Great Meal After 12 Hr Drive 11/10/2017
Reviewer: Cryogirl
We needed a quick and easy meal after our long drive from Cleveland. Tortugas' was just down the street from our cottage. We opted for burgers and fries. My mom has the Swiss Jerk Burger and I had a basic cheeseburger. The patty was large and cooked to perfection (medium). The fries were amazing. The salt and pepper they put on the fries is awesome. The tomato and lettuce on the burger was fresh and really topped it off. They didn't skimp on the cheese either. Our meal was pick-up.

We have been eating at Tortuga's for years. Love the Caribbean Jerk burger. We have always received stellar service when dining here.

just a bad night? 6/20/2016
Reviewer: RAHohio
After years of considering Tortuga's Lie a solid place to go for good food, we stopped this year and were quite disappointed. It was only 'okay'.
The service was okay. The food was okay. I'm not sure if it was just an off night, or what but w/ so many other choices, I don't think we'll go back.
Bummer.

We stopped for lunch after visiting Jockey's Ridge. We were tired, hot and hungry after being on the Dunes in the summer heat. The staff was great, got us seated after a short wait, brought drinks out fast and the food came out not too much longer afterwards. Our orders were perfect, the fish was fresh in our tacos, burritos and sandwich and my youngest, the chicken finger connoisseur, declared the chicken fingers one of her top favorites.

Stopped in last night for dinner. Steamed shrimp & veggies, fish tacos, salad of the day and the habenero chicken sandwich plus a geat selection of beers kept all of us happy. I can see a return trip this week for us. Love finding the places like this.

For several years Tortugas' has been a 'must stop' for our family. Everything I've ever had (most often the fish tacos, Teriyaki Burger and sushi) has always been great. I'd definitely recommend this place.
Rating: Great Pub Style, but soooooo much more 1/27/2013
Reviewer: MarylandMike
We have enjoyed Tortuga's for both lunch and dinner, in-season and off-season. Honestly, we have never been disappointed. The menu looks like pub food,but, do not be fooled. They put their Tortuga's twist on every dish. The place has style, good food and an off-beat ambiance. It is not a large place, so, if you are a large group, you might want to look elsewhere.

My mother loves this place. It is small and quaint, but very beachy. We ordered everything from salads to fish sandwiches and all agreed it was great. Great little place.

If you go no where else while visiting the Outer Banks, you absolutely must go to Tortuga's Lie and order either the Fish Tacos (tons of large chunks of mahi) or the Fish and Black Bean Burrito (stuffed with perfectly cooked tuna!). Seriously....go right now! Log off the computer and go! :-)

In summer, we usually stay in a house that's very close to Tortuga's. one member of our party goes there on a daily basis!! We all love it. Fabulous food (I am partial to the appetizers) and great atmosphere.

Fat Tire Amber Ale and 1557 (dark) from New Belgium Brewing Fort Collins Colorado are on tap. Fish tacos are outstanding.

We have been coming here for 10 years and it is our family's favorite. I like it because you always get something you cannot get at home. Coco Loco chicken is my favorite and this year we were lucky enough to be there on the evening they had Chicken Tortilla soup - yum!

My kids have grown up with beach trips to Nags Head and the OBX. 30+ years now. Once I found Tortugas it became a priority to eat there every time we visited the beach on vacation. Now it is not just one of my required stops, but my 3 kids and their families have inherited their dads craving for the super food, friendly beach road atmosphere, homemade key lime pie and ice cold Coronas. Please stay the way you are. Every time I think of the Outer Banks I think of Tortuga,s and I smile. In case you didn't catch my message the food and memories are outstanding!

Great food, great beer, great hot sauce (pick up a bottle or two when you're there), and good service. It's no wonder there's usually a wait to get in.

Reviewer: Bar Patron
Never dissapointed in the customer service, food and price. Small place with great atmosphere, very relaxed vibe. From burgers to pasta most everyone can find something on the menu to eat. Good portions and always piping hot. Even better that Tortugas' has gone all non-smoking, can taste the food even better now. They will continue to have my business! Big parties expect to be broken up not a very big place. Get there early as to avoid the long waits.

Fabulous burgers, crabcake sandwiches and probably the biggest crab legs around. We love Tortuga's! Wait staff is fun, great kidders, really interact with the customer. Prices are average, not to high in my book. Portions are big. Great selection of beers. Not real big inside, but definately worth the wait.

The grilled tuna wrap sandwich with an app. of chile chicken wings are the best. Stop here for your first OBX meal, then stop at Hotdogger's Surf n Cafe just north of the Wright Memorial Bridge for a great meal when leaving OBX. It's a hole-in-the-wall place just like Tortuga's

Visited yesterday (11/24) for lunch and decided to try a couple of appetizers from their menu. Their hummus is to die for, and the white pizza is outstanding. Hubby had to try their tuna sausage, which was declared "very interesting" and very good. Seems there weren't too many places open on the beach road on Monday afternoon, but have learned Tortuga's will remain open through the off-season this year. Good news!!

Love this place. Our first stop before we even check in to our house. Have to have a couple cold drinks to kick off the beginning of our vacation. Food is fantastic and everyone is friendly.
