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 An

gus Beef in a friendly and homey atmosphere. Today the restaurant is owned by Nicholas and Christina Cleanthes. They were born and raised in the Back Bay area. 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.

September understood the assignment 🍎🍁

Meet this month’s Bartender Drink of the Month: BUCK FEVER🦌

Created by Alex and made with Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, apple cider, lemon, cinnamon, maple syrup + a splash of ginger ale.

Basically fall in a glass… with a little kick. 😉

And for the coffee crowd- our Salted Maple Cinnamon Latte has officially entered the chat.

Cocktail or coffee — either way, we’re kicking off September the right way in Pungo. 🍂

Come try them both this month!

Meet the Flockers Tuesday! 🦆
(Because Monday got away from us).

Today, we’re celebrating Tony, one of our incredible prep cooks and dishwashers! Tony is as reliable as they come. He’s the one answering that last-minute call for support, stepping in wherever he’s needed, and somehow keeping a smile on his face even when the shift gets busy.

It’s often said that a good mood or happy disposition is a choice, and Tony actively chooses it every day. His positivity benefits everyone around him, creating an atmosphere where people feel welcome, supported, and at ease. In what can often be a thankless position, Tony works hard, treats everyone with kindness, and takes pride in the restaurant and the job at hand.

We’re incredibly lucky to have Tony with us and truly appreciate everything he does. Seriously…is cloning a thing? Join us in celebrating Tony and thanking him for being such an important part of our flock! 👏 Everyone, meet Tony!
