''Great place! Excellent products, friendly staff....''

''Had a fantastic lunch there today. Ordered a bowl of clam chowder while I waited for my fried shrimp boat. There were a lot of clams in it too, which was a plus. Enjoyed those plump shrimp which came with shack chips & cole slaw. All very delicious. Will be going back to enjoy the food & the view....''

''Service is great the people are friendly. The place to go for seafood and steamed crabs!...''

''I read the reviews and decided to check out the place. I was not impressed with the quality of the seafood. The crab cakes were mostly bread (prepackaged frozen by Casey's Seafood Newport News, VA). The cocktail sauce on the shelf was outdated (expiration date was 01/28/08), so I had to go to Harris Teeter to get cocktail sauce. The steamed shrimp was average.

''The Butcher Block is the ONLY place to buy steaks at the beach. The quality is unmatched by anyone else here. Excellent service and an ultra clean shop. They also are the only Boar's Head Deli in Nags Head. You've gotta try this place. The sandwiches are awsome. Great job Butcher Block!...''

''I had 12 people for dinner and went to Austin's for tuna steaks. I left with wonderful suggestions and marinades for the grill. Dinner was superb! The tuna was fresh and perfect. I really wanted to stop by before my return trip to NY to thank you in person, but time ran out. Thank you for your help; you were really patient with me and your suggestions worked just great. Not only is your product excellent, but your service and assistance is an asset to Rodanthe. car....''

''We stopped at Ocracoke Seafood not knowing what we wanted to try. We asked what they suggested would be good on the grill and/or panfried. They set us up with some outstanding locally caught fish. We will be shopping there again on our next trip....''
