What looks like a plain old gas station from the road is actually a good-vibes-only outpost for hungry musicians, fishermen, and beach bums alike. Sheffield’s is our jam whenever we roll through Ocean Isle — fresh local shrimp for the fishin’ line, chicken for the crab pots, and even people food that’ll make you feel like you’re headlining a seafood festival. Grouper, shrimp, crab legs — all fresh and ready to rock.
They’ve got the kind of grocery stash that saves you from driving over the bridge — onions, lemons, spices, kid snacks, and a solid beer and wine selection that hits the right notes every time. Family-owned with friendly staff that treat you like part of the crew.
Our tour pup, Dolly Parton, got her first whiff of pompano, whiting, and even a baby shark (doo doo doo doo) thanks to Sheffield’s bait. Bonus points for fair gas prices and for how much fishing gear they actually have in there—everything you need.
Sheffield’s is the ultimate encore stop for your Ocean Isle gig. keep on...

If you don't want people to park in certain spots then CLEARLY post it. I'll just make my purchases across the bridge...

On the fourth time i didnt respond and he says, "can you hear me?" I hid some raw shrimp that i was planning on buying way in the back of one of the shelves and left without buying any of the things I was planning on buying. They just lost a $50 sale outta me cause of that big rude fat man in the back. I hope you guys find that shrimp cause its gonna start...
