The workers are so nice and there to help you also....''

''I'm 11 years old and I've been coming to Ocracoke my whole life. They have great pirate stuff! My sister and I bought swords....''

''We have eaten here several times; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Seating is limited and they can get quiet busy but the food is excellent. (I love their breakfast). If you are looking for an EXCEPTIONAL wedding cake taste theirs - possibly one of the best I've ever tasted and they designed one to our specs - it was beautiful....''

''A stop at the Blue Whale has been a family tradition since we began visiting the Outer Banks in the mid 1970s. Our kids got a t-shirt there every year & now the grand kids want one, too. Friendly place with the basics in groceries & beach gear....''

''We go to all these stores every year on vacation. The staff is always friendly and helpful and we love all the free samples. Many people don't know that this is a family owned and operated business and your likely to see one of them in any of the three stores. By the time you leave, you will feel like a part of the family as well....''

''We ordered my daughter's wedding cake from Tullio's late Sept. 2007. I found the owner to be very helpful and accommodating. The cake was delivered to the restaurant exactly when he promised and it was lovely. These cakes are not your run-of-the-mill chain grocery store cakes. They tend to be a dense cake with frosting that is not overly sweet. My mother-in-law is from NY and is accustomed to fine Italian bakeries and she, along with everyone else, thought it was delicious....''
