January in OBX

[SweetPea]

I'll be staying in Nag's Head the last 2 weeks. If they are open, I plan on

Blue Moon Beach Grill
Mama Kwan's
Roadside Grill (Duck)
Kill Devil Grill
The Sugar Shack
Food Dude's

Any suggestions to add to the list? Last year I wasn't impressed with Lone Cedar at Whalebone Junction. Sam & Omies isn't open in January. Otherwise...all ideas are welcome!

Blue Point. We ate there twice this weekend, it was delicious.

What did you have? I'm thinking of the oyster stew for lunch.

[meljohns]

We had dinner both nights. We split the tenderloin, which was exceptional. The other night, my husband had the catfish (red beans and rice were delicious) and I had a salad and the shrimp appetizer. It was good also. I wish we'd tried lunch there but we didn't.

I did go and I had the oyster stew. It was the richest oyster stew I've ever had. Plentiful oysters and made with half & half and heavy cream & a bit of sherry and pieces of bacon. Whew! I also had the key lime pie It was an individual tart size with a good bottom crust. Velvety texture that could have had a touch more flavor, served with raspberry sauce and whipped cream that was a nice compliment.

Blue Moon, Mama Kwans, & apparently Roadside Grill (no answer) are not open.

Thoughts on Tortugas Lie?
South Beach Grill?

Tortugas Lie is a fun, casual place. The food is good - I've been there for a late lunch several times and get their fish tacos or grilled fish sandwich.

South Beach Grill gets great reviews - have been wanting to go for a while but unfortunately hvae not made it yet - maybe on my trip this year.

Roadside is open like Thursday - Saturday

[SweetPea]

I was in Duck on Monday & saw that on their sign - thanks! I'll go back up there. Food Dudes didn't make my tastebuds sing out like I wanted. I had fish tacos that were just OK.

Sam and Omies is closed, per the OP.

I think Blue Moon is closed this month- reopening in February. I think they are expanding.

Blue Moon is the newcomer in town and is fantastic. Try the Mahi BLT.
Mama's is always a great option. I believe they are closing the 17th though.
Roadside is fabulous and does a great lunch too if they are open.
KDH Grill is reopening on the 20th I think.
Sugar Shack - I could take it or leave it.
Don't miss Food Dudes. My new favorite. It's amazing and very reasonably priced but a hole in the wall.

I developed a fondness for Sugar Shack's steamed oysters and shrimp. Perfectly done.
