    This place was so good we canceled our Sushi reservations and came back for a second night in a row. Fresh food, good portions, and you can customize it 100 different ways. The people behind the windows are super friendly and patient being that almost no one knows what they want in their poke bowl. The options are super healthy, and it's such an improvement over the typical beach junk food. And just to add the place is super clean. If you ever want to know the level of cleanliness in a restaurant go wash your hands in the bathroom. This place was spotless. Yes I know that's a weird comment, but it's accurate. Enjoy.

    -Friendly and helpful workers -Fresh and delicious food -Large selection of toppings Only downside was that it was expensive but for the good things I mentioned about it makes up for that price mark. I definitely recommend coming here and giving it a try. Im gonna be a returning custom from here on out. Plenty of parking out front. Limited indoor seating if you have a large party. Otherwise a clean and refreshing atmosphere

    Ordered PokeBox online and their website was so easy and convenient to use. There was ample parking, the location was right off of the main road and easy to find. The restaurant was clean and the employees friendly! My food was ready as stated and simple to pick up. The food was delicious and plentiful (and I got the smaller sized bowl). I would love to visit again and recommend for fellow poke lovers or someone who's looking to try!

    Pretty darn good! I'm becoming more and more of a fan of poke due to places like this. They are consistently tasty, similar enough that I can get what I want. Yet each is also different. While the portion size is good, I can't help but think this is a buck or two overpriced. However, the food was good. Nothing wrong with service and inside is a typical sit down.

    First time ever having a Poké bowl. It was actually really good, staff was pretty friendly and the place is pretty clean. Decent spot if you're looking for lunch.

    Hands down best poke bowls we've had in NC. The service was quick and helpful, and the food was phenomenal. All of the fish and toppings were fresh, and the portions were sizeable. Our perfect bowls had a white rice base. We added spicy tuna and salmon, with mango, edamame, crispy onions, crab salad, seaweed salad, and avocado on top. Drizzled with spicy Mayo and poke sauce - AMAZING. We drove our bowls down to Jockey's Ridge and ate in the picnic area. 10/10 experience.

    Delicious poke bowl with spicy tuna, tuna, and salmon!

    We got Pokebox twice when we failed to get through to some of our other takeout spots and are so glad that we did! You get a chipotle style poke bowl and they're simply delicious. The bowls were incredibly fresh and had awesome flavor. We really enjoyed the standard fare (spicy tuna, tuna, and salmon). My husband doesn't eat raw fish much so he got the steak and chicken. There's something for everyone and the customized ingredients really make it your own! It seems they're a relatively new business so I hope they get plenty of support! We hope to return next year when we visit OBX.

    Very fresh quality tuna and salmon. Sometimes poke places sacrifice quality because it can be hidden amongst the stuff but not here!

    Amazing food. Great portions, for under $20.00 pretty good place for seafood!…read moreI have never tried Poke before but goodness this one really is a great find. Delicious and the umami of the fish radiates on the whole bowl. Amazing flavor and just right for my very picky tastebuds. We also had the special of the day which is Fried oysters and my husband had Fish of the day. They can get really busy when we first came in the first lady was quiet busy with other things and she didn't quite talk to us right away. I was beginning to get worried since i have experienced this is some businesses nearby, but when she was available she was pleasant to us and made sure our order was correct. The kids also had Mochiko fried chicken and Tacos shredded chicken. They said they liked it. It gets busy so if you don't want to seat outside in the heat make sure you come at 11:00 am.

    Excellent meal with an excellent view…read more We made reservations on Thursday, for Friday at 6:30, a party for 5. If you want to get in during high traffic times, definitely call 24-hours ahead. We were seated within 15-minutes of our arrival, in the dining room with a lovely view of the harbor. We noticed most tables had a nice view due to the very open floor plan concept. Our server was lovely: attentive, helpful and pleasant. She patiently answered questions and returned often to check on us, making sure our water glasses were full. It's the little touch's that make a wonderful dining experience. We began our meal sharing the calamari. Really well prepared and quite flavorful. So enjoyed the little peppers and aioli drizzle. Very flavorful. Everyone in our party of 5 was quite pleased with their meals. Our 10-year old granddaughter loved the fries and chose an appetizer chicken wings for her entree. The portion was quite large and tasty. Beware, the dipping sauce ranch has a kick, which she didn't prefer but we enjoyed. My husband and I shared the grand slam seafood trio. Each seafood item was perfectly prepared. With fries and coleslaw, it was more than we could finish. He added a side salad which was very fresh and I had creamy clam chowder (good but not as hot as ai prefer.) Our daughter and friend raved about their fried fish and pork chop diners. 4/5 of us took home leftovers. The view.... So relaxing and peaceful. Our bill came to $188 (without any drinks.). The tab was worth it for a complete fine dining experience (with no need to dress to the nines; it's the beach after all).

They take reservations and it sits on a dock with views of gorgeous yachts. Food- standard fare for the OBX. There's plenty of seafood options, and a few landlubber options. A couple of burgers were ordered, a few shrimp dishes and some fish of the day meals(Tuna). We also ordered a variety of appetizers: Homemade Chips with a chorizo queso, wings and crab dip. The oddest dish that was meh is the Shrimp & grits. It was not a fave amongst the tasters and the actual person ordering it. I ordered the shrimp with pasta. It was very similar to a more saucy Mac & cheese with big shrimp, plenty of shrimp. It also came with 2 pieces of garlic bread. The cocktails were nice. There was an oyster shooter that seemed to be popular with the birthday celebrant. The other cocktails were good. They do offer some bottle specials so we imbibed on a bottle of risata prosecco. Service- pretty good despite having to ask for lemons twice, and having to ask someone else for a soda refill. The server team worked well together.

    For the first time ever, we had some disappointments at Black Pelican. We have lunch or dinner…read moreduring most of our twice-per-year visits to the area. It has always been good, and we definitely won't let this deter us from returning. Ms T had her usual Shrimp basket lunch. The issue was that the shrimp were not cooked through. They were still translucent. We totally understand not wanting to overcook shrimp, but these were not quite done. On the bright side she commented on how good the slaw was. I have been on a kick to try barbecue at restaurants that are not barbecue joints per se, to see if I can find some hidden gems. For example, both Sam & Omie's and Wanchese Marina serve a good barbecue sandwich. Black Pelican, at least on this day, does not. I must say, the serving was huge. This was more than enough for two meals for me. The barbecue was dry and not well flavored. The texture and flavor was more like dried out beef that has been over-roasted. This is not something I would order again here. All that being said, I am leaving the rating for Black Pelican as it is because we have always had good meals here. I accept that it can't be 100% perfect every time and sooner or later we will run into something that is less than stellar. We will continue to return. I just know this not where I will have barbecue and we are sure the shrimp thing was just a one timer.

We ordered onion rings, Philly's Pecan Crusted Mahi, and Fried Flounder and Shrimp. I was a bit underwhelmed but it all. Giving this a 3 because overall the service was great from the hostess to our server it was a wonderful experience. The food however missed the mark.
