''This Food Lion runs out of everything during the summer months! It is extremely overcrowded, and the long lines make it an unenjoyable experience! It is worth the trip to go a bit further to other stores for all your grocery needs!...''

''This grocery store blows away the competition! Staff is friendly and helpful and the store is exceptionally well-stocked. We celebrated two birthdays while here and the coconut and old fashioned fudge cakes obtained in the bakery section rivaled those of a specialty bakery. For a nominal charge, the staff even blew up the helium balloons I provided. We'll keep coming back !...''

''As a regular shopper at health food stores, I was delighted to find this one when I moved to Manteo. The service is generally good and they have a decent selection of products. The prices, however, are a bit more than what you will find at similar stores in other areas. They also downsized and got rid of their bulk spice/dry goods section, which was my main reason for going there. While I will shop there if I'm in the area, it's not practical to make a separate trip....''

''I am usually a Wal-Mart shopper but in Dare County Wal-Mart is so far away. K-Mart seems to be better positioned on the island for the type of store that it is. It is very easy to get in and out of and it seems to be well stocked. The service is fine so this is a great store and my #1 general store for the Outer Banks...''
