“This was our second visit to the Beachside Bistro - once in October, and again in late November. We found the food to be excellent! We did breakfast in October and brunch in November. The breakfast burrito (a regular breakfast item) and a selection from the new brunch menu - smoked, pulled pork over fried grit cakes with bourbon bbq sauce are our favorites so far! This hidden gem is well worth a visit!“
“I am loving coming back again to steamers! It's so good. Just had a taste of a NC bourbon. It was very nice! Can't wait for dinner!! Burger was great. And my wife had fish tacos which looked epic! Let's see what I choose tonight.“
“BEST PORK CHOP EVER. So what if I order a pork chop at ever restaurant that boasts one. I expect pork perfection - and The Blue Point achieved it. Pork excellence! This chop was beyond good. It had this crust with a bacon essence that just made me laugh it was so good. And the bread pudding had the perfect savoriness. Oh my word! It’s a must try! My hubs got the crab cakes - also VERY GOOD. But the night belonged to Porky-God rest his soul. He was VERY good.“

“Excellent food-perfectly seared scallop entree and flounder dinner special was very tasty. Fresh and crisp Ceasar salad. Decadent nut pastry with caramel ice cream. We sat at the Chef's table and enjoyed the kitchen theatre. Decent price point for portion size compared to other similar restaurants in the area. Only slight negative was no French red as listed on the website but powered thru with a Martini instead ?“
“Fun atmosphere in restaurant/market, with great wine selection (lots available by the glass) and quality food. Service was above average, and even the music was great (mellow classic rock, not live, but sometimes they have live music). Good variety in apps and small plate options, delicious seafood choices, and you can tell the folks in the kitchen cook with passion and a care for quality food. Some good gluten free options, but very sadly, no GF bread or sandwich buns. The market sells a great selection of gourmet food items, beautiful cheeses and wines, funny cocktail napkins, and even some prepared foods.“
“This place is out of this world! First‐ our server, Luke, was top notch. He was kind, helpful, and friendly. We ordered the the Chef special which is a sampling of a majority of their their menu. 7ish items. I am from the mountains and not a big seafood fan but we scarfed everything in front of us. All the food was seasoned to perfection. Lastly, the beignets as dessert were delicious! As a vacationer, I would come back to OBX just for this restaurant.“
“We just finished an amazing dinner while on vacation! This is a true hidden gem off the beaten path. The service and food were exceptional and I can’t wait to go back! If you are looking for a tasty meal with great ambiance, I recommend you head here soon! We even got to meet Chef Randolph! Absolutely delightful!“
