Blue Parrot Grill

Lovely place right on the water. We had an early lunch for 7 people. I had the Caribbean chicken bowl which was super flavorful packed with pilaf, black beans and chicken. Server was super nice and I would def come back here again if ever in NC.

A low-key gem I almost do not want to review and give away!Service is amazing, servers seemed to enjoy working here.The drinks WOW - I was afraid that the sweet will be too sweet but they were just right (and that's a compliment from an AAPI)FoodAlways get the crab cake. Other seafood is 50:50 - usually overcooked and/or saltier than flavor, but it's not a michelin spot, nor did it uncharged for being next to the water.

We stopped by here after an trip to nearby attraction. It was on the noisy side being there was a bachelorette party there and they keep the music loud but it was a Friday afternoon. The service was great and the food was excellent too. I have to say the shrimp or the biggest we've seen around and tasted awesome. One member of my party had the fried shrimp platter while I had the blackened shrimp on a salad and both were excellent. I love the ambiance overlooking the lake. It was a 90 plus degree day so the table umbrellas and fans definitely helped.I'd love to come back next trip down and catch the sunset.

So they share parking lot with toucan, which is right next door. Parking is quite limited when it's busy time. It's on a slanted slope so it's weird and scary looking lol. The first item we ordered was chicken and shrimp plate, the bbq chicken was delicious. It was a good size for the both of us. The second time we went, we had surf and turf, ribeye and we ordered medium rare and it was like medium well. Kinda bland and not the best. Although we do enjoy their French fries. We also ordered their chili and it was okay. Not the best. Service is not the best here. They are kinda inattentive when it's busy, they kinda forget about you. But I think even when it's slow, you don't really get the best service either. It's lakefront, plenty of space I think. The ambiance is pretty chill. Like any other restaurant I guess.

I have stopped here twice for lunch when driving by. The atmosphere is a 10 on the lake with great views, comfortable seating, and fitting beach music. However, the food is blah. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but the Grilled Chicken Sandwich was boring, the fries weren't great, and the Chicken Tenders had no taste and it was a tiny portion for $11. The service was good. Overall, I would recommend giving it a shot just for the vibe, but I wouldn't recommend going here for the food.

Good food,good service and nice sunset view!!I had order the mussle and crabcake with mahi-mahi and it was delicious also the food didnt take a long time and also the service was good and the server are very friendly...I would recommend people to come and eat.i think it could be good if u like a nice view and good food

First timer. I was in the area for work and stopped for lunch. It was a nice day and I sat on the patio near the water. The staff were super friendly and my order of grilled shrimp was perfect. It was nice to watch the boats pass by. I will be back when I'm not working for a few "beverages" at the patio bar.

I just recently moved into the area. Have never been but for drinks and apps. Decided to treat my kids and take them to sit and enjoy the view and some gator bites. Unfortunately the food was just ok. I had the Swiss burger and not only was it overcooked but cold like they had cooked it and set out aside. I had no flavor. Swiss cheese was just there and the mushrooms were barely sauted. It was just a terrible burger. They were super busy so maybe the kitchen was just overwhelmed. Hard to believe anyone could screw that up. I was very disappointed.

Try the onion rings....they will be worth the wait. Completely outdoor venue. Shares same menu as its sister restaurant next door, Toucans. Good bar and more than adequate menu selection. Parking can be tricky on popular days.

Went early on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. We had t been in a couple years. Menu was the same high for us was a pleasant surprise because they still had my favorite scallop bistro salad! Service was great and you just cant beat the view!
