PHARMACY DEPARTMENT Worst pharmacy! Rude, rude rude. When I tried to switch my prescriptions over…read morefrom Family Care Pharmacy, they were extremely unhelpful. Really rude to people in line before me & very expensive. Absolutely could not have had a easier transition at Realo Pharmacy in Cape Carteret. Which often times my copay is Zero!!! Unfortunately there is no way to split up this review. Employees in the different departments are awesome, helpful, & nice! Love the beauty & photo department. Even the people who help in the medicine section, just not the pharmacy. Super nice employees that check you out at the front too. I very rarely fill scripts here, only if realo is closed. Recently, I had to have a script called in to Walgreens & went thru the drive thru and the window was out of order. Good luck & hope others have a better experience here.

They display a bunch of unique snacks and food, in addition to a plethora of wines, beer and champagne. But the real gem is the case at the front of the store next to the register that holds the HUGE homemade truffles. I did not get a picture of them all because I ate them too quickly, but I got the banana split, the pb fudge, strawberry something or other and they all were fantastic. I went back to bring some home with me. Would go back solely for these truffles.

I was expecting high prices at a grocery store on the beach, but was surprised by this little IGA…read more They had everything I needed and the prices were reasonable. I even found Southern specialties that I love and had been craving including stone ground grits and pimento cheese. The store is neat, tidy and well-organized. They carry all meats except fresh seafood. Most of the vegetables looked very fresh (except the cucumbers). The clerk was jovial and efficient. A second clerk was proactively helpful. 5 Star service. There seems to be plenty of parking. I'll be back.
