We stopped here in between shopping and we were pleasantly surprised! We got a seat outside and enjoyed a couple drinks with our lunch. The beer choices were good, as well as the wine. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. We will be back for sure!

Nice place to sit outside and "people-watch". Beer flight was good but too few in the flight. No high octane in the flight. Crab cakes were dry. Menu not all that extensive. Waitress was very friendly and made up for many short comings.

We dropped in at the Full Moon Cafe as we were looking for a casual dinner after a long day in the car. We were quickly seated at the outdoor table which the great weather called for. Although the table had been wiped before we sat down, it was still surprisingly sticky. We shared calamari as an appetizer which was... More

Small space, but quick and great service. I had a special- barbecue sandwich. It was just okay. Portions were generous. Brewery attached next door was closed even though it had the open sign up and it was during the posted open hours.

I am very sorry the brewery was not available during your visit. We do not open it when brewing is under way because of the heat and dangers from hot liquids. I try very hard to ensure it is open by brewing at 4am but some times demand out strips supply and we double brew. We have a special sign... More

Full Moon Cafe offers both inside dining in a nicely decorated area, or streetside dining with umbrella-shaded tables right on a corner, perfect for people watching. We were disappointed right from the beginning, when we ordered the quiche special, which was advertised as being accompanied by EITHER soup or salad. Two of our party of four ordered the soup as...

My girlfriend and I stopped by this past Saturday 4/6/13, on a mini brewery tour of sorts, while traveling around OBX. It was cold and blustery outside so indoor adventures were the top of the list. We walked in to a full crowd with a table waiting but opted to sit at the bar instead. While reading over the menu... More

After walking around downtown manteo for the morning we decided on this place for lunch. The patio was pretty full and we managed a table just off the street. The waitress was prompt and attentive and the beers were great! The food wasn't anything special, we ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and a burger and they were both tasty and... More

We'd heard good things about Full Moon so maybe our expectations were too high. The food was good but not particularly special. Perhaps being somewhat off season had something to do with it. There was just one person working the dining room but she was friendly and fun and handled the few tables with ease. The atmosphere was pretty congenial... More
