“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.“

“Our group met in the private room, which was spacious and beautiful. We were all able to hear each other (important in a writer's group), and our server did an amazing job of handling food, drink, and bills for about 20 people. Food was great (as were cocktails), and we plan to return.“

“The food is delicious and amazing! This is the place to visit when you are in the area.“

“We celebrated our 35th anniversary with a wonderful experience at 34 North. The food was incredible. We did not need the steak knives to cut our steaks very tender. Used the regular case knives. The water views were great and the ambiance was laid back but upscale. Our server, Shannon, was excellent. She provided great recommendations and was polite and attentive. We enjoyed her as our server. Based upon her recommendation we returned to the next morning for their delicious blueberry pancakes. So glad we did. The restaurant is off the normal Beaufort waterfront but is worth the 5 minute drive to another waterfront with fantastic sunsets! Highly recommend this establishment.“

“"The food was delicious." I had the fish sandwich with a delightful, light, crispy batter and enough fish for two sandwiches. My wife had a shrimp basket, which she found very good. The service was excellent, even though the place was busy. Our server, KC, was very attentive to beverage refills, which is always a big plus for me. To top it off, we dined outdoors with an excellent waterside view."

Let me share my personal experience at the Dock House:

"Whenever we vacation on Emerald Isle, a visit to the Dock House in Buford is a must. Despite the restaurant's 3.7-star review on Google, our experiences have always been fantastic. The staff, especially during lunch, are a perfect blend of friendly and professional. And the drinks, whether it's a soda, beer, or a gin and tonic with Emperis Gin, are always on point."

"It's worth noting that some of the negative reviews may stem from misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations. For instance, the tables are reserved for dining patrons, not just those ordering drinks. It's unfortunate that someone gave them a 1-star review for that. But it's important to remember that every establishment has its own policies and it's best to approach them with an open mind."

My advice? Ignore the negativity, approach with friendliness and courtesy, and you'll undoubtedly enjoy your experience at Dock House. Remember, it's not just about the food and drinks, but also about the atmosphere and the people you're with. Here's to good food, great drinks, and memorable moments! Cheers!“
