About

Blue Water Grill & Raw Bar sits on Sailfish Drive in Manteo, over on Roanoke Island where the pace runs slower than the beach towns across the bridge. As the name suggests, raw bar seafood is the main draw here, oysters and other shellfish alongside a broader bar-and-restaurant menu, served in a casual Brewery & Bar setting rather than anything dressed up. The kitchen keeps consistent hours, open seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., so there's no need to check ahead before heading over for lunch or dinner. Pricing lands in the moderate range, and the menu mixes classic raw bar staples with the kind of straightforward bar food that pairs well with a cold drink after a day spent around Shallowbag Bay or Roanoke Island's historic sites.

  • Raw bar and seafood-forward menu with a full bar
  • Open daily, 11:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m., no weekly closures
  • Moderate ($$) pricing
  • Located on Sailfish Drive in Manteo, Roanoke Island

Fantastic restaurant. Really nice location and views. The food was delicious. I had very yummy oyster shooters and blackened tuna fish tacos. Everything was will prepared and seasoned. The hostess and the waiter were so nice and friendly. Plenty of seating both inside and outside

Here how my experience went.... On a family vacation, mom says "Let's go out and have a good dinner the last night we are here". I agreed under one term, I was picking the place. I looked up Google reviews and made reservations @ Blue Water Grill. Booking was super easy. I had a few questions the day of reservations, they were very accommodating with my request to move up the reservations time. We were seated in a timely fashion and then met Curtis. He was fantastic and was truly genuine with his answers to questions. Appetizers and Oyster came out quick, nothing missing and hot. It was impeccable timing that as soon as the appetizer were finished and cleaned.... Food! So Wonderful! Everyone had the best dish ever. Blue Water Grill amazed this family!! Hands down 100% perfect. PS. Atmosphere amazing! I'd recommend over and over and over

first you walk in and are greeted by a nice lady who is ready to get you seated. for a part of eight it’s usually pretty difficult but there was no wait and we got seated within two minutes. our waitress was very attentive and the food came out very quick. i got the seared shrimp pasta which has a pesto sauce with cavatappi and it was so good. overall this place is amazing and the views are great! also there are little candies on the way out which i adore
