For our last night on OBX we wanted a great dinner. Thanks to fellow Trip Advisors, we were steered to Blue Moon Grill. Hubby ordered shrimp on grits, I had oyster caesar salad----amazing! A side of hot parmesan bread and a shared key lime pie rounded out the meal. Service was excellent, kitchen staff and management were top drawer !... More

We found this place a couple years ago and after 5 or 6 visits for both lunch and dinner, we have never been disappointed. We hit lunch last weekend just about noon and were promptly sat (4 adults, 2 high chairs). Within 10 minutes it was standing room only so we made it just in time. We started with the... More

Had a great first experience. Don't be put-off by the location (strip mall), great food is to be found inside! Can easily see why this is rated so highly for the outer banks restaurants. Plenty of space for our party of 8. Everyone's food was great and the staff was attentive.

The best mussels ever!!! Everything was delicious and the service was attentive without being intrusive---a delightful culinary experience! A visit to the Outer Banks has to include at least one meal at Blue Moon!!!

This was the first place my husband and I ate on our trip to Nags Head, based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. It did not dissappoint! Enjoy a glass of wine while you wait, and get to know the others who are waiting! Once seated, my husband ordered the Mahi BLT and fries, it was wonderful! I had the... More

My husband and I went to Blue Moon on the recommendation of the locals and boy did we love it! For appetizers we got the scallops and the shrimp Napoleon. I will dream about the scallops and the shrimp was fantastic. I got the fish tacos which were good and my husband got their casear salad which he said was... More

We went to Blue Moon on the recommendation of a few locals and it was a very pleasant surprise. Server was friendly and prompt, great with the kids. Food was excellent - crab cakes were moist and tasteful, the Beach Burger earns its reputation (awesome with cheddar and grilled onion)! The Caesar Salad was unique and a great opener, had... More

Stopped in here to get some good seafood. It is on the beach and has gotten good reviews so we thought it would be great. The menu has a very limited selection, our meals were basically tasteless, hardly any seasoning and everything is overpriced for the quantity and quality you get. The drinks were very weak (here again the prices... More

Thank you MikeM for your feedback concerning your experience at Blue Moon Beach Grill. We take reviews very serious and use them as a learning tool. My first inclination was to “run from your review”. However, on refection and investigation, and in the interest of fairness, I think it is appropriate to respond. Obviously, your dining experience was not what... More

This is the first Sunday that the Blue Moon Beach Grill has opened. It was excellent. I especially enjoyed the jerk Mahi special. The house pinot grigio is also excellent.
