Reviews for Back Porch Restaurant in Ocracoke, NC
They had pretty good food, but the wait to even place out order was really long. Understandably they were busy. The food was... alright for me. I just had the dragon bowl since I decided to come to seafood restaurant and be vegetarian. Read more
Excellent food, Excellent service. The hostess was friendly and efficient, the waitress was very helpful with the descriptions... of the food and great suggestions from the ?Interesting Reds? wine list. The seafood was hot and well spiced. The bacon wrappedscallops were excellent, plenty for the tree of us, and the Parker rolls mopped up the sauce- yummy. I had the Sheepshead fish(for the first time) with a light, buttery sauce. The Vietnamese lemon sauce on the Spanish Mackerel (my husband?s dish) wasperfectly cooked d we it?s just enough heat. The Poke bowl was an excellent choice for our nephew. We had the yummy mintchocolate chip ice cream to finish the meal. The portions were quite large and we have lunch for tomorrow. Read more
Our waitress was amazing- best service ever. We got a poke bowl and the red pepper Parmesan pasta. Fettuccini Alfredo is my... favorite meal ever and this was a GREAT twist. Great atmosphere and great drinks! Read more
The server was fantastic. The desert was fantastic. The drink was just okay. Nice quite cozy environment, my table was in the... screened in porch. Read more
$29 for a seafood platter is asking a lot for 3 scallops, 7 shrimp, and a fish fillet. The restaurant is popular. The restaurant... does not take advance reservations, which would have been fine if they had handled seating us properly. (They did not). Staffwere pleasant but needed more help. Not a pleasant experience for us. Read more
Nice restaurant located in a residential area off the highway. Menu items are different from the usual and very tasty. Service... great. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. Highly recommended. Read more
Really great place for dinner. Fresh ingredients and great flavors. We had calamari, pan seared scallops, and the Tuna that... was on special. We sat on the "back porch" amd it was lovely. Service was friendly and quick! I personally can't wait to goback. Read more
I reluctantly paid $32 plus tax for the shrimp and scallops over egg fettuccine plate which contained five average-sized shrimp... and two small scallops. The portion size, noodles included, was no bigger than my fist. Currently scallops should cost around$20 per pound...PER POUND. I only received 2 puny ones. The waitress asked if everything was alright, and I explained that I wasexpecting more food for the price of the meal. She noticeably avoided me for the rest of my dining experience. I was obviouslyjust a tourist at the end of a long summer to her. Not a fan. Will not recommend and will never come back. Read more
