    The Northern Neck is fortunate to have a store with the range of sporting and boating gear that…read moreRW's carries. I call it the Cabela's/Bass Pro of the NN without the high prices. No matter if you are in Kilmarnock, King George or even the middle peninsula this place is worth the drive to check out. It's a family store not just a bait and tackle shop but don't let that fool you. These folks know fishing, know their gear and know what the fish are biting. Huge selection of fishing gear and tackle with top brands available. Whatever the fish are biting on at that particular point in the season RW's has it. Live, fresh or artificial bait and lures are available. There is a hunting section that is smaller than the fishing side but has a good selection of decent gear as well. They carry boating equipment and supplies with the exception of high end electronics. Need a big friggin anchor or a mooring point? They have them, dock ladder? They have them too. Need trailer parts? Yep, got them too. I've been to RW's a couple of dozen times and there are still places in the store I haven't had a chance to see yet. Not just for fishing, hunting and boating, they have a nice election of Ladies, men's and kids summer clothing (mostly shirts and shorts) and the best selection of "riverware" on The Neck. Visiting friends in the NN and want to give them a nice gift for their house or cabin? Check out RW's. Great selection, good prices and friendly helpful staff.

    I only became aware of this small regional chain in October while shopping them in Roanoke, Va. I…read morewas so impressed by their upscale inventory of outdoor clothes and more. So when I learned they had a store much closer to me I had to shop them with an agenda of purchasing a new vest. The store is located in Merchants Square and replaced was a long standing independent that was beloved, "The Craft House". That part is sad to learn. The sales lady Ally was over the top friendly when I initially called to ask about their brands and inventory of vest. They carry Duck Head which I was specifically looking at. She held a few sizes for me with low inventory. When I came in she knew who I was and pulled the two out to try on. The sizing chart for the Fremont style vest had me in a Large. They calculate weight and chest size. It was correct. Unfortunately no sales on this luxury brand. I browsed the store and found more and more to purchase for myself and gifts. The Cotopaxi backpack for my daughter heading to Europe this Spring seemed perfect. I'm draw to quality and they had all the best brands for outdoors. I also looked at a Patagonia coat and Vuori pants. Unfortunately not my size. I also looked at their socks and shoes. Love that they offer Feetures socks a total favorite. Also Blundstone shoes from Australia. Checkout of all my items was smooth on a card. My items have a generous return policy of 30 days. I will absolutely return again in the coming year. If there is one negative it's the price point.

    Obviously you can buy all the stuff they have online somewhere. Having a shop willing to stock…read morethings and let me see them locally IS valuable to me--and I will buy from them whenever I can. The staff there are quite helpful and knowledgeable, and can make your time in there short and sweet. I did buy some things I shouldn't have, like some strange squeeze bags for lotions or stuff--that exploded on the trail. But, bottom line--it's a great shop with tons of gear. I like it and I hate everything pretty much.

Robynn and i have deleberately avoided participating in any black friday shopping for all the reasons we're all so familiar with. But my wife has recently become a "backpacker" and I wanted to get her fitted for a legitimate backpack so we made an exception to our black friday rule and went to the only place I would go to locally backpacking and other outdoor gear, River Rock Outfitter Even though the shop was filled with customers, Keith and April, the owners, immediately greeted us. When April finished with her customer she began the process for fitting my with a backpack. This process which included measuring her torso, what type of backpacking it was for day hikes or multiple day/night trips, types of weather, trying on multiple packs (with weigjts in the pack) took approximately 40 minutes, maybe more, but it was such a pleasant experience, it only seemed like minutes. My wife and April found the perfect pack but since it was not in the color my wife wanted, April placed in on order. We'll return in a day or two, try it on again and walk out with an early Christmas present for my wife we will now be able to share and enjoy many more years of backpacking together with a comfortable backpack. If you want professional backpacking and other outdoor expertise and a wide selection of high quality gear from a polite, courteous, friendly local business, go to River Rock Outfitters; you will not be disappointed.

Prices are on par with what you can find elsewhere, though they have a nice and rotating consignment area consisting of used gear of varying prices.

The location is a restaurant, bar and convenience and liquor store all in one. Our server took our order and brought our drinks out shortly after. To eat, we ordered the Rockfish Bites which came with "beach fries" and a dozen blue crab to share. The dozen crabs were $48 - you also could do all you could eat crabs for the same price and you got chicken, hush puppies and fries. We figured that was too much, so we opted for the dozen to share amongst 4 people. I think it was a perfect amount for us and how hungry we were. Our server could've been better. We needed paper on our table and she brought it out as our crabs came out so we had to pick everything up, our drinks and apps off the table for her to set it down. We also wanted more drinks and other things and had to call her over. Wasn't the best, nor worst service. We were staying at Frontier Town almost directly across the highway, so convenience factor was high.

I saw a sign on my way in that this place had crabs so decided to check it out and glad I did. Crabs were on point, price was right, steamed while I waited. This place is also a convenient store on one side that looks like it's got anything you could want and small dive bar on the other. Definitely check this place out!
