    Went with some friends in the off season and was busy right at five, as it one of the only spots open. Every interaction with service members was fantastic, they were kind and attentive. It has a mom and pop feel, where you'll likely seat yourself when it's slow, all prices are somewhat reasonable, seafood was obviously more expensive but I'd say it was pushing the reasonable side of things. I had the fried shrimp with green beans and white Mac and cheese. Shrimp was solid, and high quality. The green beans were good and thin. The Mac and cheese was fine but came out cold, which was confusing considering it was so busy, I don't know why food would be in the window for long periods. For the price and location everything was solid, but not necessarily great, I wouldn't return if there were other open options. Thought I did not have I hear the "Uncle Bunkle" was fantastic.

    We had really good food and service on our visit. They absolutely LOADED our pizza toppings, the kids raved about it!

    Chose for the Variety menu, best collards my husband has ever had in a restaurant! They were NC style. Bread was fresh, shrimp was great!

    I loved the unpretentious island vibe here (great artwork, good food, friendly locals). Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed our lunches! After all, the surfer dude at Ride the Wind recommended this place for lunch. FISH...unless you are allergic-let me recommend the fish. We had different fish prepared different ways & they were all good. I'm not sure how busy this place gets during tourist season, but today it was an awesome stop to refresh and have some good fish!

    The food was borderline inedible. But the waitstaff were fabulous. Ambiance was okay for a beach lunch.

    Sunset on Ocracoke Beach

    What a chill place! From pizza to subs and the home made hush puppies which I highly recommend a dozen to start. I had the Italian sub. Large portions, good flavor. My wife had the small veggie pizza which was more like a medium at Dominoes! Again with the large portion size. She ate on it for breakfast the next day. My daughter had the fried chicken. Also a recommended dish. The waitress was fast and courteous as well as knowledgeable in the menu. Prices were good. Not over priced, after all, everything that comes to this island comes by ferry. When you're there, it's like you've stepped back in time. Enjoy the atmosphere the people and the fellowship. You will not regret it. This restaurant is a great place to pick up dinner and drive out on the beach to watch the sunset and the moon rise, all from the cab of your truck!

    Just very disappointed in the pizza that I ordered for pick up. It was undercooked and lacked flavor. I was expecting better.

WARNING: Thai Moon is carry out orders only & cash only so come prepared. This is a SMALL business so be specific with your pick up time and don't expect to be chatting up a storm with the staff here when picking up your food. They are working as fast as they can to get fresh food out and take orders. Please be mindful of this. All orders on the menu are custom made to your spice level from mild to Thai level hot. MOON EGG ROLLS These egg rolls were so deliciously fresh and crunchy. Every bite was full of minced pork, shredded carrots, cabbage and vermicelli. Dipped with their homemade sweet chili sauce, just divine! SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS Rice paper rolled with vermicelli, fresh greens, carrots, cilantro, and shrimp. Dip into the housemate peanut sauce for the best bite. Every bite was so crunchy and fresh, just delicious. The rolls were rolled nice and tight, zero spillage. Very impressed with how stuffed these were. So yummy. DRUNKEN NOODLES We got a medium heat and Thai level hot. Oh my lord these were tasty! We chose chicken for our protein. I love drunken noodles and Thai Moon's style is veggie and flavor heavy, just how I like it. Chewy, flat rice noodles, onions, tomatoes, chilis, garlic and fresh basil leaves; every bite was just an explosion of saucy flavors and textures. In hindsight, we should've just gotten medium because the Thai level one had us SWEATING and chugging our drinks. Delicious nonetheless, but note to self stick with medium if you like spicy, but want to enjoy your meal. Portions are generous, so you'll have enough for leftovers to enjoy the next day. Love the Thai food here, highly recommend!

    Quite possibly the worst food I've ever been served ranging from unseasoned food to horrific…read moreingredients combinations to even fish that went bad. We ordered the seafood platter deep fried which ended up being a mess. The shrimp were chewy and there was barely anything of any item. Nothing was seasoned and the crab cake while full of crab was dry. The shellfish trio was the best item ordered that had plenty of scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. The pesto cream sauce was serviceable but the dish is average at best. We had two different daily specials, the mojo yellowfin tuna and the Parmesan crusted triggerfish. The mojo yellowfin tuna was cooked well enough, with it being mostly raw in the center, but lacked really any flavor and a tad bit overcooked on one side. It was served over some rice, beans, and a fruit salad. Off combination and not great. There was a side of what tasted like boiled unseasoned zucchini/squash. Abysmal side and a terrible dish, but not even the worst dish. The Parmesan encrusted triggerfish was the worst dish I've ever been served. The dish even from its conception is poorly designed as it has way too much Parmesan. Usually for a Parmesan encrusted dish there would be about an 80/20 split of breadcrumbs to Parmesan, however this dish was almost all Parmesan likely 10/90 of breadcrumbs to Parmesan. The overwhelming flavor of Parmesan was the only thing you can taste and totally masked the triggerfish. The worst part was while half of the fish was fine the other half had something terribly wrong with it. Instead of being flakey the other half was rubbery and chewy and tasted nothing like fish. This rancid half could barely be cut with a knife and made us sick. This was also served with a side of unseasoned squash just to make it even worse. The strawberry rhubarb pie and chocolate pecan pie were both fine but didn't amaze. With everything being so terrible food wise the restaurant is even worse with every entree being over $30 and the acoustics were terrible. The whole place is so loud when it's a full house and you have to scream to talk to someone at your table. The prices present a high quality meal but I wouldn't even pay fast food prices.

    We went very late and they quoted us two hours but got to us in about an hour. I'm glad we waited!…read moreThe spicy tuna app was incredible as was the crab cocktail. They ran out of the fish on special but ordering after 9 at a restaurant that closes at 9 was understandable. We had the blue crab ravioli, shrimp and sausage gratin, and the sautéed shrimp. Every thing was Amazing. The server Neil had a great attitude throughout and was very on point. We will be back whenever we get the chance. Five stars. Thanks again Neil, you are a true professional!

I say that because it is a tradition in our family to bring a couple pounds of boiled shrimp to the beach. I defy you to name a better beach snack. The only complication is that the gulls feel the same and are not dissuaded by copious Old Bay. I have enough siblings though that I am comfortable eating with one hand and 'shooing' with the other. Anyway, all that is to say that Surf's Up is a great place to pick up seafood for a low country boil. And FYI, the friendly staff will boil it up for you. Or you could go the DIY route and buy the uncooked stuff. I've seen people load up coolers to transport for the long ride back home. That's genius behavior, because the stuff from here is as fresh and delicious as it gets.
