''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....''

''i absolutely LOVE this store. for the week that i was in outer banks, i can honestly admit that me and my family probably dropped by one of these stores every single day that we were down there .. haha you can get so many things at cheap prices. Especially last minute things, such as a new bathing suit.

I highly recommend this store for new vistors in the area!!! :)...''

''The food was fabulous and well presented. The chef knows how to serve Tuna (our favorite) and he's terrific with shellfish too. Double filtered water, was a pleasant surprise; no chlorine!

The only knock is that the physical surroundings need some fine tuning. The wallpaper is peeling and doesn't blend well with the tongue and groove wood paneling in the nect section. Dry wall joints are separating, obviously due to a moisture problem in the building. This however, did not keep us from enjoyi...''

''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....''

''This is a great stop if you live here or just visiting. Wonderful pretzels, lots of variety. Don't forget to try the cinnamon ones. Great array of dips such as chocolate, cream cheese, and nacho cheese. Sooo Goood!!...''

''We just made our second trip to Salty Paws, so now it's officially one of our traditional stops to make as part of our visit to OBX. We purchased the mini biscuits in a variety of flavors, and our boxer seems to love them. It's a really cute store, nice and clean and everyone we met was very friendly. If you're taking your pet to the beach, you should definitely bring them in to get a great homemade treat....''

''I have been taking my family to the Outer Banks for over 20 years. It has become a tradition that each time someone new comes along, we get them a Duck T-Shirt from Gray's. The store is clean and well organized and the staff is very helpful. The Duck T-Shirts are humorous and my kids look forward to getting their new Duck shirt each year....''

''I love this store. Unique, fun, and great service.. it is a must go!...''

''If you are a book buyer, then this is the best store on the barrier islands! It has everything for every family member. I also recommend using the Currituck County Library system which offers free library cards to seasonal visitors!...''

''The food here is truly incredible. Don't miss!...''

''Wonderful food provided by even more wonderful people! This place definitely deserves more attention....''

''This is an awesome shop. Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic linens. Helen Kaminski hats and handbags. So much to look at. Definately one of the best places to shop in OBX....''

''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....''

''This is a little jewel of a shop that is filled with wonderful luxury items. The bed linens are enticing, the handmade soaps are special and have lovely fragrences and the handmade clothing is terrific. The sales personnel could not be more helpful. I remembered something I wanted after I returned home to NH and they giftwrapped and shipped my items without a fuss. I cant wait to return....''

''Always helpful,very courteous and very efficient...........''

''Been coming to the beach and buying seafood here for the past 30 years and it is fantastic. The price of crabs hasn't changed in at least 9 years! I love it!...''

''I must say that the ''Hot Southern Nuts'' are perfectly seasoned....''
