Today I ordered a beer, was handed the beer for which I paid $5 which I had in my pocket. however while I was getting my wallet out of my bag, to get more money for a tip, apparently not fast enough, cause he quickly and loudly commented, "thanks I'll try not to spend the tip all at once. i was dumbfounded!! i wasnt even given the chance to tip. which I did... a $1. told him not to spend it all in one place. Despite this, other staff was great as was the food.
Cool local establishment with quality food, great cocktails, and a fun vibe! We sat at the bar and ordered a couple beers (to take the edge off) - ordered the crawfish, steamed Carolina pinks, steamed clams, and the local yellow fin tuna sandwich. They tell you straight up when you order the crawfish dish that they’re not fresh, but honestly you could have fooled us! The chef definitely knows what he’s doing blending garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, and onions with the crawfish!...
My family has been vacationing in Nags Head for many years, & I've now lived here for 3 years. Tortugas is our favorite place for family dinners & just anytime we are hungry for some great food with a Caribbean fair. The food is delicious & fresh, & the service is always friendly. The worst thing is that sometimes the wait to be seated can be long because so many people know about Tortugas from TV or simply word-of-mouth, & everyone wants to eat here....
