20 Best Seafood Restaurants near Swansboro

“Always delicious food and great service.“

“the food was fabulous! I can't wait to go back!“

“Thank you Saltwater Grill for an amazing Easter Brunch today! Our reservation was for 1:45pm. We patiently waited to be seated about 5/10 minutes later (as the people seated at the time slot before ours were finishing up). The staff worked SO hard to clear tables, check in the 1:45 scheduled guests, restock chaffing dishes with food, etc. We appreciate our server and the entire staff for giving up their Easter holiday to serve us. The food was excellent and we really enjoyed our family time together on this beautiful day! Happy Easter and thanks so much! (Kudos to the Easter Bunny.. He/she rocked in that role) 😊“

“Awesome place always consistently great food and the staff is so friendly they seem like a family.Hunter did a great job serving us.“

“Great quality seafood cooked to perfection. Go and you will know. It’s all about the food, cooked home style/ calabash/Crystal Coast styles. Extremely generous portions and reasonable prices. Willing to bet those 2 negative reviews I saw had nothing to do with the food. Service has always been attentive so if you had a issue, why wait and address it while paying? You can trust the 99% positive reviews.“

“Great food, and service, love it every time I eat there❣️“

“Great for catering parties of any size. if you have a really large party, I recommend planning a hit. you can schedule in advance by phone and I noticed they had a couple different options for apps for ordering online. but the food is delicious and I think the prices are fair.“

“T&W is truly legendary!! Been eating her for 36 years! There is no comparison anywhere for their AYCE steamed oysters and steamed shrimp every fall and winter! And Shannon is the greatest oyster shucker ever!!“

“This is our second time this year getting a crab and shrimp pot, and everything is amazing! We're thrilled with the quality, consistency, and great customer service!“

“Just a quick message to let you know how much we appreciate your amazing business. Not sure HOW you do it, but EVERY..SINGLE..STAFF MEMBER is friendly, welcoming and kind. They somehow compartmentalize the hectic pace of their job as well as the non-stop stream of customers (and the heat!) to serve all of us with a smile!! We appreciate you all! Thanks for an amazing dinner tonight & for all you do. Have a great weekend 😊“

“Amazing Place, amazing Food, amazing people! Try the pappy sauce! This May just be our new bbq go to!! Finding good bbq plus the best atmosphere & most friendly people is hard anymore, this place is the best! If you are around this area, stop & check it out! I’d give more stars if I could.“

“We held a rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Caribsea! We were so pleased with everything from the planning to the final bill. The atmosphere was elegant and cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service was above and beyond! We had a lot of guests with food allergies… chef prepared specific plates for each of those guests, they labeled all of the food just in case we missed anyone’s allergy (we did buffet style for the majority of our 50 guests.) The final cost (even with an open bar) was a pleasant surprise. I gave Caribsea a budget and they stayed well under - I was shocked. The quality of everything was worth so much more. Everyone had a great time! I want to thank Vito, chef and the wait staff - everyone was so kind and so professional!

Vegetarian options: We had vegan, serious food allergies, and gluten free guests. Chef made plates specifically for their likings.“

“I'm going to give them them five stars for food even though they're mostly seafood restaurant. I could smell the fishies in the air LOL but I'm just the weirdo that doesn't like it I can tell that the seafood lovers love it and locals alike. And the employees there are always so smiley and just happy to help and make you feel good and not like you're a burden on them and that they don't want to be there. Like some people do and some work environments. Its a domino effect when the employees are bright and bubbly, the customers feel happy and they're more enjoyable and less likely to complain I mean. And now and then you'll have your one person that you just can't please. But here everybody is just so pleasant. I'm always happy to go pick up and ordered for doordash there. I only wish I got them more often! Lol. You guys rock! Keep up the good work!

Parking: They don't have a lot of parking spots. They have a couple up front and the Russians just gravel so you kind of got to find them where you can LOL. It's not too difficult.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family oriented restaurant. I'd say! They're amazing here! You can bring your kids and your grandma LOL

Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely on one level even on the outside I believe! Nobody has no excuses to not come. Try this restaurant out now LOL“

“Excellent local restaurant. Great shrimp and grits. Owners are strong community supporters, as well!!“

“Early dinner ... we had shave ribeye steak subs and fries... DELICIOUSLY flavorful!! Tried the appetizer: Chicken Brocolli Cheddar Fritter Balls-- good gracious they were AMAXING!! House made ranch dressing for dipping. Another plus was really nice gift shop on site... plus HOMEMADE old family recipe fudges!!! WOW!! A really nice family feel to this place instead of just a bar hang out joint. Very nice attentive staff working here.“

“We ate at The Trading Post last night. The food was great and the staff was friendly. What stood out the most was how well the staff worked together. They were helping each other, filling glasses and delivering food for each other, the hostess never stopped moving…constantly checking to see if wait staff needed assistance. A great overall experience.“

“Hostess was a jerk..jersey... don't want any part of that“

“They won't take reservations and we called ahead for a party of 11. After spending money at their bar on drinks and appetizers, They then tried to put us at two totally separate tables and when we requested to wait for two closer tables they refused. nobody wants to meet up with their family for vacation and have to sit apart. to top it off the manager was rude!“

“Everything on the menu is great. Great service too.“

“The 2 for 1 ribeye meal including salad bar was great! Always fresh salad bar and the ribeye was excellent as well as the service!“
