Please let chef know to never use frozen onion rings on a steak again. Julienne some onions, hand batter and fry if you want some crispy onions. This is a fine dining establishment and should be treated as such, especially with a one night special menu, and try order Prime meat for these special occasions so guests get the best quality and experience when spending their hard earned money. Apps and desserts were acceptable but entree missed its mark. Doesn’t matter how nice the ambiance and setting is, if the food isn’t able to match up. Being on the coast though probably should’ve went with fish or scallops, I guess we’ll never know

Was super nice place. Shrimp and grits were of the charts. Sweet potato soup was very very good
Only complaint is the salmon was basically burnt on skin. Good flavor but not great. Everything else was very tasty, but overpriced. Entree was perfect size and price. But the salad was small for the cost.

Went with my Wife for Dinner. The Mac and cheese, biscuits, sweet potato soup and drinks were good. However, most of the food was salty and the flavor profiles were a little off. My duck was overseasoned and all of the vegetables in the bottom of the bowl were covered in oil/grease. My Wife's Gnocchi was covered in smoked paprika and it made the whole thing inedible. Drinks were good though.

We have eaten here for over 20 years and the Blue Point never disappoints. Our meal last night was superb. We chose to sit at the bar which offers an additional bar menu. My husband got the hamburger and said it was delicious. I got the small plate burrata- a very mixed combination of flavors but it was a culinary delight. Burrata, olives, roasted squash, toasted petitas, whole almonds, arugula, toasted ciabatta and a pomegranate sauce. So unusual and so flavorful. What an experience. Winter dining at the Blue Point is a delectable treat.

Nice american fare with southern twist. They have seafood, steak and porkchop/duck. Their chef will have seasonal changes on the menu. The she crab bisque and duck confit are delicious. If you have kids, they dont have kids menu, but they can make simple pasta/spaghetti dish. We love when they have oyster roast and can listen to live music and enjoy the sunset at the Backbar in the summer and fall.

Crab bisque was awful. Special flounder dish was very bland. Views are terrific, but this food used to be much better. So sad.

Very delicious food with excellent service and a perfectly unencumbered view of the water! We had a variety of dishes - all expertly seasoned and prepared. Such a treat!
The two specials we ordered were outstanding. Our server, Cat was awesome! The Red Snapper special was perfection. It was served with a sweet potato hash topped with a tarragon hollandaise sauce. Charleston could not beat this dish! We then had the pumpkin crumble dessert that was a perfect way to end our meal. Our first time there, most definitely not our last! Hats off to the chef!!

The Blue Point provides an outstanding dining experience. While ownership has passed in 2021 from the original owners to the new owners, siblings Ryan, Leigh, and Jamie Raskin. The trio has continued the tradition of culinary excellence in Duck, NC. I've traveled the country and have dined in New York, LA, Chicago, etc. etc. and The Blue Point rivals any place I've been for location, ambience, service and quality of apps, small and large plates, and drinks. As anyone who has dined at The Blue Point knows, the location offers a view of spectacular sunsets.
Once inside the restaurant, you note the cool and unique design that the original owners John Power and Sam McGann brought to their space 30+ years ago. Vintage tables, booths, lighting, bar area with comfy seating. It's like comfort for the soul sitting down and nestled into your space. Our server, Mark, was outstanding. Attentive, not overbearing, providing space in time to ponder the drink and food menus. A server elevates the experience or deflates it- Mark's interaction with our 6-person party was perfectly calibrated.
Our drink orders were prepared to perfection. Key to the beginning of our anticaped fun. Beverages ignite the party or drown it. Our drinks lit the fuse and the party was on.
We began with the Blue Point Carolina she crab bisque. It was delicious and served at just the right temperature to bring out all of the flavor. That was joined by the soft crab on cole slaw- well plated, and prepared. The mixed green salad was prepared with pickled strawberries toasted sunflower seeds and strawberry vincotto vinaigrette. A cacophony of flavors working so well.
The hit were the fried green tomatoes. Lightly battered,fried, and with tasty pimento cheese. Our group raved over them.
Just when we thought things could not get any better, the entrees were served. Scalloped cooked to perfection on quinoa, with roasted apples, aleppo spiced pork lordons, raisins and apple brown butter vinaigrette. The southern shrimp and mill grits with scallops, smoked tasso ham. Exquisite texture, taste.
The Virginia catfish did not taste like chicken- lol. Because it was served lightly breaded, with red beans and rice with alligator sausage, house pickles (yum), topped with Cajun ramoulade. Last, the special flounder was outstanding.
Our dessert was shared creme broule and topped off an overall 5 star dining experience.
Kudos to the chef, sous chef and the entire service staff. I cannot say enough good things about The Blue Point. Do not miss this place while in Duck, NC!!

The sheep head sliders were excellent, and my snapper was outstanding! Lots of locals come here and some of the service have been here for decades. Also beautiful views because they’re located right on the water! The first worst games I’ve experienced just sucks.

We made a reservation, and I would encourage you to do so also. We were seated outside per our request, and all of the tables are high tops out there. There is also a separate bar out back where you can wait and socialize while enjoying the view. Our server was very nice. We had the salmon and the shrimp and grits. The former was cooked nicely, and it was served with a fried rice containing some unusual items (but it worked and was very tasty). The latter was good, and it was more than my wife could eat. We were there at sundown, and it was a wonderful setting.
