Blue Moon Beach Grill

The best food we have had in the Outer Banks. My husband and I were in town for a week, so it was convenient that we could snag seats at the bar. It was lively, but not distracting. The bartender (Alex) was great! Mussels - 10/10 Crab and Pimento Cheese Dip - 8/10 Beef Bulgogi (special) - 10/10 Crab cake - 8/10 ( wish it would have had more of a crust) Spinach and Arugula salad with Shrimp - 10/10 Will go back here every single time we visit the Outer Banks.

There are many dining options in the Outer Banks area. This one stood out as we thoroughly enjoyed the dishes offered! They have a diverse menu, from land and sea to handhelds. The pricing does reflect that of higher end, but it's backed up with the well prepared entrees and presentation. Dining area give a casual and relaxed vibe. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Try visiting early, as peak hours tends to get fairly busy, and may have to wait awhile to get a table. Perfect place to dine for a special occasion, or just enjoy a flavorful meal.

Everyday we drove by lunch time or dinner time, the parking lot was packed. We decided to visit for lunch. The fried calamari was very good & different, served with a lemon butter sauce underneath the crispy calamari. The oyster Rockefeller was also very good with large fresh oysters & fresh spinach covered with breadcrumbs, cheese & sauce. My salad with blackened shrimps was so good. I would order it again. Wife ordered the swordfish & grits with collard greens. Grits were on the sweet side with the Cajun honey sauce. Greens were cooked perfectly. 2 thumbs up!
