged by Covid. Yep, as a business owner, me too! But, I keep my clientele informed at least, which was all I was asking for. So many bad Yelp ratings for unfriendly Wee Wink's staff. Well, I guess they learn how to treat people, based on how the owner(s) treats people. There's other "convenience" stores on town. read more

Stopped for breakfast on our way out and it was definitely a great choice. The staff was very friendly and the bacon, egg, and cheese bagels were delicious. Plenty of good quality food options and some souvenirs. read more

Had two sandwiches made for lunch, a little pricey compared to subway or firehouse but hey touristy town touristy prices. Support local businesses right. Lunch was fresh and tasty. read more
