Leila LedbetterNovember 25, 2016The fried oysters were great. Fat and crispy and hot. We also has the chocolate coconut bread pudding. It was really good. Waitstaff was amazing.
Brent NultemeierJanuary 2, 2013This restaurant is hands down becoming one of my favorite places to eat on the Outer Banks. Their food is fresh and fantastic. A lot of my friends rage about the philly cheese steak. Seafood ROCKS!
Toni AdkinsJune 22, 2016The crabcake sandwich is fresh and wonderful, along with the orange infused margaritas and the Philly cheese steak was flavorful!!!
Michele DavidsonApril 1, 2017Doesn't look like much from the outside but was really really good. So glad we discovered it. Everything we ate was amazing but especially loved fried green tomato and shrimp and mussels
James FiltzAugust 5, 2015The jerk wings are magically special--a familiar item with such a profoundly special flavor. The spinach arugula salad is also craveable. An exceptionally well run establishment!- Megan CooperAugust 6, 2013Husband and I shared Mahi Mahi BLT w/ fries and Caribbean Pulled Pork w/ black beans and rice. SO GOOD!!! Everything was "the best we've ever had." Fun atmosphere too!
Try the Fried Calamari - fried calamari ~ flash-fried and tossed in a light white wine, cherry pepper and lemon butter sauce (via @Foodspotting)
Jon McGillDecember 28, 2017Amazing food and service! The spicy Senorita drink is great, so were Napoleon shrimp and fried green tomatoes. Specials excellent as well- Jeremy CAugust 26, 2014Fried green tomato and shrimp appetizer is a must. Good beer selection. The fried oysters were tasty and one of the largest portion sizes I've ever had.
ayeen c.July 5, 2015carribean pulled pork sandwich is good! and the Jerk Marinated and Char-grilled Wings is awesome!
Everything! Service here remarkable! Friendly and the best food !!! Don't miss out the coconut shrimp🍤‼️
Kelly DiskinMay 15, 2015The Fried Green Tomato & Shrimp appetizer was fantastic and the crab cakes are stellar with tons of meat. Ask for them broiled.
Samir LJanuary 18, 2021Burgers and the shrimp not a burger were amazing!! Great outdoor seating with table service and lots of sunlight/outdoor heaters.
Audrey DouglassJuly 18, 2014Shrimp not a burger=the most delicious sandwich ever made. It's on the lunch menu, but they'll make it for dinner because they're just that nice.
William GrayMarch 18, 2013Hooray for freshly ground hamburger cooked to order and fresh cut fries. Elevated dining experience relative to the location and price. Good for kids and adults.
LilchelpzJanuary 5, 2023Literally 10 years since the last visit and I came for the same delicious sandwhich. Shrimp not a burger. ♥️
Sarah PolgreenJune 27, 2013Good food at great prices. Sit at the bar for excellent, fast service. Make sure to try the jalapeño dip with your French fries.- Try the Cajun Crawfish Fritters - cajun crawfish fritters ~ with jerk honey mustard (via @Foodspotting)
Melissa JarboeDecember 26, 2013Great food & Staff! Try the Bouillabaisse & merlot! Amazing! Thank you Blue Moon! @outerbanks this is a great spot!
Dawn FinnFebruary 24, 2020Lauren gave great customer service and the management stopped by twice. The food came out quick and was very delicious. This would be a great recommendation for you.- Try the Buffalo Tuna Bites - buffalo tuna bites ~ with buttermilk blue cheese dressing (via @Foodspotting)
Adam HarrisMay 28, 2013Phenomenal menu. Oysters Rockefeller were great. Don't let the fact that its in a strip mall sway you. Hidden gem.
Stephanie O'HareAugust 5, 2021The “shrimp not a burger” was absolutely delicious! I can’t rave about it enough. So GOOD!!!
Lauren Nassetta BellApril 14, 2016I'm a local and this is a favorite spot for us. Try the scallop appetizer..it's amazing!
Melissa PattersonJuly 14, 2015Not an awesome experience. We waited over an hour...my husband had the Shrimp and Grits and really disliked it. I had pasta with shrimp and crab. It lacked flavor and the crab was hard to find.
Never had a bad experience here..always fresh..try the Buffalo Shrimp! 🍤🌶🍤
Tinsley WJune 5, 2013Shrimp "Not a Burger" is outstanding! Have a Blue Moon Margarita while you're at it!
Best shrimp and grits, but can't go wrong w shrimp not a burger or the mahi mahi BLT
Nancy NassettaJune 23, 2014We love having lunch here! Not as crowded. The food and wait staff are wonderful!
David RothMay 9, 2013Our best meal this vacation... Save room for key lime pie, served w/ slice o' lime... Ha!
LBSeptember 25, 2011Try the Calamari for an app. The sauce is awesome. Can't go wrong with The Fish Tacos and the Crabcakes- Matt SaidMay 28, 2012Loved the food! Mahi mahi blt is great. Rivals kill devil grill as best at the beach
Jenny BoJuly 13, 2013The wings are awesome! But watch out for the fried oysters. They were frozen and not cooked all the way through - definitely not fresh.
Larissa BJune 29, 2011Delicious basket of fresh local fish! Very nice wine and beer lists, and lovely friendly owners! Great little spot!
Ask for Tyra, she has been there since day one. She will take great care of you! The food is always great!!
The fish & chips are Deelish! Definitely worth the splurge!
Matt SweeleySeptember 16, 2011I would agree Tyra is the best! OMG try the Mahi Mahi BLT. <----- The best ever!!!
