Barry's On Walnut Island Lodge

This local restaurant is a hidden surprise with great food and great service. It is located on a marsh and has nice views of the water. Our server, Sandy, went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stop back in when we are over in Eastern NC again.

Barry's is a unique spot filled with all kinds of oddities. Every visit I spot something different. Friendly staff awesome drinks and live music. Definitely will be

It was really nice meeting you and Donna at the bike show today but the red ultra glide was not the best Touring bike Having somebody have his family and Friends show up to pad the votes for his bike knowing it's not the best bike there like there just seems wrong Judging should have been done in a different way

Staff was very friendly, we stayed outside and enjoyed the day with drinks and music. It was my first time there, will definitely go back

Great hidden spot along the main road toward OBX! (Turn at the Hardee 's/Royal Farms and keep on goin ' to the end of the road. It 's definitely a local divey hideaway, with tons of cool and eclectic rural backwoods decor. GREAT FOOD. The boom boom shrimp sauce was really good, and the mushrooms had an unusual-looking, yet fantastic, coating and fry! Huge portion of those huge shrooms, as the photo shows. The 1 lb. portion of Steamed Shrimp was also huge! I guess I didn 't realize how large the shrimp would be, and there are 15-20 in that bucket. They DO go very heavy on the Old Bay! I turned over the top shrimp so it wouldn 't be so visible in the photo. Our awesome server Karen told us it would be that way, and next time I 'll ask for light-to-no seasoning, because it really was very heavy (and therefore, salty . But still excellent! I never leave seafood on the plate, but there was just too much for me to finish. Google before you visit, because I understand the hours can vary. But worth the trip if you 're looking for downhome rural waterside! Hubby and stepson have already been back several times on their Harleys, both for lunch and dinner. They love the hometown Cheers feel of the bar.
