“Ate there on my birthday. May 22. Food was great. I had the sheepshead and my husband had the oysters. Chloe, our waitress was wonderful. She treated us to a bowl of the famous chowder and chocolate cake. We loved it so much until we stopped on the way to the ferry and bought some frozen. Everything we ate was perfect..“

“I've come to the Outer Banks for years and heard of Pops. By the outside it doesn't seem like much, but my wife and I went in and WOW. My first opinion was dead wrong. Wait staff were friendly. It was packed but the food came out quickly. I went with the fried shrimp dinner and I left a full, happy man. One last detail...holy cow that cocktail sauce was spot on! You can tell it's home made. Good stuff here!“
