Do yourself a favor and follow them here on Facebook and stop down for a great time. See YOU at the Backstreet Pub! Cheers!”

“My husband wanted to try Fried Soft Shell Crab and while we were in Beaufort NC we saw that Blackbeard’s had it on the menu. He ordered the build your own combo with the shrimp. He thought it was phenomenal and said the shrimp was the best he has had. I tried a cup of the Chowder and the Bisque. Both were really good but the chowder was my favorite. Carol our waitress was amazing, we were asking her about the soft shell crab and she gave us some history on the place. If you are in the area, make sure to eat here, you won’t be disappointed.”

Each bowl is made with the freshest ingredients—you can taste the care and creativity in every bite. The portions are generous, the flavors are perfectly balanced, and the presentation is always beautiful.

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday, food was great. Restaurant was clean, but as we waited for our food and looked out at your front patio, it was sad to see the dead potted hibiscus trees. They can't be outdoors below 50°... if you had brought them inside in that sunny area for the winter, they would be blooming like mine is right now. You need to make your outdoor area visually appealing, instead of looking like you don't care about the place.”

“Went to Jersey Mike's expecting to meet a guy named Mike from Jersey. Turns out, no Mike. No New Jersey. Just sandwiches. But let me tell you, these subs? They legally shouldn't be this good. I took one bite and suddenly remembered my childhood pet turtle, Greg, who I never actually owned.

The bread? Softer than my last breakup. The meat? Sliced so thin, I questioned the laws of physics. I asked the cashier if they used a particle accelerator to cut the ham, and he just nodded like he understood.

Anyway, I left with a sub and a renewed sense of purpose. 10/10, would get existential over a sandwich again.”
