Tortugas Lie is simply fantastic. Coastal Living named Tortuga's Lie North Carolina's favorite seafood dive in its June 2011 issue, and that is tough to argue. One of my favorite things about Tortuga's is the versatility. The raw bar is very good, so it fits the bill for me as far as that goes. The atmosphere is a very beachy surfer vibe, with a bi
g local prescence. Also important to me. What sets it apart to me is that in addition to the great raw bar, and beach atmosphere, there are plenty of other great options. The daily specials are always great dishes that focus on locally caught fish and shellfish prepared with Caribbean flair. You could never go wrong working off of the Specials board here. But you can also do VERY well hitting their sandwiches. I am a definite carnivore that NEVER saw myself craving a veggie burger......EVER. Yet, when we go to Tortuga's I very often will order their Garden Burger, a veggie patty covered in their home made Habanero Barbeque Sauce, and served on home made whole grain bread with lettuce and tomato and a side of chips and salsa. I CRAVE it. The sauce, and the great bread turn this sandwich into a meal I have to have several times during our two week stay. Their sauce also highlights the Bajan Burger, which is a large burger covered in this BBQ sauce, bacon and cheddar. For starters, their Hatteras style clam chowder is tough to beat as is their Creole Crawdads dish. The Island fries or the homemade chips and salsa will be a great compliment to any meal you may order here. If that were not enough, every Wednesday is Sushi night and people line up to get a taste of their fresh sushi. Tortugas is another spot that we hit repeatedly during our two week stretch and for me it NEVER gets old. There are too many great options for that. Five Stars out of Five!
