I have been shopping with frog Island for almost a decade. The first time I complained about…read moresomething - 2 pounds of the steam shrimp being completely overcooked and inedible - and called right away. I was treated like a criminal. I was told by Hannah, apparently the daughter of the owner, that she couldn't do anything, but finally agreeing to replace 1 pound of the 2 pounds I purchased. No refund option. (I live 45 minutes away) I went in, gave them another chance to do the right thing, talked to them again, and they still refused to give me a refund or replace the whole order. They said I should've taken a picture of the overcooked shrimp. Huh? In what world does that even make sense? And I asked her, the day I talked to her about this, if she wanted me to pick the shrimp out out of the garbage and bring it to her and she said no. I guess they have enough business that they don't need the locals. It's a shame. But I am not ever going to do business with them again. Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Whatever happened to standing by your product?

First let me say that I normally don't like fried seafood because it's usually heavily breaded and…read moregreasy. Same goes for the leaden greasy hushpuppies. Well, you won't find that here!! Stumbled upon this unassuming gem while traveling for business. The number of cars in the parking lot was a good indication. When you walk in, it looks like a typical fish market that you would find in this area with a fish counter full of fresh offerings. Go around the counter & you'll see some tables & booths and a window into a small kitchen. You order at the register next to the window & are given a number. When your order is ready, you go to the counter to pick up. We were in heaven when we got our food! Everything was fried to perfection with a light flavorful coating. The scallops were huge & fresh! The soft shell crab was out of this world!...so juicy and flavorful!! The hushpuppies...I have to rave about these!! They're light, with a delicate crispy outside leading to an almost cake-like interior. They were delicious!!! The portions were generous and the prices excellent. Best of all is that this is obviously family run. Needless to say we polished off everything. This place is a definite keeper on my list & I honestly am still covering another taste of those scallops & soft shell crab. If you want ambiance, this isn't it. If you want service, this isn't it either....BUT if you want great Down East seafood, THIS is a must try!

The food was an OK. My pulled pork had a smoky taste but was definitely dry. In a state known for pork BBQ, this was average at best. The slaw, however, tasted very fresh and was not mayonnaisey ; I liked it. The hand-cut fries were OK, but would have been excellent if they had been hot. My dining companion's burger was cooked as requested and she thought it was very good. Service was OK, but definitely not overly attentive. Compared to prices down the road in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, the restaurant is a good value. Based on our experience, BJ's Carolina Cafe mainly caters to a local crowd. All in all, it's fine, especially if it's nearby or on your way to/from Outer Banks.

So lots of small rooms upstairs allowing us privacy to enjoy ourselves and be as loud as we wanted with worrying about those around us. There were only two waitresses for the entire restaurant and they had to walk up the flight of stairs to drinks us drinks and food. I started off with the loaded potato soup which was tasty with bacon. Then I had the shrimp Po boy with local shrimp. The shrimp were good however the bread wasn't. It felt like it was day old not a fresh from the oven. I heard issues with all of the bread at the table which was unfortunate as the inside treats were tasty. Including the soft shell crabs which we were informed had been caught by the owner. The shrimp and scallop soup also had good flavor but the pear and cheese appetizer was lacking flavor and the dough was too thick. I did hear that the restaurant was somewhat new so they have a few things to work out.

Then I waited another 15 minutes for my simple meal of 2 eggs and toast. Waitress never checked on me or rest of the table. I got up while waiting and told her this was not acceptable to wait 25 minutes after everyone had been served. I expected to get my $7.00 meal free. Got the check with a 38 cents ($0.38)deduction.
