Tricia T.

Ordered PokeBox online and their website was so easy and convenient to use. There was ample parking, the location was right off of the main road and easy to find. The restaurant was clean and the employees friendly! My food was ready as stated and simple to pick up. The food was delicious and plentiful (and I got the smaller sized bowl). I would love to visit again and recommend for fellow poke lovers or someone who's looking to try!

-Friendly and helpful workers -Fresh and delicious food -Large selection of toppings Only downside was that it was expensive but for the good things I mentioned about it makes up for that price mark. I definitely recommend coming here and giving it a try. Im gonna be a returning custom from here on out. Plenty of parking out front. Limited indoor seating if you have a large party. Otherwise a clean and refreshing atmosphere

Pretty darn good! I'm becoming more and more of a fan of poke due to places like this. They are consistently tasty, similar enough that I can get what I want. Yet each is also different. While the portion size is good, I can't help but think this is a buck or two overpriced. However, the food was good. Nothing wrong with service and inside is a typical sit down.

First time ever having a Poké bowl. It was actually really good, staff was pretty friendly and the place is pretty clean. Decent spot if you're looking for lunch.

Hands down best poke bowls we've had in NC. The service was quick and helpful, and the food was phenomenal. All of the fish and toppings were fresh, and the portions were sizeable. Our perfect bowls had a white rice base. We added spicy tuna and salmon, with mango, edamame, crispy onions, crab salad, seaweed salad, and avocado on top. Drizzled with spicy Mayo and poke sauce - AMAZING. We drove our bowls down to Jockey's Ridge and ate in the picnic area. 10/10 experience.

Large Bowl

I ordered a large bowl and it was delicious! My base was spring mix, and my protein was chicken, shrimp, and steak. They were cooked proteins and because I am leery of uncooked proteins I made that choice. I also tried some new things. Very good bowl. I probably wouldn't get as much sauce next time. But when I come again, I will definitely prefer again.

Delicious poke bowl with spicy tuna, tuna, and salmon!

We got Pokebox twice when we failed to get through to some of our other takeout spots and are so glad that we did! You get a chipotle style poke bowl and they're simply delicious. The bowls were incredibly fresh and had awesome flavor. We really enjoyed the standard fare (spicy tuna, tuna, and salmon). My husband doesn't eat raw fish much so he got the steak and chicken. There's something for everyone and the customized ingredients really make it your own! It seems they're a relatively new business so I hope they get plenty of support! We hope to return next year when we visit OBX.

Ginger, avocado, crab salad, spicy crab salad almonds, cucumbers, red onions, jalapeños, & more!

Very fresh quality tuna and salmon. Sometimes poke places sacrifice quality because it can be hidden amongst the stuff but not here!

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.

I guess the Rockfish tacos were a daily special, so I ordered the "World Famous" Mahi tacos while Ms T ordered a crabcake sandwich. I think we were both a little disappointed. Her sandwich was definitely for bun lovers. She tore off enough bread for another sandwich and still had plenty. Restaurants are often guilty of conflating a huge bun with good sandwich. She was not particularly impressed with the crab cake, saying it was overloaded with thyme. I ordered my Mahi "blackened" and it really was not. The seasonings were good although also heavy with thyme. The flour tortillas were of poor quality, very thin and leathery and not provided hot. Hence the tacos were room temperature when eaten. I liked the finely shredded cheese that was not served refrigerator cold. The white sauce they serve is just wrong for these tacos. It is too sweet, too tart, making it harsh. Instead, I used the sauce that came with her crab cake and that was much better. Finally the mahi was very dry. I guess that is kind of the way that mahi is, but this really needed plenty of sauce. Kudos to them for serving good jasmine rice. This was not as good as we remembered. It is OK, not great and could be improved with just a few changes. We should have tried the burgers.

If you frequent the area…read morein the off-season, you'll quickly figure out that a number of places are closed during that time. Not so with Tortuga's Lie. This is one of our fave places for either lunch or dinner. In either case, be ready for a wait depending on what time of day it is. The food is worth it, though. If space is available, you can choose to sit at the bar. They have a couple TVs. We've had everything from one of the daily specials (fried flounder sandwich is one example), to the cheeseburger, to the fish tacos, and more. Their 'island fries' are yummy.

I ordered the ahi sandwich and it was very good, even if it was a little over-cooked for my taste. But the best part of the meal was the chocolate pecan pie! It was so good, we got two pieces to go! I'd go again just for the pie. For being the off season, I was surprised by how crowded it was, but that's a testament of how good it was. The locals know what they're talking about when they recommend a place. Tortuga's Lie was recommended to us by one of the tour guides we met when we went to see the wild horses. I'll go back.
