Editorial reviews from the web (2)

"Once in a blue moon, you have to taste life on a sandbar," says the sign over the bar at this small, quirky and locally popular restaurant. The lively vibe, friendly bartenders, generous portions, and an open kitchen make first-timers feel at home and keep regulars returning. Although the staples of the menu are Southern comfort food "with a twist," you can embark on a little culinary...

Blue Moon Beach Grill Restaurant Review

Heading through the doorway, patrons won't have high expectations for this corner restaurant; once inside, however, they'll discover a very nicely done establishment that combines a large, upscale bar area, well-spaced tables and an open kitchen. Add to those attributes local artwork, a breezy décor and professional service. The lunch menu features many specialty sandwiches, including burgers,...

Since our last visit to Blue Moon Beach Grill in April 2018, they have added some additional seating and opened up the place some.
This time, we thought that our service was even better than the service we had in April. It is very obvious...

The amount of attention that goes into the food and the service that comes with it is absolutely amazing. I recommend this place and have full intentions of going back.
I strongly suggest the claim chowder. The mahi-mahi sandwich is incredibly tasty as well.

Food was good. Paid 4$ for side salad couldn't replace fries with that..they had other things that could have replaced it. Food was good. Crab cakes were ok.

The peppered corvina salad with candied cherries, pecans, goat cheese and apples was outstanding. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and accomplished. The owners seem to have a great love for the arts and support local artisans by hosting their exhibits. If you're in Nags Head, this is the place to dine!!

The oyster and calamari apps are delicious. I had the pulled Pork with slaw. It is to die for. My husband had the Beach Burger. He loved it with the homestyle fries. Blue Moon Beach Grill is a "must go to place" while visiting OBX.

Every year as we return to the beach we always make sure to eat at the Blue Moon, even if we go nowhere else.

The service is excellent, the food is always well-prepared and tasty, and the wine list is a pleasure to choose from.

If you go nowhere else to eat out, go to the Blue Moon!

Vastly over-rated. Not a bad place but nothing is great either , people have loooow standards. Nice atmosphere and the waitress was great, but nothing about the food is all that impressive to me. Tried the fish and tacos, BBQ, portobello sandwhich, fries and more. For this type of money you should get great food, not one dish was the best in its class for the beach, plenty of better places than...

Awesome Outer Banks Local Restaurant. Service and food is awesome! Very large portions you won't leave here hungry.

It took a couple of years before we were finally able to get an opportunity to visit the Blue Moon Beach Grill. We were promptly seated after a short wait, I think we were fortunate to beat the lunch crowd which began to queue up at the front of the restaurant.
