Story

Before 1972 the property was a Marina and Fish house. In 1972 Pat and Betty Ann Ricks opened Blue Petes. It was a small place with seats for about twenty people, a bar, country music, fish bait, beer, Pool table, sandwiches and a beautiful setting right on Tabernacle Creek. The restaurant has grown over the years. Its goal still is to provide a variety of good, fresh seafood and great Certified Angus Beef in a friendly and homey atmosphere.

Today the restaurant is owned by twin brothers Nicholas and Aristotle. They were born and raised in the Back Bay area. Growing up they became avid hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen. Their love for this area, good people, great food, and the country lifestyle is what has inspired them to acquire Blue Petes and provide a place for locals to come together and enjoy themselves.

"Blue Pete" is another name for a bird commonly known as a "coot". At one time Back Bay and the surrounding ponds in Pungo were filled with these Birds and also many other species of ducks and geese. Tabernacle Creek, which runs behind the Restaurant, and Back Bay were some of the greatest freshwater fishing and hunting grounds in the country. People came from all over the United States to hunt and fish these waters.

A great place to enjoy a delicious dinner. Scallops were fabulous. We also had oysters Rockefeller and blackened tuna bites. The wasabi sauce is not mild but we loved it's zing! Quality food for the price. Enjoyed live music also.

Had a really good dinner. Both had the crab cakes and steamed shrimp. Some of the best we've had in the area! 👍

Went on a Friday night, so wait time was a little under an hour, but we were expecting that and fine with it. Our waitress was wonderful with fast, friendly and attentive service. The oysters rock and tuna bite appetizers were both very bland and came out room temp. We were pretty disappointed in the appetizers, and the Surf n Turf wasn't impressive, but the Mahi Imperial entree was absolutely wonderful. Both entrees came out hot and we had no complaints there. Overall, GREAT service, decent food.

We were extremely excited to try Blue Pete’s the atmosphere seemed amazing. Unfortunately the rest of the experience was a disaster. The service was the worse I have ever seen. We were a party of 8 so not terribly large. But it took almost 2 hours to finish our meal. The food was mediocre at best but was pricey. The chicken on both chicken parmesans was over cooked to the point of being inedible. The cheesecake was frozen. We had to remind the waitress with forgotten items. Then when our bill came we were shocked with the 20% gratuity, because we had a party of 8. The service we received was not even close to a 10% gratuity yet alone a 20% gratuity. And then to make matters worse the 20% gratuity included the sales tax. So $6 of gratuity was from sales tax alone, instead of being on just the sub total of the bill. And because we were a party of 8 we had no say in the matter. Extremely disappointed and will never come back again and will warn others.
