    Tasty takeout that holds up well
    Crosby R.

    If you're on the hunt for a low-key spot with major flavor vibes on the beach, this is your new go-to. Their pickle-brined chicken sandwich is *next level*. The chicken is crazy tender and super crispy, with that perfect pickle punch that keeps you coming back (and I don't even like pickles!). With a fresh new chef (whose soups are supreme and comparable to a Michelin starred spot in NYC) running the show, this hidden gem is about to blow up--get in before everyone else does! Seriously - have never had a bad dish here. They always have fun specials to accompany the cute patio under the fairy lights on the walk out to the beach. Great view and vibes. I always forget to take pics of the food because I always dig right in, but check out the patio eco friendly take out containers when you are stuffed from the great portion sizes :) I would say that the hours in google and some other sites seem to be wrong. They're actually open til 10 as they accommodated our large party at 9 when google maps said they were closed!

    Today we decided to go out for "brekkies" but we had the same criteria: must have waterside view. While this adorable bistro technically had a waterside view it was limited by the sea grass. Still...it is RIGHT on the beach. This was breakfast so there is nothing stunning to report. We each had the 2 stack of pancakes and asked for crunchy bacon. Boy did they give us crunchy? Very yummy. Our server Amanda was very exuberant for a breakfast place. Very sunny and cheerful. The ONLY drawback was the coffee. It was not very good coffee. It's a shame because the rest of the meal was so charming. The cost was more than reasonable with plenty of parking.

    A hidden gem on the beach, great food and great service! Had amazing tacos and wings and they serve my favorite Happy Dad flavors!

    We were in the area and this place sounded good to us for lunch. There was plenty of parking as the restaurant is inside a hotel (very cute looking hotel from the outside!). The service was very friendly. You could eat either inside or out; we chose outside for the beautiful weather. We ordered the chicken sandwich and the tuna bites with cole slaw on the side. Ranking from the most delicious: tuna bites and chicken sandwich tied in first place, fries were delicious and crispy (dip it in the sauce that comes with the tuna bites), and the cole slaw came in last but was refreshing between each bite. The chicken sandwich had a generous amount of toppings, and the sauce complimented the meat deliciously. While this is beachside, we were hoping for ocean views. Nonetheless, we had blue skies and pretty views of North Carolina nature (tall beach grass on the sand). Thank you, Beachside Bistro!

    Went for a late-ish breakfast on a Wednesday and were able to get seated outdoors next to the dunes at an umbrella table with a bench seat and ocean views. Enjoyed the egg white omelet with fruit, in particular. While we didn't indulge, the parties around us were sipping mimosas. Only downside was the limited kids menu (although our granddaughter did enjoy her huge pancake). All in all it was a lovely way to start the day.

    We ate here bc it's on property. You can sit inside or outside. Some umbrellas don't cover all the seats. So after sitting out there for a bit we moved inside. The decor is cute and I liked the lighthouse theme was fantastic. We saw one the day before. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

    We went to the bistro several times while staying at the Sea Ranch for 2 nights. Everyone that works there is delightful & it's right off the beach! Phil Watson performs on Wednesday evenings. He's super talented! Recommend banana bread French toast and obx grits bowl for breakfast. Don't forget the espresso martini! Recommend the catch of the day for lunch or dinner. We had tuna for two days. It was that good! The bartender makes a mean cocktail and all the glasses are chilled. Such a nice touch! Thank you so much for amazing food, drinks and hospitality.

    Great view of beach and ocean from Beachside Bistro!

    Great atmosphere and food! We had crab dip, buffalo wings and for our entree we had the scallop linguine! The band was playing, Phil Watson is the guy that was there that night, he was awesome! We had a view, great food and awesome music! Checked all the boxes for us!

    Quick service, tasty food, and fun atmosphere. We were there on a Sunday and had our pick of football games to watch.

    Great breakfast food and service. Really sweet waitress. Potions are solid sizes. You can see the beach! My kids loved the patio.

    Blue Moon Beach Grill - Buffalo shrimp

    Blue Moon Beach Grill

    Great food and service in bright, sunny restaurant which is modern with a beachy feel…read more Dined here for lunch and was very happy with the meal. I had the blackened mahi-mahi BLT sandwich which was perfectly cooked and served with over a pound of french fries. Not going to lie; the fries were fantastic. Nicely seasoned and not greasy. I ended up eating the mahi open-faced to avoid spilling on myself but the fish, tomato slice and lettuce were all delicious. It also came with a crisp pickle spear. My wife got the ceasar salad and added a skewer of blackened shrimp. The shrimp were tasty but could have stood a little more spice. They have a nice wine selection including a good selection available by the glass. Also a nice beer selection with some local/NC beers on tap. I observed all of the staff being very friendly and helpful to patrons throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be back and looking forward to trying it for dinner.

    Love, love, love Blue Moon Beach Grill!…read more This is always on our list of regulars to hit on the OBX every time we go. In the last year or two they've moved to a much larger building (which was very much needed because they're so popular). Parking can be tight depending on what time you go, but GO! This new location has a second floor! They have daily specials, though I'll always get the fried oysters if they're available. I and my family and friends have always loved anything we get here - delicious! BMBG is family-owned, and you can tell -- the service is top notch. At the front door they have a large selection of BMBG apparel -- take some of Blue Moon home with you! While there, check out the fantastic fireplace made of oyster shells -- I took a picture for you.
