Good sized portions for the price. Our server was awesome! I think we were more impressed with her efficiency than anything else. The seafood was very good. The cheeseburger, not so much. Slightly over cooked and the cheese was plastic like. Will certainly go back for the seafood! read more

I was craving oyster stew, and they didn't disappoint. Hush puppies were good like always. Service was great. Staff was friendly. Hubby got flounder and a baked potato. One thing about Blue Bay is their food is always consistent. You always know what you're gonna get. Stopped by on a Sunday and the parking lot was full but there was plenty of room inside for seating. Check them out if you're in the mood for some fish and a quiet restaurant. read more

I really enjoyed this place. It so much reminded me of a place I used to visit on vacation every year with my grandparents. I have looked high and low for something like that and could never find that quality and feel until now. The service was amazing. So friendly and nice with good suggestions. The portion size was way bigger than what I thought I would get, and that's a good thing. I liked the salt and pepper batter. The food was very delicious and took me back in time. The place was decorated very nice with really cool hand painted scenes that make you feel like you are looking out over a bay. If I ever make it back, you can guarantee I will eat here. read more

Service was great -- the hush puppies are always a staple. The crab cake was very flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their meal!

Better fried seafood than the supposed world famous Calabash seafood establishments and yes I can say that with certainty because that's where I have lived for the past 3 years. Decent prices for the old school fish camp style dining. I like they offer Salt and Pepper batter as an option and has a couple more side options than the cheapest fries Sysco has to offer and Cole slaw unlike the Calabash restaurants that serve bland batter and only cheap fries or a day old baked potato as sides. Blue bay seems to have a wider variety of feedings as well than some of the beach restaurants. read more

Service was good. Food is always consistent when we come. Nothing amazing per to say but always good. Great fish camp experience. read more

Consistently great seafood and great service from Sierra! The broiled seafood platter is so good!

Way over cooked our chicken, It was dehydrated. Nobody seemed to really care either. Very disappointed.

The food was good and the service was good. The restaurant was clean and themed well. The prices were a little high for what you get.

Friday night ordered 20 Perch/20 chicken tenders and baby shrimp & a gallon of tea. $56 order & the quantity was small. When abt the small amount of chicken tenders & Perch I called I was advised the more you order the less you get. Definitely not good business read more

Service was great. Lovely ladies attended to us. Fish was factory processed. Hush puppies were not recognisable as such. Clam chowder was probably the worst I've ever had. It's a shame - up the performance in the kitchen and this could be a nice place. read more

Service was terrible! They charge at the register for you to squirt tartar sauce in your box of leftovers!! And they overcharged at that. For target sauce at a seafood restaurant- it's not like we took an excessive amount- two people had leftover food and they have the bottles of tarter on the table! The "manager" at the register said "the owner tells us we have to." Terrible ending to an ok meal- but it wasn't that fabulous that I would go back, instead I'll tell anyone who will listen how unprofessional and stingy they are! read more

Had fried fantail shrimp and oyster stew. Shrimp was really good and a good size. Oyster stew lacked flavor, but the oysters in it were tasty. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but the restaurant was busy. read more

No complaints everything went well and tasted great! The one thing that captivated me is I ordered an Arnold Palmer and my server brung a pitcher of tea, cup of lemonade, and a cup of ice which allowed me to pour up Arnold planners to my heart's content!!! read more

Disappointing visit. Perhaps I'll give it another chance later. The service was sluggish, portion sizes were small, and the costs were steep! read more

this restaurant only appeals to a certain demographic. if you know what good seafood is you will hate this place.

I've heard good things about this restaurant so you can imagine my disappointment when I tried it out and the first thing I see underneath our table is trash and food crumbs. The restaurant in general seemed dirty with food on the floor and crumbs in the booth seats. The food seemed mediocre, as the fried catfish I got was soaked in grease looked soggy. The portions sizes are way off, portions are small but priced high. A whole flounder costs $20.00! A normal large filet costed around $17. The deviled crab also didn't taste the way a devil crab should, it fell apart easily and was no good. The fries were alright, but how could you mess up on fries, right? The staff was very polite however and were very hospitable. Another complaint I have is the temperature in the restaurant, it can be a little warm in there despite having ac so wear light clothing, definitely no long sleeves are needed. In short: mediocre food, overpriced, good staff, treat yourself to something better than this place. read more

Went to Blue Bay tonight to celebrate a birthday. Got there at 6pm. There were about 5 tables with customers. We were seated by the hostess. Then we waited.....5 minutes go by, still waiting....10 minutes....waiting. No waitress has even come by since we were seated. 15 minutes and still waiting. By this time I am trying to flag a waitress. Waving my arms, staring at them, even calling out to one at a table close by. Nothing. Finally at 20 minutes, I picked up my phone and called the restaurant. The hostess picked up the phone and asked how she could help. I asked if there was a reason I had not been addressed by a waitress after 20 minutes after being seated. Told the hostess which table I was at and 2 minutes later, there was Finally a waitress over at the table. She was apologetic and claimed she wasn't our waitress but would be taking care of us. At this point, I didn't care if she was or wasn't our waitress. It wasn't like the restaurant was busy. She did bring us some potato wedges along with some hushpuppies. The wedges were fair, but they were free as a token for ignoring us. On the menu it states 2 bowls of hush puppies before being charged. The first bowl was emptied and we asked for a 2nd....never received. I ended up getting the baby shrimp and husband wanted the hamburger steak, but because they didn't have gravy, he ended up getting steak. He had to put steak sauce on the steak for any type of flavor. The shrimp were OK. I have had better at other restaurants. These were tough and a number of the still had the black vein. Personally, I will not be back.​​​ read more

It was very good. Definitely would go back again. Food and service were fantastic! Atmosphere was welcoming.

Awesome FOOD & SERVICE!!!! Waitress super kind, very friendly and pleasant, courteous, menu knowledgeable, fast service. Food great, very fresh, cooked just right, fast service. Highly recommend. read more

Service was great. The catfish fillers are much smaller than they used to be. Don't get the key lime pie, it definitely doesn't taste one bit like key lime and it is a very small piece for $4.99. Go to grocery store and get a big Edward's key lime pie for $6.99. read more

We've only had take out from here but it was quite tasty and the staff were friendly and Efficient. I have it 4 stars instead of 5 because the food was a bit bland for my taste. Overall, I'd eat here again. You should try it. read more

Good value and service! The ambiance was cute and appropriate for a seafood restaurant - bright nautical theme and pretty murals. Upon entering the pretty lobby, you almost forget you're in piedmont NC and not on the coast! For peak time on a Friday night, the restaurant was full of customers but we were seated immediately. Our server was excellent and went above and beyond - attentive and polite without being intrusive. She brought multiple refills and checked on us several times. The food was served quickly and hot and the taste was great and the portions were huge! We ordered the small bite-sized shrimp and they were mildly seasoned and not at all greasy! The baked potatoes and vegetables were also good. The hush puppies were delicious! There was a surprising amount of variety on the menu as well, including some desserts that looked homemade that we will have to save room for next time. The only small issue was the music was a little loud and we weren't expecting that at a seafood restaurant, but it wasn't invasive and wouldn't prevent us from returning again. Overall, nice place to get some fried fish or shrimp and good vegetables for a coastal staycation experience! read more

Me and my husband travel to Salisbury once a year for his VA appt. We've seen this place a couple times but passed for fast food. Anywho, we were able order and it was delicious. The crabs were fresh and pump and the scallops were juicy and sweet. Great quality seafood!! The key lime pie is amazing as well. read more

Very good food and service, and the place was filled with locals which is the first indication of quality. I had the broiled platter, and imagine my surprise when the flounder was actually flounder and not imported tilapia. The shrimp were cooked just right and the stuffed crabs were enjoyable as well. Would stay in Salisbury again just to walk over for a nice, easy and wholesome dinner. read more

Good restaurant! When I arrived, it was already around 8 PM. So I decided to make a take out. The food was mediocre.

We travel from Lexington to Salisbury frequently to eat seafood here because they offer whole fried flounder of which we are huge fans. So for that we give 5 stars. As to their other food, we really have not eaten that, this is a niche for us. read more

We always have to go to this restaurant when we visit Salisbury NC. The service and food are great I love the red slaw tangy and sweet. They have whole catfish but you have to ask for it. The hush puppies are delicious too. We're coming back soon read more

You must rate a restaurant based on what it is not what you thought it might be. Blue bay is a great fried fish joint like Libby Hill or mayflower... only better. The service has been great every time. The food is great, always comes hot out of the fryer and onto your table(probably after straining it a bit). The hush puppies keep coming and are pretty darn good. And all the sides, tho typical, are good as well. If it's your first time going I would recommend fries, onion rings or baked(or sweet) potato; they do the traditional stuff really well. The fried okra seems a little bland and the steamed veggies are only ok everything else I've tried has been awesome. read more

A local fried seafood location with good service. Most of the dishes are fried . The day I went they were out of onion rings and okra ...it was a Monday . Hush puppies are very good and prices are good. Seafood is not fresh but what would you expect thus far from the coast. Portions sizes are large so two people could share a seafood platter. read more
